Floor Warming
Floor Warming
No type of heat is more comfortable or efficient than floor heating. It is the dominant type of heat throughout most of the world, and its advantages are now becoming apparent in the West. Thermal Comfort has been a leader in floor heating technology for over 20 years.
Ease and economy of installation make Thermal Comfort ideal for use in high rise apartment complexes.
Landlord Advantages:
- Economy of Installation:
- No more piping, conduit, or ducts.
- Simple to install electrical wiring (which needs to be installed anyway) supplies power to the heating system.
- The elements are easy to install: just roll them out and wire them up.
- Long Life:
- Elements are embedded within the structure of the building. This protects them from almost all forms of potential damage.
- The elements are solid state, with no moving parts. This means there's nothing to break or wear out.
- Cost is saved over the life of the building by not having to replace or repair the heating system.
- Tenants Pay for Electricity:
- Since tenants generally pay for electrical usage, they will also be paying for their heating needs as well. This relieves the landlord from taking risks on rapidly rising energy costs.
Tenant Advantages:
- Unprecedented Comfort:
- Floor heating is simply the most comfortable type of heating system there is.
- Lower Energy Costs:
- Floor heating is not only comfortable, but efficient. The large radiating surface of the floor provides both convective and radiant heat - the radiant component (like sunlight on a spring day) warms objects and allows tenants to keep thermostats at lower temperatures while maintaining the same comfort quality.
- Zone Control:
- Each room is on its own thermostat. This means that seldom used rooms may be kept cooler, resulting in additional energy savings.
