How much does underfloor heating cost to operate?
Loose Wire – NADWS
Running cost depends on several factors. To calculate the running cost for your project, visit our online calculator.
To give you an idea, an average bathroom system utilizes about 300 watts, so for some people, that’s just about the same as the lights over the mirror. In dollars and cents, it costs about $5/mo to operate that system in a bathroom for a few hours in the morning and evening.
A whole-house system in a 3,000 sqft space would run about $250/mo in the winter.
The benefits of an electric system are that while electricity is viewed as expensive, the systems can be zoned and programmed and actually make them very cost-effective.
