Heating up your homes and trying to keep it warm and cozy is a tough job during winters. Especially for people living in regions that experience chilly winters and snowfall, it becomes all the more necessary to keep the floors and walls warm throughout the day. There are various heating options available like gas furnaces, electric base board heat, wood and boilers but most of them are quite costly, use up a lot of energy and are not entirely environmental friendly. The only solution to this is radiant electric floor heating systems which works on the principle of thermal heat radiation and is gaining in popularity as a mainstream heating option in homes, offices, industrial places etc.

A radiant floor heating system is usually installed beneath the flooring or inside concrete slabs and this system heats up the entire area from the ground, up into the living area above. These heating systems are user friendly, comfortable, silent in operation and friendly to the environment. Moreover they can be installed underneath any kind of flooring. The electric radiant heating system is very easy to install, comes at a highly affordable price and is perfect for small bedrooms, bathroom and for homes under renovated.

These systems usually consist of electric floor heating mats which are embedded in a thin layer of concrete across the floor. SunTouch electric floor heat mat kit is a complete installation kit which has all the materials necessary for a perfect installation. It consists of a heating mat, programmable thermostat 500670, loudmouth installation monitor, double sided tape, installation DVD and an installation manual. This kit is designed to warm stone and tile floors and can be used in bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms or any other part of the house. The ‘dry’ radiant electric floor heating systems are appropriate for pre-existing structures without having to enclose the coils and heating tubes in concrete flooring.

Radiant floor heating systems are equally effective if installed under hardwood floorings. The only precaution to be taken is to dry out the slab and subfloor before installing the wood flooring. Any moisture left on the slab can enter the wood flooring as soon as heat is turned on which can result in expansion, contraction, shrinkage or cracking of floors. Such heating systems can also be installed under linoleum or vinyl flooring.

There are various benefits of radiant electric floor heating systems as compared to other form of heating systems. Radiant floor heating systems do not create any kind of breeze or air like forced air heating. Moreover, these systems are very comfortable and consistent, easy to install, save energy, do not dry out the air and do not spread dust or allergens and are therefore highly environment friendly. Unlike heating systems which use water pipes or boilers radiant electric heating systems cut down the risk of breakage and leakage of water pipes. The radiant electric floor heating system transfers heat evenly to all places inside the house and is also vey helpful for people suffering from allergies and asthma.

They say that money talks and…well you know the rest. I know that in today’s economy, most of you are holding on to your home longer than you might if the housing market was booming. While you are making improvements to your current property you can increase its value and desirability to your next home buyer. You basically need to keep in mind just two things: Where to make those improvements, and what to improve. Let’s see if we can figure this out together.

I happen to know from sources deep within the housing industry (okay, maybe it is just several friends who happen to be realtors) that the two most common areas people look at when shopping for a new home are the kitchen and bathroom. That is not to say that the other areas aren’t important. Still, there is something about these two areas that attract the eyes of the potential homebuyer. So, when spending is tight, hit these two key areas first.

What types of improvements should you make to your kitchen or bath? Things that have great visual effect will usually be best. You also want to make it attractive, but not too customized to your own tastes. With the advent of HGTV and the bevy of home improvement shows, everyone wants to be a Bob Vila, Ty Pennington, or Paige Hemming. A nice new tile floor in the bathroom in a neutral color will make you much more money than you will spend doing it. Travertine tile or anything that has a stone look is all the rage right now, and the look of marble is timeless. You might also upgrade that shower with a new massaging head, or replace the whole thing with a ready-to-tile model that you can spruce up in no time. Add shelves and people will be wowed at your cutting edge thinking.

Moving on to the kitchen, take a look at those counter tops and imagine them with a new granite or stone look. You could even tile the backsplash and really give the kitchen some pop. If you have a little more to spend, add a new floor in styles similar to those I talked about previously.

Even something as simple as adding trim to an already tiled floor can do wonders for the appearance. This will add extra value to your home, and catch the eye of the potential buyer, without taking much moolah out of your pocket.

So now you are ready to increase the value of your home, make it more attractive, and sell it…when you are ready. Just make a few minor adjustments to a couple of key areas and listen to the money talk!
