Answers to common questions

What engineers ask us most about wire for Radiant Flooring applications.

We can select materials and design our wires to be compatible with your chosen sterilization method, whether it's autoclave, EtO, or gamma radiation. We can provide guidance on the best materials for your specific needs.

Our heating wires are designed for efficiency, durability, and easy installation. They provide even, comfortable heat and are built to last, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable radiant heating system for both residential and commercial applications, including RVs.

What types of wire are used for radiant floor heating?

Resistance heating wires are the core component of electric radiant floor systems. Pelican Wire offers a variety of resistance alloys and insulation options to suit different flooring types and heating requirements.

Is radiant floor heating energy-efficient?

Yes, radiant floor heating can be more energy-efficient than traditional forced-air systems because it heats objects and people directly, rather than just the air. This results in less heat loss and more consistent temperatures.

Can I install radiant floor heating under any type of flooring?

Our radiant heating wires can be installed under most types of flooring, including tile, stone, laminate, and engineered wood. We can help you select the right product for your specific flooring type.

What is the difference between a single-conductor and a dual-conductor heating cable?

A single-conductor cable has two cold leads that must both be connected to the thermostat, which can sometimes make installation more complex. A dual-conductor cable has only one cold lead, which simplifies the installation process.

How much does it cost to operate a radiant floor heating system?

The operating cost of a radiant floor heating system depends on several factors, including the size of the room, the desired temperature, and your local electricity rates. However, because they are so efficient, they can often be more affordable to operate than other heating systems.

Can I use a radiant floor heating system as my primary heat source?

In many cases, yes. A well-designed radiant floor heating system can provide enough heat to be the primary heat source for a room or even an entire home. Our engineers can help you determine the heating requirements for your space.

What is the lifespan of a radiant floor heating system?

Our radiant heating wires are designed to last for many years. When installed correctly, a radiant floor heating system can provide reliable, maintenance-free heat for the life of your floor.

Do you offer any warranties on your radiant heating products?

Yes, we offer a limited warranty on our radiant heating products. Please contact us for more details.

Can I install a radiant floor heating system myself?

While it is possible for a skilled DIYer to install a radiant floor heating system, we recommend hiring a qualified electrician to ensure the system is installed safely and correctly.
