Ducoterra's Infrared Heating Panels are a simple, proven technology using infrared heat to directly heat people and objects in a room. Just like sunshine, they heat you directly, without heating the air itself. By directly heating the people and objects in a room, without heating the air, you are more comfortable at a lower air temperature. Home heating is the largest single portion of monthly uti
lity bills for renters and homeowners. Rising energy costs in the United States are claiming a bigger share of everyone’s income. It is a critical burden for many, and a recognized cause of homelessness in the United States. For one in ten Americans, home energy costs now account for 20% of their household income. Ducoterra radiant heating panels (RCPs) are simple, lightweight enclosed half-inch thick panels that range in size from 2 x 2 up to 2 x 6 feet. The panels contain an electrical resistance wire that warms as current is passed through it. Radiant heating panels are warm, but not hot, to the touch when in operation. They are backed with reflective material and insulation to direct the heat into the living space. Radiant heating panels can be surface mounted on a ceiling or wall, or recessed in a wall or ceiling. They generate silent, clean, comfortable warmth within a room, much like the feeling of sunshine. They are visually attractive, and blend well in virtually any type of setting. Ducoterra's SolaRay infrared heating panels have several benefits compared to conventional forms of home heating. Of all the types of home heating systems, SolaRay infrared panels have the lowest overall costs. Infrared radiant heat provides a superior comfort level than other forms of heat as well. They do not produce noise, drafts or allergy-irritating dust, as most central heating units do. They are an excellent choice for primary heating in new construction or renovation, and do not require structural alterations of any sort. For increased energy efficiency, Ducoterra's panels can even be turned down or off when vacating a room, for true "zone heating". When turned back on, they bring a room back to comfort levels very quickly, in about five minutes.
