What options does Runtal offer?
Runtal Radiators offers a variety of systems such as Hydronic (Hot Water), Electric, and Steam. Runtal provides a selection of placements for your home like baseboard, wall panels, or even specialty made-to-order units to perfectly fit the space and atmosphere of your home.
The radiators welded steel construction helps emit heat faster and more efficiently as it doesn't take as much time or water to reach the desired temperature. The steel construction also helps them cool down faster allowing for better temperature fluctuation.
Hydronic (Hot Water)
These radiators operate on a closed-loop hydronic heating system. This means after the water is heated from the boiler and used, it is recirculated back to the boiler. This helps the boiler and radiator run at a higher efficiency, providing a blanket of warmth throughout your home. These units also run quietly with no crackling like those old cast iron radiators. The different sizes and styles make them adaptable for any room in your living space.
ElectriC
Runtal also features a series of electric radiators. The electric options are made up of the same welded steel as the hydronic models and come in different voltages. The electric model offers clean electric heat solutions in baseboard, wall panel, or towel radiators to fit the space and functionality of your home.
Steam
Steam radiators are available for one and two pipe systems. Whether you want to replace your current radiators or add a new system, steam radiators can do the trick. By using a boiler to turn water to steam, these systems then circulate the steam through the pipes to heat the home. As the steam cools, it condenses back to water and returns to the boiler to be recirculated. The radiators' steel construction ensures efficiency and longevity as it guards against corrosion.
