What temperature is the water going to the floor? Do you have setback? What kind of floor is it (Concrete slab, Climate Panel, GypCrete? What is the surface temperature of the floor itself?

Remember too that just because the thermostat may be set at 74 F does not mean that the system is so designed to reach that.

A 67 degree room temperature may not be your desire but it seems to be working at some level.

What kind of water temperature modulation do you have? Valve? Injection? Can you adjust the supply water temperature by that means? Posting a photo may help.


If the system was setback for any length of time and is high-mass, it may take some time.

A lot of variables (and a lot of rambling by yours truly).

    increasing room temp

    I don't know how to increase the temp. Right now my thermostats are at 74 and have been that setting for two days now and yet the temp is 67, the floors are cold. I feel the pex tube and it is warm, the pumps are running yet it is still cold in the house.

    Design temp.

    Paul are you suppling the correct supply water temp. for your floors design conditions ? If you are in the North East you are probably running pretty close to desing conditions.

    Paul, some additional information , might help.

    just as you cannot make any adjustment to the thermostat to make it GO, it is difficult for any of us to make it GO without some clue as to the type of boiler you might have and the means of producing the temps for the fluid in your floor pex tubing.

    a picture of the boiler, and the piping leading in and out of the Pumps to which you refer , would be the easiest means to sort this out for you.
