New homes are an opportunity to enjoy the latest modern conveniences. With the rising price of oil, new homeowners now consider energy conservation a major priority. If you're a contractor or builder, outfitting your new homes with electric heated floors will show potential buyers that the home is not only state of the art but also energy (and budget) efficient.

Electric heated floors are powered by radiant heat. Electrical cables are installed between the cement subfloor and a tile or stone floor surface. Wired into an electric thermostat to control the temperature, the activated cables emit radiant heat directly to the floor. Installation is simple, especially when building a new home: merely line the subfloor with the heat cables before adhering a tile or stone surface. The radiant heating system is ready to be turned on as soon as the cement, grout and adhesive dry.

Traditionally, homes are heated with convection, hot air that circulates around the room to warm things up. Electric heated floors have wires that produce radiant heat that then rises directly to the floor's surface and is transferred to any surface that makes contact. Electric heated floors keep a room warm longer than convection heating because the heat is stored in all the objects touching the floor and does not dissipate as quickly.
