Electric radiant floor heating cost to operate 10 factors

Top 10 factors affecting electric radiant floor heating cost to operate

A variety of factors affecting energy consumption, even if the same building, the cost of heating the same type of household are very different, as long as we understand the principles, we know how to save energy, why energy consumption?

01 electric radiant floor heating cost to operate - Electric floor heating technology used

Choose advanced electric underfloor heating technology. We recommend using the real graphene electric heating film floor heating which has been tested by authoritative organizations. Although it is a new technology, the market is not well known, it is really the best electric floor heating, there is no one. Comprehensive use of the monthly electricity cost is 50% less than the cost of cable floor heating. The service life is the same as the building life. Once and for all.

02 electric radiant floor heating cost to operate - Differences in house insulation

Modern buildings will basically do insulation, insulation divided into internal and external insulation, the main purpose is thermal insulation, thermal insulation, to play the effect of warm in winter and cool in summer, but not all buildings have insulation, installation and non-installation of insulation in the room, the heat loss is different, the energy consumption is even more different, in general, the room with the installation of the insulation of the heat loss is slower, the energy consumption is smaller.

03 electric radiant floor heating cost to operate - Difference in house location

According to the analysis of heat loss in all directions, if the upstairs and downstairs are inhabited and have the appropriate heating equipment, then the heat loss of the top of the room and the floor is negligible, if uninhabited, then the energy consumption is correspondingly high, especially on the ground floor and top floor

04 electric radiant floor heating cost to operate - Differences in house wall thickness

Because the wall is the main part of the heat dissipation, the thicker the wall insulation, the better, the lower the energy consumption, indoor and outdoor heat conduction is small, the same floor area, floor area and exterior wall area ratio is different, the thermal energy consumption is also different.

05 electric radiant floor heating cost to operate -Difference in window-to-wall ratio of houses

由于The thermal resistance of the wall is large, the thermal resistance of the glass window is small, the larger the area of the window, the greater the heat loss, to maintain a certain temperature in the room, the greater the energy consumption, the higher the energy consumption, and the South like large glass windows, which also leads to high energy consumption of heating in the South. In addition, the material of the glass will also affect the energy consumption, during the heating period if we see water mist or condensation on the glass window, it shows that the insulation effect of the glass window is less than ideal, the best way is to do more than one layer of vacuum glass windows.

06 electric radiant floor heating cost to operate - Difference between old and new housing

For house heating, the difference between old and new houses can be understood as the difference in the internal moisture content of the house. New houses without heating season heating, the ground wall inside contains high moisture, warming speed is slower, part of the energy consumption for water evaporation, while the old house after one or more heating season heating, the ground wall is drier, the moisture content is very low or has no moisture content, warming speed is faster.

07 electric radiant floor heating cost to operate - Housing Day/Night Differences

During the daytime irradiation, the temperature is much higher than at night, and the underfloor heating consumes less energy, while at night the temperature is lower and there is more heat loss, and more energy is consumed.

08 electric radiant floor heating cost to operate - Outdoor temperature difference

One of the three ways of heat transfer “heat conduction”, from high temperature to low temperature, when the floor heating system works, the greater the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, the greater the heat loss, the higher the energy consumption. Heating season outdoor temperature below 0 degrees and above 0 degrees, the external wall of the house is not the same as the external heat dissipation, energy consumption is naturally not the same, a common understanding is that the lower the outdoor temperature, the floor heating to reach the set temperature the longer the working time, the higher the energy consumption.

09 electric radiant floor heating cost to operate - Difference in room temperature

The best indoor temperature in the heating season in between 18-20 degrees Celsius, is the most comfortable temperature for the human body, based on the floor heating every 1 degree up, the greater the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, the more thermal energy to be consumed, the energy consumption will be increased by 5% -10%. If the indoor temperature is too high, it will affect the body’s own thermoregulation function, resulting in a rise in body temperature, blood vessel expansion, accelerated heart rate, endocrine disorders, etc.

10 electric radiant floor heating cost to operate - Thermostat Intelligent Setting Differences

Underfloor heating thermostat basically has reached remote, zoning, time, room control, according to the family’s living habits can be set in different areas of the temperature, such as the elderly room 22 degrees, children’s room 20 degrees, 18 degrees in the public area , the public area can be adjusted to 16 degrees at night when you sleep, etc., can be utilized to create a more energy-efficient effect of the peaks and valleys of the power time, if you will not be able to manipulate the thermostat , then the effect of the energy consumption will not be the same.
