Like the sun, radiant heat warms objects directly with long wave electromagnetic energy. CeramiCircuit™ infrared radiant panels, used in REH products, diffuse heating energy rays in a 160 degree arc and distribute warmth evenly. There's never more than a 4 degree difference between floor-level and ceiling-level air temperature. Additionally, radiant heat warms a room faster and at lower temperature settings than other types of heating options.
The Energy Distribution Curve (below) shows the intensity of energy from a 1,000 watt heating unit at various angles:
Every installation of CeramiCircuit™ infrared panel heaters is as different as the building structure in which it takes place. To recommend the proper equipment for your job or project, we've outlined some of the information we'll need to know about your proposed or intended installation.

The diagram below illustrates how infrared heating works and the energy conservation concept behind IR Technology.
Radiant heating technology is so efficient that it actually caused a change in the State of Wisconsin Building Code that would permit lower insulation levels in new structures. And of course, REH offers a variety of product models that qualify for Wisconsin's reduced requirements (currently in effect).
"For 14 years my family and I have lived in total comfort with ceramic radiant electric heat. The comfort it provides is outstanding. We don't experience any cold spots, just constant, even heat." Vern N. Wauwatosa, WI
