floor heating is one way to distribute heat around the room, next to the heating and blowing conventional radiators. Recently a lot of a view on the heating speaks and writes, so it is worth to know anything more about it.
Floor Heating can be electric or water. In the first case in floor heating cables are placed (or special heating mats.) In the second case is placed in the floor pipes through which hot water.
The first case should be treated as ordinary electric heating. Like Electric Storage allows the benefits of night tariffs because he has a rather large thermal inertia. Despite everything, however, is quite expensive.
In the second case we deal mostly with the use of hot water, which is found heat pump or condensing boiler. The heat pump works well only when hot water produces a relatively low temperature and condensing boiler to its very high efficiency is achieved only at low temperature factor.
Why underfloor heating heating agent can use a low temperature? Amount of heat transferred is calculated by multiplying the difference between the other temperatures and heat exchange area. In the case of radiators, it is quite small, equal to the surface of the radiator. In the case of floor heating is much higher, because it is the total floor area.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the human body likes warmth "from below", ie the feet. For our comfort, it is desirable to heat the floor and the cool air around the head. Therefore, under-floor heating is much more comfortable than the hot radiators.
It is worth mentioning that thanks to the warm floor gives us comfort, can be a bit lower room temperature. This in turn reduces heat loss through walls, windows and ventilation, and therefore allows for cost savings.
looks most interesting question connected to the underfloor heating heat pump. A well-designed pump may be cheaper than central heating boiler, to the smooth operation requires, however, is underfloor heating. With this type of equipment, the higher the temperature difference between the consumption of heat (heat ground) and his passing (the heating agent in the central heating), the more energy must be consumed to pump heat. This implies higher cost of ownership of the installation and therefore lower savings.
floor heating in general is a chance for savings, but is it worth it to install it yourself, everyone should have their own rate, taking into account not only costs but also other preferences.
