Energy Efficient Radiant Floor Heating from Devex Systems

Radiant Floor Heating:
The Economical and Efficient Way of Heating Your Home

There's no question that the heating system you choose for your home will be a long term investment, so it's important to find a product that enhances the quality and comfort of your home and doesn't take away from it. There are not many heating solutions that efficiently heat a room from the ground up. Most products only heat the air, increasing the likelihood of heat loss and causing energy bills to be higher than necessary. But thanks to the science of radiant heat, floor heating warms people and objects - not the air. This makes floor heating a much more efficient heating option and a safe bet for a gentle, lasting and uniform heat distribution across your entire floor surface. They won't dry the air or circulate unwanted dust and allergens and are completely and utterly silent!

Traditional forms of heating like conventional radiators and forced air systems can be inefficient due to the immediate heat loss that occurs as the heat cools to meet the existing air temperature. These systems do not distribute heat evenly throughout the room because the heat is usually released from a point location as opposed to uniformly throughout your floor surface, making it more challenging to reach a desired level of comfort for an extended period of time.

Floor heating hinges upon the idea of invisible heat, meaning that heat can be felt not seen - so you can do away with any free standing heaters or vents that are an eye sore to your home and add unwanted clutter to your living space. Given that hot air rises, floor heating will heat the room from the ground up - a popular feature for those that tend to have cold feet and a great way to ensure comfortable, lasting warmth. This form of heating continues to grow in popularity in many parts of Australia thanks to the temperate climate in the mid to south-east and south-west parts of the country.
