ThermoTile® - Energy Saving

Comparison of temperature distribution of radiant floor heating and forced air heaters

  • As shown in the diagram above, ThermoTile® concentrates warmth near the floor (living area)
    where you need it, not near the ceiling.

  • Since more warmth is concentrated near the floor, you feel warmer.

  • Since you feel warmer, you can turn down your central thermostat.

  • ASHRAE* reports a "comfortable" temperature is 70°F.
    Forced air systems must be set at 75°F to feel this warm.
    Whereas with ThermoTile®, you can set your regular thermostat to 66°F and feel comfortable.
    This reduces your energy costs substantially.
    * American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers standard 55-1992.

  • For each degree that you turn down your thermostat, you can save between 3% to 5% on your bill.
    So, if you can turn your thermostat down from 75°F to 66°F, you will save 9 times 3% to 5% or up to 45%.

  • Your electric utility company may offer additional incentives for installing ThermoTile®!

  • Programmable thermostats help insure maximum savings.

  • Install thermostats in each room to control individual room comfort.

  • Finally, ThermoTile® is silent and does not require energy-consuming blowers to force the air
    through the ductwork.
