4.2 Heatwave® Cable Selection
The Heatwave® Heating Cable comes in pre-established lengths that have been
designed to deliver a specified watt density. To ensure that the Heatwave® Heating
Element length purchased is the correct size for the project, complete this simple
worksheet prior to beginning the installation process.

Calculate Square Footage to be Heated.
Determine the square footage of the area to
be warmed. Note: this is not necessarily the
same as the room dimensions. Enter the total
square footage on line A.
Determine Watts Per Square Foot.
Determine the Watts per square foot for the
application. Heatizon Systems suggests the
following Watts per square foot:
• Floor Warming—8 to 15 Watts per square
foot
• Space Heating—Watts per square foot
and spacing between element runs should
be determined by a heat loss calculation.
Contact Heatizon Systems for information on
how to obtain a heat loss calculation. Enter the
desired total Watts per square foot on Line B.
Calculate Total Watts. Calculate total Watts
by multiplying Line A by Line B, and enter the
result on Line C.
Determine Input Voltage. Determine if the
Heatwave® Heating Cable will be powered
by 120VAC or 240VAC, and check the correct
input voltage on Line D.
Select the Correct Heatwave® Heating Cable Length. Use the table (pg 12) to select
the Heatwave® Heating Cable Model that is the correct input Voltage from line D, and
will deliver the closest total watts calculated on Line C. Heatizon Systems recommends
selecting the next larger Heatwave® Heating Cable Length if the total Watts calculated
in Step 3 is between two models. Select the model number, and write the corresponding
Element “Cable Length” on Line E.
Calculate Element Spacing. Calculate the amount of space between the runs of
element for the application and the Heatwave® Heating Element.
