Climastar Wall-Mount Heaters

June 08, 2010 00:06 AM  BY  BENSON RICKS

Attractive Alternative Heat Sources

In this day and age of shrinking dollars and smaller family sizes, heating the whole house just doesn't make sense any more. Climastar heating has just the solution to providing efficient localized heat to any room in the house. Wall heaters that are both efficient and decorative will solve the problem of warming the room that needs a little more heat, without requiring you to turn the whole heating system up.

Most of us have a room where we spend most of our time, whether it’s to work or relax. If your favorite room seems to be a little cooler than you would like, there's no better solution than to turn to Climastar for an efficient, attractive wall-mounted heater. It would be far more efficient to heat your little corner than to increase the heat to the whole house.

On average, Climastar heaters consume one hour of power for every four hours of operation. It’s easy to see that they can be a money saver. One could make the argument that heating the rooms you use the most and leaving the main furnace turned down low would result in a significant decrease in your monthly heating bill. And with Climastar's decorative heater facades, you'll look good in the process.

Energy efficient heat in the form of radiant wall-mount heaters of different forms and sizes are just the ticket for the job.

Bathroom heaters are clad in decorative facades and will add to the décor of any room. And the Climastar heaters also feature towel warmers, so you can step out of the shower and into a warm towel.

Try a Wall Mount Heater for a Low Cost Heating Solution

It’s true. Times are tight. We are all tightening our wallets and keeping a close eye on our bank accounts. Generations who were once used to living high on the hog, are now figuring out how to raise those same hogs to feed their families. Many of us are spending more time in our homes and are finding ways to make do or do without. One thing we are not willing to scrimp on is home heating. Despite smaller wallets, keeping food on our tables and heat in our homes during the cold winter months is something we are still willing to spend money on. However, finding ways to save money and be efficient in our home heating is still a top priority.

In some homes there are rooms and spaces that seem to always be colder or have a constant draft, making efficient home heating more of a challenge. A simple and affordable home heating accessory that remedies this problem is the purchase of a wall-mount heater. Replacing old furnaces or out-of-date heating systems may be cost prohibitive right now, yet a wall-mount ECO-heater or stylish Climastar heater is a low cost alternative solution to warming problem areas. Homeowners may also find savings simply by heating only the rooms in use or the rooms used most frequently. Installing a wall-mount heater may be the only home heating accessory you can afford this year but will go a long way in maintaining proper home heating without breaking the bank.

Snow Melting Made Easy

April 28, 2009 00:04 AM  BY  BENSON RICKS

Driveway Snow Melting Made Easy

With spring approaching you might not think too much about installing an electric heated driveway system. As is very often the case however, now just may be the best time to make such a move. Contractors are not swamped before the onslaught of cold weather. Their availability for such projects and less demand for materials mean a better deal for you.

If you haven’t heard or aren’t familiar, driveway snow melting systems are the modern convenience to have in snow country. In fact, even if you are well informed, electric heated driveways are still the ticket. You'll love it when you drive right up that steep driveway without incident where you used to have to get a running start or do much shoveling first.

Radiant snowmelt systems can be installed in new construction jobs or even in existing asphalt driveways. To retrofit your asphalt driveway, a grid of radiant heat cable is installed over your existing driveway and then a finish layer of asphalt is applied over that.

A sensor automatically signals the control panel to activate the system whenever snow conditions are detected. That white stuff may pile up in your yard and on the road, but not in your driveway. Clearing your driveway doesn’t get any easier than that. The snow melting system operates on the same principle that radiant floors utilize in radiant floor heating applications. And believe it or not, such a system is not that involved of a project, so don’t be intimidated; and more importantly, don’t put it off for one more year. Take advantage of the conveniences – and spring prices – offered to us these days.

What Kind of Radiant Heaters are Best for Your Home?

December 28, 2008 00:12 AM  BY  STACEY BARRUS

Are you having a hard time deciding which radiant heat system is right for you?  We know, it sometimes can be hard to narrow down what kind of radiant heaters to install. There are dozens of products available to purchase, and there are even more companies telling you that their product is the best.

For many homeowners, electric cable heating systems, often called line- or high-voltage systems, are gaining popularity and are ideal for heating smaller areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and sun rooms. These systems are comprised of a thermostat and a heating cable. These radiant heater systems are oftentimes less expensive, and give the ability to customize a layout that will heat every square inch of your floor.

Every available radiant heater cable system is equally effective, so when determining which system to purchase, you should look at the warranty of the product, along with the ease of installation. Some cables must be embedded in a separate layer of concrete or mortar, whereas other systems can simply be installed in the thinset. Most radiant heater cable systems can only be installed under tile. However, on others, if the cable is embedded in mortar or concrete, any flooring can be installed on top of the concrete.

Radiant Heaters Tip: When heating smaller areas, it is nearly impossible to beat the simplicity and price of an electric cable radiant heating system.

