Our corporate office is actually in Georgia, so we completely understand! This is actually one of the many reasons why we are here – that’s why the SPEED in Speedheat is so important – the heating up and cooling down time.

Unfortunately, because of condensation issues, radiant floor cooling has not been perfected just yet, but we are working on it! We can, however, replace the central heating system. In fact, a Speedheat electric radiant floor heating system is ideal for a number of reasons in your situation – particularly since you most likely will only be using a few rooms at a time at night when it does become cold. This way, you will not have to heat your entire house just to be comfortable in the rooms you are using. At night time, you would only have to use the heaters in your bedroom, in fact!

Although we do not have air conditioning units, ourselves, we have heard some great things about the comfort and energy efficiency of condensation air conditioners. With both condensation air conditioners and Speedheat floor heating systems, it is fine to open the windows because the radiant effects will not be lost like they would be with a traditional blower system.

Thank you for your interest and questions. Please let us know if we can be of further service.

That being said, if you are using the RugBuddy as an energy efficient primary heating source, a plugin thermostat such as the PlugBuddyâ„¢ is ideal.

The cord is 6′ long; as that is the longest that the UL allows for approval on a space heater. Your 5′ x 7′ area rug will definitely cover the entire heater. The cord flat and in the corner of the RugBuddy, and there is no top or bottom. This allows you to flip the RugBuddy heater whichever way you like to hide the cord best!

Thanks for your interest! Please let us know if we can be of any further help!
