Can I use WarmWire to heat my space or just warm the floor?
For most homes, WarmWire serves as a floor warming supplement to your existing heating system. However, the wire does generate up to 51 BTUs per square foot of heated area (at 2 inch spacing), which is MORE HEAT than any Hydronic heating system. Because WarmWire is not installed under built-ins, cabinets, or walls, the wire may not be able to match the heating requirements of some room. If you plan to use WarmWire as the primary heat for your space, send us a floor plan, noting exposed walls, windows, ceiling, etc and all the associated R-values. If you do not know the R-values, just tell us the thickness of the walls and ceiling and whether the windows are single- or double-pane. We will calculate the heat load of the room and select a wire that meets that load or comes as close as possible.
