For a country where the winter lasts a total of four months a year we would expect the heating options to be limited and really not varied.

But a quick glance at the specialty stores and chains reveals a wealth of designed heating solutions that do not embarrass a cold country in the Arctic.

How to heat the space of the house is one of the main questions that arise in the planning and design of the house.

There is no single answer to this, but a set of parameters that vary according to the size of the house or apartment and their geographical location.

To this must be added installation costs, operating and maintenance costs and ease of use.

The air conditioner is the most common means of heating in the country, the advanced air conditioners have high energy efficiency that allows saving electricity along with dispersion and maintaining a uniform temperature in the room.

At the same time it is important to take into account that despite the latest technology that makes them quieter and more designed air conditioners can still dry the air, which still tends to be dry in winter.

Each area of ​​the house is suitable for a different type of heating and therefore spot heating is the most significant energy saving.

Surprising as it may sound but here too the selection is great.

Gas, wood or electricity?

Fireplaces have become one of the most popular means of heating a home, mainly due to their ambience. There are a variety of options also within this category: fireplaces that are powered by wood, gas or electricity. And also in this field there are innovations all the time, especially when it comes to energy efficiency and its impact on the environment. There are innovative fireplaces in green technologies that can heat spaces up to 30 square meters and create the appearance of burning flames, without soot or dirt and without pollution. These fireplaces are also safer, and this is also a consideration in some homes - especially those where small children live

. Design styles and colors, these stoves are safe to use and combine innovative technologies that allow energy and environmentally friendly savings.The stoves like fireplaces can be controlled and controlled remotely thanks to WiFi interfacing with a smart and friendly app that allows you to switch on and off;

Other spot heaters are the various heat dissipators, the heating pads that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the old spiral heaters, the halogen and infrared heaters. These have somewhat lost some of their popularity in favor of more efficient, cost-effective and safer solutions.

In contrast, the radiator, which also functions as a spot heater and has been familiar to all of us since we were little, is being revitalized. Aside from the fact that it is considered a safe home heating medium, it gets innovative designs that really do not look like the old-fashioned-looking radiators we remember from our childhood rooms. For example, you can find radiators in a variety of designs and even colors.

The uniqueness of these devices is in the design that corresponds with the color block trend and fits well into any visual concept: the radiator is made of corrugated plate, used as a kind of canvas, on which any desired style can be embedded, from blending with the wall to creating a colorful contrast or any decoration. The braces can be hung in a horizontal or vertical position, which also includes an option for a towel rack.

You can activate it by pressing from the mobile.
