true emf output for radiant floors - thermosoft/suntouch

Hello,

First time poster, long time lurker here.

My wife and I are doing a remodel of our master bathroom and would like to add radiant floor heating. For better or worse, we are a bit paranoid about EMF's.

Thermosoft and SunTouch seem to be the most used, zero/low EMF manufacturers. We'd like to go with a mat product.

Thermosoft claims "zero" EMF, though some have found that hard to believe. SunTouch claims something slightly more fuzzy. .13x the average daily exposure (which they list as 1mG). Not sure if that means they say they output .13mG, but that's what we assume they are saying.

It's unclear to us what the true and actual EMF output is for these products on a finished floor.

Has anyone actually measured either product with an EMF reader? We would love to know what the true readings are on a finished floor (magnetic and electrical fields).

Also of major importance is a product that will not stop working after a few years. Has anyone had the mats (or in SunTouch's case, even just the WarmWire cables) installed for 5 years or more?

Thanks!
-James
