Even though
it’s now Springtime (and forecasted high energy
bills), homebuilders, househunters, and home
renovators alike are looking for energy-efficient
heating options for houses. In fact, as builders
and homeowners look for new ways to add value to homes
in a weak housing market, they often look for upgrades
that will add value and efficiency to their homes,
which will help them sell. We say they need look no
further than radiant heaters for their ideal home
heating solution.
In a nutshell, radiant
heaters are the most efficient form of heat available in
today’s market. Significantly less operating
time is required to attain and maintain the desired
warmth compared to furnaces and other, traditional
methods of heating, which keeps operational costs to a minimum.
High efficiency boilers or electric radiant
floor systems makes radiant heat one of your most
efficient ways to heat your home. Combined with a
well-insulated home, these radiant heater systems can
quickly warm your home and then shut down or wait idle
for long periods of time before being called upon by
the thermostat to operate.
Radiant Heaters
Tip: Being more environmentally friendly
doesn’t have to involve major renovations. Many
people waste a lot of energy by not sealing cracks, doors
and windows. Checking to make sure a home’s
insulation is in good shape and replacing it if
it’s not is another good surefire way to stop,
prevent, and reverse energy waste.

Winter weather is on the way. Start thinking
about heating
system solutions for the coming winter months or
spend the season shivering and wishing
you’d planned ahead. Leaving decisions like this
to the last moment (for example, when your furnace up
and dies in the middle of a brutal
Nor’easter) causes unnecessary stress, expense,
and, most obviously, a freezing cold house.
Whether you are building a new home from the
ground up, preparing to replace your heating
systems are using electricity instead of natural gas
or heating oil. Not only does this cut down on
heating costs, but it is also more efficient and
eco-friendly as well. Radiant heating
systems are quickly replacing traditional furnaces.
Heating Systems Tip: Choosing the best
heating
systems for a new home or to add supplemental heat
to a cold spot in your home now takes a little
homework. The radiant consultants and designers
at Warmzone have been trained in all of the latest
heating systems to properly assess your project
and prescribe a system that will add value to
your home within your budget.

Innovations in home heating are here and ready
to keep your home comfortably heated!Flat
panel radiant
heaters are used to heat objects via radiant heat
transfer. These radiant heaters have
traditionally been used in a variety of industries
and applications. Some of these applications include
space heating, drying, curing, and water
evaporation. More recently, these heating
systems are also gaining popularity in home heating
applications as well.
Radiant
heaters use different types of emitter surfaces.
Choices include: quartz, high-temperature glass,
stainless steel, and ceramic tiles. These are
all materials that are easily and efficiently used in
home applications such as flooring, countertops,
and towel racks. Because these items are easily
turned into emitter surfaces for radiant heat,
they can easily and beautifully be incorporated into
home heating applications such as heated floors,
walls, and towel racks.
To find out about radiant
heaters for your home, check with the folks at
warmzone.com. They have a complete product catalog of
radiant heating solutions that can accommodate
almost any application or budget.
Radiant Heaters Tip:
Not only are radiant
heaters a great way to efficiently heat a home,
while maximizing your home’s beauty, but
they are very cost effective and easy to
install.

Automated Snow Sensors
Automated Snow Melting Switches Clear the Path for
New Customers
Do you offer automated radiant
heated driveway or roof
deicing and gutter melt
systems as practical home improvement solutions
for your customer? With the help of
automated snow melting switches, you can make any snow
melting system installation a
success, and help your customer benefit from safe,
efficient, effortless snow removal. That’s
because high-tech, rugged snow melting
switches detect temperature and moisture conditions
to initiate snow melting systems at the
first signs of
inclement (snowy or icy) weather. Snowmelt
systems communicate with two types of sensors;
which one you choose is a matter of
application.
An in-pavement
(ground) sensor mounts in concrete,
asphalt, or pavers, making it very indicative and
accurate of the driveway conditions and
includes many programmable features including:
- Electronic on/off control up to 11 KW
- Two zone control with zones that can
be individually controlled
- Economical control
- Temperature and moisture detection
- Control of electrical or hydronic
(water-based) ice and snow melting
systems
Aerial
sensors (typically mounted on the roof)
automatically activate a heated driveway or
gutter snowmelt
system when it detects precipitation and
temperatures are below 39° F. Smart system
compatible, the sensor has several other
notable features, including adjustable temperature
trigger point, adjustable delay off cycle, and
upgradeable remote activation.
Whether you’re using them in a new
construction, residential remodel or
commercial application, automated snow melting
switches are easily integrated into any
radiant snow melting project, and begin delivering
benefits to your customers as soon as it begins to
snow. These automated snow sensors maximize
radiant heat system performance, so your
customers benefit from snow melting right way,
before the snow ever accumulates.
There’s no waiting involved. Radiant heat snow
melting systems feature fast
response times, are quick, efficient, and the best
way to keep residential and commercial
walkways and driveways clear of snow.
Because these automated systems only run when
it’s snowing, they also eliminate
residual or standby operation costs involved with
snow removal services.
For efficient, effortless snow removal,
nothing beats the convenience of a radiant
heated driveway or gutter melt system regulated by
an automated snow melting switch. To learn
more about automated
snow melting systems and other
radiant heat solutions, contact 888.488.9276.

