ENERJOY PEOPLEHEATERS® Specifications requirements:
Nominal sizes: 1’ increments up to 2’ in width and 8’ in length, 1" thick.
Models: RP-(rear wired); RPD- (surface wired).
Voltages: -1 (277v), -2 (240v), -3 (208v), -4 (120v).
Nominal Wattage: 50 Watts per square foot.
Radiant Output: 95% of input power.
Extension Ring for Installation: 2 1/8"x 4"x 1 ½" (such as Thepitt #592)
Bid Specifications:
The ENERJOY® radiant heating panel shall be constructed of insulated Solid State Heating element. The element shall be backed with one-inch thick, high density, odorless fiberglass board, faced with a white fine textured aluminum face and framed in aluminum. Panels shall reach the full surface temperature in five minutes. Radiant output shall be 95% of input energy. Panels shall be listed under UL Standard 2021 – Fixed and Location-Dedicated Electric Room Heaters. Panel shall meet or exceed FHA/HUD Minimum Property Standards.
Design Guidelines
1- Determine panel size by selecting a balanced combination of
Enerjoy PEOPLEHEATERS to cover 10% of the ceiling surface.
2- Design symmetrical Heatmodule placement in the same way you locate lights to illuminate a room, recognizing areas of high heat loss and special comfort areas.
3- Take full advantage of the broad dispersion of radiant energy emanating at up to an 80° angle from the Heatmodule surface. It is all right to over size by using identical heatmodules to attain symmetry even though the sizing chart calls for unequal or smaller units. ( the sizing increase or decrease determines cycle frequency - how quick the thermostat setpoint is satisfied.)
Rule-of-Thumb for calculating the
quantity and size of the panels for your application
suggested for an 8' ceiling:
- Select a geometrically pleasing design..
Allow a 2’ to 4’ setoff from exterior walls.
- Figure approximately two times the setoff distance between heat modules

Wiring Note: Existing 20 amp 120V lighting circuits may serve Enerjoy 1 Heatmodules
Insulation note: Insulate floor above basement or crawl space.
Additional Guidelines:
Supplemental Heating: basements and super-insulated houses – Use (1) 24RP for each 100 square feet of space – approx. 3-4 W/SF
Cathedral ceilings or 14’ ceilings:
For 12’ peak (avg. 10’), increase heat
panel area by 25% (Example, use 28 RP instead of 26 RP)
For 16’ peak (avg. 12’), increase heat
panel area by 50%
Split-Level: add one watt per square foot
Fireplaces, sliders or skylights: add one watt per square foot.
Replace Old, Inaccurate Bimetal Thermostats
Always install new, accurate ENERJOY TSSHC-2 radiant sensing thermostats with ENERJOY PEOPLEHEATERS. Other electric heat thermostats generally are calibrated based upon maximum load. The temperature cycle range is uncomfortable and wastes energy because occupants choose a higher set point in their quest for comfort.
ENERJOY thermostats have a 1° F temperature differential, are sealed against corrosion, totally silent, and are available in both light {TSSHC-2L (<8 amp)} and heavy {TSSHC-2H(>8 amp)} load calibration. Light-sensing, programmable, automatic setback and tamperproof thermostats are available.
WIRING NOTE:
The low amperage requirements for ENERJOY PEOPLEHEATERS can usually be provided by existing 120 or 240 Volt circuits. The 30%-70% wattage reduction over convection electric heating eliminates the need for dedicated wiring. Wherever a single ENERJOY heatmodule is specified, existing 120-Volt capacity circuit is usually adequate for the additional load.


INSTALLATION of the multi-sized panels is as easy as

Painting, over spraying with water base paint or acoustical material, or
framing creates the desired aesthetic effect.
Penetrable Surface Mounting (sheetrock) (Fig. 1)-(check for
bag of hole plugs)
Insert installer provided screw/anchor assembly into the ceiling, and tighten into place. Insert plastic caps to close frame screw holes.