Which Radiant Heating System Should You Choose?

December 28, 2008 00:12 AM  BY  STACEY BARRUS

If you are looking to warm your floors with radiant heaters and are trying to research what kind of radiant heaters to install 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.

So which product is the best? Should you install a hydronic heating system that pumps hot water through your floors, an electric cable heating system, or a low-voltage screen system? The answer lies in the type of project you are doing. Not every system is ideal for every project, but there is an ideal system for every project.

Hydronic Heating Systems   

Hydronic floor heating is the oldest and most popular type of radiant floor heating. These systems are comprised of a boiler or hot water heater, pumps, manifolds, PEX tubing, thermostat, and either gypcrete (a concrete-like material) or wood panels. Hydronic heating is the most complex of all radiant heat systems. These systems require trained professionals to design and perform the installation. Your best economies of scale are achieved for hydronic systems in large areas or entire homes because of their expensive components and operational costs.  Hydronic systems can be installed under any type of flooring. Most hydronic systems require hot water tubing to be installed in a 2-4″ bed of light concrete and are best installed during the initial construction because of its weight load demands and adjustments to floor height. Recent low-mass products have been developed to avoid these challenges by fitting the tubing into pre-cut wood panels, making hydronic systems more convenient and possible for most major remodeling projects.

 If you want to heat smaller areas like a bathroom or kitchen, a hydronic floor heating system may not be the best value for your project. The complexity and cost of installing the system, along with the long-term maintenance and up-keep required, is not worth the small amount you will save in operational costs.

Electric Cable Heating

Electric cable heating systems, often called line- or high-voltage systems, are gaining popularity and are ideal for heating smaller areas (10-300 square feet) like bathrooms, kitchens, and sun rooms. These systems are comprised of a thermostat and a heating cable. On some systems, the cable will be shipped to you as a large spool of cable. These systems are oftentimes less expensive, and give you the ability to space the cable how you want and customize a layout that will heat every square inch of your floor. Other systems have the cable attached to a plastic mesh or tape to create a mat to maintain its proper spacing.

Every available cable system is equally effective, so when determining which system to purchase, you should look at the warranty of the product, along with the ease of installation. Some cables must be embedded in a separate layer of concrete or mortar, whereas other systems can simply be installed in the thinset. Most cable systems can only be installed under tile. However, on others, if the cable is embedded in mortar or concrete, any flooring can be installed on top of the concrete. When heating smaller areas, it is nearly impossible to beat the simplicity and price of an electric cable heating system.

Treat Yourself to Heat

December 27, 2008 00:12 AM  BY  STACEY BARRUS

Time to treat yourself! Whether you’re building a new home, or updating your current home, you owe it to yourself to check out the comfort that radiant heat has to offer. Now is the perfect time to look into your heating options. Radiant heaters can be used in a number of applications, including some that might surprise you!Among those spots that can use radiant heaters are tiled areas, hardwood flooring, carpeted areas, and even cement floors.

Not only is radiant heating is one of the most comfortable ways to heat your home, but radiant heaters also offer a diversity of applications. We’d be willing to bet that after that first winter with the radiant heaters in place, you may find yourself wondering how you ever got along without them in the past.

What’s interesting here is that, rather than warming the air, radiant heaters are a type of heater that warms objects. Radiant heat uses objects, such as the floor, to heat a home. The air in the room is warmed when it comes into contact with the warmed objects. Heat loss is reduced and the radiant heat remains in the lower part of the room, warmer near feet level and slightly less so at head level, creating the perfect climate for comfort.

Radiant Heaters Tip: Are you looking for efficient, comfortable heat for your home? We think that radiant heating could be just the solution you’ve been looking for.

Treat Yourself to a Warm Home

December 27, 2008 00:12 AM  BY  STACEY BARRUS

When the first day of winter arrived over the weekend, it brought along cold weather and the potential for incredibly high heating bills. Installing radiant heaters in a home under construction or in an existing home is proven to cut heating costs. It works by putting water lines in the home’s concrete floors or under existing floors and running hot water through them.

Radiant heaters help to keep the whole house at a more constant temperature. In this way, our regular heaters don’t have to do as much to keep things warm and toasty during the winter. It might take a little effort, but being more environmentally friendly doesn’t have to involve major renovations. Many people waste a lot of energy by not sealing cracks, doors and windows. Checking to make sure a home’s insulation is in good shape and replacing it if it’s not is another good way to stop energy waste.

Switching to radiant heaters will not only help save energy, and lower heating costs, but you’ll soon find that it really adds to your family’s comfort as well. That is because it put the heat at our feet, which are generally cold, and offers cooler air near head level, where we are generally a little warmer.

Radiant Heaters Tip: If you are looking for a great way to save energy and maximize comfort in your home at the same time, then radiant heaters may be the perfect solution for you.
