How do you heat your home?
Comments (19)At home, we have underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathrooms. The other rooms are still heated by electric storage heaters, which I hate as they are far too unresponsive. I'll replace them as the rooms get refurbished, one day. Nearly all of our customers now have underfloor heating, either electric or in-screed water pipes....See MoreUnderfloor heating in whole house
Comments (14)2. Why underfloor system is not the top rating? There is good thermal mass giving a long lasting for heating, less energy needs to feed as radiators. But infrared spells from this heating go directly to selling but not to lower space of premises. No good convection. Can increase blood pressure if the temperature is not acceptable for you. And another important is the surface glazed or soft (tiles, timber ect.) giving different waves maybe it's not for us. 3. Wall heating system. Same concept underfloor heating just in the walls. Benefits. Can run low and high temperatures. Can design with different angles to heat direct another surfaces true infrared spells. Wall panels never heat the selling opposite underfloor heating. Panels can plastered with clay plaster. Fits in any design. One panel can be installed between 2 rooms. Infrared radiant heat heats not just the premises, but makes a comfortable feeling for all who is alive (humans, plants ect.) The infrared rays were used from ancient times… There is no better feeling than a very cold day, sun-rays going true your body and you cannot feel the cold even if it is windy, the feeling that you get is like someone giving you more energy to your body, – this is an infrared heat. The infrared radiant heat are different, have different wavelengths, heat spectrum changes when the heat goes true different material. For example, heat passes through metal, cement bricks or concrete, natural stones, glass or clay heat spectrum are changes to different waves. The most positive human beings are accepting radiate heat from the clay. The clay has the same heat spectrum as human beings. Radiant heat from the clay stoves or any clay heaters does not only heat or provides comfort, but also has healing properties. Its the same when medics heal us through infrared.

Comments (33)Dutch 1950s house here. First thing we did was insulate insulate insulate. The exterior walls are made of 13cms thick concrete, so we used high end bubble foil and plasterboard (plus loads of slats and screws) to insulate all the walls and double layer of rockwool on the attic floor (attic remained as it was built, because the wooden structure was meant to breathe). Then took out the pine floors and insulated some more before placing the pine back. All of this diy, which I bet we've already earned back twice in the past 8 years, saving on heating bills! We also spent a small fortune on hr+ pvc windows, but the comfort (and silence) is amazing! All well worth the money. We keep our heating on 16/17C, because moist (and mold) was a major problem in here before we moved in. And when we get home/up and turn it to 19/20C, it only takes about half an our to get there. The bedroom radiators are mostly on the frost-free position. Our central heater (gas) is a model from 1994 but serves us well. So does our wood burner, which we ocassionally use in winters. Our home's footprint is 6.5x6.5m, so it takes about 5 small logs to heat our livingroom to 24 degrees, the benefits of a small home!...See MoreOld underfloor heating vs new rads
Comments (0)we have a large 4 bed bungalow which is at least 25 years old (possibly older) and has UFH installed by original owners (we’re owner #3). We bought it last year. it works ok on the whole (house is warm) but there are huge gaps between the pipes so large areas of cold spots and we have marble flooring everywhere. we’ve replaced the boiler, hot water cylinder, individual thermostats and installed new manifolds last year but our bedroom is freezing!! its not windows leaking cos weve changed them all this autumn. having called in a different heating engineer to the one that did the work last year, he says either the pipes in that room are either too few to heat it based on shat he can see on thermal camera or there are pipes that arent working in that room that cant be picked up by infra red tech. to try and isolate it to flush it clear would require an upgrade on the manifolds (more money) and even then there’s no guarantee he will find a non working pipe…so could be a waste of time and money. looks like our UFH was probably laid by an amateur hence lay out is poor in places. we could add a rad in that room but…given the age of the underfloor heating would it be better to just opt for rads everywhere and dump it to avoid future problems down the road given its age? it needs decorating throughout anyway so if we’re going to do dump it, i’d rather do it now but then part of me thinks im spending more money on heating when currently it‘s working fine if i can find a heating solution for that bedroom. what would you do please? the heating engineer is suggesting 3 options but not really advising which to do in our shoes and im round and round in circles. we plan to stay here for 10 plus years: 1. upgrade manifolds, isolate and flush pipes in bedroom to see if there’s another pipe/loop thats not working and clear it but no guarantee there is a non working pipe so that spend could be pointless and we’ll still have a problem. 2. Leave manifolds as are and add a rad to that 1 room but it will share the same thermostat as UFH so when that’s up to temp, it will turn off rad so potentially still a cold room 3. install new rads every where and decommission UFH i really would be very grateful for any advice here....See MoreNatalie Herd
