November is here, and the chill in the air can almost be felt. Most of the places in the northern hemisphere have already started experiencing a lot of cold and here on, it will be at least 3-4 months of chill, cold and probably snow.During these months, we wish for a glimpse of sunshine because we do know that the sun's heat is really powerful and can pierce through to keep us warm. However, that's not possible during cold chilly winter months. What's possible is installing energy efficient heating systems that work on the principal of sun's radiation.Just like the sun's rays reach the Earth and warm everything it falls on, radiant heating systems are capable of heating everything around them.
So how exactly does a radiant heater provide you with heat? When radiant heaters work, they strike objects and make them warm. These objects get imbibed with radiant energy and start radiating the same to nearby objects, making everything around you hot. Even if you are in in front of the radiant heater, heat rays will pierce through your body and make you warm. Such heaters are highly effective and can make winters comfortable for you.
Here's our review of some of the best radiant heaters in the market:
1. Sunjoy: A proprietary of the Sunjoy Corp, this product makes the air surrounding you warmer and much pleasant to stay in. Other heaters might cause noise and air pollution but this product is 100% eco-friendly. It has been successfully tried in various labs to check its efficiency and reports have suggested that you don't need to change the in-built filters. As a result, this product is quite efficient monetarily as well!Further, the special ceramic plates make your blood circulation better, ensuring that you and your family members stay healthy on a cold winter day.
2. Heatstrip: A proprietary of Thermofilm Australia, this product again works on the principle of sun's radiation. It is available both as an indoor and an outdoor heater, making it easier for you to install it wherever you want to. The best part about heatstrip that differentiates it from traditional heaters is that it provides uniform heating everywhere, heating everything that comes in its path. On the other hand, traditional heaters are known to heat only the air near it to a great extent, making the air far away relatively cooler.
There are significant common benefits of both the above radiant heaters. Firstly, they don't require much maintenance and can work for years without changing the internal components. Secondly, they are extremely cost effective and can alone do the work that's done by 6 gas cylinders put together! Last but not the least, they are easy to install and won't require the help of an external electrical contractor!
