Is SunTouch WarmWire Radiant Floor Heat The Way of the Future?

If you have ever watched a science fiction show or movie, you may not have given much thought to the heating system your favorite fictional characters are using aboard their space station or space ship. As one of leaders in heating systems, though, we at SunTouch WarmWire have given it a great deal of thought, and we can’t help but conclude that our favorite characters from the future are using floor heating.

In fact, radiant heating from SunTouch WarmWire may be the only option for the future. In order to understand why, you need to consider the history of heating. Our ancestors probably first used open fires to warm themselves. Then, they learned to bring this indoors by using fireplaces. Eventually, forced air systems were introduced, but they still relied on the same notion: having a central area that created all the heat. The only difference is that the newer systems push the air – not always very efficiently – through a home rather than having one central heated area.

Radiant heat is different in a number of important ways. Firstly, radiant floor heat does not rely on heating one thing and then carrying the rapidly-cooling air throughout your home. Instead, electric floor heating systems evenly heat the entire floor space you are currently using. That way, you don’t have to move to the source of the heat – instead, the heat moves to you.

Secondly, radiant floor heating systems are customized. If you have ever seen science fiction movies and shows, you have likely seen those wonderful futuristic machines that allow your favorite character to press a few buttons and receive the meal, drink, or information they wish. In future, it seems, you can have everything the way you want it when you want it. Radiant floor heat systems are the only heat systems with this level of customization. They allow you to heat one room at a time to the exact comfortable temperature you require.