Warmzone RoofHeat Deicing Panels
Warm Customer
Hearts with a RoofHeat Panel Roof Deicing System
Whether you’re a builder, an
independent contractor or a radiant heat
specialist, adding a Warmzone RoofHeat Panel roof
heating system is a great way to expand
your business offerings and provide your
customers with a cost-efficient heating solution
to counteract the effects of ice damming
and snow buildup. When you partner with
Warmzone you’ll also benefit from the
experience and expertise of radiant
heat experts, from the design phase
through final installation.
Warmzone offers several roof heating
systems that are designed to eliminate
icicles, ice dams, and snow at the roof’s
edge. The innovative roof heating panel
snow and ice melting systems can reduce
or eliminate property damage caused by the
inability of roofs to drain water during
winter months and extend the life of your roof.
Warmzone roof heating panels feature self-regulating
heat cable channeled into an aluminum
panel specifically designed for maximum
heat transfer. Each panel is preconfigured for
easy installation, and powder-coated
with a durable finish to extend the life
of your customer’s roof heating system
while complementing the exterior of
their home.
With Warmzone RoofHeat
panels, it’s also possible to
retrofit a metal roof. The
heated panels can be laid on top the old
metal roof in attractive
colors to match. Because the aluminum
alloy panel is in direct
contact with the self-regulating heat
cable, the system results in
efficient roof heating that will leave
your customers snow and
icicle free during the winter months.

automated roof heating systems,

heating or other radiant
heat solutions, contact 888.488.9276.

Roof Heating Solutions
Eliminate Snow and Ice From Roof Edges
Radiant heated roof
and gutter
heating systems can dramatically
enhance the life span of your roof and protect it
from damage caused by heavy snow and ice
accumulation. Older buildings are a visible
testament to the damaging effects of roof ice and
snow that can destroy fronts, roofs,
drainpipes, and gutters. Roofs that have
substandard support structures, and such
shortcomings can enable water to enter the
building. As technology improves insulation value,
there is less heat gain from inside of the
building, causing an increased hazard of ice
damage and damming on the roof. Once winter frost
sets in, damage is often inevitable. Flat
roofs on industrial buildings often give in
to excessive weight loads generated by accumulations
of ice and snow. This can be prevented by
installing a quality heated
roof and gutter deicing system,
eliminating potential damage from snow and ice
buildup.
Working with Warmzone on roof heating system
installation allows you to shop a number
systems and find the solution that is right for your
customer’s home and their budget.
Warmzone’s low-voltage RoofHeat
roof heating system is an excellent
solution for melting snow and ice from roof
eaves, valleys, and entire roofs. The RoofHeat
deicing system features an extremely thin,
self-regulating, semi-conductive
polyethylene heating element. Embedded between two
layers of vinyl, the panel is protected
against UV rays, alkaline or other potential
physical damages for durability.
What’s great about RoofHeat is its
versatility. It can be installed under new
or existing asphalt, shake, or tile shingles, and is
ideal for new construction as well as
remodeling projects. Available in rolls 9 or
12-inches wide, the lightweight heating panel can be
cut to size, and nailed or stapled through
the existing roof, making installation
quicker and easier than other traditional roof
heating systems.
With winter just around the corner,
it’s a great time to sell your
customers on the benefits of a Warmzone roof
heating system. Call Warmzone
today to find out more about the benefits
of radiant heat at 888.488.9276.

Warming Your Heart by Warming Your Toes
Radiant
Floor Heating and You
With
winter just around the corner, it’s no wonder
that the winter wardrobe is being unearthed
and swimsuits are being put away in favor of
coats and leather gloves. It’s also a good
time to think about what new clothes your home
could wear to find more warmth for its hearth and
your heart.
Radiant
floor heating is the centerpiece to your
home’s new winter wardrobe. Like the
heat of sun-warmed sand on bare feet, or a warmed
car seat in a luxury sedan, radiant heat is
one of the finest forms of heat imaginable.
Immediately tangible, the concept of radiant heat is
now being applied to homes everywhere. With
simple thermostats and a variety of
installation processes available, no home should go
through winter without it.
Warmzone
specialists are extremely knowledgeable in the
physics and application of radiant heat, and
are trained to explain and help visualize how
to best fit your home to its new winter clothes.
Radiant heat is one of the most cost-effective
ways to heat your home, and it performs better
than current heating models. Compared to the dry,
loud heat of forced hot air systems, radiant
heat is far more effective, environmentally
friendly, quiet, and comfortable.
Waking up
in the morning and setting foot on cold hardwood in
the winter can set an entire day down into
doldrums. Instead, wake up to warm toes and a
happier outlook.

Have you ever
gone on a ski vacation for the weekend and stayed at a
little ski lodge? A lot of the times, they’ll have a
huge fireplace in the main room with smaller bedrooms
up in the loft area or second-story. But the problem
is that when you’re in the main room with the roaring
fire, you’re often overwhelmed by the heat and
retreat to the bedroom, where it’s far
chillier. You see, many vacation or weekend homes
weren’t built with air conditioning ducts with
which to deliver the heat to the different rooms of
the house. However, there is a solution to adding
heating to homes that have not been built for traditional
forced air systems: radiant heaters.
As opposed to warm air systems (such as a forced
air unit heaters), radiant heaters deliver the source
of heat to the floor level, not the ceiling. Radiant
heaters or radiant energy is the oldest form of heating
used to provide comfort and is the basis for all
heating systems.
Additionally, radiant heaters also offer more
comfort than forced air heating by heating the
atmosphere from the ground up. Since heat rises, the
heat will be more evenly distributed, providing a much more
comfortable atmosphere.
Radiant Heaters Tip: Radiant energy is
totally pure radiation and is absorbed by an object
without physical contact with the heat source or by
heating the surrounding air, as is the case with
convective, forced air systems.
