Yes, over time radiant ceiling heat has been proven to be cheaper than the traditional gas. The price reduction from using this type of heating may not be seen right away on the first few bills but will be noticeable on a yearly bill comparison.

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.
What kind of heat is the sun?
Radiant heat I assume you mean the heat emitted by the Sun rather than the heat of the Sun itself.
Why is it hotter near the ceiling than near the floor of a room?
Heat rises, so it is hotter near the ceiling than near the floor.
Why does black objects absorb more radiant heat than than chrome plated?
because black is a color that the sun likes
Does red stone reflect more radiant heat?
because 5 rupee is less than 10 rupee

radiant heat
Is a Comfort cove heater cheaperto use than baseboard heat?
Yes, you feel warmer in the sun than you do in the shade, Radiant Heat is like being in the sun. Baseboard heaters produce hot air which rises and is trapped on the ceiling, No one lives on the ceiling. Radiant heat travels straight to the floor at the speed of light, heating the objects and the entire room with out moving air. So again Yes money is saved in energy and floor space is also saved,, plus it is far more comfortable and even. Kirk Sharp President www.radiantsystemsinc.com
