The advantages and disadvantages of electric floor heating and water floor heating-comparison of comprehensive performance of electric floor heating and water floor heating

In most people's impression, the concept of 'home heating' is mostly delineated on air conditioners, heat sinks, and electric heating films. With the changes of the times, the history of home heating is constantly undergoing qualitative evolution. Every leap is a new milestone. When 'comfort', 'health', 'low carbon' and 'environmental protection' become the new synonym for home improvement nowadays, floor heating is convenient. Become the first choice of fashion for quality life.

　　 Floor heating is divided into water floor heating and electric floor heating. Both electric floor heating and water floor heating belong to low-temperature radiant heating. They are both comfortable heating methods. The difference is their heat source and the system design is slightly different. Comfort 100 will comprehensively compare the advantages and disadvantages of electric floor heating and water floor heating from various perspectives such as initial investment, installation, use, and later maintenance.

　 The advantages and disadvantages of electric floor heating and water floor heating-water floor heating advantages

Water floor heating uses low-temperature hot water not higher than 60℃ as the heat medium. The floor is heated by the heating pipes embedded in the floor, and the heat is evenly radiated to the room. It is a partial energy heating system that adjusts the room microclimate. . Where the floor is laid: the floor height occupied by plumbing is 6-8cm; where the floor tiles are laid: the floor height occupied by plumbing is 4-5cm. The advantages are as follows:

　　 1. The gas stove for heating can solve the domestic water problem at the same time, so there is no need to spend extra money to buy a water heater

　　 2. If the heating area is large, the heating time is long, the installation cost is low, and the later use cost is also low

　　3. There is no safety worry about radiation

　　4, lower operating costs

　 Advantages and disadvantages of electric floor heating and water floor heating-disadvantages of water floor heating

　　 1. The initial investment of the gas stove is relatively large, and it is a bit uneconomical if it is laid in a small area

　　2, occupies 2cm more layer height than electric heating

　　3, the heat transfer rate is slower than electric heating

　　4. The boiler needs maintenance, descaling, and the ground water pipe needs to be cleaned, all of which need to be spent 　

    The advantages and disadvantages of electric floor heating and water floor heating-electric floor heating advantages

Electric floor heating uses electricity as energy, heating cables or other materials as heating elements, converts 97% of electrical energy into heat, and uses the ground inside the building as a heat dissipation surface. While heating the surrounding air through convection The maintenance structure performs radiant heat exchange to ensure that the room temperature of the building meets the comfort requirements, and the heating method is in line with ergonomics. Where the floor is laid: the floor height of electric heating is 4-5cm; where the floor tile is laid: the floor height of the electric heating is 2-3cm. The advantages are as follows:

　　 1. The laying cost is basically only related to the area, and it is more convenient to lay in a small area, which is convenient for decoration and placement of furniture

　　2, the occupied floor height is 2cm less than plumbing

　　3, the heat transfer rate is faster than the water heating

　　 4. The heating cable is a clean energy source, no pollution

　　5. The electric floor heating system can adjust the room temperature with a thermostat

　 Advantages and disadvantages of electric floor heating and water floor heating-disadvantages of electric floor heating

　　 1. There may be radiation problems. If you use electric heating, you must pay attention to the radiation detection data provided by the merchant. Generally, the radiation of well-known brand electric heating is within the human body's ability to withstand

　　2. The use of electricity as an energy source is generally more suitable for small-area floor heating schemes due to the influence of the rated current of electric heating household meters

　　3, the operating cost is relatively high

    The advantages and disadvantages of electric floor heating and water floor heating-common advantages

　　 1. The room temperature is evenly distributed. Because the entire floor dissipates heat evenly, the temperature difference in the room is extremely small. Moreover, the indoor temperature gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the floor temperature is higher than the temperature of the human respiratory system, giving people a comfortable feeling of warming feet and heads.

　　2. Floor heating is conducive to creating a healthy indoor environment. Heat sinks are used for heating. Generally, the outlet water temperature is above 70 ingestion degrees, but when the temperature reaches 80 degrees, dust clusters will be generated, making the wall above the heater covered with dust. The floor heating can prevent the convection of dust and turbid air, giving people a fresh, warm and healthy environment.

　　3, high efficiency and energy saving. Under the same room temperature, floor heating saves energy by 10% to 20% compared with traditional heating methods; due to the large heating surface, the relatively low water supply temperature required is only 40 to 50°C, and it can overcome part of the heat from traditional heating pads. The windows are lost and the shortcomings that affect the heating effect are lost.

　　 4. Save space. Because the heating pipes are all laid under the floor, the space for placing the heating sheet is saved, which is convenient for indoor decoration and furniture placement. Water heating and electric heating are suitable for different heating areas.

　 The advantages and disadvantages of electric floor heating and water floor heating-common disadvantages

　　 1. The floor height is about 6-8 cm occupied;

　　2. When the ground is renovated for the second time, it is easy to damage the underground pipeline, and it is not allowed to nail nails on the floor;

　　3. Laying wooden floor will have the trouble of cracking and deformation. It is best to choose floor tiles or composite floor.

From the comprehensive comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of electric floor heating and water floor heating, both water floor heating and electric floor heating are relatively safe. They are both buried in the ground. As long as they are not smashed on the ground, there will be no water leakage and electricity leakage problems. Just like the water pipes and cables buried underground in the city, if the excavator is not digging randomly and paying attention to the construction, there will be basically no problems. Users can choose a heating method that is more beneficial to them according to their own habits and use environment. In addition, floor heating can also be used in conjunction with air conditioning, solar energy, and domestic hot water to ensure a comfortable home environment that is warm in winter and cool in summer.
