Underfloor heating is the hot name (literally) in the field of home heating and central heating.
This is by all accounts a solution that saves a lot of time and money and is considered very environmentally friendly.
Heating using this technology achieves a warm and uniform temperature throughout the space of the room, since it is based on a simple physical principle: the heat moves from the bottom up.
There are currently four main methods for installing underfloor heating in a home:
Heating with electrical technology -
heating elements produced with double-core technology that allows flow in opposite directions, and produces a balanced and balanced magnetic field in space.
Water technology heating - a
system that operates on the flow of water under the flooring of the room.
This method requires the construction and installation of infrastructure, special piping and insulation before applying the flooring solution you have chosen.
Gas heating - a
system that is connected to a gas stove that heats the water and from there the water passes to the subfloor pipes and heats the space of the room.
Diesel
heating - a
system of underfloor water pipes that receives water previously heated by a diesel stove.
At this point it is important to note that the heating and infrastructure piping can be installed under any type of floor and any cladding or flooring solution - parquet, tile, smoothed concrete.
Of course it slightly micromanages the installation, but it confers other benefits that mask it.
Price advantage
The benefits of underfloor heating and central heating are many, chief among them of course the issue of price.
The cost of operating such an electrical system is about NIS 14 per day.
Throughout the winter season, heating with this technology can save you hundreds of shekels for a small apartment and thousands of shekels for a large house, compared to other heating methods.
However, it should be noted that installing the system is relatively expensive.
For example, in a house with an area of 100 square meters, you will be charged NIS 19-23,000 for installing the system.
This is a very long-term investment (such a system lasts for decades, provided you maintain it properly) and a safety solution, as all the pipes under the floor are not in danger of burns or flares.
Also, the heating does not dry out the room like an air conditioner and it dissipates uniform heat to the entire space.
Another advantage of this technology is the ecological aspect, which in days of extreme climate change around the world is very significant.
Along with dramatic energy savings and the complete absence of the need to burn fossil fuels, in this way there is also no direct air pollution similar to the severe phenomenon created by wood-burning stoves.
In conclusion, if you want to get through the winter in peace, without the dangers of electric shock, fires or an inflated electricity bill - underfloor heating is the solution for you.
Now it only remains to check what is best for you: heating using gas, electricity or water.
