Stay Warm This Winter With Radiant Ceiling Heat
An electric radiant ceiling heat panel can provide any space with heating an affordable price.
The energy consumption of ceiling panels is far less than that of an electric baseboard system.
Costing in price anywhere from $200 to $500, panels are lightweight and can be installed on the surface, flush or suspended on virtually any ceiling.
They can be inconspicuous or treated as an architectural feature.
Radiant ceiling heat works by thermal radiation, or radiant heat.
Working the same way as the sun during the day, heat is emitted from the panels and transferred to the objects below.
By absorbing the heat directly there is no need for blowers, exposed elements or open flame, making radiant heating panels very safe.
A room heated with radiant ceiling heat can be warmed and cooled quickly.
Panels heat up very quickly when turned on.
By using panels placed throughout the home with thermostats for each, different heat zones can be created.
This gives you greater control of where and when you need heat thus lowering the amount of energy wasted heating unused areas.
The temperature of the air and surrounding surfaces in a room affect thermal comfort.
Thermal comfort is basically how comfortable you feel in a room.
The room could be at an optimal temperature, but in winter you could feel chilled from being close to a window or doorway.
A ceiling panel which heats objects and surfaces will help maintain comfort even if the air temperature is lower.
Radiant ceiling heat panels are usually made up of fiberglass insulation board, a heating element and a textured surface coating, frame mounted.
About an inch thick, panels vary in size between 1' x 2' and 4' x 8'.
When it comes to installing heating systems you could do on your own, but it is recommended to hire a qualified installer.
The advantage is that in many cases you will be hiring a professional who knows how to install the panels, but is also an expert in heating and cooling in the home, providing advice on the best locations for installation.
