Energy and cost efficiency
Research indicates that people feel more comfortable at lower temperatures with radiant heating and therefore the thermostat temperature can be turned down by as much as 6ºC without compromising comfort. ‘A reduction in temperature of 1ºC can save as much as 8% on your heating bill’, The Carbon Trust. Therefore, the potential savings when using radiant heat are evident.
Comfortable
In conventionally heated rooms, because hot air rises, the upper third of the room space is the hottest, creating the warm head cold feet experience. With radiant heat the room temperature is less stratified and therefore more comfortable.
Flexible
Radiant heat is ideal for all areas of the home, especially where rooms have high ceilings, large air change rates or poor insulation. Energy use can be controlled according to individual area use or requirements.
Healthy
Standard convection heating systems blow out excessive hot air which disturbes dust and germs and circulates them around the room; but the situation is dramatically reduced when using radiant heating. Where spread of infection is a serious concern or a clean environment for allergy sufferers is a priority, the use of Cosystone radiant heating is part of an effective solution. |
