Radiant heat systems

With radiant heat, the distribution of warmth is even between the floor and ceiling to maintain an ideal temperature. Like sunshine, radiant heat warms people and objects first, even before air temperatures rise.

Conventional forced-air systems use moving air to deliver heat, creating drafts and temperature swings.

Sunshine is radiant heat. And like the sun, radiant heat systems warm the people and objects in a home or business before warming room air. That makes radiant heating more comfortable for all occupants.

Radiant heat can travel in any direction and is unaffected by gravity. And with radiant heat you won't need ceiling fans to return the heat to where it's needed. It keeps the warmth where you are working or playing.

Radiant heat systems allow you to be more comfortable at a lower thermostat setting. Your body's warmth is retained because heat radiates directly from the source to the room's occupants.

Benefits

• The systems are nearly invisible with no holes for floor vents. No hot-air registers or cold-air returns disrupt walls or interfere with furniture placement.
• Radiant heat consists of long wave radiant energy, the most efficient form of heat transfer.
• Radiant heat is silent, draft-less and odor-less.
• Airborne dust, pollen, and germs that are circulated by forced air systems are reduced because blowing air is eliminated.
• Radiant heat does not affect building air pressurization such as that which occurs with systems that generate heat by fuel combustion.
• The relative humidity of indoor air is unaffected.
