Can I use it as a primary heating source?
Yes. Heated flooring systems work with a thermostat. You can set your thermostat to turn the system on based on the floor temperature if it is working in conjunction with some other heat source. If the floor is the primary heat source, then the thermostat can be set to turn on based on the room's temperature.

How hot does it get?
A floor heating system never gets any warmer than 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Should I worry about EMF?
Any electric device gives off a small elecromagnetic field (EMF). In most cases, especially in the case of heated flooring, EMF's are completely harmless. However, sensitve electronics such as computer servers could be affected by EMF's. For these applications, Easy Warm Floor manufactures an EMF free floor heating option
Is the floor heating system safe?
Because a floor heating system never rises above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, there is never any risk of burning yourself on the surface of your floor. In regards to installation, a qualified engineer such as the ones on Easy Warm Floor's service team can help you determine the correct power requirements, the right product, and the ideal subflooring for a safe project.
