ESWA radiant heating panels

I am buying a new house that uses an unusual heating system. Apparently it is quite common in Scandanavia (eg Norway). It uses ESWA infra-red radiant panels in the ceiling. Part of the house (the bit that is a more recent extension) also has electic under-floor heating. The ESWA panels are apparently rather like the electirc heating elements in a car windscreen, and are mounted above the ceiling. Anyway, a few of them have failed. The house was originally built in 1973. The vendor told me that the panels have an expected life-time of about 25 years. I had never heard of this heating system before. Anyway, my questions are :- 1. Does anyone know where I can purchase replacements for these? I did a web search, and the only hits were in New Zealand, Canada and one in South Africa (none in Scandanavia). 2. Likely cost of replacements? 3. Any opinions/experience on these panels to share? Thanks very much Ashley Stevens I wish I knew the answer to this also. We have had it since 1968 and LOVE it! So easy and so warm! No vents, no ductwork, and the warmth feels like the sun shining on you, very cozy. However, a panel has gone out in the bath and we would love to have it repaired/replaced. |
