Abstract
A floor heating system including a sub-floor, a plurality of fasteners, at least one resistive conductor and a capacitor. The at least one resistive conductor is fastened to the sub-floor by way of the plurality of fasteners. The capacitor is electrically in series with the at least one resistive conductor.
Claims20
A floor heating system, comprising:
- a sub-floor;
- a plurality of fasteners;
- at least one resistive conductor fastened to said sub-floor by way of said plurality of fasteners;
- and
- a capacitor electrically in series with said at least one resistive conductor.
2 more elements
A method of using an electrical heater system kit, the method comprising the steps of:
- selecting a plurality of resistive conductors each having the same resistivity and differing lengths, said plurality of resistive conductors including a first resistive conductor;
- electrically connecting a capacitor in series with said first resistive conductor;
- and
- placing a removable shunt across said capacitor.

A method of installing heater wiring for a floor, comprising the steps of:
- obtaining an area dimension of the floor;
- selecting a wire resistivity dependent upon said area dimension;
- providing a plurality of resistive conductors of said wire resistivity including a first resistive conductor, said plurality of resistive conductors each having a unique length of approximately an integer divisor of said first resistive conductor;
- and
- electrically connecting a capacitor with a shunt across said capacitor to said first resistive conductor.
