FAQs

Can I cut the ProWarm Underfloor Heating Cable to fit my room?

No, the ProWarm Underfloor Heating Cable is a series-type cable and cannot be cut or shortened. You must order the correct length for your space and ensure it is laid out without overlapping.

What is the recommended floor coverage percentage?

It is recommended to cover approximately 90% of your floor area with the heating cable for optimal and efficient heating. Order slightly less than the total floor space to achieve this.

What is included in the ProWarm Underfloor Heating Kit?

The kit typically includes the ProWarm Underfloor Heating Cable, Floor Primer (ProWarm Ultraprime), a High-Quality Roller for application, Adhesive Tape for cable placement, and Conduit for cable protection.

What type of thermostat do I need?

You will need a thermostat specifically designed for electric underfloor heating systems. Ensure it is compatible with the cable's wattage and features you require, such as programming or Wi-Fi control.

How long does the installation take?

Installation time can vary depending on the room size and complexity. Typically, laying the cable and preparing the subfloor can take several hours, plus drying time for the primer.

What is the warranty for the cable?

ProWarm offers a CableSafe Guarantee, which provides a free replacement if the cable is accidentally cut during installation. Specific product warranties may also apply, please refer to the product documentation.

Can this system be used with any floor covering?

Yes, it is compatible with most floor coverings like tile, stone, wood, and laminate, provided the subfloor is prepared correctly and the flooring manufacturer's guidelines for use with underfloor heating are followed.

Troubleshooting

System not heating

Check that the thermostat is powered on and set to the correct temperature. Verify all electrical connections are secure and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Use a multimeter to test the continuity and resistance of the heating cable against the manufacturer's specifications.

Uneven heating

Ensure the cable is not kinked or overlapping. Check that the floor primer was applied evenly and allowed to dry properly. Verify that the floor covering is installed uniformly.

Error code on thermostat

Consult the thermostat's manual for the specific error code. Common issues include open circuit (cable break) or short circuit (cable damage). Contact technical support if the issue persists.

Cable damaged during installation

If the cable is accidentally cut, stop installation immediately. Contact ProWarm for guidance on the CableSafe Guarantee for a free replacement cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Plan your layout carefully, ensuring the cable covers approximately 90% of the floor area and does not overlap or touch itself. Mark the cable path on the subfloor.
  2. Apply the ProWarm Ultraprime floor primer evenly using the provided roller. Allow it to dry completely according to manufacturer instructions.
  3. Secure the heating cable to the subfloor using the provided adhesive tape, following your marked path.
  4. Install the conduit for the cold lead and any sensor wires as per instructions.
  5. Connect the cable and thermostat following the wiring diagram. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
  6. Install your chosen floor covering over the heating cable.

Compatibility:

  • The ProWarm Underfloor Heating Cable is compatible with most floor types, including tile, stone, wood, and laminate, when installed correctly with appropriate levelling compounds or subfloor preparation.
  • It requires a compatible thermostat for temperature control and programming. The thermostat should be suitable for electric underfloor heating systems.

Care:

  • Once installed and the floor covering is complete, the system requires minimal maintenance.
  • Regularly test the system via the thermostat to ensure optimal performance.
  • Avoid placing heavy, immovable objects directly on the heated floor for extended periods, as this can trap heat.
  • When undertaking future renovations, be extremely cautious not to damage the heating cable beneath the floor covering.
