The Best and Cheapest Ways to Heat Your Home

!±8± The Best and Cheapest Ways to Heat Your Home

There are three very energy efficient and cost effective ways to help heat your house. They are all options I have used in the past and have found them to help tremendously with our heating bill. The first of the three is the use of a space heater. If you live in a house or apartment where you don't need to pay to heat rooms you don't use very often, I've put an oil space heater in the room or rooms I want heated and it will heat the room up in to time at all, provided the size of the heater is sufficient enough for the size of the room. However, even if the space heater is too small for the size of the room, it will still combine with the efforts of your furnace.

The second way to help heat your home and lower your costs is to insulate you windows, or buy new windows. Whether you decide insulate or purchase new windows is mostly determined by whether you're a renter or an owner. Purchasing new windows for your home is going to hit two birds with one stone, one because it improves the value and appearance of your home, and two, it's going to keep that hot air you're paying for inside. If you're a renter you can go about anywhere and buy insulation for your windows. We put these over all of our windows in one of my old houses; you could barely see it and they kept the house a lot warmer.

The third way to help your heating costs to go down is to simply open your blinds during the day. This will let the warm sunlight in thus raising the temperature on the inside of your house. This also works the opposite way in the summer when you're trying to lower your cooling costs. This should go without explaining, but I see people fail to do it all the time and it is really quite amazing how much it helps. Open your windows at night to let the cool air in and makes sure your blinds are closed during the day to keep the hot sunlight out. During the summer this concept obviously has double the effect as is does in the winter and you can't open your windows at night to let the warm air in.

So there you have it, 3 cheap and easy ways to help heat your house in the winter. I've used all 3 and was very happy with all the results. Hope these tips help keep you and your family warm this winter and help save you some money so you can take that vacation this summer.

Electric Floor Warming System used to heat tile flooring. The system is designed to heat the designated square footage when installed in mortar under tile or masonry flooring. The heating mat is simply layed out on the floor in the area you want to heat prior to tile installation. The heating element is less than 1/8" thick, so the rise in flooring height is negligible. This system is BRAND NEW and manufactured by Warming Systems Inc. which offers a 15-year warranty on its product. The wire is pre-spaced at 3". With any floor heating system, if the wire is spaced more than 3" apart, you will feel cold "streaks" on the tile surface. Beware of heating systems that tell you to space the wire over 3".

Electric Radiant Heat - Low Cost House Warming

!±8± Electric Radiant Heat - Low Cost House Warming

We as consumers dream up all kinds of ways to upgrade our homes. From stain-proof carpet, to solar panels for decreased energy bills; we are always looking for something that improves our standard of living, and hopefully, reduces our standard of spending.

Radiant Heat is one of these upgrades. It is a luxury you won't think about, but you'll miss if it's not there. When most people think of radiant heat, "Warm Floors" typically come to mind. Radiant heat, however, does a whole lot more that warm floors.

Radiant Heat is capable of heating an entire house, and is far more comfortable and efficient than forced air or convection heating.

In space-heating, occupants feel more comfortable even when the space air temperature is maintained lower than typical forced air heating. Radiant heat results in less heat-loss from a room. Forced air registers and baseboard heat strips are always located on outside walls between windows. These systems heat air that comes in contact with the external windows and walls to temperatures much higher than the desired room temperature. This results in more heat-loss from the space. Heatizon System's products provide a uniform heat flux from the floor into the space, resulting in less heat-loss from the room.

Mass Warming results in less temperature variations in the space being heated. The flooring material is heated by the element which then radiates the heat into the space. The floor surface can be maintained at a very uniform temperature which prevents the hot and cold temperature swings that occur as other systems cycle on and off. Warming the mass of the floor results in what is called thermal capacitance. This allows the space to remain warm even when extreme temperatures occur. Essentially, heat energy is stored in the mass of the floor and other objects in the space. This applies to any type of floor--wood, concrete, tile, etc.

Efficiency levels of Heatizon Systems are excellent. When compared with a heat pump, forced-air furnace or baseboard heating system, Heatizon Systems low-voltage products are more efficient watt for watt. An article in the July, 1996 ASHRAE Journal, "Radiant Heating for Thermal Comfort" reported on experimental results comparing a heat pump, baseboard heat and radiant heat. The radiant heating system consumed 33% less energy than the heat pump system and 52% less energy than the baseboard system.

Reliability of Heatizon Systems are superior. The entire system is solid-state, has no moving parts to wear out, and has nothing that requires routine maintenance. There are no water lines to break or crack. Our products have been satisfying the needs of hundreds of customers since 1979. Both z-mesh and Tuff Cable are easy to repair in the event they get cut or damaged. The controls allow for power failures or spikes, yet brings the system back on-line as quickly as possible.

Comfort of radiant heat is superior because the radiant heat flux is uniform throughout the heated space. There are no "point-source" hot spots like there are in baseboard and forced air systems. Thermal comfort is sustained as the system cycles on and off, because the heated mass temperature remains almost constant.

Convenience of installation is superior to any other system. There is no ducting to deal with, no lost floor or wall space. Other than a thermostat, Heatizon Systems products are out of sight. Retrofitting is easy. Adding the system to an existing space is much easier than installing a hydronic or high voltage system.

Safety is a major advantage of the Heatizon System. Heatizon Systems products are ETL listed to UL standards 1673,1693, and 1561.

Quiet and clean. The Heatizon System produces no more noise than a light fixture. There is no fan starting and stopping, no filter to change or clean, no valves to wear out, and no pipes to rattle.

Life-Cycle Costs are less, especially when heating exterior concrete surfaces. The cost to replace a driveway, sidewalk or patio is many times the cost of the Heatizon Systems products.
