Tyco MI Electric Cable
Mineral Insulated (MI) electric cable is buried in the sand beneath concrete floors. As the cable is activated during periods of lowest electrical demand (usually at night), the sand and concrete are heated. Then, the stored heat is slowly released over the next day to warm your home. Because the system is charged during low demand periods, you can take advantage of Dakota Electric's lowest rates, resulting not only in safe, comfortable heating, but in substantial savings as well.
