A New Level of Comfort

November 25, 2008 00:11 AM  BY  STUART TAYLOR

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.
