i cant figure out how to wire the mtc 2991uhf thermostat
We have a very large rec room that required 3 mats to cover. Thermosoft told us to hook two of them directly to the thermostat and the third use a power module that is hooked to the thermostat. The 2 mats work great but the one through the power module keeps tripping and shutting off. We have checked the floor continuity and it is fine. Thermosoft has sent us a couple different power modules none work. My husband tried bypassing the main thermostat to see if the floor mat worked it worked fine. We have had the floor in 3 years now and that one section has never worked right. At first thermosoft told us that they had sent us the wrong power module to begin with but none of the others have worked as well. Has anyone else had this problem with large areas?

Have a den concrete floor that i'm installing floating bamboo floor over. 14.5 x 14 with a couple of small Cut outs. Will your product work and what percentage of the floor needs to be covered with radiant heat?
How about past ten years with this product? Do you have to tear up your floors and reinstall, or just go without the radiant heat after that and go back to another heat source?

In general, any carpet with R value less than 1 or 2 will work normally. Less is better. Please make sure to follow special instructions for under-carpet installation. Please do not hesitate to call us at 800.308.8057 for further support with your project.
