Information page for Radiant Cove Heating
Most
people grew up in homes that were heated with hot air, and as we all know, hot
air rises. Comfort Cove heat is radiant heat. Radiant heat does not rise like
hot air; it will heat anything in its path, up, down or sideways traveling in a
straight line until it strikes an object. Unlike hot air, radiant heat is not
affected by gravity. Radiant heat provides heating comfort in much the same
manner as the sun. As objects in the room become warm, the surrounding air
picks up heat by conduction and the entire room becomes warm, just like the sun
warms the earth.
You
may wonder just how Comfort Cove heating works to provide superior comfort.
Radiant heat first warms the floor where people are the majority of the time.
Radiant heat warms all objects in its path, such as walls, floors and
furniture. These objects absorb heat and provide a “heat reserve” which helps
keep the room warm. Comfort Cove heating generates even temperatures, thus
ending hot-cold temperature fluctuations and cold floors and beds. Comfort
Cove’s fast response, low-mass aluminum front cover quickly begins producing
radiant comfort at a moment’s notice. Occupants feel warmer immediately and no
longer have to wait for the entire room to become warm.
Comfort Cove heating provides a safer living environment for you and your
family. The units are placed high on the wall close to the ceiling so they are
out of the way – freeing up floor space. This also eliminates the threat of
accidental burns to children. Comfort Cove operates at such a temperature that
it doesn’t require an overheat switch. With Comfort Cove heating, floor space
is saved because the units can be installed over doorways and on all interior
walls. Comfort Cove heating units are mounted near the ceiling so the radiant
panels direct heat downward across the room, without being blocked by furniture
and other objects. They are thin and attractive and with five popular colors to
choose from, they blend with almost any décor.
You
also save money with Comfort Cove heating’s Zone Control. After all, why heat
rooms that are not being used? With Zone Control, each room in your home can be
individually controlled. Zone Control allows you to keep the temperature lower
in rooms that you don’t use as often. Comfort Cove heating is so flexible that
it can be installed in one room or all your rooms. By independently controlling
the temperatures in each room, you’ll save energy and money by just heating the
rooms you use.
