Nothing else can compare to the extraordinary comfort offered through in-floor electric radiant heat. Combined with the proper cooling system, electric radiant floor heat offers the most efficient and comfortable living conditions available in any climate.

One major plus to electric radiant heat is amazing comfort. Doesn’t seem important to you? Well, have you ever noticed during the winter how your feet can be icy cold, while you’re upper body and head are sweating? This is because traditional forced air heating puts the heat in the air, which rises to our head level. This leaves the air at our feet cold, and the air at our head hot. This is really not optimal, because our upper body and head areas are generally hot due to the fact that this is where the majority of our body heat escapes. Having electric radiant heat in the floor increases our comfort by bringing the heat to our feet, which leaves the air at head level cooler. This scenario creates the perfect level of comfort.

Electric radiant heat is a unique transfer of energy that naturally searches out colder objects to warm. Instead of rising like warm air, radiant heat starts by warming the coldest and closest objects from its source. This is why radiant heating systems are generally placed under floors – either during construction or even later during a remodeling.

Electric Radiant Heat Tip: Your radiant system could use up to 30% less fuel than the average new forced air heating system.
