Radiant heat is often considered to be more efficient than electric heat, as it is able to heat objects directly rather than heating the air around them. Radiant heat is also more comfortable, as it does not create drafts or hot and cold spots like electric heat can. Additionally, radiant heat is often more cost-effective than electric heat, as it does not require the use of a fan to circulate the air. However, electric heat can be more suitable for certain applications, such as when a space needs to be heated quickly or when a space needs to be heated to a very specific temperature. Ultimately, the best heating system for a given application will depend on the specific needs of the space.
