Radiant Electric Heat’s Model 1624SS Portable Heater, made of stainless steel construction, is DME-cited and product approved.
Many people with extreme chemical or environmental sensitivities or deficiencies find it impossible to use any other form of heater besides the radiant variety. While it certainly is not a cure, it most definitely is a comfort. Satisfied customers of REH have written to us citing an “improved quality of life”.
While some cases have called for the elimination of an existing natural gas heating system altogether in order to prevent ill effects from the burn-off of the gas, others have simply used radiant heating to complement existing heating systems in providing warmth and comfort.
The elderly in particular oftentimes find their home’s central heating system to be insufficient or inadequate. They’ll choose radiant heating as a supplemental source of warmth and use its zone-control feature for cost efficiency. You’ll find many assisted living centers and retirement communities have chosen to install radiant heating as well.
Hospital Burn Rooms, where patients cannot have air blowing on them, are a perfect example where radiant heating can have soothing effects. The low temperature at which the heating element operates eliminates the “fried dust syndrome” of airborne contaminates burning on red-hot heating elements, which is so common with other heaters operating at higher temperatures.
If you or someone you know suffer from arthritis, allergies, or immunity deficiencies
radiant electric heat could help remedy the situation. Also, for your information, REH portable models are available by prescription.
