Radiant Heaters More Energy Efficient Than Forced Air Heat?
Radiant heaters supply heat directly to the ceiling, floor or walls of a home. They use radiant heat transfer, which is heat moving directly from the hot surface to the objects or people in the room. This is the same effect as when you can feel the heat of stove burner from across the room. This type of heating is more energy efficient than forced-air heat because no heat is lost in the duct work. Since there is no moving air, it is better for people with allergies.
