Hot air rises - the ceiling is the warmest spot in the room!

That means the coolest place is near the floor!

Don't we normally sit near the floor?

With convector heating systems we rely on the movement of warm air to keep our rooms warm. Cool air passes by the radiator on the wall, is heated up and rises to the ceiling, displacing the cooler air that drops down the room and again passes by the radiator, is warmed up and rises again.

Depending on who you talk to, temperature differences can be anywhere from 3 degrees centigrade up to a significant 7 degrees centigrade!

Wouldn't it be great if you could sit nearer the ceiling?

With infrared heating there is a minimum movement of air as the air is heated up only after the rest of the room has been heated up (walls, floor, objects etc...) and so the temperature difference can be as low as 1 degree centigrade!

That fact alone makes  infrared heating panels so much more efficient!
