Make Your Home Hypoallergenic with Nuheat mats

If you have allergies or any sensitivities, you likely buy hypoallergenic products, which are specially designed not to irritate your system. If you are brining hypoallergenic products into a home with a traditional heating system, however, you may not be doing yourself much good. Most traditional heating systems are in fact very damaging to people with allergies and sensitivities, which is why may people opt for Nuheat mats. Consider:

1) If you have a weakened immune system or allergies and a forced air heating system, the air ducts of your system can harbor mold, bacteria, germs, dust, chemicals, and other allergens. Each time you heat your home, these allergens enter your breathing air. With Nuheat mats, on the other hand, the heating system installed under your floors and therefore does not harbor or blow around any allergens. This can make your home far more hygienic and can leave you much healthier.

2) If you have a traditional heating system, you may be drying out your air. Most heating systems try to heat the air by blasting extreme heat into the air. The result is dryer air, which can be a serious problem that can lead to dry hair, dry skin, and dried out and irritated sinuses. Nuheat mats do not overheat and do not attempt to heat the air. Instead, Nuheat mats work on the principle of radiant heat, meaning that they slowly warm your floor, which radiates heat to the objects and surfaces of a room. This makes you warmer and more comfortable without drying out your skin, hair, or sinuses.

3) If you have baseboard heaters or radiators, you may be burning dust and fibers each time you heat your home. Dust and other fibers gather on these heaters and then burn when the heaters are heating. This creates a toxic breathing environment that can cause serious respiratory ailments. Nuheat mats do not have any elements that overheat and since Nuheat mats are installed underneath the floors, they do not provide another surface where dust and other allergens can gather. This can be especially welcome if you are allergic to dust and always combating dust in your home. Plus, since Nuheat mats do not blow hot air around, they cannot stir up dust in your home. This means better overall air quality and health.

5) If you have a traditional heating system, you may have carpeting to compensate for drafts and cold floors. Unfrotunately, carpeting can harbor allergens, carcinogens, and many dangerous chemicals – not to mention mold and bacteria. Nuheat mats heat your floors so that you can enjoy hard surface floors – which are easy to keep clean and hypoallergenic – as well as warm floors.
