Which types of home heating is better for you?

Every winter, people are most concerned about the topic of "home heating", such as "what are the heating methods?", "which heating equipment is better?", "how to choose heating equipment?" and so on.

There is actually three mainstream heating equipment on the market: floor heating, radiator, and air conditioner. Which one is better? For home use, which one should I choose? Today, let's talk about these issues.

Floor heating can be said to be the most mainstream domestic heating equipment at present. It is hidden and installed under the floor. It is mainly divided into water floor heating and electric floor heating.

Water floor heating, the full name is "gas wall-hung boiler floor heating coil system", composed of wall-hung boilers, manifolds, floor heating pipes and thermostats, accessories, and auxiliary materials. After the water is heated, it will be transported to the underground through the manifold In the coil, the heat radiation is then radiated to the ground for heating.

Electric floor heating does not require wall-hung boilers and manifolds, just like wires buried in the wall. After the electric floor heating is energized, the wire heating cables buried under the ground will heat up and transfer heat to the outside.

In addition to floor heating, radiators are also more mainstream heating equipment. According to the different installation methods, radiators can be divided into exposed installation and concealed installation. According to the type, they can be divided into water injection and water injection radiators. It is divided into two types: add water, plug in and use, and use wall-hung boilers or collective heating to boil water.

At present, the mainstream radiator is a water injection radiator. Heating rods and wall-hung boilers heat the water in the radiator, and the hot water radiates the heat to the surroundings.

Air conditioners, I believe everyone is familiar with them. Nowadays, all air conditioners on the market are "heating and cooling air conditioners", which can not only cool but also heat. The heating principle of the air conditioner is the same as the refrigeration principle. It mainly relies on the combination of the compressor, heat exchanger (evaporator, condenser) and refrigerant (refrigerant) of the air conditioner to realize heat transfer.

Most of the air conditioners on the market have an "electric auxiliary heating" function. When heating, the heating element built in the air conditioner will be heated, and when the heating is blown out, the heating element will first heat up.

Floor heating, radiator, air conditioner, these three types of heating equipment, the heating methods are very different, the characteristics are different, each has its own advantages and disadvantages:

Comfort comparison: floor heating＞radiator＞air conditioning

You know, the heat rises from the bottom up. If the floor heating is installed and people step on the floor barefoot, the floor heating will give people a bottom-up warmth, and the whole body will be warmer.
