Solar Underfloor Heating |
Under floor heating was first used by the Romans whose homes were constructed with gaps, through which air warmed by an open fire, would pass, heating the building. The first under floor heating systems developed in the UK used electric heating elements buried within floor screeds. These were heated over night using 'cheap rate' electricity. That method is expensive and does not allow you to properly control the heating in a building.Modern, solar under floor heating systems has made it possible to reduce energy consumption by using low water temperatures.
Over 70% of the average household’s energy use goes into space and water heating, so a source of free hot water to use instead of commercial energy can make a dramatic financial saving. Solar Heating is the renewable technology of choice for most households as it offers a quicker payback. Solar heating can be used to heat your whole home all year round.
Compared to traditional radiators, Solar underfloor heating heats your home in a more effective way. Heat rises from the floor and cools at around head height meaning that your feet are kept warm and your head cool and is constant throughout your room. Solar underfloor heating is invisible and maintenance free, with no space-consuming radiators, there is no noise, wet floors dry very quickly and it has been proven that energy saving from 20-40% can be achieved. it requires only low temperature hot water and is ideal for use with modern condensing boilers... |
