radiator
Advantages:
The cost of radiator is much lower than that of floor heating and other heating methods; Generally installed on the wall and other positions, simple and convenient maintenance; The radiator heats up quickly, and it can reach the preset temperature in about half an hour, and it can be stopped when used; Can dry clothes and shoes, can be installed in the bathroom as a towel rack and heating.
Disadvantages:
The temperature of radiator rises really fast, and the way of air circulation and convection heat dissipation is more comfortable than air conditioning and lower than floor heating. Radiators are not like floor heating. The temperature on the surface of the house is the same. The heating temperature of radiator is uneven. The closer they get, the higher the temperature. Far away, it is not warm. The radiator has a certain volume and will occupy some indoor space. After the radiator is installed, the pipes exposed to the wall will affect the overall beauty of the room.
Underfloor heating
Advantages:
The heated hot air naturally rises without air agitation, which is not easy to cause dirty air convection, and the indoor air is cleaner; The ground with warm floor and concrete floor have strong heat storage capacity. In the case of intermittent heating, the indoor temperature changes slowly and feels natural, and there will be no discomfort caused by excessive temperature rise. The heat loss during transmission is small, saving about 20% energy compared with other heating equipment; Floor heating and insulation layer, sound insulation effect is very good; No radiator and branch pipes occupy space, which indirectly increases the use area of the room and is convenient for decoration and furniture layout.
Disadvantages:
Floor heating is a concealed project and difficult to maintain. When decorating, materials with good pressure resistance, temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and thermal stability should be selected. The floor heating system needs to occupy about 5-6 cm high (different insulation materials and floor heating pipes are selected, and different construction schemes and methods have different effects on the floor height), which has a great impact on houses with lower floors. Floor heating is low temperature heating, which is slower than air conditioning and radiator, and the installation process is more complicated. Suitable for all-day opening, so floor heating is more suitable for home users who have people at home for a long time.
Energy consumption: floor heating and radiator
All-weather heating: floor heating is more energy-saving than radiator. If someone is at home, it needs 24-hour heating. Radiators consume more gas than floor heating, and installing floor heating is more energy-saving. Intermittent heating: it is more cost-effective to use radiators. When they are turned on and off, the temperature rises rapidly. Floor heating is thermally inert and generally takes 4 hours to reach the set temperature. The radiator doesn't need to be on for 24 hours, and the gas consumption will be less than that of the floor heating that is on all day.
Health: floor heating VS radiator
When heating the floor, you should choose a safe and reliable floor, and the release of harmful substances from the purchased composite floor should be within the scope of national safety standards. If the floor pavement area is large, under the influence of high temperature of geothermal materials, it is very likely to increase or accelerate the formaldehyde pollution index of the floor, and it is also very important to choose a safe floor. If you buy a new house at home, you can choose the heating form of floor heating or concealed radiator when decorating the blank house. For a long time, old people and children at home suggested choosing floor heating, slow heating and cool roof. The radiator heats up as soon as it is turned on, which is more suitable for urbanites with fast pace of life. If it is a house that has been renovated or has lived for a long time, it is recommended to choose a heating method with exposed radiators, which has a short construction period and is convenient and fast.
The above is Bian Xiao's detailed answer about which one saves money, floor heating or radiator. I wonder if you are satisfied with our introduction.
