Different types of flooring have different heating limits. To ensure floor heating limits are not surpassed, a floor probe should be installed and wired to your thermostat. Generally speaking, a tile or concrete floor can be set to 104° while other types of flooring are typically limited to 86°. If you are unsure about the heating limits of your flooring, refer to your flooring manufacturer.
