Radiant heating is safest when you're in the room. Never leave the room for a long period of time with a space heater on. About 25,000 fires per year are the result of using a space heater. Radiant heating is definitely not safer than central heating.

Is radiant heat safe for me and my family?
Radiant heat is actually safer than most other types of heating. It has no moving parts or exposed heating elements that children could come in contact with.
What are the benefits of electric heating over gas?
The main benefits of electric heating over gas are 1) the ability to control the temperature, which will save you money, and 2) electric heating is safer than gas.
Is coal very important?
Coal was a very important heating factor in the early days, sadly, coal has now been replaced by gas/electric central heating, which is a probably a lot cleaner, safer and easier for modern day living.
How does pasteurization preserve food?
You are heating it, which destroys the bacteria or slows the microbial growth, so less bacteria in the food, which makes it safer to eat!
What type of energy will be safer for people and the environment?
radiant energy
What does pasteurize mean?
heating it to kill and bacteria in the milk making it safer to drink.It typically involve heating to 72degrees for few minutes followed by sudden cooling to 6-10degreres.Both process are important for ensuring complete killing of bacteria.
Which flame is more economical why?
My answer is luminous flame because it is used commonly here in our country Philippines but it is never be used for heating because it deposits too much soot. But it is easier to see, less hot and safer.
What type of energy may be safer for people and the environment?
Radiant energy is the safest energy for people and the environment.
Why are your beds on top of the floor?
In the old times when there was no heating people would sleep higher up as it would be the hottest place (as heat rises). Also it was safer, away from rats amongst a range of other minor reasons.
Working out how much ozone is needed in a mixture to explode and why a lower concentration is safer?
Ozone at 10 wt% or higher has been observed to spontaneously deflagrate, heating the mix and increasing the number of molecules by a significant amount (2O3 -> 3O2).
Describe advantages of electrical heating?
No piping to corrode, cleaner then oil , safer then gas, no flue piping required, cant freeze up like a pipe can, no hydraulic shock (water hammering) less controls to go bad
Many Benefits When Using Radiant Heat?
Radiant heat is gaining in popularity as people turn to more energy efficient and cleaner ways to heat their homes in the winter. In Sun Belt climates where the need for heat is sporadic off and on all winter, using portable radiant heat units can be a way to gently heat rooms, and keep them at comfortable temperatures day and night. Portable radiant heat units are on the market that are inexpensive and energy efficient. The portable radiant heaters available online use oil that heats up gradually, and the biggest advantage associated with oil heaters is that they retain their heat over time. These are also called vertical thermal chimneys. The units are small and would easily fit in the typical bathroom for spot heating or in a cold and drafty bedroom for steady heat. Allergy sufferers also like to use radiant heaters because no dust, pollen, or pet dander blows around when the radiant heaters are in use. Conventional forced air furnaces can circulate many particulates in a home unless they use sophisticated filtration. The radiant heat from the oil heaters has a chance to penetrate the furniture, walls, and flooring, as well, so there are no times when the room cools down, unlike a hot air furnace. Some people use them in conjunction with forced air heating in case they have a room that is exceptionally cold. Instead of turning the furnace up, they simply place an oil heater inside the room to enjoy the radiant heat they produce. Oil radiant heaters are also much safer than other methods of heating. There is no carbon monoxide created, and there is virtually no danger of fire. They simply do not get hot enough to combust anything commonly found in a home, and many have shut-off switches in case they tip over. The fins in the radiant heat units are tightly sealed, and it is unlikely one would ever leak the contents. Overall, people in all but the most extremely cold climates can benefit from using quiet, efficient, clean radiant heat.
