For homeowners or
renovators, it’s worth taking a look at several kinds
of radiant heaters for residences or
businesses. Today we’ll discuss the electric
cable heating system kind of radiant heaters.
Electric cable heating systems, often called
line- or high-voltage systems, are gaining popularity
and are ideal for heating smaller areas like
bathrooms, kitchens, and sun rooms. These systems are
comprised of a thermostat and a heating cable. On some
radiant
heater systems, the cable will be shipped to
you as a large spool of cable. These systems are
oftentimes less expensive, and give you the ability to
space the cable how you want and customize a layout that
will heat every square inch of your floor. Other
systems have the cable attached to a plastic mesh or
tape to create a mat to maintain its proper spacing.
Every available radiant heater cable system is
equally effective, so when determining which system to
purchase, you should look at the warranty of the
product, along with the ease of installation. Some cables
must be embedded in a separate layer of concrete or
mortar, whereas other systems can simply be installed
in the thinset.
Most cable systems can only be installed under
tile; on others, if the cable is embedded in mortar or
concrete, any flooring can be installed on top of the concrete.
Radiant Heaters
Tip: When heating smaller areas with a radiant
heater, it is nearly impossible to beat the simplicity
and price of an electric cable heating system.

You may not know that radiant
heaters for your home or business come in a variety
of forms – all efficient and providing
reliable, cozy warmth. Today we’re going to
discuss one form of radiant heaters: hydronic floor
heating.
Quite a name, isn’t it?
Hydronic floor heating is the oldest and most
popular type of radiant floor heating. These systems are
comprised of a boiler or hot water heater,
pumps, manifolds, PEX tubing, thermostat, and
either gypcrete (a concrete-like material) or wood
panels. Hydronic heating is the most complex of
all radiant
heat systems. These systems require trained
professionals to design and perform the
installation. Your best economies of scale are achieved
for hydronic systems in large areas or entire homes
because of their expensive components and
operational costs. Hydronic systems can be
installed under any type of flooring. Most hydronic
systems require hot water tubing to be installed
in a 2-4″ bed of light concrete and are
best installed during the initial construction because
of its weight load demands and adjustments to
floor height.
For heating smaller areas such
as a bathroom or kitchen, a hydronic floor
heating system may not be the best value for your
project. The complexity and cost of installing
the system, along with the long-term maintenance
and up-keep required, might not be worth the small
amount you will save in operational costs.
Radiant Heaters Tip: Many recent
developments have made hydronic systems more
convenient and possible radiant
heater solutions for major home remodeling projects.

Now is the Time to Install Radiant Heat
Now is the Time to Save Money and go "Green" with a
Clean Radiant Heat Snow Melting System
If you’re one of those unfortunate
souls who has to manually remove snow from
the driveway and walks every winter, you may want to
reconsider your methods. The passing of new snow
removal laws (such as that in Massachusetts)
don’t make it any easier on homeowners, who
are now mandated to provide snow and
ice-free walkways for pedestrians. If the sidewalks
are not cleared, property owners are not
only susceptible to personal injury lawsuits,
but they also face the possibility of fines, levied
by the local government. Removing snow from
your driveway and sidewalks is no longer an
option – it’s the law
Many consumers stock up on salt and other
snow melting chemicals to ease the physical
burden of shoveling the snow, but the amount of
time, money and adverse environmental
effects of these chemicals can be evident
year round. While effective in melting snow,
salt and chemicals are not so friendly to
the surrounding landscape. When spring hits,
the bordering grass and shrubs often reveal the ugly
scars from the repeated salt and chemical
use during the winter.
So if you’re serious about going
green (in more ways than one), consider
this. Radiant heat snow melting systems:
|
♦
|
Operate on
clean, renewable energy (hydronic or
electric) |
|
♦
|
Are safe and
environmentally friendly |
|
♦
|
Are fully
automated so that they efficiently
operate only when needed |
|
♦
|
Operate
discreetly and silently |
Of course, one of the most significant
“selling points” of radiant snow
melting systems is that it eliminates the time
consuming, physical demands of the
homeowner.
The best time to purchase and install a snow
melting system is during the early spring.
You are much more likely to discover discounted
prices, because the demand typically wanes when the
weather begins to warm. Springtime is a time
when homeowners are more interested in
outdoor grills and barbeques than snow melting
systems. Of course, once the summer has run
its course and Old Man Winter is peeking around the
corner, consumers tend to scramble to install a snow
melting system before the first storm hits.

