Building or renovating? How to choose the right electric heating
Are you building or planning a major renovation? Then you will need to think carefully about which heating technique will offer the best solution. Thanks to innovative techniques, electric heating is now anything but an energy drain. Also, there is a significant chance that we are all moving towards fully electric heating, with or without the support of a heat pump or solar panels. We will provide inspiration for creating the ideal interior climate in your new or renovated home.
Building and heating: with or without renewable energy?
To heat your home in the most ecological and cost-effective way, you should choose low temperature heating. Energy consumption is around 30% lower than traditional heating and your CO2 emissions will reduce too. Heating oil or natural gas are not attractive options for the long term as they rely on a finite supply of raw materials. Integrate green energy into your heating system, with solar panels or a heat pump, for really environmentally-friendly heating.
Underfloor heating with extra heating
Underfloor heating is a cost-effective way to heat your home, as this type of heating works best at lower temperatures. For ideal heating comfort, additional electric heating provides a great boost to your underfloor heating.
Calculate the required heating output
If you choose electric heating, you must carefully calculate the necessary radiator output in advance. You must do this for each individual room; after all, you probably want your bedroom to be cooler than your bathroom. Are radiators the main heating or just top-up heating? This also influences the choice of the most suitable radiators.
The best solution for the ideal interior climate
The right electric heating varies for each home but we can generally say that a combination is the key to success. Combine your underfloor heating with extra electric heating and integrate renewable energy into the heating system. This allows you to create a sustainable electric heating system.
