Dear Speedheat/INGRID,

Thanks so much for promptly sending my new RUGBUDDY. I installed it under our playroom rug and my 4 and 6 year old kids could not believe how much warmer it was to play on!

Wonderful product!, August 27, 2009

I bought one of these early in the year & it has been a blessing in my old, drafty, under-insulated house. I don't need to crank up the expensive gas heating, but I stay nice & warm in my family room now. I am saving up to buy 2 more in smaller sizes for other rooms. The increase in my electric bill has been slight, but the decrease in my gas bill has been noticeable!

Plus my older cat loves it too! She just lays right down & goes to sleep!

"Love our Rug Buddy in living room--my daughter about laughed herself silly when I installed it but I have the last laugh, it's glorious heat and she's the first to turn it on! Buying one for BR and parents, thanks for a great product."

"Have a 5x7 in my dining room (it's a little "bump out" with an gangway/underpass running underneath) and it's made all the difference! What used to be like an icebox is now a very pleasant place to dine. (And corner has become my dog's favorite resting spot!)"

"Howdy All, Read through all this and had to join just to post. We use under area rug heating mats for our downstairs and have fallen in love with the product. All our bedrooms are in the basement, and the pellet stove (Harman XXV - love it!) is on the main living floor above keeping us toasty when we want to be. But last winter was the first in our new house, and those basement floors felt coooolllllddd even with large thick area rugs down. I found & bought this product - http://www.speedheat.us/sales/rugbuddy/rugbuddy.html - and have them in the occupied bedrooms plus one in bathroom and one in the hallway downstairs. LOVE THEM! Low energy use, low cost to use. Keeps the bedrooms nice and even, not hot or cold; we just unplug them if we’re going out of town. It took a day or so before the rooms really felt like they were being warmed using these, but now they are perfect. We use a 5.5’x8’ in the master bedroom, a 5’x7’ one in the boys room, a 3’x5’ in the large bath and a hallway runner one. I like a moderate temp at night for sleeping (not that warm) so we keep the bedroom door open all the time, although this had more to do with the dog and cats and kids it ended up working out the best temp-wise too… For the boys at night we don’t close their door, just pull it to halfway and the room warms up noticeably for sleeping. Interior doors are open downstairs during the day and the passive heat rising keeps the edge off things upstairs when we’re at work/school. Pellet stove doesn’t have as far to start from with these things going, and our electricity bill has not taken much of a hit at all! Jeez I should be getting paid for this much smarm eh? A kickback at least maybe… oh oh We just didn’t have the budget to put in radiant floor heat into the basement slab as we dearly would have liked to (built our own place, in a year ago last fall) knowing that our bedrooms were going to be down there. These under rug mat things have made an enormous difference for us downstairs. We were using Cadet wall heaters, only on when we were in the rooms and set to between 55-58 degrees when not occupied and they were huge electricity suckers. The units we have were supposed to be fairly efficient etc. but the basement still never felt that warm unless they were cranked on high all the time. Even then the floor area still felt chilly. Now, I happily sit on the floor in my boys room and enjoy being downstairs again. I loved being down there before in the summer heat as it was 15-20 cooler than outside, and at least 10 degrees cooler than the upstairs:D Now we’ll just unplug ‘em when the weather warms up again. Don’t even know they’re there. Sorry about the tome, but thought I’d add a different alternative to backbreaking amounts of experimental ductwork… Anybody else out there using these?

Question from forum member:

Interesting product. I may try one for my office, under the desk with a timer/thermostat. Most of our area rugs are in the middle of the room. I wouldn’t want to be tripping over a cord. For area rugs I would think that the cord attached would create a safety hazard.

Response:

We haven’t had any trouble with the cords at all, but none of them cross a walking area either.  I’ve had much more trouble with lamp cords myself - two torchieres and a desk lamp later… The cords are heavy duty and are quite durable enough to be walked on, I guess you’d just need to tape them down if they had to unavoidably cross a traffic area.
We’ve used three or four different space heaters in previous houses, as well as the Cadet and also King brand wall heaters and we’ve like these under rug mat thingys the best by far.  Lower utility bills and we don’t freak out about open doors and blankets or drapes across stairwell anymore.  A nice change there.
I’d love to have another small pellet stove downstairs too, but aside from lack of funds and space it’d have difficulty heating each individual room without cooking the room it was in
Anybody else have any good economical basement (or slab floor) room heating solutions?  These things weren’t cheap to purchase, but have been quite cheap to run so far."

"This is just a note to tell you how pleased we are with your product. We purchased 2 pads to go under carpeting in our family room, which is located over an unheated crawl space. We live in northern Indiana and this last month (Dec.) was unusually cold and and we put your product to the test. It surpassed our expectations.

We have always had to have extra blankets on our chairs for those chilly nights and I've put them all away. It's amazing what a little warmth on the floor can do to keep the entire room comfortable.

And with gas prices higher this year, we've kept our thermostat turned back.

I could go on and on, but just know that we think you have a terrific product and we are planning on using it in at least 2 other rooms."

"Thanks for the rugbuddy. It was a bit big for setting up in my showroom so I took it home and set it up under my living room rug. Immediately my Rotweiler dog and cat claimed it! When my 9 year old son got up in the morning he walked over the rug and he was surprised it was so nice and toasty warm. My 3 year old has been lying on it snuggling up and loving it."
