Why Upgrade To Hydronic Underfloor Heating
Wall-mounted radiators could be impacting more than just your energy bill
A radiator based central heating system works primarily by creating convection currents of hot air, supplemented by some radiated heat. This convection results in the floor being the coolest part of the room and leaves a mass of warm air at ceiling level. This of course means that much of the energy which has been put into the room is wasted and not in the area you want it to be.
Not only that, but in using a convection method of air displacement, radiators also pick up fine dust from the floor, distributing it into the air and over your furnishings. Wet underfloor heating systems heat your home in a different manner, maintaining better air-quality.
Water underfloor central heating gives invisible warmth which is ideal for modern living, giving clean interior design and maximum usable wall space. As there are no hot surfaces underfloor central heating is safer and cleaner than radiator systems with dust and air movement minimised.
How It Works For Homes
Wet underfloor heating reduces the energy lost through heating your home
Unlike radiators, hydronic underfloor central heating systems work primarily by heat radiation supplemented by some convection. This radiant heat allows you to experience warmth at a lower air temperature.
Ground-up heating has a very positive effect on the relative humidity of the room, making it feel more comfortable than air heating. But that’s not the only reason why floor heating is the most comfortable form of temperature control. Wet underfloor heating evenly warms your entire floor, so cold spots and draughts are now things of the past.
Cost Efficient Heating Solutions
Hydronic underfloor heating leads to a lower energy bill
Wet underfloor heating is particularly good for it’s energy-saving credentials. Between the even distribution of temperature and the lower water temperature, your energy efficiency will increase, saving you up to 15% on your bills compared to other heating systems.
And all this without having to lose any comfort at all.
