Radiant heat: A comfortable option

Radiant heat gives you even and comfortable heat—and stays out of the way.

A warm and comfortable heat without vents

Heat that can travel anywhere, fan-free, just like the sun—that’s radiant heat. It’s a comfortable and convenient option for heating your entire home.

Radiant heat is long-wave energy, the most efficient form of heat transfer, that can travel in any direction. And it’s unaffected by gravity—meaning there’s no need for fans to blow the warmth around. It heats the people and objects in a room before warming the air temperature, no matter what you’re doing.

This means you can stay comfortable at a lower thermostat setting. It is also silent, draft-free, and reduces the amount of airborne dust, pollen, and germs circulated by forced-air systems. In addition, radiant heat also does not reduce the humidity of the indoor air or require hot-air registers or cold-air returns that can disrupt walls or interfere with furniture placement.

With radiant heat, the distribution of warmth is even between the floor and ceiling to maintain ideal temperatures.

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