Electric Radiant Ceiling Heat

You will find many different types of electric radiant ceiling heat. There are surface mounted heating units which install over the existing plaster ceiling. There are heat panels which install between the ceiling joists above the plaster. Fiberglass insulation is installed above the panels, forcing the heat down. You will also find some systems which utilize cables which install on the plaster board of the ceiling and are plastered over, concealing them. Another cable system uses cables inbedded right in the gypsum panels.

All these electric ceiling radiant heat systems work on the same principal. Radiant heat works by heating the objects, including the occupants, of a room. It is the most efficient form of heating available, with very little loss.
