Is it better to use radiators or underfloor heating for home heating?

Underfloor heating is more comfortable and radiators are more economical

In some areas, when central heating is stipulated, it is not allowed to change the floor heating, and only radiators can be installed; The installation of underfloor heating will take up about 5 8cm of floor height.

1. Different working and living habits. The biggest advantage of the radiator is that it can be turned on and heated, for the ninth night.

Fifth, office workers who go out early and return late are the best choice. New landscape radiator, the whole house heats up quickly. Heating is convenient, no need to wait.

If there are permanent residents such as babies and the elderly, the demand for instant heating is not obvious, and the family needs to be heated for a long time, then it is recommended to choose floor heating, continuous warmth, and the longer it is opened, the more money it will save. Of course, large villas can directly adopt a mixed installation method, with floor heating in the living room, radiators in the bedroom, study, bathroom and other areas, so that it is more efficient to combine heating.

2. The requirements for home decoration are different. For new home renovations, underfloor heating and radiators can be installed. It needs to be carried out synchronously according to the construction progress, whether it is floor heating or radiators, the ground needs to be grooved, and the floor heating pipes or heating water pipes need to be laid and fixed.

If it is an old house to install heating, you can only choose radiators, because the paving floor heating project is large and burns money. Surface-mounted radiators are more convenient and faster.

3. The installation budget is different. For floor heating, the main choice of pipes also needs to pay attention to water collectors, thermostats, insulation auxiliary materials, etc., and the installation cost is slightly expensive. Radiators, the main selection of radiator equipment, ** and the installation fee is relatively cheap.

In terms of the cost of heating in the later stage of the two, the key depends on whether it is short-term heating or long-term heating. Long-term heating is more economical for underfloor heating, and short-term heating radiators are more economical.

1. Comfort.

Radiators are a convection-based heating method. The radiator first heats the surrounding air, so that the air forms a convection flow in the room to achieve the purpose of heating. This heating method is that the temperature around the radiator is high.

With the increase of the distance from the radiator, the temperature decreases, and the temperature difference between the same level is large. This phenomenon is especially noticeable in large rooms, where comfort is poor. Radiators are more suitable for small and medium-sized homes that need quick heating.

Office workers are more suitable for using radiators, floor heating is from the bottom to the top of the heat dissipation, the heat dissipation method is to conduct heat to the entire ground at the same time; The use of low-temperature floor heating, "warm feet and cool roof", warm and comfortable under the feet, suitable for people's body temperature requirements; The temperature is balanced, the heat dissipation is uniform, there is no wind blowing, it is not easy to produce floating dust, no noise, and it is hygienic and environmentally friendly. The temperature inside the house is balanced, so in terms of comfort, the underfloor heating is better. Underfloor heating is more suitable for large apartments and families with elderly and children.

Households that need 24-hour heating in winter prefer underfloor heating.

2. Energy-saving comparison.

Although underfloor heating needs to be heated throughout the day to ensure temperature balance, it is much more energy-efficient than radiators. This is mainly because floor heating uses low temperature radiant heat dissipation, and floor heating has the function of temperature control and temperature regulation. Although it is turned on for a long time, it consumes very little power.

Radiators dissipate heat for air convection. The water temperature is required to reach a certain height, and the radiator has no temperature control device. After the hot water is cooled, it needs to be recycled, so the energy loss is 30% higher than that of underfloor heating.

When it comes to energy saving, underfloor heating has a clear advantage. In the same case, underfloor heating has a higher energy saving than radiators.

3. Construction difficulty.

Floor heating is a concealed project, the amount of work is huge, especially the laying of floor heating pipes, to avoid the huge disaster of water leakage in the later stage, only the rough house can install floor heating heating. There are two ways to install radiators: exposed and concealed. Both methods are suitable for rough rooms.

The concealed pipeline is hidden, and the construction is slightly complicated. Renovated houses can only be installed in the open-mount way. The pipe is installed in the exposed pipe, the construction period is short, convenient, and the radiator installation is more convenient.

4. Comparison of installation.

Underfloor heating or radiators should also be considered. In general, floor heating and radiators are about the same, but in comparison, floor heating is slightly cheaper, and a system may be hundreds to thousands of dollars cheaper. Floor heating or radiator installation, it is said that the ruler has a length and an inch, and an inch is short, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, a renovated house can only be fitted with radiators. If it's a humble house, both are fine. Generally speaking, underfloor heating is more comfortable and suitable for residents with long-term elderly and children at home; The radiator heats up as soon as it is turned on, which is more suitable for urban people with a fast-paced life.

Underfloor heating is slightly cheaper.

