Here’s a product that may help you save on your heating bill and add to your home’s decor. We all know that heating a home or business can be very costly, both monetarily and in the amount of fossil fuels we burn. One company, Prestyl USA, markets an efficient, eco-friendly and elegant solution to this problem – Far-Infrared heating.

Far-Infrared heating technology has already been useful in heating everything from houses and offices to ships and trains. Prestyl manufactures products in the form of printed art pieces (photo above) and ceiling modules that incorporate a French thin-film technology that works to heat floors, walls and furniture. The savings in energy usage can range anywhere from 15 to 50%, depending on building dimensions and film placement.

Other advantages: units are made from recycled material, are fully recyclable, easy to install – like hanging a picture – and decorative. They take up very little space, plug into a standard wall outlet and are maintenance free throughout their very long life cycle. Panels come in black or white and can be customized in any color, or with any image – even a brand image or advertisement.

Units range in price from $350 – $700.
