With the rise of modern technology, San Antonio residents are no longer limited to traditional heaters for their heating needs. Gas-fired infrared heating — known as radiant heating — has grown in popularity over the years. These systems are efficient for residential and commercial settings. They supply consistent heat throughout designated spaces.
Honeycomb Heating & Cooling is dedicated to maintaining comfort across San Antonio and surrounding areas. We specialize in radiant heat panels, providing options for your heating needs.
Have you ever walked outside on a hot day, only to be greeted with the instant warmth of the sun?
This direct warming effect is similar to infrared heating. Infrared waves are part of an electromagnetic spectrum. They’re invisible to the human eyes but detectable by the heat they release.
When infrared waves travel through the air and come into contact with surfaces, they release heat energy. Surrounding objects absorb this energy, thus warming the space around them.
Infrared heat can be used to warm an area as large as a commercial warehouse!
Gas-powered radiant heat panels use natural gas or propane to produce natural infrared heat. Honeycomb Heating & Cooling installs these systems on ceilings. Similar to traditional heating systems, they’re controlled using a thermostat.
The fuel heats a steel tube — known as a tube heater — or a ceramic surface. This heat is dispersed as infrared energy, which is directed downward to heat a designated space. Since the warmth is absorbed by objects in its path, the hot air is re-radiated to continue warming the space.
Every type of heating system has distinct characteristics. When it comes to an infrared heater, you can expect a range of advantages in your space. Our team is here to share the benefits of these efficient indoor systems.
Infrared-generating heating systems take less time to reach desired temperatures. They don’t require ductwork to distribute warm air like other systems. This technology prevents air leaks and energy losses associated with traditional air ducts.
This operation is targeted and efficient, preventing energy waste and the high utility costs associated with it.
Since ceiling-mounted infrared systems distribute heat directly, they provide immediate comfort to those in a space. These systems provide uniform heating, eliminating uncomfortable drafts or sporadic hot and cool spots.
With radiant heat panels, the process of installing this ceiling system has become more simple. When you need an efficient heat source in your space, you can trust our experts for a seamless installation process.
