What is a “radiant” electric heating system?
A. An electric radiant heating system typically uses specially designed ceiling panels, with built-in low-powered electric heating elements. The heat is “radiated” downward into the room, in much the same way that the sun’s heat warms the earth. Like sunlight, radiant heat works by “line of sight”, meaning that it can be blocked by furniture or other obstructions. With careful furniture placement and proper system design, this can be a very even, comfortable type of heating.
