Forced Air Heating Ideal
Why Pay to Heat the Ceiling?
Water Coil Heater
Heater Inserts
Air You Breathe / No Drafts
HRV controls the Air Radiant Heat provides
with No Dr
2” and 4“ Piping / Standard Heat Density
Multiple Zone Control systems available in 4” or 2” inch Pipe Layouts
2” Pipe / 5” Slab – Heat Storage
Heat Storage
2” Pipe / 5” Slab system will drop ~ 1°C (2°F) 12 hours

Energy Savings
vs. Forced Air Heating Systems
Energy Savings @ Design Condition
Cornwall, ON - Residence - AFI 800 @ Design Condition – 10 Btu/hr/ft²
Energy Savings – Over the Heating Season
3°C Reduction in Indoor Temperature

Frost Line Prediction
Legalett assumes all soils are frost susceptible Legalett’s conservative approach Legalett assumes 70-80% soil moisture content Legalett assumes no ground or snow cover Legalett models the worst winter in 100 years
