What makes Runtal Radiators the best choice?
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 the PNW.
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.
