Glossary of Heating Technologies
Radiant Heating
Mimics the sun's rays, providing soft, enveloping warmth by heating objects and people directly. This method is energy-efficient, creating comfort at lower ambient temperatures and potentially reducing heating bills.
Blower Heaters
Utilize fans to produce immediate and intense heat, ideal for quickly warming spaces like bathrooms, hallways, and garages.
Self-Regulating
Heating cables that adjust their power output based on temperature fluctuations, thanks to thermosensitive materials.
Traditional Heating Solutions
Convectors
Compact units offering versatile installation options. Their design enhances the chimney effect for faster, more even heat circulation compared to baseboard heaters.
