How does radiant heat differ from central heat and air (a.k.a. convection heating)?
Convective heat warms air that then warms bodies whereas radiant heat warms bodies directly. Convective heat blows dust and allergens in the air whereas radiant heat minimizes allergens and dust creating a healthier living environment. Unlike convective heat, radiant heat is very flexible and allows you to zone the different areas of your building or home to fit your lifestyle. Unlike convective heat, which will give you a stuffy and either to hot or too cold feeling, radiant heat will you provide you with the utmost heating comfort. Unlike the higher temperatures needed with convective heat to reach a certain level of heat feeling, radiant heat will give you the utmost comfort at lower temperatures, giving you the possibility to lower your energy bills.
