Easily Calculate the Floor Heating Cost in a Montreal Living Room

Montréal is the largest city in Québec. Predominantly French speaking, it’s set on an island in the Saint Lawrence River and named after Mt. Royal, the triple-peaked hill at its center. Montreal experiences its coldest winter weather in January with nearly the entire month’s temperatures falling just below freezing. In fact, from November until April, Montréal can remain below freezing all day long. According to currentresults.com the city typically has 74 days a year when the temperature never rises above 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). With consistently cold weather like that, homeowners can find solace by bringing additional warmth to their homes with radiant floor heating.
