Benefits of Radiant HeatRadiant Heat is more comfortable and efficient than other types of heat. When a room is heated with radiant heat, occupants feel more comfortable, even when the air temperature is cooler. The Heatizon system provides uniform heat from the floor to the ceiling, resulting in less heat-loss from the room. Forced air registers and baseboard heat strips are always located on walls below windows. These conventional systems heat air that comes in contact with the external windows and walls to temperatures much higher than the desired room temperature. The result is a less-efficient and less uniform heat. Mass Warming results in less temperature variations in the space being heated. The flooring material is heated by the element, which then evenly radiates the heat into the room. The floor surface can be maintained at a uniform temperature, thus preventing the hot and cold temperature swings that occur as other systems cycle on and off. Warming the mass of the floor results in what is called thermal capacitance. This allows the space to remain consistently warm even when extreme temperatures occur. Essentially, heat energy is stored in the mass of the floor and other objects in the room. This applies to any type of floor surface - wood, concrete, tile, etc. Efficiency of the Heatizon system is excellent. Watt for watt, it is significantly more efficient than a heat pump, forced-air furnace or baseboard heating system. An article in the July, 1996 ASHRAE Journal, titled "Radiant Heating for Thermal Comfort" reported on experimental results comparing a heat pump, baseboard heat and radiant heat. The radiant heating system consumed 33% less energy than the heat pump system and 52% less energy than the baseboard system! Reliability of the Heatizon system is unmatched. The entire system is solid-state-- there are no water lines to break or crack. The system has been proven over 20 years of service. Damaging the element is almost impossible. The Control Box allows for power failures or spikes, and automatically brings the system back on-line as quickly as possible. Comfort of radiant heat is something you need to experience. Imagine a quiet, invisible heat source that provides constant luxurious heat and doesn't blow dust and pollen particles around your home. There are no "point-source" hot spots or cold spots like there are in baseboard and forced-air systems. Convenience of installation is superior to any other system. ZMesh can be nailed or stapled through, making its installation easier than other systems. Costly and disruptive floor "build-ups" are eliminated with the use of our Tuff Cable and flat ZMesh heating element. Other than a thermostat, the system disappears from sight. Adding the system to an existing space is much easier than installing a hydronic system. Safety is a major advantage of the Heatizon system. Other electric resistance heating systems operate at 208/240 volts AC (high-voltage), whereas the Heatizon system operates at merely 30 volts AC (low-voltage). Water spilling or a nail being driven into the element is not a serious safety concern with the Heatizon system. The Heatizon system and components are ETL listed. Quiet and Clean. The Heatizon system produces no noise. There is no disturbing fan starting and stopping and there is no filter to change or clean-ever! Life-Cycle Costs are less, especially when snow melting exterior concrete surfaces. The cost to replace a driveway, sidewalk or patio is many times the cost of the Heatizon system. Typical Installations:Finishing a Basement is an excellent application for Heatizon systems. The element can be placed directly on the concrete with whatever flooring you want installed over the top. Tile, Marble, Slate, Hardwood, etc. are cold to step on with bare feet both summer and winter. The Heatizon element can be installed under these surfaces throughout the home. Never have cold floors again! Nurseries, or anywhere that babies crawl, are ideal to keep warm. Small children are always close to the floor. Heatizon systems help keep them 'toasty warm'. Driveways, Sidewalks and Porches can be kept clear of snow and ice. The cost is less than shoveling, and the concrete lasts longer because it is not subjected to abrasive salt or snow-melting chemicals. Handicap Ramps are of no value if they are not clear of snow and ice. Heatizon's reliable snow melting systems help you conform to the strict American Disability Act both day and night. Parking Ramps and Loading Docks are often sloped and difficult to clear of snow and ice. Remote Locations and Moderate Climates where electricity is the only utility available are ideal applications for installing the Heatizon system. The information shown above is only an abbreviated list of benefits and reasons why to use Heatizon's radiant heat and snow melting products.
