Electrical Thermal Storage (ETS) Radiant Floor Heat Systems
Contact Power Plant Supply for Details sales@powerplantsupplyco.com

Electric radiant floor heat systems are similar to other radiant floor heat systems, up to the point of heating the floor. Other systems produce heat on demand like furnace boilers and hot air circulation systems. Electrical radiant floor heat may be integrated into an electric thermal storage system (ETS). Using electric energy to heat a thermal storage mass like a concrete floor slab, electrical radiant floor heat qualifies for reduced time of day rates.

There are considerations when designing an electrical thermal storage system utilizing a concrete floor slab. Power companies do not provide specific design and/or installation instructions beyond installing the equipment used to control the time of day records.

There are some basics to follow which do not add cost to the building that result in significant energy savings. Home owners are making ETS systems a design priority. Lower energy cost with all the benefits of electrical radiant floor heat are an attractive benefit.  For more information on radiant floor systems, contact Power Plant Supply Co; sales@powerplantsupplyco.com.

Suggestions for Electrical Thermal Slab Storage Design

A 4 inch slab-on-ground inside the insulated building envelope, with a minimum of 2 inch of rigid insulation underneath, offers substantial concrete thermal mass retention qualities. Cost for a thermal storage 4 inch slab is normally absorbed in the basic design of the building with no extra outlays. For ETS time of day consideration, the basement or slab must be thermally heated with electrical energy. Consult a qualified industry source for more detailed information sales@powerplantsupplyco.com.

When considering the type of heating cable to use: low voltage heat systems or high voltage heat cables may be utilized. Of special note if high voltage cables are considered; *by code high voltage 120/240v etc. cables must be isolated by covering them with a minimum of two inches of concrete in the slab. A more durable 120/240v cable with better jacket and moisture protection qualities are available at Power Plant Supply Co. Upper floor levels can be heated with high voltage electrical floor cables only where concrete over pours can be used to cover high voltage cables.

Less restricted low voltage systems may be installed on upper floors instead of high voltage cable. Concrete floors and the added floor support cost are eliminated.

Low voltage floor heating systems: Low voltage floor heat systems convert line voltage in the control unit to between 8-30 volts of electricity and this low current is then sent through the heating elements. Resistance in the elements heat the floor at controlled temperatures. The low-voltage heating elements available are ZMesh or Tuff Cable, depending on the installation. The heat created radiates from the element through the floor and continues to warm other objects in the room. None of the heat produced is wasted before being fully utilized.

Floor covers like tiles for example are installed over the grout as per normal installation. Efficient low voltage cables may be imbedded just below the slab surface, or placed in a tile mortar bed or thin set on the slab surface.

Low voltage ZMesh element screen may be laid directly on the slab and flooring installed over the ZMesh. Low voltage radiant floor heat radiate heat like the sun shining through a window; warming floors and the room, while storing thermal energy in the concrete for greater energy efficiency.

Low voltage cable does not require a deep burial in concrete for protection from high voltage effects. Low voltage floor heating cable may be imbedded in a tile grout thin set, or on a slab or wood sub floor. Upper Floors may also be heated with low Voltage ZMesh element, which is placed on the sub floor and hardwood flooring or other floor coverings installed over the mesh. Upper concrete floors with all the associated cost and support structures are not necessary when utilizing low voltage systems.

In general, heat loss should be calculated for each project; the better insulated the home the more efficient a floor radiant heating system will be. Efficient heating and energy storage with electric power provides comfort and savings superior to other forms of heating.

Time of day electrical rates utilizing; Electrical Thermal Storage (ETS) Radiant Floor Heat Systems
For greater detail and assistance contact Power Plant Supply

Time of day rate is an optional rate available to customers utilizing floor electrical radiant heat. Customers who qualify for the rate can take advantage of low-cost electricity by focusing on the “time-of-day” the energy is used. To qualify for use with the TOD rate, Electrical thermal storage system must be utilized, for example concrete slab thermal storage is an acceptable system for TOD.

To encourage customers to use the majority of their electricity during "off-peak" times, In Nova Scotia for example, Nova Scotia Power offers the TOD rate during low cost "off-peak" times for thermal storage customers; the heat is release later in the day when cost are higher. Thermal storage may be utilized by using various storage methods; an insulated basement slab or insulated slab-on-ground is recognized as an available thermal storage mass.

The time-of-day (TOD) schedule is easy to follow and is automatically recorded for the customer. In some cases power used on all weekends or holidays for example and during night time hours, 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., is charged at the "off peak" rate; approximately half of the regular rate.

A home with electrical radiant floor heat and a ETS concrete slab system: qualifies for "off-peak" time charges: power drawn/stored for heat, or for water heaters, dryers, washers, snow melt systems etc. are charged at the TOD rates.
