How to use the Heatwell App

​

Step 1: Finding the floor Area

All areas should be entered in meters

The area(s) in blue are positive values.  Area 1 should be the width and length of the total area you want to heat.

If the area you want to heat is an odd shape you should break up the area into squares / rectangles

If you need to add additional space please press the "Add" button

​

The areas is red are used to reduce the size of the heated area.

There are four different possible reductions.  Heating is not required under anything fixed to the floor.  Heating can be in a shower, however, this is personal preference.  Please allow for heating under hanging vanities.

Leave the blue values as zero if they do not apply.
