The system takes advantage of low cost off-peak electricity available in most areas. When normal rate electricity is being used the system can be regulated by a time clock. Check with your local electricity authority regarding off-peak power availability in your area.
The concrete slab stores enough heat during the off-peak charge period to continue to maintain a comfortable temperature for the full 24 hours.
Heat storage is topped up again during the next heating period. Wonderful warmth.
The heat stored inside the concrete slab is emitted from the whole surface area, giving an almost even air temperature from floor to ceiling. Warmth is produced where it is required most, underfoot, and then radiates throughout the area.
CSIRO tests show that where floor level temperatures are around 16ºC people feel comfortably warm all over. When floor level temperatures are lower, people feel cold even if the temperature at head level is over 21ºC.
Pyrotenax Electric Storage Floor Heating is the energy-efficient way to provide a constantly comfortable room temperature.
