Floor Cable Heat ("Deep Heat")

Electric Heating

COST VARIES BASED ON PROJECT



Using the concrete floor of a building as a radiant heat source is recognized as one of the most comfortable and convenient forms of heating. EasyHeat’s DeepHeat technology converts electrical energy into a reservoir of radiant warmth that can heat industrial, commercial and residential structures.

FEATURES

DeepHeat uses a buildings foundation and the ground below it to store heat

Electricity is converted to heat using a specially designed electrical resistance cable buried in a sand bed beneath the floor slab

The heat, contained in a storage reservoir formed by insulating the foundation perimeter to a depth of 4 feet, radiates through the slab into the interior of the building

Radiant heat provides a uniform level of comfort that is clean, maintains natural humidification and eliminates heat stratification

DeepHeat is suitable for most new structures and does best when heating single-story buildings with high ceilings and large open areas

DeepHeat can be used as a primary heating source but some installations include a small amount of secondary heat to compensate for sudden, unexpected increases in heat loss such as when large overhead doors are open
