State of the
Electric Radiant
Heating Market
INSIGHTS FROM WARMLYYOURS
2013 ANNUAL REPORT & INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Industry Overview
In 2013, growth in the radiant heating industry continued to
gain steam, especially in the second half of the year. Strength
in this area was due in part to stabilization and the beginning
of positive growth in the housing and remodeling markets.
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported in its
December REALTORS®
Confidence Index1
, that as 2013 ended,
89% of realtors surveyed saw home prices continued to rise.
The majority of respondents, 92%, expected home prices to
continue on that growth trend, though at a more modest pace,
in 2014.
In its fourth-quarter Remodeling Business Pulse (RBP) survey2
,
the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI)
reports that growth in the industry continues to be strong
with remodelers confident that business conditions will remain
positive going into 2014. Survey data attributes the strong
growth in 2013, and anticipated continued strength into 2014,
to consumer confidence, leading to an increased willingness by
homeowners to spend money on home remodeling projects.
Additional factors contributing to the strength in the market
included homeowners starting renovations that had been
postponed, improving home prices, and overall economic
growth. Both the National Association of REALTORS®
and NARI
anticipate growth will continue at a steady rate into 2014
WarmlyYours Performance
Business has been good in the radiant heating industry. While
2013 started with modest growth, the market picked up steam
in the third and fourth quarters.
WarmlyYours’ total consolidated gross sales (U.S. and Canadian
markets combined) were up 9.8% over the previous year. After
a slow start in in the first quarter of 2013 with a 1.5% increase
over the same period in 2012, sales picked up in the second
quarter with a 9.6% increase over the second quarter of 2012.
Sales peaked in the third quarter of 2013 with an impressive
21.1 % gain and continued with strong and steady growth of
9.7% for the final quarter of 2013.
Geographic Breakdown
U.S and Canada
In the U.S. market, net sales were up 14.1% over 2012. Floor
heating, WarmlyYours’ highest volume product category, led
net sales, up 10.3% this year, with U.S. gross profits up 11.3%.
The Canadian market was somewhat weaker, down 5.8% in net
sales and 5.6% in gross profits as compared to the prior year.
However, the growth in the December numbers for Canada,
36.9% in net sales and 28% in gross profits, may indicate some
renewed strength in that market.
Performance by State/Province
Analysis of gross sales on a state-by-state (or province) basis
reveals the top five states for WarmlyYours floor heating sales
in 2013 were, in descending order, Ontario, California, Illinois,
New York, and Pennsylvania, as compared to the top five
ranking in 2012, Ontario, California, New York, Illinois, and
Pennsylvania. Illinois jumped ahead of New York by posting the
greatest year-over-year percentage gain of all states at 26.3%
In terms of the top states/provinces in quoting orders for 2013,
New York led the way, followed by Illinois, California, Ontario,
and Pennsylvania. In 2012, the quoting leaders were Illinois,
New York, California, Pennsylvania, and Ontario—again the
same five top-performing states jostling for position. The Ohio
market shows strong promise, coming in at sixth place, with the
greatest increase in quotes, 39%, over 2012.
WarmlyYours 2013 Annual Report and Industry Outlook
As an established leader in the radiant heating industry, WarmlyYours Radiant Heating
serves as a resource to our business and trade partners. We are pleased to share with
you our 2013 annual report and industry outlook, featuring a recap of the previous
year and a look ahead at the trends and growth expected in the year to come. This
report is the first in a new series of quarterly reports from WarmlyYours to provide
insight on the state of the industry.

Performance by Product
The floor heating category, including all products in our
TempZone™
and Environ™
product lines, comprised 79% of
all 2013 sales, leading sales of all other categories with a 7.7%
increase over floor heating sales in 2012.
Our TempZone™
line, which includes the TempZone™
Custom
Mats, Easy Mats, Flex Rolls, Shower Mats and Standard Mats,
continues to be the strongest seller, comprising 81% of gross
sales within the floor heating category. The TempZone™
line
demonstrated a year-over-year increase in sales of 6.3%.
Sales are heating up with the Environ™
product line (including
Environ™
Easy Mats and Flex Rolls), which makes up 19% of
floor heating sales (up from 11% of the category in 2012) and
demonstrated a gross sales increase of 11.7% over 2012.
Our top-selling products in 2013 were the 120V TempZone™
Flex Rolls in the following sizes: 1.5’ x 12’ (18 sq. ft.), 1.5’ x 15’
(22.5 sq. ft.), and 1.5’ x 18’ (27 sq. ft.).
Industry Trends
WarmlyYours sales data indicate that floor heating rolls are
still the most popular choice for most consumers. In addition
to this perennial favorite, there is a growing interest for other
floor heating options including loose cable, an alternative for
rooms of unusual size or shape or for installers who prefer the
freedom of working with free-form cable. Research into the
European market found that installers are evenly split on their
preference for loose cable vs. cable affixed to mesh rolls and
mats. WarmlyYours predicts that the U.S. market will follow a
similar pattern, as we have already seen an increase in requests
for a loose cable product from veteran installers.

Installation Concerns
According to Scott Rosenbaum, Manager, Technical Support and Engineering, proper testing
in the field is the biggest challenge for installers. Our technical support team continues to
provide guidance on this and other issues. The availability of 24/7 installation and technical
support remains an essential need for installers in the radiant heating industry.
To further address the need for better testing in the field, the WarmlyYours engineering team is
working on an innovative new product that will make it easier for installers to test the products
before, during, and after installation to ensure proper installation and operation of the floor
heating system and compliance with warranty specifications. We expect this new product to
become available to our customers later this year.
New Products
WarmlyYours has a number of new products in the pipeline scheduled for release in 2014. The
new WarmlyYours FeelsWarm®
Countertop Heaters were launched in January. These adhesive-
backed heating elements are available for custom order and in standard sizes to gently add
warmth to natural and man-made stone countertops. Our next product announcement is
expected in early February, with several more products across product categories currently in
the development pipeline for introduction later this year.
Outlook for 2014
WarmlyYours expects to see continued strength in the market in the coming year. Following
industry expectations for home sales, construction, and remodeling markets to continue
steady growth, WarmlyYours and the radiant heating industry as a whole are projected to
see incremental growth in 2014. In addition to overall growth across categories due to the
recovering construction market, snow melting and deicing products deserve special notice.
Due to the unusually heavy snowfall and extreme cold experienced by much of the U.S. this
winter, we are predicting an increase in sales of snow melting and roof deicing systems as
winter-weary homeowners seek better options for managing snow and ice removal.
