Low Cost Radiant Heat Transforms a Cold Portland Bathroom

Warm, dry summers and chilly, rainy winters mark Portland’s climate. Data from currentresults.com reveals the average low temperature in December, the coldest month of the year, is 35 degrees Fahrenheit. While Portland temperatures may fall below freezing only about 8 times a month in December and January, its proximity to the Pacific coast makes it very damp and that can feel much colder than the temperature might indicate. To make matters worse, indoor tile and stone floors by their nature feel cold underfoot. However, there’s an effective way to warm them up. Radiant floor heating is the perfect solution to take the chill off those floors.

Integrating Radiant Heating into your Bathroom is Easy

For this Portland homeowner adding radiant electric heat to their guest bathroom was very affordable and a great way for them to bring floor heating’s welcoming warmth and comfort to their visiting friends and family. To incorporate floor warming, they installed a 1.5- by 38-foot TempZone™ Flex Roll in their 64-square-foot bathroom for $598.50 at a cost of just $10.50 per square foot (see floor plan).

Energy Use Calculator shows it only costs 15 cents per day to heat this bathroom for four hours a day and according to our Heat Loss Calculations, it only costs $24.05 to heat the bathroom during January, the coldest month of the year. Best of all, the annual operating cost for the heated floor is $118.10 — a very economical way to add the comfort and luxury of a radiantly warm bathroom with soothing warm floors to upgrade their home.
