Radiant heating system
Radiant heating systems work based on radiant heat transfer and deliver heat directly to the house's floor, wall panels, or roof.
This heating system sends heat directly from the hot surface to people and objects in the room using infrared radiation.
When you are in a building with a radiant heating system, you feel the heat of a hot element throughout the room.
If radiant heating is placed on the floor of the house, it is often called radiant floor heating or floor heating.
The radiant heating system is more efficient than old heating systems, such as forced air heating. The desired heating method eliminates duct losses.
If you suffer from allergies, it is better to use radiant heating because it does not spread allergens like forced air systems.
The hydronic (liquid-based) systems use little electricity. So, it is a good choice for houses outside the electricity grid or areas with high electricity prices.
Hydronic systems can use a wide variety of energy sources to heat the liquid, including standard gas or oil-fired boilers, wood-fired boilers, solar water heaters, or a combination of these sources.
Advantages of radiant heating systems
- It eliminates fan noise and temperature changes related to forced air systems.
- Since this system does not spread allergenic substances such as particles, dust and mould, it is a good choice for regulating the temperature in different areas and rooms of the house.
- It does not have inappropriate ducts, vents and grills.
- It increases the value of the property.
Are radiant heating systems more economical?
The combustion efficiency of the radiant heating system is about 80% and consumes less electricity.
The cost of installing hydronic heating systems is 40% lower than traditional systems.
However, hydronic systems have a high start-up cost because you have to buy a boiler.
For maximum cost savings, electric radiant heating panels can be zoned for individual rooms or wired to motion detectors so that rooms are heated only when occupied.
Installing a radiant heating system requires sufficient expertise and knowledge. The experienced experts of CrossRiver will help you to get the best heating system at the lowest cost.
