Question 1

What is the difference between a heating mat and a heating foil?

Accepted Answer

Heating mats (150W/m²) are embedded in tile adhesive under hard floors like tiles and stone — they require no extra height. Heating foils are laid under floating floors like laminate, vinyl, or LVT — they sit between the subfloor and the floor covering without adhesive.

Question 2

Which thermostat is compatible with Energicwave heating mats and foils?

Accepted Answer

All Energicwave thermostats (ETER 5.0W, ETER 5.0B, WIDE 8.0) are compatible with all Energicwave heating mats and foils. The ETER 5.0 is a digital thermostat with 7-day scheduling. The WIDE 8.0 is a premium model with a large colour display and app connectivity.

Question 3

How do I calculate how much heating mat or foil I need?

Accepted Answer

Use the Energicwave Size Calculator at https://energicwave.com/calculator. Enter your room dimensions and floor type, and the calculator will recommend the right product, wattage, and size. As a rule of thumb, cover 70–80% of the usable floor area (excluding furniture footprints).

Question 4

Can I install Energicwave heating mats myself?

Accepted Answer

The mat itself can be laid by a competent DIYer, but the electrical connection must be done by a qualified electrician. The thermostat must be wired into a dedicated circuit. Full installation instructions are available at https://energicwave.com/documents.

Question 5

What wattage heating foil do I need?

Accepted Answer

For supplementary heating (taking the chill off), 80W/m² is sufficient for most rooms. For rooms with poor insulation or as a primary heat source, choose 110W/m² or 220W/m². The Energicwave Technology page at https://energicwave.com/technology has a detailed wattage comparison guide.
