A radiant heat system manufacturer, Radiant Floor Company, opines that 120 to 135 deg F is "ideal" and most sources we have found discuss typical radiant heat operating temperatures in the 115-135 degree range.
Is it better to turn down the heat at night?
According to Moody, this rule applies to all types of furnaces, and holds true even when the temperature outside is very cold. You should turn down the heat before you go to bed too. Besides saving energy, you'll also be more comfortable when you're sleeping.
Can you leave a heated floor on all the time?
It is advised that in the depths of winter, an underfloor heating system should be kept on at all times. Although it should be at different temperatures depending on usage and activity in the house. This is because underfloor heating can take two to three hours to warm up, so it is best to not completely turn it off.
How do you set a thermostat for radiant heat?
Setting the floor temperature to between 80-85 degrees is ideal and then adjust it from there. Since underfloor heating radiates, the actual temperature of the room will be much cooler than that to which their thermostat is set. Most radiant heaters go up to over 100 degrees for those who want it super toasty.
What temp should I set my radiant floor?
Radiant floors should not exceed 85 degrees F at the surface. 85 degrees is our skin temperature, so anything warmer starts too feel too warm. Floor coverings other than stone or tile REQUIRE a maximum temperature below 85 F. Most people are very comfortable between 75-80 degrees F.Apr 2, 2013
What temperature should I set my boiler for underfloor heating?
Underfloor heating requires a flow temperature of 50°C flow and 40°C return, so using UFH with a condensing boiler is ideal for taking advantage of this.
