radiant heath system

[Marcel Carey]

OK, I didn't say that it was microwaves... The system is in the
ceiling and I have not seen it myself and don't know too much about
them. I was told by my client that this system is supposed to work by
heating objects and/or people in the room. I knew about the floor
heating water heating, but she said this was some kind of radiant
energy (waves of some sort). I went to a few websites mostly of
installation companies and they did mention waves (infrared ???).

Sorry for the confusion.
