Elpan/Wanpan Heating – Cost of Regular Baseboards and Installation Eliminated

30 Jul

When Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system is mounted the regular baseboards could be eliminated as well as the cost of their installation. According the information at www.costhelper.com, depending on style and height of baseboards:

* Inexpensive wood baseboards, such as pine or poplar – prices run for about $70-$180 uninstalled for a living room, or $425-$1,125 uninstalled for an average-sized home.

* Polyurethane baseboards –  prices run for about $144-$640 uninstalled for a living room and $900-$4,000 uninstalled for an average-sized home.

* Baseboards of solid cherry, mahogany, walnut or other high-end wood – prices run averaging $225-$560 uninstalled for a living room or $1,400-$3,500 uninstalled for an average-sized home.

* Professional installation starts around $1.50-$2 a linear foot, making it $120-$320 for labor for a living room, or $750-$2,000 for an average-sized home.

Elpan/Wanpan radiant heating system replaces regular baseboards and the total cost of construction or remodeling could be reduced accordingly.

Carpet Flooring and Elpan/Wanpan Ultimate Radiant Heating System

20 Jul

It is necessary to install the ultimate heating system, when going green and energy efficient, especially, if chosing carpet flooring. Recently, manufacturers are making thin carpet with a low pile and suggesting it to be used with any heating system, even infloor/underfloor heating systems. However, if heated floor of entire room are covered and heat has to pass through any additional layer (such as carpet), heating efficiency is affected significantly.

Conductivity of carpet is extremly low. Even if the surface of the floor (under the carpet) is heated to the max it will be very difficult to heat the room. In this case, Radiant Heating becomes Conductive Heating, which is one of the most unefficient ways to heat premises.

Energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system is absolutely suitable, when it comes to carpeted floor. The modular heating panels of Elpan/Wanpan ultimate radiant heating system are installed 0.5 inch from the floor level, so carpet may by layed just under the skirting board so ventilation holes stay uncovered.

Sockets and Switches are Mounted into Elpan/Wanpan Skirting Board Heating System

10 Jul

Any space between the heating modules of energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system is covered with dummy panels to give a uniform appearance all the way around the room. Tiny plastic clip covers a connection between heating and dummy panels of Wanpan hydronic heating system.

The special openings may be included in energy saving Elpan/Wanpan modular radiant heating system for connecting a TV set, telephone or computer in the place of the hollow element.

This also means that sockets can be positioned all the way around the room, which reduces the amount of cabling for lamps, home office, TV’s, etc. Sockets or switches of any type or model could be mounted into the Elpan and Wanpan heating systems according the standards of electric code of the country.
