The Battle You’re Sure to Never Lose

Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes warmer weather. While we’d all like to see the sun again, we don’t want those pesky ice dams to form on our roofs that can quickly turn a delightful spring into an expensive season of our discontent. Fortunately for all of us, radiant roof heat is here to keep our upcoming months pleasant and ice-dam-disaster free.

Ice dams are a common problem that often lead to catastrophic solutions. The good news, however, is that radiant roof heating systems are an easy and affordable option to prevent ice dams before they even start.

Ice dams occur when warmer weather or interior heat warms the heavy snowfall on your roof, leaving a pool of water under the feet of snow that quickly accumulates and starts leaking into your home.  Besides causing catastrophic water damage, these ice dams can also destroy your gutters, promote toxic mold growth, and potentially cause structural damage that’s sure to leave you with a headache. With so much on the line, it only makes sense to install a radiant roof heating system.

Radiant roof heat is the best way to stay ahead in the battle against ice dams. Warmzone offers a variety of roof heating solutions that are sure to keep your home safe from structural damage and your family safe from dangerous icicles. You can experience the benefits of a radiant roof heating system no matter what type of home you have—new or old. Additionally, our team will work with you to create a roof heating solution that’s catered specifically to you.

Don’t wait for the dam to break—install a radiant roof heating system now before it’s too late!

Kiss the Dust and Allergens Goodbye and say Hello to Clean, Efficient Heat

It may still be blustery outside, but spring is just around the corner, and you know what that means—spring cleaning! Of course, keeping your home warm and dust free might be difficult if you’ve still got an old forced air heating system, so what better time than now to make the switch to electric radiant floor heat?

Forced air heating systems do just that—force air, but more often than not, a slew of allergens come out with it, including harmful dust and pollen. Additionally, forced air heating systems aren’t exactly safe. Carbon monoxide leaks and fires are always on the minds of those with forced air heating. With the dust, dirt, and danger of forced air, it’s easy to see why consumers are flocking to the comfort and convenience of heated floors.

Radiant floor heating systems are a whole new echelon of home heating that leaves forced air heating in the dust. Radiant floor heat is the most effective way to heat your home. Rather than heating the air in the room, like forced air heating, radiant floor heating systems heat the floor and the surrounding objects, creating a perfectly even, perfectly luxurious heat. Additionally, heated floors take a lot less time than forced air heaters to heat your home, saving you money and also the environment’s resources.

So this year as you start your annual spring cleaning duties, don’t settle for the dusty old forced air heater. Say goodbye to allergen issues and carbon monoxide scares once and for all and make the switch to radiant floor heating. Once you experience the unparalleled warmth, comfort, and affordability of heated floors, you’ll never go back.

Two Ways Radiant Heat Warms Your Home and Keeps you Cozy.

Radiant heat seems to be the new buzz word for new construction these days. New homes all over the place now come equipped with heated floors and radiant heated driveways. But what exactly is radiant heat? And what does it mean to you?

Radiant heat is the latest and greatest in home heating. Thousands of Americans are already reaping its numerous benefits and will never turn back after experiencing its perfectly even heat and comfort. Radiant heat warms you in two different ways: conduction and convection.

Conduction
Heat naturally goes from hot surfaces to cold surfaces to equalize temperature differences. The whole idea behind radiant heating is that the heat rises directly from the source and transfers to your body and other objects in the room, creating a cozy, even heat. It feels just like sitting in the sun on a pleasantly warm spring day or putting your hands around a warm cup of hot cocoa.

Convection
Radiant heated floors also use convection to heat your home. Heated floors start to heat the air in the room, causing it to rise and create that cozy ambience conventional heating systems only wish they could create. Forced air systems cause more movement in the room’s air, meaning it warms quickly and then rises to the ceiling where nobody can use it. With convection, warm air sits right in the room, keeping you and your family at the perfect temperature.

So there you have it—radiant heat at its simplest. Now that you know how it heats you, it’s high time you installed a radiant floor heating system in your home and put it to the test.

Warm and Psychologically Sound

Everyone loves heated floors. They’re delightfully cozy, efficient, and affordable, but is it just a luxury? Not in the least. You may not know it, but keeping your home warm not only keeps you cozy, but it may also keep you sane. That’s right; a warm a home has a number of psychological benefits that you may not know about, and what better way to keep your home warm than radiant floor heating?