A lot of people out there might hear about
allergies and asthma and assume that they're
only warm-weather maladies–I sure did once upon a
time. But the sad and uncomfortable truth is,
they’re very often year-round! Allergies
and asthma affect at least 60 million Americans
in one way or another, generally making the sufferers
rather miserable. Many allergy and asthma
experts will advise certain changes in
housekeeping habits to help alleviate allergy- or
asthma-causing conditions in your home. In
addition, you might consider changing your heat
source to radiant
heaters.
It could come as a surprise to learn that radiant
heaters could be such a simple solution to
helping keep your home healthy. In reality, radiant
heaters improve the air quality, which is
important, especially for anyone who suffers from either
dust allergies or asthma. Not having to change
air filters or clean heating ducts should also
cut down dramatically on dust or other allergens in
your home’s air.
Allergy experts agree that another way to keep
your home healthy is to eliminate the dust mites
that live in your home. Since dust mites love a
warm moist environment, towel heaters and other radiant
heater systems aid in maintaining a
consistent room temperature and keep it
moisture-free…and dust mite-free, too.
Furthermore, mold and mildew are also caused from
excessive moisture especially in bathrooms with
insufficient ventilation.
Radiant Heater Tip: Did you know that
simply 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?

Who isn’t a fan of saving energy,
especially if it’s easy? More than ever
before, homebuilders, househunters, and home renovators
alike are looking for energy-efficient heating
options for houses.We say they need look no
further than radiant
heaters for their ideal home heating solution.
Learn what many others are
learning every day: radiant
heaters are the most efficient form of heat
available in today’s market.
Significantly less operating time is required to attain
and maintain the desired warmth compared to
furnaces and other, traditional methods of
heating, which keeps 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. Combined 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.
Radiant Heaters Tip:
It might take a little effort, but being
more environmentally friendly doesn’t have to
involve major renovations. Many people waste a lot of
energy by not sealing cracks, doors and windows.
Checking to make sure a home’s insulation
is in good shape and replacing it if it’s not is
another good surefire way to stop, prevent, and
reverse energy waste.

When replacing a
home heating system, there are a lot of questions that
people have in regards to new home heating
systems. Here is a questions that was recently
asked.
Q: My 1,200
square foot home used to be heated by a furnace from 1949
that ran at 25,000 BTU. Recently I changed the system to a
newer, 7,000 BTU system. I thought this newer heater
would be more efficient, but I find that it takes much
longer to heat the house than the older system did. Is
there something wrong with my furnace or do I need one that
has a higher BTU?
A: It’s a good idea to replace old heating
systems with newer, more efficient models. These new
models can work just as well or better than old
systems, but they do work differently. Where old
furnaces could be turned on and heat the house within a
matter of minutes, new heating systems can take
longer. If you want your home to be warm at a certain
time, set the heat to go on about 45 minutes prior to that.
Another important factor is whether your home is
“weather-tight.” Make sure all doors and
windows are properly sealed. If not, you may be losing
heat at the same rate your heating system is producing it.
Check with a heating contractor who can tell you
whether the new unit is sized correctly for your
home’s square footage.

