Converting a house to run on infrared radiant heating panels

[@briandonovan6546]

I thought on the website it said they were 240v powered. To me i was expecting a huge NEMA plug like in a dryer, but it looks like it must've been a 12g wire ran to two separate circuits back at the panel? I really love the idea of this kind of heating and want to know more about the actual install specifications. Anyone thats been around an infrared heater knows how well they work.

What will you do when the power goes off to the house? Freeze?

[@HeatingGreen]

In the event of a power outage, our heaters can be hooked up to an electric generator or solar battery bank/ various other electrical back up systems. With a traditional forced air system with a gas furnace, you still need electricity to run the fan motors, circuit boards, relays, and thermostat. So if the power goes out, your gas furnace will be inoperable. Plus infrared radiant panels paired with one of our smart thermostats you have the ability isolate your heat to a particular room. So, you can save your power consumption using solar banks or a generator rather only being able to heat your entire house with a forced air system. Thanks for your question!

[@zachz96]

Gas furnaces don't run without electricity either.

how does a vent on a wall take up usable space but a panel 4 times the size does not?

[@appwit]

I believe they are saying that vents near the floor pushing air are taking usable space because you can not place furniture in front of them. No such restriction with a panel placed high on the wall.

[@raha5570]

IR heaters come in a variety of sizes and wattage the worry for me would be if i under powered the panel heaters and did not heat the room sufficiently or over powered the panel heaters and wasted money, i'm curious how you worked out the power rating for each room like is there is a standardized power of watts per m2/ft2 to achieve effective heating for IR panels?

[@HeatingGreen]

For the best explanation for proper heating contact our sales department. Email: [e-mail] or call: 360-715-4328 Thanks! -HG Team

[@morganmendieta3738]

They take up space because they are down below so In theory you should not put anything in front of them like chairs sofas furniture, but because the panels are hung high nothing to block them. They should have been more clear on that in the video. It took me a bit to figure out how they saved space by removing something in the wall.

Can Infrared ceiling panels be utilized as the primary source in the Northeast? Thank you

[@HeatingGreen]

Hello Sandra, in short, yes, please let us know how we can help! [e-mail]

what i notice here is that the ceilingmounted panes are flat to the ceiling , no gapping ?

[@HeatingGreen]

You are correct! They have a very low profile and work extremely well!! -HG Team

[@knightsofiot6395]

What did you do about the old ducting? Did you remove or fill that? The heaters look so good!

[@HeatingGreen]

Thank you! We think so too ;) We believe that they kept the old ducting but use our panels for their primary heat source. That's a great question! Check out our website for more details on the Cove heater: heatinggreen.com/product/cove-heater/

[@lizharley5723]

would these work in a basement?

[@HeatingGreen]

Hi Liz, the panels would work in an office, however you may need to add more than an upper floor of a house depending on the insulation profile of the room. For example if you had a brick/ concrete wall or unfinished ceiling ect. for more info please feel free to reach out to [e-mail] to build a quote specific to your application.

[@judyshatkin1809]

It looks like the ceiling panels are flat against the ceiling--don't they need space behind the panel for circulation?

[@HeatingGreen]

Hi Judy, Great question! Depending on which panel you install into your house, the requirements differ. Some of our panels can be flush mounted to the ceiling, while other panels need 2 inches of space between the panel and the ceiling or wall. For more specific needs/inquires for your specific application I would recommend sending us an email, [e-mail] or visiting our website heatinggreen.com

[@sebastiansapio7900]

Where can you buy these panels. They look very flat against the ceiling.

[@HeatingGreen]

They are the thinnest in the world.

Different heaters work more efficiently in different applications, but they all deliver that sweet heat that can't be beat. Visit our website, www.heatinggreen.com to get some sweet heat for your home today! -HG team

[@jimmasen9721]

How do these compare to a Mica heater such as those by Turbro and De'Longhi?

[@jeroenberkenbosch7072]

should be lower wattage ? as those are between 400-700 watts per pane on 7M width and 4m depth , and heats the enviroment and you . where usual heaters need time to heat up , and then transfer the heat to the casing . and are about 750+1250 watts ( 2 settings ) ?

I like to ask you a question I live in a house thousand square feet and I use electric central heat can I use these panels to take a place in my electric central heat would I save more money how energy cost

[@HeatingGreen]

Sorry for the long delay. Please email us your information and we can discuss the details. In short, yes. [e-mail]

I have a feeling the insulation in that house is bad.

[@kirksway1]

Hot air rises which is why heating is normally fitted at ground level.

Question- I have a 1500 W convection heater that is poorly placed in a room family at one. end of the room that is 400 square feet. Is there a 2000W radiant heat panel? Also, the place I live in was built in 1970s and has 120V aluminum wiring. Does that pose a problem? Are these 240V?

[@HeatingGreen]

Hi Jim! Our ceramic heaters only go up to 1500 Watts. If you are not feeling the heat, you may need to purchase more heaters. However, we do have heaters that are 120v-277v, just depends on the application of the heater! Your wiring will be fine as well!

