A lot of people are indecisive when it comes to choosing a particular heating apparatus for their homes. But, if they look closer at radiant heaters, they’ll see that this type of heater is the only choice for them. Here’s why.
1. It’s very efficient
When it comes to spreading the warmth, radiant heating is the most efficient because of how heat is transferred from the apparatus to the room. According to experts, radiant heating warms up a room through electric wires or hot-water tubes and that the heat comes from the floor, going up.
What makes radiant heating much better than, say, a radiator is that the former doesn’t have cold spots. A radiator, on the other hand, often has because the heat only comes from one area of the room where the system is located. With radiant heating, your whole floor will be heated and this heat travels upwards, filling up the room.
So, even if you walk around, you’ll see that there are no areas where it’s a bit colder than the rest. This also makes it cost-effective because you won’t have to amp the heat of your radiant heater just to keep your room warm and comfortable.
2. It’s hypoallergenic
Some people wouldn’t consider this feature in their heaters, but they might think twice if they start coughing and itching when air-forced heaters spread allergens to every room. Air-forced heaters warm up your house by blowing hot air, which can be risky if you or any member of your family is severely allergic to dust and other allergens.
With radiant heaters, you won’t have to worry about spreading allergens throughout your house because this apparatus uses hot-water tubes or electric wires to spread the heat. It doesn’t blow hot air throughout your house, so it won’t blow allergens to every room as well.
3. It gives you more space
Another advantage of radiant heaters is that you have more space in all of your rooms because the heaters are all under your floors. If you have a radiator, there’s one area of your room, oftentimes near the window, where it can get cramped because of your apparatus.
If you have radiant heaters, not only will you be able to have more space in your house, but it can also be easier to remodel your home because you don’t have to worry about a clunky apparatus ruining the look of your interiors.
4. It’s quiet and convenient
Unlike other house heaters, the radiant heating system is quiet. You won’t have to hear air vents squeaking or motors groaning when you switch it on. You also get to choose the kind of energy source. You can use any of the following: solar water heaters, wood-fired, gas, or oil boilers. And if you wish to be more eco-friendly, you can stick to solar-powered radiant heaters.
Radiant heaters are much better than any other house heating systems. They’re convenient, quiet, economical, and even eco-friendly. They have so many advantages over other heating systems you’ll run out of excuses not to try them.
