Re: Radiant Heat and air ducting

Since heat rises, wouldn't it be more energy efficient to have radiant heat

in the floor. I think they make that.

Hot air rises, radient heat panel heat the objects and people first,

and radient heat is bounced off the floor. You would not even need a

fan to draw the heat down with a vaulted ceiling, a ridiculouse

notion, a fan in the winter makes you cold, and I see people freezing

all the time with vaulted ceilings-their hot air does indeed go up.

The radient heat in the floor is either hydroponic, needing a large

boiler, very expensive, and ties you into a fossil fuel,also, the idea

of a liquid leak in my floor frightenes me, plus if anything goes

wrong, it costs another fortune; or electric wires in the floor, which

does not work well and is expensive. The EPA has done studies that

Show these panels,Enerjoy,are extremly cost effective, and save money

over a traditional heat pump. The EPA studies also showed they came

out on top with users comfort . If one panel goes bad, the system is

not " down " , and and electrician just scews in another panel.Also, you

can adjust each room to your comfort level. Great for the chilly

elderly.
