All mechanical components, including the single moving part (the fan), are contained within the furnace box, which sits flush with the insulated slab surface and is easily accessible.
Simple to Install & Economical:
The closed loop pipe system does not require cleaning or maintenance. The air pipes do not have the leakage risks of a water system. There is no limit to the lifetime of the pipe system.
The fan and the heating unit are installed in the closed system with easy access. This allows for ideal operating conditions during the lifespan of the heating unit. Should there be a need for servicing, the unit can be easily repaired or replaced.
The low entry height of a slab on grade and the heated floor make the Legalett GEO-Slab system very convenient for the physically challenged as well as for small children and infants.
The heat storage system is advantageous in the event of a power outage. Due to the slab’s ability to store energy, it can release its large store of heat over a long period of time.
As soon as concrete is poured, a Legalett Construction Heater can be connected to the pipe-heating system. This effectively dries out the slab evenly, a process that can continue throughout the construction period. In addition to extending the construction season, this has advantages for the entire building process. Painting and floor laying can be carried out at an earlier stage than with conventional construction methods. (Traditional building heaters need not be used in cold weather.)
