The best video I've found so far on how to install this.
Thanks for posting this. I just ordered one of these from your Canadian location and this video made it much easier to figure out.
Thanks for this video! I followed your steps and its all set up. You are the only video on here for this so thank god for you!
Thanks a bunch! You saved me a visit from an electrician. First time a charm.
Great help with the wiring for replacing a "end of life" SOLO with a HOME. Excellent.
Glad to hear the video could be of help!
Thank you very much sir! Your video helped me a whole lot with my heating floor system! You got yourself a new subscriber!
Thank you sir for your help
Absolutely detail video, Thank you
Thanks a lot, your video is very helpful and your explanation, exceptional.
You should really get out of the habit of cutting multiple wires at the same time. You'll learn the hard way if you haven't yet lol. Thanks for the video 😬
exactly what i needed. thxxxxx
Thanks a lot
Thank you for this very helpful video. I see the white wire from the 12/3 cable is not being connected here at all, and not at the fuse-box therefore. All of the ground wires (mat, thermocouple, 12/3 wire) are connected together and the ground wire from the 12/3 cable is attached to the ground in the fuse-box. Although this thermostat is a GFCI, is it still necessary to put a 2pole GFCI in the fuse box? Thank you again for making this video.
The Ground fault protection is provided by the thermostat. There is no need for a GFI in the breaker box. The thermocouple is not connected to ground, both wires go to the wire terminal on the front of the thermostat base.
Thank you so much! great video@@Warmlyyours
Do you know what to do with the Grey Thermostat Cable that came with the roll of heating coil? the Schluter video barely shows the guy just tucking it under the face-plate not connecting it to nothing, very confusing.... Your Video helped way more Thanks!
Hi Dave, glad to hear you enjoyed our video! The grey thermostat cable gets installed into C and D in the blue terminal strip on the front of the base. Hope that helps!
WarmlyYours I forgot to mention that the grey wire sensor was included with the heating cable and a black wired sensor came with the thermostat, so there are two and i guess I can use either one
Another question, so this mat is large enough for it to be 240V? For a mat requiring 240V ( mine does), you would use a double pole breaker, where you would hook up one black wire to one pole, of the breaker, the other red wire to the other pole, and the ground wire from the mat ( which is what I have) would go of course to the ground. Is this double pole breaker wiring correct as I mentioned? Thank you very much.
Yes, that wiring is indeed correct! Always feel free to give us a call 24/7 if you're working on this and need some help asap. You can reach our tech team day or night by calling (800) 875 -5285. Thanks for watching!
Great video. SO clear, thank you! I still have one possibly stupid question...Our Previous Thermostat broke down (an 115 AF GA08) and Warmly Yours recommended the one of the Video to replace it. SO I have it now...My question is...from the 4 wires (2 reds and 2 blacks) coming out of teh wall, how do I know which are LINE and which are LOAD? will everything explode if I connect LINE instead of Load?...
I finally found the difference but my issue is that the LINE wires are too thick and don t fit under the screws....Each of teh 2 is made of 2 wires in a tress so it was working OK with the 115 AF AG but not with the new one! I need to find a solution or need to send it back I guess.Any suggestion?
Hi Alexandre, I would recommend you go ahead and give our tech team a call. They can help walk you through the installation properly 24/7. So whenever you have some time to get this all set up, feel free to give us a call at (800) 875 -5285. Thank you!
@@Warmlyyours Thanks a lot. I called them and I could install it. There is a red light blinkng on the right side is this normal? Is there a way to remove the light?
Hi there I just installed one of these very similar but non programmable thermostats. So I have it wired the same way you did with my hot and neutral wires from breaker panel going to the line terminal and the wires from heating mats/ junction box connected to the load terminals on thermostat but my thermostat doesn’t come on. It has power to it. Not sure if my thermostats faulty or if I just installed wrong? Could you help me please?
Hi Kyle, it sounds like you will definitely need to talk to our tech support team. Please give us a call at: (800) 875 - 5285. They're available 24/7 to help you out!
Thank you sir...
What did you do with the white wire that came into the box on the 12/3 cable that connects to the panel? I will assume you wire nutted it off in the box correct? Also is the thermostat GFCI protected?
Hi Ramertt, the white wire may be a neutral wire from a 240V breaker that will not be used since you need just the 2 hot connections. The thermostat is GFCI protected, a 120V will need a single hot/neutral while 240V needs 2 from a dedicated non-GFI breaker. Please feel free to give our tech support team a call should you need any help! We can be reached at (800) 875 - 5285
How to install thermostat 120 volts
Hi Jose, it would depend on the model of thermostat you purchased from us. You can select the one you are trying to install on this support page and get any documentation you need to help get everything set up: www.warmlyyours.com/en-US/support/floor-heating
Why there is no “ground” in 240V combustion and the new thermostat is screaming at me that I don’t have a ground protection… also make sure you install this way higher than regular switches otherwise you will bend a lot during programming process… I have mine on 5 feet from the floor and it is perfect! It needs to be on your eyes level.
It would be helpful if you could include the ground connection as part of this video.
Thanks for watching! and great point. In this video, all the grounds were tied together and screwed into the gang box. If you want to see that section please watch the 12:16 mark of this video: ruclips.net/video/WrCevMuNk5M/видео.html. It's an installation video of multiple floor heating mats being tied together and shows how the grounds are dealt with. If you have any specific questions pertaining to an installation you are involved with, please call us at (800) 875-5285 or chat us at www.warmlyyours.com/en-US/support and we'll be happy to help.
