The manufacturers of electric radiant heat claim their products are efficient. Is this real or a sales pitch?
I see a lot of radiant heat wires and mats being installed under tiles. Is the real reason to have it is so you can walk comfortably barefoot on the tiles? If it really is efficient then why is electric baseboard not efficient?
I have a job coming up where they want to install it on a slab in three rooms. The total square footage is about 500. I can just picture their electric meter spinning like a top and most of the heat sinking into the slab. Any feedback would be appreciated.
