heat systems are used to generate radiant heat.
A ceiling cable heat system uses electricity to provide radiant heat to any room in your home. The system uses a small amount of electricity to heat wires that then radiate heat down from the ceiling. This is similar to a radiant installed under a floor, such as one in a bathroom. You can install a ceiling cable heat system by first determining which rooms you want to heat.
Instructions
1. Start on one side of the ceiling, and attach the cable six inches away from the wall with the plastic staples. Use a staple gun or a hammer to secure the staples to the ceiling.
2. Run the cable along the length of the ceiling, and attach the first row. Secure the cable with a plastic staple every eight to 10 inches.
3. Loop the cable, and start a new row six inches away from the first row. Run the cable along the length of the ceiling, and secure it with plastic staples. Repeat this step until you have covered the entire ceiling with the cable.
4. Run the end of the wire down the wall to the thermostat. A thermostat controls the heat in each room where you have installed the ceiling cable.
5. Connect the wires from the cable to the thermostat. Refer to the ceiling cable heating system's instruction manual to connect the electrical wiring to the thermostat.
6. Plug the thermostat into an electrical outlet, and turn the heating system on to see if it is working properly. If the thermostat does not have a plug, it may need to be hard wired to your circuit panel.
7. Cover the ceiling cable with plaster to complete the installation.
