All winter long, you’ve probably been stunned by increasingly expensive energy bills. New technology in radiant heating can help you cut electricity costs. Now SunTouch ^® heating systems offer you a choice of a thermostat that is controlled by a floor sensor. This allows you to measure floor temperature and control the actual temperature in a specific room.

SunTouch radiant heating 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. When a radiant heating system is turned on, energy is forced through a conductive material to create resistance or heat. For most areas an electric line-voltage system is used. These systems use a special thermostat that has an integrated breaker for safety right at the power source. They are available in 110 or 220 voltage. Low-voltage systems use the same voltages and consume the same amount of power as line-voltage products. The main difference is the use of a step-down transformer which reduces the voltage supplied to the heating materials. Due to their safe low-voltage current (8-30v) products can be nailed and stapled down to secure the product to the floor and are therefore useful for installation under hardwood and carpet.
