Perhaps you weren’t aware of this, but the use of a bathroom can be responsible for a significant amount of your utility bills year-round. Bathroom heating is one such energy consideration because you want the heat quickly, but for only a short period of time. Therefore traditional forced air heating systems for a bathroom can be very inefficient, and waste a lot of energy. However, SunTouch ^® provides a solution to this in their radiant heating products. Radiant heat can make you feel comfortably warm without having to heat all the air in the bathroom.

SunTouch radiant heating provides a unique transfer of energy that naturally searches out colder objects to warm. Instead of rising like warm air, radiant heat starts by warming the coldest and closest objects from its source. This is why radiant heating systems are generally placed under floors. If you have ever strolled barefoot along the beach on a sunny day and felt the warm sand underneath your feet, or held a warm mug, then you have felt radiant heat. Objects absorb radiant heat until they are the same temperature as the heat source, after which the heat slowly escapes to other areas that are colder, such as the air, etc.

Not only will radiant heat save you in heating costs in areas like your bathrooms–which only need heat for short periods of time–but they also increase the comfort level of these rooms because they keep concentrate the heat in the areas that are generally the coolest, such as tile floors, etc. Imagine being able to step out of the shower onto a warm floor this winter. These are only a few of the benefits of a radiant heating system. To find out the other benefits of radiant heat, contact SunTouch today.

A lot of people building their homes probably don’t think there are a lot of options when it comes to home heating systems.

And you thought you were done with homework when you finished school! But the fact of the matter is that choosing the best heating systems for a new home or to add supplemental heat to a cold spot in your home takes a little homework. The consultants at SunTouch ^® can provide information on all of the latest heating systems. SunTouch can also help to properly assess your project and prescribe a system that will add value to your home while staying within your budget.

Heating a home efficiently offers many challenges. A common challenge to traditional heating systems is the inability to zone your home for specific areas of the home without heating the entire home. SunTouch heating systems can be easily designed to be independently controlled by zone which enables a home owner to increase the temperature for defined areas of the home during occupancy and conversely allows a particular zone to remain off during down times. This strategy not only saves homeowners a considerable amount of money, it gives you complete control to efficiently warm you most used living spaces without comprising cost.

Is there anything worse the crawling out of a nice warm bed and then stepping onto ice cold bathroom tile?  In my opinion, there aren’t many things worse than that.  What a great way to get your day off to a rotten start.  However, SunTouch floor warming mats provide a convenient solution to this age-old problem.  Thanks to the technology behind these floor warming mats, you can have heated floors in every room of your home.

So, how do these floor warming mats work?  Well, they draw upon the principles of radiant heat to provide a comfortable and efficient heating alternative for your home.
A good analogy for radiant floor heating to forced air is a car that has heated seats and a forced air heater/furnace. The forced air in a car can dry you out and can become uncomfortable and is difficult to dial in because of the heat loss due to its air delivery.

A heated seat will provide you with quick results and will remain warm long after it is reduced or turned completely off. The heated seat actually warms your body and the car seat, not the air. Forced air will over time will inefficiently heat objects but with the negative side effects of dry air, dust and pollen.

If you’re remodeling, or building a new home, you should checkout the line of SunTouch floor warming mats.

Here’s the deal: evenly distributed radiant heat via floor warming mats installed in your floors will allow you to turn down your thermostat two to four degrees. This can reduce energy costs by 10-40% and can be verified with your local utility company. This setback to your thermostat can happen because a radiant floor heats from the ground up and delivers the heat through objects not air. This makes the lowest three feet of your home the most comfortable where a forced air system loses its heat to the ceiling and is required to heat from the top down. Delivering heat by air also makes it easy to escape and increase your overall heat loss.

Only a handful of months until winter is here again, and many homeowners are dreading high heating bills similar to the bills they received last winter. This winter, however, there’s still time to make changes to your home heating which can help you cut electricity costs. New radiant floor heating systems by SunTouch ^® can offer you a choice of a thermostat that is controlled by a floor sensor. This allows you to measure floor temperature or with an ambient control, which allows you to monitor and control the actual temperature in a specific room. SunTouch radiant heating mats can be used and controlled as a primary source of heat or used as a supplemental heating source to add comfort to your living spaces.

You might not know that using floor warming mats to heat the home can have a huge impact on both efficiency and health benefits.

Efficiency. Radiant heaters are also on of the most efficient form of heat available. Significantly less operating time is required to maintain the desired warmth compared to furnaces and other methods of heating keeping operational costs to a minimum. High efficiency boilers or electric radiant floor systems makes radiant heat one of your most efficient ways to heat your home. Coupled with a well insulated home these systems can quickly warm your home and then shut down or wait idle for long periods of time before being called upon by the thermostat to operate.

Health Benefits. Floor warming mats, which provide radiant heat, improve the air quality, this is especially important for anyone who suffers from either dust allergies or asthma. Floor heating provides ample heat alleviating a breeding ground for germs to multiply not to mention the added benefit of not having change filters or clean heat ducts.

Many health experts also claim that floor heating via floor warming mats can help in eliminating dust mites that live in our homes, and since dust mites love a warm moist environment, towel heaters aid in maintaining a consistent room temperature and keep it moisture free.

Furthermore, mold and mildew are also caused from excessive moisture especially in bathrooms with insufficient ventilation.By placing radiant heaters or a radiant heat towel rack in the bathroom you can combat the spread of germs for only pennies a day.

Every year for my birthday my aunt sends me a new pair of slippers. This year, I’m struggling with a way to tell her not to send the slippers, because I simply no longer need them. This is because we’ve installed radiant floor heating in our new home and won’t be need slippers to keep our feet warm this winter.

A comparison of heating by way of floor warming mats to that of forced air is a car that has heated seats verses a forced air heater/furnace. The forced air in a car can dry you out and can become uncomfortable and is difficult to dial in because of the heat loss due to its air delivery. However, heated seat will provide you with quick results and will remain warm long after it is reduced or turned completely off. The heated seat actually warms your body and the car seat, not the air. Forced air, over time, will inefficiently heat objects but with the negative side effects of dry air, dust and pollen, not to mention that hot air rises quickly and can easily escape from your home.

The silent operation of your warm floors, which are free from drafts or flying dust particles, is why these systems are becoming so popular. Many homeowners are searching for ways in which they can create a more comfortable, efficient, and healthier atmosphere in their homes. Floor warming mats accomplish each of these goals.

You may not know that floor warming mats are one of the most comfortable ways to heat your home. As opposed to forced air heating, which heats the air, floor warming mats heat objects, namely your floor. This increases the level of comfort in your home because the heat is distributed at the floor level where we are usually cold, and gets cooler toward our head area, which is usually too hot. Because floor warming mats distribute the heat in this manner, the comfort level of your home is increased, thus no more cold feet!

Another benefit of floor warming mats is that they can be used for nearly any floor area. Areas such as concrete, tile, hardwood, carpet, and even linoleum can all benefit from floor warming mats. Even if you live in an existing home floor warming products can be retrofitted, in most cases, to your existing floors.

Whether you’re building a new home or remodeling an existing home, you’ll find that floor warming mats provide a great, efficient way to add comfort and efficiency to the rooms in your home that are traditionally hard to heat.
