Heating systems for homes and businesses are faced with an increasing number of options to consider for their primary and secondary heating. While fire places and coal burning stoves become less popular, other alternative heating methods are quickly becoming more common. Traditional furnaces as a primary heating system are now being challenged from radiant baseboards, radiant floor heating systems and even radiant ceiling heaters. Many of these new heating systems are using electricity instead of natural gas or heating oil. 

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. 

Why do car washes need radiant heat?

Radiant heating systems have gained acceptance in homes as an alternative to forced air systems. Radiant heat is typically installed under the floor and designed to transfer its heat through the floor which conveniently takes the bite out of hard surfaces like tile and marble.  Now, the same concept for interior radiant heating is being applied at higher temperatures to exterior applications as a way to remove snow and ice.

Following the trends of the indoor heating market, where radiant heating systems have been used for decades, the great outdoors is warming up, too. Radiant heat warms the floor and any object in contact with the floor to distribute an even, no-draft heat. Outdoor settings like patios or pathways leading to a hot tub can now benefit from using a traditional hydronic radiant heating system or even more intriguing is the emerging trend of embedding electric heating cables to provide that desired surface temperature. 

Heating areas such as bathroom floors with electric radiant heating cable systems from Warmzone makes the most sense.  Electric radiant heating systems are efficient, easy to install, and very cost effective.  Warmzone radiant heat systems are controlled by a thermostat with an in-floor sensor and have a very quick response time, and are maintenance free.

Making the right choice for a radiant heat system is crucial and carries serious implications to its cost and effectiveness.  Serving as an intermediary between manufacturers, contractors and consumers, Warmzone’s role is to match individual needs of a project to a heating system that makes the most sense.  We strive to match our customer’s needs with the finest radiant heating systems available.  Warmzone.com offers non-biased, individualized solutions that factor the installation, durability, performance and operational investment as the key criteria for our customers.

We at Warmzone want to be known in the radiant heat arena as the company that will do everything possible to “just make sense” of what might be a confusing array of possibilities for consumers who are seeking information on alternative heating sources.

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.  

If you are looking to warm your floors with a radiant heat system and have typed "radiant heat system" into a search engine, you might find yourself scratching your head at this point. There are dozens of products available to purchase, and there are even more companies telling you that their product is the best.

A common problem many home owners experience is uneven or insufficient heat. Most homes are built with furnaces as the primary heating source. These furnaces push heated air through ducts and vents to heat the home. Depending on your home's 'Heat Loss Calculation,' which determines the insulation qualities coupled with the size and demand in that area for heat, the temperature of any given room in a home will be different from another.
