What are examples of electrical energy to radiant energy?
light bulb, sun, fire, nd maybe stove
Should you install a programmable thermostat for radiant water heating?
I think if you are using a radiant heating system like warm board that can respond quickly to changes in temperature then a programmable thermostat makes sense. However if you are using concrete slab radiant heat, which takes a long time to heat up and cool down a programmable thermostat will be less efficient than leaving it at one set temperature.
Is in floor electric radiant heat energy efficient?
Very efficient and warm on the feet. I have it. One drawback is the initial cost is higher for installation over other heating systems. Once the floor slab heats up there is minimal input heat to keep it there.
Metals conduct both heat and electricity because?
Free moving electrons can carry both heat and electric currents throughout a system.
What processes is the suns radiant energy a major factor of?
Producing heat.
Do the electric furnaces operate the same as a gas furnace?
The simple answer is yes it produces heat and is distributed to the rooms in your house; unless however, you are using electric baseboard heat which works on convection, or electric radiant heating panels.
How does radiant system work?
There are many different ways to use radiant energy to heat your home including radiant flooring, radiant electric heating, radiant tiles... The site in the related links has tons of information on radiant heating. Technically, "radiant" heating is used to distinguish from "forced air" systems. In a radiant system the radiant elements emit heat and in an forced-air system the furnace heats air, which is then moved to where the heat is needed. A radiant system can be electrical, hyrdonic or steam-driven. For instance, a hydronic boiler heats water to about 180 degrees and uses circulators (forced hot water) to move the heated water to a finned-tube, floor-tubing, wall-tubing, or cast-iron radiator, heating the radiator, radiating heat into the room. The cooled water then flows back to the boiler to be heated again.

What is an electric component that transforms electric energy into heat and light?
That is a light bulb, or any filament such as the one in a radiant electric fire.
Can radiant floor heat alone is enough heat too heat up a house by itsself?
it depends of your house. if it has more than one floor then it might not. it also depends on how many rooms has radiant floor
Why is radiant floor heating better then central heat?
Radiant floor heat is considered by many to be better than central heat because it is much better for our environment. Another reason is that is cost less to heat your house using radiant floor heat than central heating.
What does broil mean?
To cook by direct radiant heat, as over a grill or under an electric element.

who can repair my home heating system?
Your home heating system may use a furnace, boiler, electric resistance, hot water baseboard, radiant heat, geothermal or other system. Look through the phone book for a professional right away!
Are radiant heating panels cost effective?
A U.S. Department of Energy sponsored study concluded that radiant heat panels were 52% less expensive to operate than electric baseboard heat and 33% more cost effective air to air heat pumps.
