Questions on carpet heating

Where do you place the heating panels under the carpets?

Heating panels are purposely installed away from furniture with solid bases. In bedrooms heating panels are placed next to the bed and not under, in general we attempt to place the heating pad in the areas where you will be in contact with the floor surface.

Although these heaters were originally designed for wall-to-wall carpets, they can also be used for loose rugs and carpets. Ask your Pioneer representative about which rugs and carpets are suitable. This type of installation is great for where you have tiled areas and no heating.

Under carpet heating warms up rapidly, with heat typically felt within 15 to 30 minutes—depending on the thickness of the carpet. However, the warmth tends to dissipate quickly once the system is turned off.

Not always. Carpets with thick foam and rubber or latex backing are not suitable. You should clarify this with the manufacturer before installing heating.

Absolutely. The heating pads are water resistant. The heating elements are fully waterproof. When having your carpets washed, never use the heater to dry them as the carpet could get marked.

Pioneer technicians are fully skilled with lifting and refitting of carpets.

Yes it can. It stands to reason that if the under felt is too thin or worn out, you will feel the “bumps” or “lumps” of the cabling under your feet. Pioneer uses 6mm flat cables to minimize this though. Under lay should be a minimum of 1000gram for best results.

Yes, and sometimes better

Unfortunately, no. Loose rugs can trap heat and restrict the circulation of warm air, which may lead to heat build-up and potentially damage your floor covering.
