Heating is one of the biggest expenses we have to incur when maintaining a house. So it is worthwhile to plan the heating system well and adapt it to our needs in the best possible way.
Renewable energy sources - saving and ecology
Increasing awareness of climate change and rising fuel prices are fueling a turn to heating with renewable energy sources. One of the most popular choices are heat pumps. They extract energy from the environment. They then transform it, and then transport and transfer the heat to the heating system. To operate, the pump needs electricity. So it's worth combining it with another both ecological and economical choice, which is a photovoltaic installation. Photovoltaic panels harness the sun's energy. They then convert it into electricity. When using a combination of photovoltaics and a heat pump, the demand for electricity is at least three times less. This is because the pump does not heat with electricity, but uses it to extract heat energy from the environment.
Not just a radiator
Underfloor heating offers us comfort and a temperature distribution that is beneficial to our well-being. It heats the entire room very well and evenly. True, it heats up more slowly, but it also cools down more slowly. We can choose between water or electric underfloor heating. In the water version, pipes are installed through which water heated by a boiler or heat pump flows. Electric underfloor heating, on the other hand, consists of mats, wires or resistance foils that emit heat under the flow of electricity.
Water heating
When choosing the right type of heating must also take into account how we will supply our home with hot water. A way to supply hot water in an energy-efficient way is a water heater. They allow you to quickly get the right temperature. The small size of the heaters saves space under the sink. An additional advantage is the ease of their installation. Another option is a gas boiler. Gas is a relatively cheap and environmentally friendly source of heating and hot water. A condensing gas boiler is convenient to use. The dual-function version also takes up very little space, so no special room is needed for its installation.
Appearance also counts
Cold winter evenings spent by the fireplace with hot tea and a good book are a dream for many of us. A fireplace combines both the heating function and gives the interior a cozy feel. We can choose from open fireplaces, closed fireplaces with inserts, tiled fireplaces or bio fireplaces. When choosing, remember to match the right chimney, which will allow you to use the fireplace without problems. Also, the heater does not have to be only a functional element. On the market today there are models that stand out for their unique design, which makes the radiator can also be a decoration. Manufacturers offer models in different colors and equipped with lighting or a mirror, as well as with the possibility of personalization. With such a diverse design, everyone can find a unique radiator to match their interior.
