Electric heaters are commonly used to heat a room or area of a room, but they're really a last resort. They take up a lot of floor space and are a bit of an eyesore in an attractively decorated room. Their wires can be inconvenient, both adding to clutter and potentially tripping people in your home or office. In addition, they can easily add $30-$60 per month, per heater, to your electric bill. With all that in mind, it's easy to see why you need an alternative.

Electric floor heating systems solve many, if not all, of the problems associated with electric space heaters. Space heaters are forced air systems that heat one location, but then the heat rises and dissipates throughout the room. This means you'll either be too hot right where you are and you'll be paying a lot to heat the rest of the room, or else you won't get as warm as you'd really like to be.

An electric radiant heat system is as much as 40 percent more effective than a space heater. Because the heat is coming from the floor, it heats the objects touching the floor first and therefore "wastes" less of the heat. In addition, if you have allergies, you'll find that floor heating aggravates them less because it doesn't stir up the pollen and dander in the air.

If you aren't in the position to remodel and install permanent electric floor heating, there's a simple alternative that is absolutely fail-safe: the RugBuddy. RadiantHeatPro.com offers four different RugBuddy sizes, which can be used under an area rug on any floor surface. Whether you have stone, wood, laminate, tile, or vinyl flooring, the super-thin RugBuddy can be used to spread heat underneath your rug, warming the area without compromising the décor or taking up space.
