The rising concern for energy and the environment has led consumers towards choosing long-lasting, efficient products. Warmzone has chosen to help this initiative by carrying products that offer best-in-class efficiencies to help eliminate wasteful energy consumption. As a 2008 and 2009 nominee for the Green Log Home and Lifestyle Awards for Innovative Green Building Solutions, Warmzone reaffirmed its stance on supporting products and habits that have a positive global impact on the environment.

Most homes in America are heated using gas, and most of us can’t ignore the rising costs. Lowering the thermostat to barely tolerable temperatures may be your solution, but if you have children who are blissfully ignorant about the cost of heating, they have probably been tempted once or twice to warm things up when you weren’t looking. An alternative heating to gas that is hugely popular in Europe, and one that your children are guaranteed to love, is radiant heat.

Radiant heaters, as opposed to warm air systems (such as a forced air unit heaters), deliver the source of heat to the floor level, not the ceiling. And since warm air rises, heating the floors proves to be the most efficient means of heating living areas. 

Enter a typical American home on any given cold, wintry day and you will likely see families dressed in warm, outdoor-type clothing.  One would think the family members were preparing to leave home and go sledding, ice skating or any number of activities associated with winter.  Upon closer observation, however, it becomes evident that no such excursion is planned.  Families are simply donning sweatshirts and wool socks in an effort to stay warm inside homes where thermostats are being turned lower and lower as heating bills rise higher and higher.
