Radiant Heat and Thermal Comfort with Elpan/Wanpan Heating

Behind the design of every new house there is a desire to minimize living expenses and have a comfortable, healthy indoor environment. In planning the requirements of a heating system a good basic

assumption is that the person for whom the system must assure thermal comfort is sitting still while wearing light indoor clothing.

Experiments have shown that if a uniform temperature can be achieved at every point in the room, at both head and foot level, 21 degree of C is ideal.

Energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system provides comfortable radiant heat and the most possible uniform temperature in the room – only 0.5C difference between the floor and the ceiling (scientifically proved).

Having the uniform temperature in the room is the main important factor which leads to Thermal Encirclement, highest energy savings and the most comfortable and healthy indoor environment to be enjoyed.

Elpan/Wanpan Heating System Versus Infloor Heating

Elpan/Wanpan heating system has quite few more advantages comparing with infloor or underfloor heating. One of them – low inertia. When using Elpan/Wanpan heating systems reaction time to the change of indoor temperature is vClick enlargeery fast

Significant energy savings are achieved because of sunlight/sun heat coming through windows. Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system stops heating immediately, while infloor heating system just caries on giving off heat.

The Thermal Encirclement principle also offers heating cost savings when compare to infloor heating, as it is virtually impossible to use night and day heat reduction, because the reaction time for reducing floor heating is signifficantlly longer, tipicaly 5-7 hours, and so reducing the heat does not pay off.

Residents are experiencing healthier indoor environment, because there is no additional dust rising from the lowest level of the room and affecting those with asthma or other respitorial problems. Immune system of kids and adults living in the house with Elpan/Wanpan heating system is not influenced negatively by walking on heated surface of the floor. Also, it is noticed, that bigger indoor kept dogs feel more comfortable while siting or laying on the floor which is not heated.

When Elpan electric or Wanpan hydronic/water based heating system is installed, flooring materials do not affect heating efficiency as well as carpeting or furnishing.  Heating energy flows directlly into the room. Created Thermal Encirclement gives a feeling of highest level of comfort.

Neat heating panels are mounted instead regular baseboards, which eliminates additional expenses related to regular wood or polyester basebord cost and installation.

Energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system provides highest level of comfort and healthy environment as well as sophisticated indoor design.

Elpan/Wanpan Heating Versus Baseboard Heaters

When it comes to baseboard heaters everybody pictures old fashion and bulky heating equipment, mounted at the lower level of the wall. These days, modern and updated baseboarClick to enlarged heaters are having significantly better design.

However, they are usually found to be mounted at the location bellow windows and installed on one or two walls of the room. At the point of heat distribution, when baseboard heaters are installed on one or two walls of the room, they are functioning as regular radiators. Indoor design is interrupted by baseboard heaters, not to mention, that there will be no energy savings comparing with traditional radiators as well as the thermal encirclement is not achieved.

In addition, when baseboard heaters are chosen as the heating option for premises, regular baseboards (wood or synthetic) need to be installed and the purchase/installation price applies.

Heating panels of Elpan/Wanpan baseboard heating system is mounted at the location of wood or synthetic baseboards and eliminates the cost of traditional baseboards as well as the cost of their installation. Elpan/Wanpan heating versus traditional baseboard heaters by many points – energy efficiency, healthy environment, low inertia and sophisticated indoor design.

Heating Energy Savings with Elpan/Wanpan Ultimate Heating System

Several tests over the years have shown that the thermal encirclement principle results in big savings of 25% on heating cost every year, when using Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system. This is bClick to enlargeecause all room is heated evenly, instead of having one radiator, which pumps air around the room, including over to the corners which are far away from the heating source. The thermal encirclement principle saves the energy required for this transmission.

Wanpan hydronic heating system in average cost around $13.00- $16.00 per linear foot or $5.00-$8.00 – per square foot. The final price depends on which components of the heating system and how many of them are mounted in the specific room. The exact price for the project is estimated after the calculation of heating system installation is completed. It needs to be addmited, that not all areas of the house are required heating panels to be mounted and every project may have some exceptions and adjustments.

Elpan electrical heating system is about 10% more expensive to purchase, but at the same time is about 10% more torrid, than Wanpan hydronic heating system.

An example: If  normally $ 6,000.00 per year is spend on heating a residence, the savings with Elpan/Wanpan system would be $1,500.00 per year, in other words $ 15,000.00 over ten years.

So, even if Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system cost a little more to buy, it quickly pays returns on the investment. The ultimate heating system provides with energy savings as well as other beneficial qualities, including highest level of comfort, healthy environment and low inertia.

Skirting Board Heating Helps to Avoid Mould Formation

Along with the struggling economy and rising prices of heating energy, consumers are experiencing some challenges: how to keep their homes efficiently heated and, at the same timClick to enlargee, how to avoid mould formation on the walls.

Mould formation on the walls may easily show up at some corners of the room or behind big pieces of furniture. We see it happening very often, when residents are trying to save heating energy by keeping lower indoor temperature and outside air conditions are rather more humid than freezing.

Slim Elpan/Wanpan heating panels are mounted behind the furniture and all around the coners of the room. All  walls are surrounded with heated air and even temperature. At this point, there are no supportive environmental conditions for mould formation to appear at the corners of the room.

Most likely, residents, who live near by water fields or on the coast, are looking for some solutions concerning mould formation on the walls. In some countries the begining of heating season depends on higher authorities of the city/town, so heating energy consumers can not turn on heat earlier, because their house is connected to the centralized heating system of the bigger area. In this case, to have just few Elpan heating panels, installed in the most sensitive areas, is a thoughtful decission.

Heating energy consumers, who have Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system installed, are using heating energy most efficiently. Skirting board heating helps to avoid mould formation on the walls as well as to have healthier indoor environment.
