Electric Radiant Heating Systems

Any electrical conductor that offers resistance to the flow of electricity generates a certain amount of heat. That amount of heat is in direct proportion to the degree of resistance. This method of generating heat is employed in radiant floor heating systems.

The conductor typically used in radiant heating systems is an electric heating cable embedded in the floors, walls, or ceilings. Those electric cables can be installed at the site (as it is the case with a new construction), or may come in the form of prewired, factory-assembled, panel-type units. The heat generated by the cables is transferred to the occupants and surfaces in the room by low-intensity radiation.

Site installed heating cables or prewired and assembled panel units are used in the following types of radiant heating systems:

- radiant ceiling panel systems;

- radiant wall panel systems;

- radiant floor panel systems.

  1. Electric radiant heat systems can be utilized in various aspects of your home or office. These systems are easy to install during a remodel or new construction of a home. They provide a unique way of heating any room, especially those rooms with cold tile or cement floors.