[@midi510]

Having those wall heaters behind or near the furniture, like a TV stand or dresser, will dry out the wood of the furniture and likely shrink and crack it.

[@red00eye]

That's why all wooden furniture has a poly, wax or oil finish on it.

[@midi510]

@@red00eye A finish will mitigate expanding and contracting due to moisture absorption and loss, but can't protect from the expanding and contraction due to temperature change. I build and repair guitars. Many of the repairs I do are cracks due to expanding and contracting due to either heat or moisture. Plus, most furniture isn't finished over 100% of it's surface, allowing moisture to migrate throughout the wood. How many dressers have you seen that are finished on the inside?

[@richardprice5978]

@@midi510 so dumb question but hypothetically speaking a classic car like a 1890-1977 aka real materials ( like real red wood dash and flooring and bison leather ect ) would full time climate control and moisture control vs nun in any parts of the usa 🇺🇸 reduce the costs of ownership and maintenance needed ? more so if it gets parked outside on the regular? aka daily driver

[@midi510]

@@richardprice5978 Depend.on where you live. Where I live the RH is usually between 5% and 20%, with temps between -10° on the coldest winter days and the low 90s in the heat of summer. The low humidity is a really big deal here. In most places, it's much more humid and not a big deal. I'd also be concerned with how UV resistant the finish on a dash is. The plastics on most dashes gas off in the sun and cause a film to build up on the inside of the windshield, not to mention breathing it. I always use a shade in the summer.

more are using it , but gets now more renown , due to the energy/gas prices ......... also infrared floor heating gets in the picture , and then to imagine we made around 2005 these floorroll heating for a customer as pilot !

[@001Elpato]

The only thing I do not understand one the inside wall heaters they had, you say they took up usable space, how they could take usable space when it was in the wall? :D and btw you did nothing with that except turning them off probably so space wise you didn't save anything.

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

All these companies seem to be pushing infra red panels - not because they are efficent but because they don't use much space.

[@HeatingGreen]

There are many benefits to infrared heating! These reasons you mentioned, and because they are clean. Infrared heating does not blow around dust, pathogens, and allergens around your space. Check out our website for more information @ heatinggreen.com

[@screenplayhouse4932]

You should remove the 'usable space' pitch from this offering. It's a kind of con which then makes me wonder fi the entire thing is a con. That is: you point out a small vent and proclaim 'wasted usable space' but then have no problem putting a small 'ironing board' up high as if it isn't big and unsightly.

[@gantfrost7749]

You got it wrong. The small vent is taking up usable space in that you can not put any furnature in front of it to block the heat or air flow. But up high, you do not put furniture or anything else. Whether it is un-sitley or not is a different issue.

[@Reboot12345678910]

🤦🏻‍♂️

[@HeatingGreen]

I disagree as it is a fact. Any heater or vent on the wall or floor takes up some useable space, esp. wall heaters, whereas our heaters, similar to lights, take up no usable space.

[@majstrujeme8352]

Just dont use this at home unless you have a full moisture removing air circulation system. You will feel warm but the air is cold meaning it is damp nothing will dry properly in that house. There is a reason you warm the air.

[@C--A]

Wrong 🤦🏾‍♂️ infrared heaters don't blow hot or cold air. They use safe infrared beams, it's far more beneficial healthier than normal radiators 👍🏾 Go brush up on your energy knowledge and you will find infrared doesn't cause dampness. It's in fact the opposite 👌🏾

[@grahamdrew1069]

I sense the point you are making but from my extensive studies a year ago a system fitted throughout the house would produce convection and will warm the air. One problem is shading for example sitting at a desk with ceiling rads would keep legs cold..like shading under a tree from a hot sun

[@JJ-zg1hh]

This technology warms the walls and other solid surfaces which reduces cold spots and, therefore, condensation. IR actually helps with airborne moisture. Just sayin'.

[@HeatingGreen]

That is correct. IR heat does not affect the humidity levels in your home.

[@r.s.lapoint1178]

Spend $10,000 up front to save in 35 years?

[@HeatingGreen]

The math is simple, the average cost to install and purchase a gas furnace is around $6000. Typical life cycle of a furnace is 15 years with required maintenance and cleaning. The average life cycle cost of a traditional system for a 15 year period, not including maintenance is around $29,400 obviously varies on your local temperature variation. So if we sum it up your average cost for 30 years with a traditional system is at minimum $66,000. Infrared radiant panels are basically maintenance free, not only that they are 20-50% more efficient than traditional systems depending on your heat requirements, and don't circulate dust and germs throughout your house or building. In reality making the switch to infrared radiant heat can also increase your home value significantly because of their durability and safety. Why stick to that old, nasty forced air system, when the solution you need is with heating green?

[@Cowz19999]

My gas central heater just died. Do I buy a new one for 5k or spend 5k on IR heating? The government is pushing us towards electrical heating anyway.
