A few years ago if you had told me that using electric radiant heating would save energy over traditional forms of heating I would have laughed.  Not any more - several years ago I came across a truly remarkable heating system that replicates the long wave radiant heat output of the sun to provide gentle comfort where conventional systems simply cannot perform adequately or efficiently.  It is brilliant for "difficult" buildings, for example, churches, school halls, shops with open doors - in fact its just brilliant.

I am constantly being asked to design and specify heating systems for Churches - amongst other buildings - and this system fits the bill very nicely.  Naturally I will investigate all options, but time and time again long wave radiant heaters provide the solution I am looking for. 

This type of heating is great for high vaulted ceilings and lofty roofs where the heaters can be mounted at maximum height offering very little obtrusiveness (is that a word?  it is now!) and tremendous heat distribution.

Long wave radiant heat works by replacing the human body's heat loss to moving air - just like being outside on a sunny spring day and moving from the shade into the sun - the air temperature doesn't change but you feel warmer.