Floor heating is better, the heating of floor heating is from the bottom to the rise, which is very in line with the traditional Chinese medicine theory of "warm feet and top cool", and the heating is uniform, which does not affect the indoor appearance and does not occupy space. You can consider installing heating tile electric floor heating, which can be divided into different times, intelligent constant temperature, does not occupy the height of the floor, does not need later maintenance, and is heated with opening and closing.

1.Heating effect: Whether it is floor heating or radiator, as long as the heat source power and the end of the room are configured sufficiently, and the installation is reasonable, the room can reach the normal demand temperature.

2.Heating rate: Floor heating needs to first heat the backfill layer (heat storage layer) and ground materials, so that the room can gradually warm up, depending on different situations, the initial heating time should be considered about 8 hours; The radiator heats the air directly, and the room can be completely warmed within 1 hour.

3.Safety and reliability: safety is mainly considered in two aspects, one is the risk of water leakage, whether it is floor heating or radiators, there are pipelines buried in the ground, at the current industry level, as long as you do not blindly use inferior pipes or non-professional construction, the probability of water leakage in concealed projects can be said to be extremely small, of course, if you have to be more real, floor heating in the underground pipeline more.

The radiator is good, the radiator is comfortable, the floor heating is uncomfortable, and the maintenance is troublesome.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The radiator is easy to repair.

Underfloor heating is trending, but construction is troublesome.

Summary. Hello dear. Underfloor heating is better than radiators.

Specifically, there are the following reasons: 1. Floor heating is more comfortable, and floor heating dissipates heat evenly, which can make the human body feel comfortable, and the feet are warm and the head is cold; 2. Floor heating is more space-saving, and the floor heating is buried under the floor, with a thickness of about five to six centimeters, which will not take up too much indoor space. 3. The service life of floor heating is longer, and the floor heating pipes and insulation materials that meet the European standards can be used for more than 50 years.

Radiators heat up faster, and good radiators start emitting heat in about ten minutes.

Hello dear. Underfloor heating is better than radiators. Specifically, there are the following reasons for the sale of the face of the tomb:

1. The floor heating is more comfortable, and the floor heating dissipates heat evenly, which can make the human body feel comfortable, the feet are warm and the head is cold; 2. Floor heating is more space-saving, and the ruler and floor heating are buried under the floor, with a thickness of about five to six centimeters, which will not take up too much indoor space. 3. The service life of floor heating is longer, and the floor heating pipes and insulation materials that meet the European standards can be used for more than 50 years. Radiators heat up faster, and good radiators start emitting heat in about ten minutes.

Advantages of underfloor heating:

1. Better comfort: Floor heating is heat from the feet, and traditional Chinese medicine calls the feet the second heart acupuncture point dense concentration area of the human body. As the saying goes, "cold is born from the feet", which can be very effective in treating people with rheumatism.

2. Relatively low operating costs: Of course, this statement has a lot to do with your use time, just like driving on the road.

Like a car, floor heating belongs to a constant speed and has been maintained at a speed, while the radiator belongs to a meeting of 60m, a meeting of 80m, and a meeting of 10m.

3. Save space; Comfortable and hygienic; High thermal stability; Long operating life (materials that can be used continuously for more than 50 years with the same life as the building building) Disadvantages: There are requirements for flooring; Occupy a certain floor height;

Advantages of radiator heating:

1.There are many styles to match; Radiator styles are often matched because there are many types, styles and colors that can be matched with any interior decoration style. Let your imagination run wild.

2.Fully functional; Fast heating (a good radiator starts to dissipate heat in about 10 minutes, and reaches the preset temperature (20 degrees plus or minus 2 degrees) in half an hour); And there is no requirement for ground materials, which can be turned on and off immediately to save time;

Disadvantages: the heating effect is not very ideal; and occupy space; Easy to raise dust (because of air convection, easy to produce dust); The service life is shorter than that of underfloor heating (the service life of radiators is generally 10 years) There are pros and cons, or it depends on your own choice.

Nowadays, radiators are rarely used, and because of the problem of power consumption, electric heating film floor heating is used.

Many consumers who have not used electric film underfloor heating subjectively believe that electric film systems are very wasteful of energy. In fact, compared with traditional heating, electric film floor heating systems do not consume so much electricity. The so-called "electric heating film electric floor heating system consumes a lot of energy", which is largely related to the building insulation structure.

When the electric heating film is heated to the required temperature, the system is in full load working state, and the required temperature is slightly different according to the different ground materials, and it is usually directly laid under the composite floor to heat up quickly, reaching 18 about 20 minutes. It is recommended that it is best not to turn on and off the power of the thermostat frequently during the season, and it is more energy-saving to let the thermostat automatically adjust the temperature.