Automated Snow Sensors
High-Tech
Snow Switches for Heated Driveways and Roof Deicing
Systems
Are you
contemplating radiant heat for your next home
improvement project? Equipped with high-tech snow
switches, radiant heated
driveways and gutter systems are fully automated,
making them efficient and effortless when it comes
to snow removal.
The automated
snow switch detects temperature and moisture conditions
to initiate ice- and snow melting systems at the
first signs of inclement weather. Depending upon
what you’re heating, there are two general types
of sensors.
An
in-pavement (ground) sensor mounts in the concrete,
asphalt, or pavers of your driveway or walkways,
making it very indicative and accurate of the
driveway conditions and includes many programmable
features including:
- Electronic on/off control up to 11 KW
- 2 zone control with zones that can be
individually controlled
- Economical control
- Temperature and moisture detection
- Control of electrical or hydronic
(water-based) ice and snow melting systems
The aerial
mounted snow sensor activates your snow melting
system only when needed. These sensors are
typically mounted on the roof, and automatically
triggers your heated driveway or gutter snowmelt
system when it detects precipitation and
temperatures are below 39° F. Smart system
compatible, the sensor has several other notable
features, including adjustable temperature trigger
point, adjustable delay off cycle, and upgradeable
remote activation.
That’s
great, you say, but I have a snow removal service
already, so why pay for a fancy system? Snow fall
is unpredictable. Sometimes you wake up to the
stuff, and sometimes it accumulates throughout the day.
Snow removal services are certainly very handy,
but they can’t compete with the reliability
and efficiency of an automated radiant
heated driveway system. With an automated
radiant heated
driveway or gutter system, it’s like
having your very own snow melting service on call,
24/7. There’s no waiting involved, and no
slippery patches of ice that got overlooked. Automated
snowmelt systems only run when it’s
snowing, eliminating residual or standby operation
costs involved with snow removal services. And most
importantly, they offer the peace of mind that comes
with knowing your driveway and walkways are
completely clear of ice and snow.
If you’re not sure how an automated
snow melting switch fits into your radiant heat
snow melting project, take heart. Warmzone has the
experience and expertise you’ll need to meet your
project requirements, and can configure an
automated snow melting system with your needs and
budget in mind. To discover more about radiant heat snow
melting systems, contact 888.488.9276 today.

Roof Heating Solutions
Melt Snow
and Ice With a Radiant Roof Heating System
Radiant
heated roof and gutter heating
systems can dramatically enhance the life span
of your roof and protect it from damage caused by heavy
snow and ice accumulation. Older buildings are a visible
testament to the damaging effects of roof ice and
snow that can destroy fronts, roofs, drainpipes,
and gutters. Roofs that have substandard support
structures, and such shortcomings can enable water
to enter the building. As technology improves
insulation value, there is less heat gain from inside
of the building, causing an increased hazard of ice
damage and damming on the roof. Once winter frost
sets in, damage is often inevitable. Flat roofs on
industrial buildings often give in to excessive weight
loads generated by accumulations of ice and snow.
This can be prevented by installing a quality
heated roof and gutter deicing system, eliminating
potential damage from snow and ice buildup.
Working with
Warmzone on your roof
heating system installation allows you to
shop a number systems, and find the solution that is
right for your home and your budget.
Warmzone’s low-voltage RoofHeat
roof heating system is another excellent
solution for melting snow and ice from roof eaves,
valleys, and entire roofs. The RoofHeat deicing
system features an extremely thin,
self-regulating, semi-conductive polyethylene heating
element. Embedded between two layers of vinyl, the
panel is protected against UV rays, alkaline or
other potential physical damages for durability.
What’s
great about Roofheat is its versatility. It can be
installed under new or existing asphalt, shake, or
tile shingles, and is ideal for new construction
as well as remodeling projects.Available in rolls 9 or
12-inches wide, the lightweight heating panel can be cut
to size, and nailed or stapled through the
existing roof, making installation quicker and
easier than other traditional roof
heating systems.
You can never
predict the weather, but with a Warmzone roof heating
system, you can often predict the outcome. Prepare
now and say goodbye to pesky snow buildup and ice
damming for good. To find out more about the
Warmzone roof heating system, request a FREE

