With the continuous improvement of living standards, floor heating, which is more beautiful and more space-saving, has been welcomed by many users. Many new buildings and residential buildings have begun to use floor heating for heating. However, in the choice of heating method, there are some disputes over whether it is water or electricity. Join us to find out!
Electric heating or water heating is better
1. Electric floor heating
Electric floor heating is the heating cable with the upper allowable working temperature of 65℃ on the outer surface buried in the floor. The heating cable is used as the heat source to heat the floor, and the room temperature or floor temperature is controlled by the temperature controller to realize the heating mode of radiant ground heating.
The advantage of electric floor heating is that it is maintenance-free and does not need cleaning. There is no additional cost to replace the thermostat during the 50-year service period. 10 years warranty, such as quality problems, can not be repaired, can be reinstalled and responsible for the floor decoration materials. Electric heating is the same brand, after the problem, you can directly complain to the manufacturer, after-sales is more guaranteed. But it also has the obvious disadvantage of not providing domestic hot water.
2. Water and floor heating
Water heating is a heating method that uses hot water with a temperature not higher than 60℃ as the heat medium, circulates in the heating pipe buried in the filling layer below the ground, heats the whole floor, and heats the room through the ground in the way of radiation and convection heat transfer.
The advantage of water-floor heating is that it can provide domestic hot water. But the boiler has a service life of 12 to 15 years, and the diversity collector has a service life of 6 to 8 years, so at least 3 boilers, 6 diversity collectors, and other accessories will have to be replaced in 50 years. Increase later acquisition and installation costs. If the boiler is broken, the floor heating and domestic hot water can not be used, in case the underground water pipe leaks, the consequences are serious.
How to choose electric floor heating and water floor heating
Floor heating is not used for a year or two, it is recommended that the owner choose floor heating should take long-term consideration.
First, in terms of comfort, the two are similar.
Second, the pre-installation cost of electric heating is slightly higher than that of water heating. But electric heating without late cleaning and replacement of the boiler, more worry.
Third, electric floor heating can be divided into time room control heating, water heating is not. In the use of electric heating is more convenient than water heating.
Fourth, from the perspective of energy, electricity is clean energy, relatively clean. Coal and natural gas have the upward trend, electric heating relative to water heating is still promising, which is the choice of floor heating must be considered.
Above is the floor heating electricity heating or water heating good introduction, I hope to help you.
