Hi John,
You mentioned a thermostat. Is it on the floor? or?
The thermostat I referred to in this post was the basement thermostat. It controls the permanently installed zero clearance baseboard heater in the basement. When the weather is cooler we turn it on to somewhere between 15 and 18 as it has the effect of keeping the floor warm above it as well. It actually doesn't come on that much as the basement is well insulated and doesn't take much to keep it warm. The basement is actually heated by the two main furnaces as well but we rarely use them above zero degrees.
There is a separate thermostat for the underfloor heating pads. The option is yours whether to have the sensor in the room or or under the floor. We chose the room as it seems to give us better control. We did install a sensor under the floor but haven't used it.
