In recent days, the temperature has dropped suddenly, and the heating equipment at home has come in handy. For decorators, what heating equipment to install in winter is often the most tangled.
As the hottest floor heating, it has been sought after by people in the past few years, but with the emergence of various heaters, the opposition to floor heating is becoming stronger and stronger. As someone who has used floor heating for 5 years, let me say a few fair words!
First of all, the opposition to the installation of underfloor heating in the family, generally because of the following points.
1.High installation costs
The installation cost of floor heating is higher than that of other heating equipment, and the cost of materials alone is about 300 yuan per square meter. Coupled with the installation cost, it is a large expense.
2.Long heating time
Underfloor heating is achieved by heating the ground through hot water pipes or heating wires under the floor, and then radiating heat from the ground to achieve heating, so it takes a certain amount of time to heat up, usually it needs to be turned on for several hours or even longer to reach the ideal temperature.
In contrast, some other heating equipment such as electric heaters, traditional radiators, etc., can quickly heat up in a relatively short period of time to achieve the heating effect of instant heating. As a result, underfloor heating takes a long time to heat up, which may be inconvenient or uncomfortable for users.
3.It has an effect on the height of the floor
Underfloor heating requires laying pipes under the floor, which increases the height of the ground by about 5-7 cm. For some low-rise houses, the installation of underfloor heating may further reduce the clear height of the room, which may affect the comfort of the occupants.
4.Furniture deformed
When the floor heating is heated, the indoor temperature will rise, causing the moisture in the furniture to evaporate, which will cause problems such as deformation and cracking of the furniture.
Secondly, the high temperature will make the formaldehyde release in the furniture more positive, which may be the health of the family. Therefore, when choosing to use floor heating, you need to consider the material and quality of the furniture, and avoid using wooden furniture that is easy to be deformed by heat.
Professional maintenance is required: Floor heating needs to be maintained and maintained by professionals, otherwise it will affect the use effect and life.
5.Troublesome repairs
As a kind of concealed heating equipment, the pipes and equipment are installed under the floor or in the wall, which is not easy to carry out daily maintenance and maintenance. Once there is a problem, you have to spend money to ask the master to see the floor heating equipment is broken, and even dig it out for repair, which costs money and energy.
6.Prone to dust
Floor heating belongs to the downdraft, after the room gradually becomes dry, the dust will become lighter and float in the air, too dry is easy to cause respiratory diseases. Therefore, it is usually best to use it with a humidifier.
So, after understanding the shortcomings of floor heating, do ordinary people still need to install floor heating?
1.From the comfort point of view
From the point of view of comfort, the floor heating starts from the feet, and the comfort is the best, and the electric heater heats up the fastest, but the heating is uneven, and the comfort of the radiator is moderate.
2.From an aesthetic point of view
Compared with radiators and other heaters that will occupy a certain amount of space, floor heating is the best, buried directly in the ground, beautiful and space-saving. And if it is a radiator, it is easy to blacken the wall, which is an eyesore to look at.
3.From the point of view of the cost of use
Floor heating has the largest heating area and the highest natural use cost, but the heating effect is far ahead.
To sum up, if the family is high and low, do not want to bear thousands of yuan of heating costs every month, the area is not minus dozens of degrees, just use ordinary heaters or radiators, if it is the northern region, it is the best to use floor heating!
