Room Storage Heating
Room storage heaters can be easily installed during new home construction or remodeling projects. Heaters can be easily installed into existing homes or businesses. Room storage heaters use Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) technology to convert electricity to heat. A quiet fan circulates heat from the bricks within the heater to heat the room. Each room storage heater is individually controlled so you can adjust the temperature of each room. Room Storage Heating units have a sleek cabinet in a neutral color to compliment any home decor. They are covered by a five-year warranty.

Slab Storage Heating
Using the concrete floor of a building as a radiant heat source has been recognized as one of the most comfortable forms of heating. A slab storage heating system combines the comfort of radiant heat with the cleanliness and consistency of electricity. Converting electrical energy into heat and storing it in a reservoir of radiant warmth. The slab storage system is designed to
heat industrial, commercial and residential structures. Electric mats are installed into sand 8”-12” below the concrete slab, using the earth as a reservoir to store heat that will later radiate up into the structure and heat.