Our electric heating film floor heating design is based on about 100 square meters, 8 hours a day, according to the actual use of the square number of the house, the electricity consumption of a day is about one kilowatt-hour.

In fact, in the actual use process, it will be more energy-saving than this, as long as it meets the energy-saving building standards stipulated by the state, the indoor insulation effect will be better, and the electricity consumption will be greatly reduced. Secondly, in the process of use, it can also achieve energy saving, such as going out for more than three days, the electric floor heating system can be kept in a low temperature operating state, and the room can not be kept in a low temperature operating state, and the consumption of electricity will be greatly reduced.

Underfloor heating and radiators are both good ways to heat your home, and which is more practical depends on which one is more suitable for you.

A comprehensive comparison of underfloor heating and radiators:

1. Comparison of heating and efficacy.

The heat dissipation of floor heating is carried out in the form of radiation, and the ground heat dissipation is relatively uniform, so the human body feels the comfortable feeling of body warmth but not anxiety, foot temperature and cold head, but the heating of floor heating is relatively slow (the heating speed of water floor heating is slower than that of electric floor heating). The heat dissipation method of the radiator is indoor air circulation convection heat dissipation, in terms of comfort, it is definitely not as good as floor heating, but the radiator heats up quickly, and it can reach the ideal temperature within half an hour.

2. Comparison of later maintenance.

Both radiators and floor heating need to lay pipes, and most of the pipes for floor heating are concentrated on the coils on the ground, so extra attention should be paid during construction. From the maintenance point of view, if the floor heating leaks (the water floor heating referred to here, the heating cable electric floor heating is another matter), the entire ground needs to be pried open to replace the pipes, the maintenance cost is high, and it is troublesome. The radiator is much more convenient, and you can change it directly.

3. Comparison of energy saving.

Compared with the radiant heat dissipation mode of radiator convection and floor heating, the thermal efficiency of floor heating is higher, because the heat of floor heating is concentrated in the height of the human body in the process of delivering heat to the human body, so the heat loss of floor heating is less. When turned on for the same time, the energy efficiency of underfloor heating is about 30% higher than that of radiators.

4. Comparison of space occupied.

The floor heating system is a hidden project, which requires the use of various leveling means, and needs to occupy the height of the house 6-8cm, which has a small impact on the spacious house, but may cause a certain depression to some houses with low floor height. Radiators do not occupy the height of the house, but they require space for them, and the pipes that connect them will affect the aesthetics.

5. Comparison of installation requirements.

The installation of underfloor heating is carried out before or together with the renovation of a new house, and it will be more troublesome to install underfloor heating in a renovated house, while the installation of radiators does not have so many restrictions. Compared to installing underfloor heating, it is much easier to pry open a real floor.

There are many friends around you who can't choose between floor heating and radiators, and Comfort 100 will answer and analyze for you. This makes it easier for you to understand that choosing the right one for you is the best.

One. Selection of cooling terminals: Comparison of underfloor heating or radiator heating.

a. Comfort comparison: floor heating is recognized as the most comfortable heating method in the world, truly achieve a uniform indoor temperature (temperature difference within 1 degree), give people a feeling of warm feet and cool heads, can promote blood circulation and metabolism, and prevent rheumatism, radiator heating indoor temperature is not as good as floor heating, heater heat, close to the radiator temperature will be higher.

b. Comparison of input costs: In the selection of the same grade of plumbing system, the initial investment cost of general floor heating is lower than that of radiator heating.

c, the comparison of energy consumption: in the same continuous system operation of the use of the case, floor heating than the radiator is more energy-saving, the reason is that the floor heating system requires the water temperature between 40 degrees and 60 degrees, the circulating water temperature in the radiator is about 60 degrees 85 degrees, the general energy consumption of floor heating is per square yuan per day, and the radiator is about 15% higher than the energy consumption of floor heating.

D. Operation characteristics: the heat speed of the radiator system is faster than the floor heating, generally open about 20 minutes to heat up and cool down quickly, suitable for office workers, go home to turn on the system to close the system, the floor heating is slower, about 3 4 hours of heating, high heat inertia, slow heating, slow cooling, suitable for long-term operation in winter, families with the elderly and children at home.

e. Service life of the system: The service life of the heat source (gas wall-hung boiler) in the whole system is about 15 years in a suitable operating environment, and the service life of the heater is about 15 years. The pipeline of the underfloor heating part includes the underground pipe part of the underfloor heating system, and the screed is integrated with the concrete, which is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, and has a service life of 50 years without maintenance, but it should be noted that:

After the heating company does a good job in the construction of the ground pipeline and presses the system engineering and installs the pressure gauge, the decoration team or decoration company must cooperate to protect the pipeline or level the ground in time.