Agreed, I watched this just to figure out what to do with the ground connection, the instructions and every video fails to speak about that.
Thank you for your feedback! I will definitely let our tech team know about this and be sure to plan any future videos with a more detailed review of this step.
@@Warmlyyours Same! Want to know what to do with the ground wires on the mat and from the circuit
If you look at our response to the original commenter, this should help you find our video that does review this.

I'm having a GFCI trip on my ditre heat system. Have a guy tell me that using a wire nut on the ground wire and the braided ground wire that it may not get a good hold and could trip it?. It seems to heat up fine all day and then when I leave it trips, is that a problem you have run into?
Hi Robert, I checked with our tech team and here are a few things to check for first that might help identify it since there are several things that could be causing it: Is the house ground properly wired (including loose wire nut)? Is nuisance tripping present? Is the reset button getting bound up, not moving freely? Is there a ground fault present in the heating elements (Ohms Ω Test)? or given this problem description, Is there power leakage to ground? If there is already a GFCI breaker, replace it with a regular breaker.
First step though should be an ohms test though. If you need more help feel free to call our 24/7 tech support line at 800 875 5285.
Will the load wires have voltage at the same time or do they cycle? 120 volt set up.
These are constant wattage cables. When the thermostat calls for heat, the thermostat sends voltage to all the heating mats or cables attached to it. A single thermostat can switch up to 15 amps in 120V or 240V. 240V allows the thermostat to control twice the square footage as 120V, but it is not more efficient. The voltage is either on or off for the floor, there is no cycling.
does the 240V source need to be stranded wire? what gauge for 20A breaker?
Stranded wire is not needed, and most supply wire from a breaker is solid. Wiring size is dictated by local code, and that should be addressed by a licensed electrician.
Hi, can I connect 2 matts to 1 thermostat?
Hi there, you can connect multiple mats to one thermostat, we typically recommend no more than three as long as the load on the thermostat does not exceed 15 amps.
WarmlyYours thanks
I wierd my thermostat in and im getting a ground fault detected what do I do
Robert, if resetting the unit at the controller (right-side button) does not work we recommend resetting the breaker. Turn off the breaker for 5 seconds and turn it back on. That should reset the GFCI. If it does not please call our 24/7 Tech Support line at 1-800-875-5285, and we will be happy to figure out what to do next.
This is great
WarmlyYours what happens if the cable get cut
Do you mean the floor heating cable or one of the wires for the thermostat?
Will it work with a gfci breaker?
It has a built in one with the thermostat, so usually if there's a second in that circuit it will trip. Contact our tech support if you need help installing one with your system! (800) 875 - 5285.
do the breaker needs to be arc fault protected
The breakers need to be non-GFI, and whatever type if required by your local code. The National Electrical Code requires GFI protection for the floor which is supplied by the thermostat that controls the floor heating. Thanks for watching!
Where does the neutral braid get hooked to?
The wiring diagram be found here: www.warmlyyours.com/en-US/publications/OJ-THERMOSTAT-GENERIC-WIRING-DIAGRAM-A.pdf
What about the ground wires, they were not mentioned?
The ground wires actually get grounded to earth. They are connected to the ground wire inside the junction box, or the grounded junction box. Thanks for watching!
Can I get power from an outlet?
Hi Leo, if you mean if it can be plugged in, this system cannot. It must be hardwired into the wall.
@@Warmlyyours thanks for the reply,
Can I hardwire it from an outlet (its 120) insted of running it all the way to the breaker panel ( the panel is far from the room ) I might only have a tv plug in .
Thanks !!
@leo G, We strongly recommend using a dedicated line for our floor heating systems, as this will greatly reduce the possibility of sporadic GFCI tripping at the thermostat. If the power is brought from a shared outlet, it may increase the possibility of a sporadic trip issue, forcing you to reset the thermostat more than you may like.
@@Warmlyyours got it !!
I will use your product environ foil mat in a 9'x10' area so I'm thinking to get 3: 3'x 8' and some underlayment ( plywood subflooring ) not sure if I need to use cerazorb or cork .
Hopefully everything goes well
, I got A friend who also is interested on this product ,I've been talking with him about it. He got like 3 big room and this product seems to be the right one to use
Thanks for the information.
If you're installing over a plywood subfloor, you most likely will not need cerazorb or cork but feel free to talk to our tech team on our website chat to make sure: www.warmlyyours.com/ or over the phone at (800) 875 - 5285. Hope both projects go well, Thanks for watching!
Is this a 220 v ?
It's dual voltage so it can work with 120V or 240V systems.
Hi Peter, both systems heat the same, they can cover different amounts of area for one thermostat depending on the voltage. We'd recommend using our online tools to help determine if there is anything further you'd need for your specific project: www.warmlyyours.com/floor-heating/quote-builder
This video doesn't explain properly and he says you can put the live wire and the neutral on either pole, Shluter says not to, you put the neutral where it says neutral.
Mine burnt.
Hi Erik, This video shows a 240V installation. There are 2 hots in 240V and no neutrals. We do mention that the thermostat is a 2 pole switch and it switches both legs. There is no polarity in the heating element. This diagram here might better explain it: www.warmlyyours.com/en-US/publications/OJ-TWIN-WD-DUAL-A.pdf
If you have a WarmlyYours system, you can always contact our tech team 24/7 to get assistance. Let us know if you need help replacing the thermostat!
And the kids will play with it cuz it's too low
