DEVI Intelligent Electric Floor Heating

DEVI Electric floor heating goes particularly well under hard floor surfaces and does not take up valuable floor space. One of the great advantages of floor heating in bathrooms is that heat is not lost in the exhaust air, as seen with convection heating.  This form of heating is hidden from view and considerably reduces the amount of traveling dust particles which is naturally a great relief to allergy and asthma sufferers.

The DEVI Thermostats allow you to heat specific rooms independently and can be programmed to automatically meet your weekday and weekend lifestyle. Pure comfort is far from the only reason to choose DEVI floor heating. DEVI offers flexibility, durability, minimal energy consumption and comes with a warranty that is second to none.

Application Electric floor heating is ideal for bathrooms, ensuites and laundry rooms. It works perfectly under floor coverings such as marble, stone, slate and all varieties of tiles. It’s also fabulous under carpet and timber floors.  Please note that if used under carpet, cables must be laid in a sand/cement bed or levelling screed.

Installation The installation of an electric floor heating system is generally straight forward, although depending on the system, the level of complexity can vary.  It is very important that care is taken during the install. It is very important that care is taken during the install to avoid cutting or damaging the cable in any way.

Maintenance Electric floor heating systems are virtually maintenance free so long as they have been properly installed at the front end with no damages to the cables. If the cable damage is minor, more often than not it can be easily fixed. Once they have been installed, good quality cables have a lifespan of upwards of thirty years.

Cost Electric floor heating is a cost-effective heating solution when properly used. The upfront cost of an electric system can be much less than that of a hydronic floor heating system. Here is an example of running cost, please note it depends on the electricity plan. Here is an equation that we use for a rough approximate based on the charges on our electricity bill:

watts X rate during biggest peak = running costs per hour

Example:

Bathroom 1 (3m2) uses 450 w = $0.18 per hour approx.
Bathroom 2 (4m2) uses 600 w = $0.24 per hour approx.

Thermostats Another factor in ensuring the highest efficiency of your floor heating system is a high quality thermostat. They will allow you to heat specific rooms or areas independently or program them to automatically meet your weekday and weekend lifestyle. You can select from manual or programmable thermostats or incorporate a mix of the two if preferred. A good quality thermostat will allow for greater control over temperature, zoning and timing making it easy for you to make the most out of your floor heating system.
