under floor (laminate) electric heat
Hi Harold. Hope you are staying warm. Looks like the west got its first cold snap. We are using Pergo Laminate. It's the XP Peruvian mahogany. We did it ourselves. It is approved for under floor heating. In my opinion this kind of heating really just prides warm feet as opposed to heating a room. The two pads we use provide a total of 225 watts over 22.5 square feet. It is 10 percent of the roughly 2400 watts of electric heat spread over 6 locations of electric heat in the coach. 4 in the coach and 2 in the basement. Makes for even warm quiet heat to about minus 5 or so. I like the idea of slow speed forced air systems including yours. Moving air is always better in freezing conditions especially when plumbing is involved.
Hope this helps.
