FAQs
What types of in-floor heating systems perform best in Edmonton’s cold climate?
Edmonton homes benefit from both electric systems—using mats or cables for fast, localized warmth—and hydronic systems, which circulate heated water through tubing beneath floors. Electric setups are excellent for targeted zones like bathrooms, while hydronic systems provide efficient and consistent whole-home comfort. Both eliminate cold spots and deliver even warmth, essential in Edmonton’s long, frigid winters.
How energy-efficient are radiant floor systems compared to forced-air in Edmonton?
Radiant systems warm surfaces directly from the floor up, minimizing heat loss common with ducted systems. Hydronic systems paired with high-efficiency boilers or heat pumps deliver superior energy savings over time. Electric systems offer zone control for quick comfort. Overall, radiant heating can outperform forced-air by a wide margin—often resulting in noticeable cost savings and consistent comfort throughout Edmonton’s prolonged cold season.
What flooring materials work best with radiant heating in Edmonton homes?
Top-performing materials include ceramic and porcelain tiles, natural stone, and concrete—all excellent heat conductors. Engineered hardwood, vinyl, and certain laminates can also perform well if manufacturer-approved. Standard carpeting may reduce system efficiency unless specifically designed for low thermal resistance. Selecting the right flooring ensures effective, comfortable heating and optimal system performance in Edmonton homes.
How much does installing radiant floor heating cost in Edmonton?
Electric systems generally cost between CAD 6–12 per square foot, while hydronic systems range from CAD 11–17 per square foot. A small bathroom (50 sq ft) may cost under CAD 600, while larger areas scale up accordingly. These systems offer long-term operational savings, making them cost-effective in the long run in Edmonton’s energy-intensive climate. en.wikipedia.org+7thegentlemenplumbersedmonton.com+7valtontile.ca+7forbes.combhg.com
How long does installation take for heated floors in Edmonton?
Installing electric radiant systems in a single room typically takes 1–3 days, including subfloor prep, heating element layout, testing, and flooring. Hydronic or full-home installations take longer due to added plumbing and setup complexity. Professional installation ensures reliable performance, code compliance, and durability—critical for enduring Edmonton’s harsh winter demands.
Can Edmonton homeowners DIY in-floor heating installation?
While electric systems are more DIY-friendly than hydronic ones, they still require precise electrical wiring and accurate resistance testing. Hydronic systems involve additional plumbing and pressure setups. Given Edmonton’s building codes and system complexities, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure safety, warranty protection, and long-term reliability.
Does radiant floor heating raise floor height in Edmonton renovations?
Yes—installation typically increases floor height by approximately ½ inch due to the heating elements and installation layers. This added thickness affects door clearances, cabinetry, and thresholds. When planning Edmonton renovations, it’s crucial to account for this change to maintain design continuity and functional layout.
Do heated floors improve indoor air quality and comfort in Edmonton homes?
Yes. Radiant flooring reduces reliance on forced-air systems, significantly decreasing circulation of dust, allergens, and airborne irritants. They also deliver silent, steady warmth. For Edmonton homes sealed against the cold, this creates a cleaner, more comfortable indoor environment—especially beneficial for allergy-sensitive individuals.
What maintenance do radiant floor systems require in Edmonton?
Electric radiant systems are mostly maintenance-free once installed and calibrated. Hydronic systems benefit from occasional inspections for leaks, pressure checks, and boiler performance. In Edmonton’s cold climate, proactive maintenance ensures consistent reliability and efficiency—helping prevent issues during peak heating demand.
Do radiant floor systems add value in Edmonton’s real estate market?
Absolutely. Heated floors are considered a premium upgrade that enhances comfort, energy efficiency, and warmth—especially appealing for Edmonton’s buyers. They offer modern appeal, long-term savings, and health benefits, making homes with radiant heating more attractive and potentially more valuable in the competitive local market.

What Our Clients Say
As a DIY, I really appreciated the snow melting cable from Heavenly Heat because it is so heavily jacketed I had no trouble with damage, testing the cable before and after proved that it withstood whatever it had to during installation. I love that it has a built-in return connection; meaning the cable doesn’t have to make the “run” back to the relay panel – this made the install so much easier.
Amazing product! We installed easy mat in a family room. The family room was part of an addition that was on a slab so the room was extremely cold especially in the winter. We used the mat under pad and carpet and it heats up in minutes. We are thrilled with how this product performs.
Extremely well made and truly an excellent product. Couldn’t be happier with customer service at Heavenly Heat.
Ordered floor heating cable. Works well. A great solution for an odd shaped space and the price is great. We installed it in a bathroom floor that is above and unheated garage. Just the right solution.
It was a pleasure dealing with Heavenly Heat during home renovation project. Customer support was excellent, advising on how-to (I hired electrician at the end to install the system at the end, but still they were very helpful). Over all very positive experience.
Awesome floor heat system. I have installed Heavenly Heat as well as a couple other brands and this one for the price cannot be beat. It also comes with extras that the more expensive systems do not come with such as the alarm to let you know if you have damaged the cable during installation. The thermostat takes a bit of time to learn and is not as easy, but once you figure out how to program it, its no problem. Will definitely buy again. The floor is already nice and warm.
Good quality and much cheaper than many heating cables out there. No problem at all. I didn’t use the installation strips but bought uncoupling membrane. It makes it much easier to install since you can remove the cable and move them closer. Keep in mind you cannot cut your cable. There is some trial and error until the coverage is perfect with your cable length. Thermostat works well too and is programmable with many options.
Amazing product. Glad I went with these guys.
An awesome heating system, we used it in our bathroom renovation project; and honestly, after hours of research I couldnt find anything else even near the same quality for the same price. Would absolutely reccomend.
I’m very happy with Heavenly Heat team. It’s my 3rd project with this team and I’m always happy with their work.
