Floor heating cannot be replaced with natural gas heating, and electric heating can only be water heating or electric heating.
Floor heating is divided into two categories: water underfloor heating and electric underfloor heating in terms of heat transfer fluid. In terms of paving structure, it is divided into two types: wet floor heating and dry floor heating. underfloor heating does not require pisolite backfill (belongs to ultra-thin type);
From the surface decoration materials, it is divided into underfloor type underfloor heating and underfloor heating. the tile type floor depending on the function; divided into ordinary floor heating and far infrared floor heating.
Detailed information:
Features of underfloor heating:
1. Comfortable and healthy. The temperature of the underfloor heating ranges frome bottom up, giving people a comfortable feeling of warm feet and cool head, which is consistent with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Heat is mainly transferred in the form of radiation, which does not dry the air. The radiation wavelength is far infrared 8-12 microns, which is beneficial to the human body.
2. Energy saving and environmental protection. To achieve the same room temperature effect, it can be set 2-3 degrees lower than traditional heating, effectively saving energy. And it will not pollute indoor air.
3. Uniform and stable heat dissipation. Since underfloor heating transmits heat through the concrete, the heat is distributed evenly. In addition, concrete has an energy storage effect, so the room temperature can remain stable even if heating is intermittent.

1. Comfort
Plumbing is mainly carried out indoors by heating hot water. The heating effect is relatively mild, which is more suitable for families with elderly people and children. Electric heating easily connects to various new energy sources and can directly produce electricity, whether it is solar energy, wind energy or tidal energy.
2. Area and cost
The components of electric heating and electric floor heating include: heating cables, thermostats and auxiliary floor materials. Therefore, there is no threshold for the initial installation area. The cost is essentially linked to the surface area. It is more convenient and profitable to lay on small areas. The components of water underfloor heating include: a boiler, a water collectoru, a floor coil, floor auxiliary materials, a thermostat and some elbows and other accessories. A boiler costs at least 18,000 yuan, and a set of water dispensers costs 5,200 yuan, so the price is 5,200 yuan. The smaller the area, the higher the unit price of water heating installation.
3. Other factors
Electric heating is like wires buried in the wall. Once installed, you will benefit from it for life. Boilers are used to heat water and can provide domestic hot water 24 hours a day without having to purchase another boiler or electric water heater.
