Energy-Efficient

Traditional baseboard, wall panels and cove heaters are constructed of pre-painted light gauge sheet metal and snap-together assembly. Runtal products however are crafted from heavy gauge steel, fully welded into a one-piece unit. This heavy-duty design acts like a heat sink, retaining heat when not energized, similar to a battery, and continues to radiate “free” warmth into the space. Whether it is a new, energy efficient home or an older remodel, the benefits of this energy-conserving heating system and the unparalleled comfort of radiant heat are limitless. When coupled with our SMART RST thermostat, your entire system or just one room, can be programmed for ultimate efficiency at your fingertips via your smart phone.

Integrates with Renewable Energy

Many homeowners are looking for cleaner sources of energy to heat their homes. As more polluting power plants are phased out, the national electricity supply is getting greener utilizing more hydro generation, solar and wind energy. Unlike hot air furnaces or boilers that require natural gas or propane, our electric products can be powered exclusively with clean energy. Wether using your own solar panels, heat pumps or renewable energy from your service provider, Runtal Radiators are the best choice for clean, efficient heat for your home.  

Health & Safety

As concerns about indoor air quality and health and safety increases, many homeowners and apartment dwellers want to avoid using combustion fuels and systems which continuously blow airborne contaminants throughout the space. Electric baseboard and walls panels require no combustible fuels or fans blowing air through dirty ductwork spreading dust and allergens throught your home. Pure, clean comfort.

 

Lower Upfront Cost

Installing an electric heating system requires the lowest upfront investment of all heating systems. No boilers, pumps, fans, ductwork, and complicate control systems. Runtal Electric Products are simple to install, virtually maintenance fee and a breeze to control and operate.

Why Electric Radiators are the premier heating choice in New York.

 

A new law is set to take place in New York to ban natural gas for new buildings and residences. What does this mean to you?

A law banning natural gas, in new construction, is set to pass in 2026.  What this means is that new residences or buildings (under seven stories) will no longer be using natural gas. This would not affect homes built before 2026.  This probable new law is focusing on the green initiative. Luckily, we offer electric radiators that can be used for these new applications. This is just the product to incorporate into new-build homes. Not only are they efficient and will comply with the upcoming ban, but they are based on our European design.  You still have the sleek design and also the clean and green way of heating the home. They are unlike typical baseboard products, offering thermal mass, giving the radiant heat and comfort that all our products offer.  We offer baseboard and wall panel designs with a slim profile and contemporary feel.

What is a Towel Radiator and the benefits of them?

We like to call our product “towel radiators” because not only is it a towel warmer, but it is also a radiator. The towel radiator eliminates the need to put the baseboard along the base of the bathroom where it is undersized and diminishes the look of the radiator over time. Towel Radiators also allow you to take advantage of the 24” to 36” set aside for a towel bar and use that space as a functional heating space, Warmth by Design. Solutions to the two most common bathroom heating issues:

  1. It warms and dries your towels.
  2. It can act as the main heat source in the bathroom, making it a cleaner installation by eliminating the need for a baseboard in the room.
Why are Electric Radiators the premier heating choice in New York?

RUNTAL ELECTRIC UNITS ARE 100% EFFICIENT.

What this means is that 100% of the electric energy used is converted into heat. Traditional baseboard products utilize lightweight construction which does not hold heat. As a result, when the room temperature is reached, they turn off and stop transmitting warmth into space whereas Runtal Electric products “store heat” because of the heavy steel construction which continues to radiate heat well after the room temperature has been satisfied. As a result, Runtal Electric Baseboard and Wall Panels do not have to continue to cycle on and off like a traditional electric baseboard product would do.


HOW HEAT MOVES AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FORCED AIR / CONVECTIVE HEATING AND RADIANT HEATING.

Radiant heating and forced air/convection systems are based on two completely different means of heat transfer. Forced air systems drive warm air, using a blower to push warm air into the room through a series of ductwork. Convection-only systems rely on the principle that hot air rises. They also transfer heat using air movement, which is the most inefficient. A radiant system, however, “radiates” heat into the space, similar to the sun. This process warms all of the occupants and physical objects as a primary means of comfort. The added secondary benefit is “free” convective heat transfer.
