If you are a builder, contractor, or a do-it-yourself person, you are probably considering options for green energy for heating applications. There are some green systems out there such as geothermal and hot water radiant heating, but they can be quite expensive with a complex installation. They are especially expensive if you only want to add heating to certain areas of a home or business.
Electric radiant infrared heat is a perfect solution for residential and commercial/industrial heating applications. If you want to add heating to an area in a warehouse or workstation to keep employees warm where they stand to do most of their tasks, a spot heating application using such a unit is a perfect choice. The unit would be a quartz tube radiant heater with a 60 degree reflective pattern mounted approximately 8 feet above the work area.
If you wanted to add heat to a home addition without buying a new larger furnace or inefficient baseboards a perfect solution would be a 1500 watt ceramic coated steel element made in a housing exclusively for residential use. Depending on the square footage of the addition or three-season room these units can be piggy-backed together and/or zoned on a thermostat or other power source. These units are a primary heat source for that space. No need to replace a perfectly good furnace or pay for additional tin work to run ducts between the walls.
What makes these units a green energy solution is that they do not consume natural gas. I understand that coal is consumed at the electric plant to generate the electricity that powers these units in the home. That is true. But that combustion occurs at a coal plant. Coal plants are undergoing constant regulation to be cleaner and more efficient.
There are also green technology power plants delivering clean power to homes and businesses. If those homes and businesses use electric radiant infrared technology you will have green power plants providing green energy to green heating technology.
Much like a furnace or HVAC system, these units are a capital improvement. Once installed the housings can last the lifetime of the structure and the elements can last 5 years, 10 years, even decades. These units are low maintenance; no moving parts, no air flow to kick up dust and dander, nothing to take apart and clean or service, just an occasional wipe down.
This type of heat is efficient in heating people first, objects second, and then the ambient air. Within minutes these units are at full power and anyone near them immediately feels the warmth. At the same time everything in the area of the unit begins to absorb the heat, and then re-radiate that heat which heats the ambient air in the room. And because the furniture, floor, and other objects are giving off absorbed warmth and energy, the recovery time to re-heat the room after a door or window has been opened is very short. This fast recovery saves energy, and energy cost money, so it is as much a money saver as it is a natural resource saver.
Heating Unit applications include:
Need to heat some work spaces to keep employees warm?
Need to melt snow and ice at your loading dock or around your facility?
Need to add illumination to that snow melt application?
Need to heat a foyer or entry way in your business?
Want to greet your employees or customers with great warmth as they enter your business?
Want to heat your deck or patio at your home or business?
Want to add heat to your shed, work space, or garage.
Want to use that three-season room in the winter?
Need to heat an addition?
Know a senior citizen who is always cold and needs more heat?
Need to heat patients and keep them warm in a hospital, nursing home, or medical facility?
Got smokers? Need to heat the designated smoking area?
Do your customers smoke? Want to keep them happy when they smoke outside?
Need a heat barrier to protect from a draft?
These heating units can solve all of these issues without the energy expense of natural gas or oil.