The Latest Trends in Home Improvement
Radiant
Heated Floors - Home Remodeling Trends You can Really
Warm up to
CBS
Moneywatch.com recently identified twelve trends in home
remodeling for 2011. The hottest
projects—bathrooms, must-do remodeling and warmer
interior design projects made the top three, with green
living coming in at number nine. With growing
concerns over rising fuel prices and carbon
footprints, it’s not surprising that more and
more homeowners are investing in their homes to
cut fuel consumption. Installing Warmzone radiant
heated
floors is a great way to keep up with remodeling
trends and recoup on home improvement costs.
How does radiant heat
work? Heated floors radiate heat from the
floor up to keep you warm and comfortable when cold
weather sets in. Two types of systems—electric heat
cable and hydronic
(water-based) tubing systems—when installed
in the subfloor of your home act as heating elements to
warm the surface above. These heating
cables/tubing coordinate with a thermostat and
sensors, as do traditional forced air systems, to
provide heat to your home.
Warmzone radiant heat is green heat. Powered by
electricity, electric radiant
heat cables can heat a surface in 30 to 60 minutes.
Unlike forced air systems, they are room specific.
With the help of sensors and a programmable
thermostat you can heat one room, or heat them all
quickly and efficiently, saving money on your
monthly gas bill. And unlike forced air systems,
they do not belch out the dust and dirt that compromises
air quality in your home.
A radiant heated floor installation
equals cheap equity. Heated
floors give your home an impressive level of comfort
and customization with minimal investment. Not
sure you want to install heated floors throughout
you home just yet? Warmzone offers a variety of heat cable
products that can be easily installed under the
subfloor of any room in your home, whether it be
bathroom tile, wood or even carpet.
If, as CBS
Moneywatch.com suggests, the over-arching remodeling
trend for 2011 is to tackle small projects while
you wait to do the really big remodeling project
that’s on your list, why not start by installing
heated flooring in your home. Unlike
other “one-size-fits-all” radiant heat
providers, Warmzone offers an array of radiant
heated flooring solutions designed to
better match your individual project, and your budget.
The good news—many of these floor
heating products can be installed by
do-it-yourself homeowners.

Heated Driveways and Roof Deicing
The Hottest
New Trends in Home Remodeling
Among the hottest types of projects listed in the
2011 CBS Moneywatch.com twelve trends in home remodeling
are the “must do” and green
remodeling projects. If you are finally replacing your
roof or pouring a new driveway, consider
incorporating a snow
melting system into your project list. Radiant heat
is green heating technology that actually enhances
the life of your roof or driveway without
impacting your overall fuel consumption.
Warmzone roof deicing
systems are designed to prevent the buildup of snow,
ice and large icicles around roof eaves, drains
and valleys, preventing damage to your roof and
the potential for injury from falling icicles. And you
have several roof
heating options to choose from. How
it works—a Warmzone RoofHeat
heating element is embedded between two layers of
vinyl, which serve as protection from UV rays and other
potential physical damage. Lightweight, flexible
and easy to install, these panels can be placed
under new or existing asphalt, shake or tile shingles,
making roof
heating a low-cost, viable home remodeling
project.
Installing a
heated
driveway is another way to add safety,
convenience and efficiency to your household while
building equity. Warmzone cable is available in
pre-configured mats, making easy to roll out under
newly poured driveways or pavers. The cable generates
heat with the help of an automatic
sensor that detects inclement weather and
activates the system. It immediately detects
changes in temperature and moisture associated with snow
and similar weather conditions to warm up
your driveway so it’s clear before
your boots (or tires) ever see the pavement.

Whether you
choose an electric
radiant heat snow melting system for your
roof or your driveway, you’ll also have the
peace of mind that comes with green living. Protecting
your roof from inclement weather and damage keeps
heat in, so your furnace doesn’t have to
work as hard, saving you in fossil fuel costs. A
Warmzone radiant heated
driveway system also saves your driveway from damage
caused by harsh snow melting chemicals or the
scraping of snow removal equipment, plus the
energy you expend clearing them, whether you’re
pushing a gas-burning snow blower, or shoveling.
Snow
and ice melt systems provided by Warmzone
deliver first class performance, efficiency, ease
of installation and energy conservation.
Partnering with Warmzone to complete your home
improvement project means you’ll get the valuable
input from radiant
heat professionals needed to find a
perfect solution for your heating requirements
that’s within your budget, so you can save some
green!