Heat offers a number of psychological benefits. By keeping your home warm with heated floors, you stimulate your thermo-receptors, the receptors in your brain that respond to heat and cold. This helps block pain signals to your brain, reducing discomfort and temporarily increasing local blood circulation. With no pain and better circulation, you’re sure to be happier and healthier this winter—and all you had to do was install a radiant floor heating system in your home.

So radiant heated floors keep you happy, but do they also keep your wallet healthy? Absolutely. Radiant floor heat is one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to heat your home. Heat rises evenly, heating the air around the room instead of rising to the top where nobody can feel it. Additionally, radiant floor heating systems come equipped with a timer that allows you to control when and where your heated floors switch on.

With so many benefits, you’d be crazy not to install electric radiant floor heat. Act now and ensure your sanity this winter. Less pain, happy brain, and a safe and healthy family this winter. What more could you want?

The Battle That the Pointy Menaces Will Never Win.

Icicles are a mainstay of the winter season. You can’t go anywhere in the cold winter months without seeing those frosty spectacles dangling precariously from gutters and roofs everywhere. They may seem harmless—maybe even iconic to the season—but icicles also pose a serious safety hazard for home and business owners everywhere. Luckily for you, radiant roof heat is here to eradicate these icy menaces.

In 2007, an Eerie man was knocking icicles off his roof when one went rogue, pierced his rubber boot, and lodged itself in his foot. Crazy? Yes. Rare? Definitely. But it can happen.

If they’re not falling from great heights and piercing your feet, then icicles are wreaking havoc on your roof. Icicles lead to ice dams, which melt and then refreeze, getting bigger and bigger every time. When these dams melt, they can back into your attic, causing disastrous water damage. Ice dams can also get heavy, causing all kinds of strain on your gutters, drains, and downspouts.

Yes, icicles are a major bummer, but Warmzone’s roof heating options will help you and your home stay safe and icicle-free for years to come. Radiant roof heating is the latest and greatest way to prevent icicles and ice dams safely and efficiently. Fully-automated, radiant roof heating systems melt the snow on your roof quickly and efficiently with absolutely no effort from you. And the best part, staying ice dam-free can cost you less than $0.35 an hour for a 300-square-foot area.

So don’t chance a hole in your foot, a destroyed gutter, or thousands of dollars in water damage. Install your radiant roof heating system and banish those pesky icicles from your rooftop once and for all!

Weighing in on the Safety Benefits of Radiant Floor Heating

Radiant floor heating is more than just the perfect way to heat your home—it’s also the safest. Other heating methods like space heaters and furnaces come with a slew of health and safety hazards. Radiant floor heating systems, on the other hand, offer nothing but easy, green, and affordable comfort for you and your family.

Space heaters might seem like a good idea, but in reality, they’re a disaster waiting to happen. According to nfpa.org, space heaters, space heaters accounted for 30 percent of home heating fires and 73 percent of home heating fire deaths in 2006.

Furnaces aren’t much better. They may be the most conventional home-heating method, but they’re more than just loud and unsightly—they’re a huge safety hazard. Furnaces use carbon monoxide, which can be deadly for you and your family should there be a leak. Additionally, the vents used in conventional heating methods are a breeding ground for dust and allergens that you pump through your home every time you turn on the heat.

Radiant floor heat, however, poses none of the same threats listed above. In fact, they have nothing to offer except huge health benefits. Floor heating systems use radiant heat, meaning that radiates from the heat cable and warmth throughout the room is created by warming up objects that warm the air. This method not only gives you consistent heat throughout your home but also eliminates the need for those allergen-ridden vents conventional heating systems love so much.

Radiant floor heating systems use no carbon monoxide, meaning you can rest assured knowing that you and your family are safe. Lastly, radiant floor heat cables are designed to prevent fire hazards. Unlike space heaters that tip over easily, radiant floor heat is placed under the floor using state-of-the-art heating cables that are designed to keep your family safe from fires.

Don’t put your family’s safety on the line. Install an energy-efficient radiant floor heating system in your home today and ensure your peace of mind.
