The feel of warm sand between your toes is one of life's simple pleasures. The heat from the sun is absorbed by the sand, and when your feet touch the beach, the heat rises through your body. It's a sensation that can't be replicated by traditional hot air heaters, but it can be achieved in your own home via electric floor heating wire.

Floor heating wire can be installed under your floor or underneath area carpeting. The wires will then radiate heat upward through the surface of your floor and directly to other surfaces, such as your feet or furniture. Because heat is traveling through surfaces rather than across them, heat is retained longer than it is when you use a forced air heater.

With rising energy prices, floor heating wire is an economical alternative because it runs on regular electric power. If installed under your floor, the power to your floor heating wire is regulated by an electric thermostat that you control. If you chose to install RugBuddy under carpet heaters (for use under area rugs, as opposed to permanent installation), the floor heating wires simply plug into a standard electrical outlet. As heat travels through your body, you'll notice you've warmed up more quickly than you ever have with traditional heating.

Floor heating wire is easily self-installed. Though it's easiest when the home is being built, you can do it yourself when redecorating your home or renovating a room with tiled floors.
