Floor Heating Limits
Rooms with differing floor types may or may not have different heating limits. For example, a tile bathroom floor can be set to heat to a higher target temperature than a floating floor type such as laminate. Since heating limits are controlled by Warmup thermostats, it is necessary, again, to have 1 per room for the ability to monitor and control the heating limits.
