Built-in heaters
There are now several methods of electric heating where the elements are built in, or incorporated with construction, and these are proving very popular and efficient. Their main advantage is that they are completely invisible yet give a controlled environment to just the desired comfort level in the various zones of the home. The first is in-floor heating where the element wires are embedded in the concrete floor. The cost is quite reasonable, in fact building a home with a concrete floor can give substantial savings over the conventional wooden construction and heating can be installed as a bonus with cash to spare. This method of heating is of the storage type and is therefore very suitable for the offp.eak cheaper power rates. A second method is ceil ing heating where fine elements are cast in the gypsum plaster ceiling sheets at manufacture. A third method is by means of installing a newlydeveloped product on top of the ceiling panels.
