When you stroll along the beach on a sunny day and feel the warm sand underneath your feet, you're feeling radiant heat. Hold a mug that was warmed because of the hot drink inside, then you're feeling radiant heat. When you stand outside on a cold day and your feet get cold, they aren't absorbing the cold, your feet are radiating your heat into the ground. We are natural radiant heat producers. Objects absorb radiant heat until they are the same temperature as the heat source, then the heat slowly escapes to the closest, colder masses.

In our safer low voltage system, line voltage is converted in the control unit to between 8-30 volts of electricity and this low current is then sent through the heating element. Resistance in the element creates the heat at controlled temperatures. The low-voltage elements we utilize are Heatizon’s ZMESH or TUFF CABLE, depending on the installation. The heat created then radiates from the element through the floor and continues to warm other objects in the room: tables, chairs, walls and you. None of the heat produced is wasted by leaving the home or building before being fully utilized.

ZMesh is a bronze screen in either 9 or 12" widths that is rolled out on the floor in bendable loops. It can be nailed, stapled or glued down. Though it will install under any type of flooring, we are exclusive for installing directly under any type of hardwood flooring. It can be wide or short plank, exotics or engineered. Now for what's even better: the Zmesh element can be directly nailed through without any effect to the system. Our 9" Zmesh is also exclusive to install under shingles or non-metalic roofing for snow or ice melting.

Tuff Cable is a insulated stranded copper cable that has one of the lowest profiles available. Install it directly under your tile or attach it to the reinforcement mesh in the newest indoor floor surface, polished concrete. This same great element also installs outside for snow and ice melting in concrete, asphalt or under pavers bricks. Tuff Cable is also the only patented, under-metal roof heating element on the market.

Reliabilty. The entire system is state-of-the-art and has no moving parts to wear out. It doesn't requires routine service or maintenance. There are no furnaces to maintain, water line fittings to leak, hoses that can crack or can be punctured. There are no pumps, mixing valves or solenoids. Unlike high voltage radiant systems that, if damaged, they are rendered useless because the break can not be traced. Our controls allow for power failures and spikes and will shut themselves down. Then, bring the system back online as quickly as possible. Most important, both Zmesh and Tuff Cable elements are easy to repair in the event of damage. All of our Heatizon heating elements carry an industry exclusive 25-year non-prorated warranty.

Comfort of our radiant heating system is superior because the radiant heat flux is uniform throughout the heated space. There are no “point of source” hot spots like there are in hydronic radiant and forced air systems. Thermal comfort is sustained as the system cycles on and off because the heated mass temperature remains almost constant.

Convenience of installation is superior to any other system.  There is no ducting to deal with and no lost floor or wall space. Other than a thermostat, Comfort Radiant Heating systems are out of site. Retro-fitting is easy. Adding the system to an existing space is much easier than installing a hydronic or high voltage heating system.

Safety is a major advantage of this system. All of our products utilize low voltage and are ETL listed to UL standards.

Quiet and clean. The Comfort Radiant Heating system produces no more noise than a light fixture. There is no fan starting or stopping, no filter to change or clean, no valves to wear out, and no pipes to rattle.

Yes. In fact, low-voltage radiant heating is based on true independant zones controlled by their own thermostat. You don't need to warm up 200 gallons of water to 180 degrees, then lower it to 130 degrees (a major waste of energy) just to heat your bedroom at night. Setting the system up in zones saves you money because you can choose to regulate the temerature in each zone independantly. We can design a zone as small as 15 square feet. We can design 3 rooms into 1 zone or into 3 separate zones. Neither of which will cost you anything it it's not calling for heat.

Some good examples of this technology; we have a low-voltage radiant heating system installed as primary heat in an entire condominium complex in the snow country of Utah with each unit having its own zone controls. We've designed snow melting systems that, instead of activating the entire driveway, will only activate the area that has blown or melted snow on it. Do you like your bathroom warmer than your bedroom? No problem.
