Like the sun, radiant heat warms objects directly with longwave electromagnetic energy. Radiant heating diffuses energy heat rays in a 160 degree arc, distributing warmth evenly, so that there is not more than 2 degrees difference between floor level and ceiling level.
Radiant heat warms a room sooner and at lower temperature settings than other kinds of heat.
Every installation of electric radiant heat is as different as the building structure it is installed in. On the above linked page you will find some important information we need to know about your intended installation before we can recommend any specific number or combination of units for your use. We have available by e-mail a summary of a recent study of the cost effectiveness of a typical electric radiant heat installation.
