More and more people notice that traditional convection heating based on radiators, plumbing installations or furnaces is ineffective when compared to the technology appearing on the market. Contrary to common opinion, surface heating based on heating films turns out to be much cheaper in operation and in mounting, although the source of heating is electricity. It is evident that a unit of electricity costs more than a unit of gas – but we emphasize the fact that you need to introduce to each room as much thermal energy as “escapes” from it. In consequence, in order to feel thermal comfort in convection heating, we must use much more of this energy in a much longer period of time – for example due to the ventilation (through which warm air escapes to the outside). Heating films emit infrared, first,  all objects in the room are heated and they reheat the air. In other words, the time and amount of energy introduced into the heating system is several times lower, which directly translates into both electricity bill and thermal comfort, even at lower temperatures.

Your thermal comfort depends both on the heat exchange with the surrounding air by convection and by radiation exchange with building partitions. The feeling of being warm is the resultant of air temperature and average temperature of building partitions. Domestically, the lower temperature of building partitions can be compensated by a higher air temperature. However, this solution is unfavourable to your health.

At the air temperature above 22° ​​C and the air movement that rises the dust, irritation of the mucous membrane occurs which may result in throat diseases, allergies or cold. In turn, the low temperature of walls affects the development of mold and fungi whose adverse impact on health need not be explained. In extreme cases, we can see streaks of these microorganisms in corners of premises, but most often, we do not see their development, hoping that the problem does not exist.

Red Snake radiant heating system exchanges heat in the first place with building partitions and they are to heat the air. In consequence the temperature of the walls and air is the same and this is the optimum solution from the point of view of comfort, health and operating costs.
