Basement Remodeling is Easy with
ENERJOY® Radiant Heat
Heat your basement easily, comfortably and quietly while saving 30% to 50% on energy costs with ENERJOY Radiant Ceiling Panels.
Here’s why ENERJOY Radiant Heat is the best heat for any basement:
- No duct work.
- No noise, no dust, no odors, no cold blow.
- Energy-efficient....uses only 3-5 watts per square foot. (Compare that to other systems!)
- Quick response time.
- Full use of floor space.
- Ceiling mounted panels are perfect for areas where flooding is a problem...an excellent solution for basements or lower levels where code doesn’t permit baseboard systems.
Not only do ‘green’ ENERJOY Heat Panels save energy but they are fully recyclable, have a low carbon footprint and, since the panels draw low wattage, they are ideal partners for wind and solar energy sources.
Installing ENERJOY Radiant Panels is simple. The heaters flush-mount to the ceiling. Or, for dropped ceilings, use the t-bar grid style panels. All panels install as easily as a light fixture and are controlled by a wall thermostat.
ENERJOY ceiling-mounted panels are 99% radiant which means less than a 1% heat loss compared to other systems with convective components such as baseboard heaters, wall heaters or floor heaters. Thermal heat transfer from radiant ceiling panels is 99% efficient; heat transfer from wall or floor room heaters is only about 50% efficient and thereby results in about a 50% heat loss. The end result: more comfort and greater energy savings with Enerjoy Radiant Heat.
With ENERJOY, you can set your thermostat 5 degrees lower than you are used to and still be comfortable!
How Much Heat Do I Need for My Basement?
ENERJOY Heat Panels are sized based upon the dimensions, ceiling height, insulation values, flooring of your basement space. As a guideline, use the reference table below for each room in basement:
For example, for a 100 square foot basement located in New England with an 8 foot ceiling and 1 slider, a sample sizing is indicated in RED

Additional Hints in Designing a Comfortable Basement:
- Cement floors are a great source of heat loss as the cement absorbs rather than reflects heat. If possible, try to cover your cement slab floor with carpeting or wood flooring.
- Insulate the walls where possible. This will save on energy bills regardless of what type of heating system you use.
- For windows and glass sliders, use high R-value products, such as thermopane.
