How to Keep the Same Indoor Temperature in the House

How to keep the same indoor temperature in the house? This is a common question comming from heating systems’ consumers. Obviously, creating the environment, where the same temperature is achieved in all living areas of the house, sometimes might be a little challenging.Click to enlarge

Each area of the house is exposed to different conditions concerning heating losses, because of its different location in the house – windows facing different direction (north/east/west/south), rooms are located at the ground floor or second floor, 1, 2 or 3 outside walls, etc.. These factors lead to different heating energy consumption. Installing only one thermostat at lower lewel of the house – definitely will not provide with the conditions where the same temperature will be achieved in each area of the house.

The main requirement for achieving the same indoor temperature in the house – having thermostats to be installed in every room and each living area, which needs a heating system. If the thermostats appear to be programmable – the same temperature should be set up in each room at the same period of time.

If there is a goal to achieve the same thermal conditions in every room of the house, it is very important, that thermostats are not affected by such additional heat sources as direct sunlight, fireplace or appliances, which radiate signifficant amount of heat, etc..

Programmable thermostats or regular thermostats for Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system could be purchased localy – for the purpose to lower the price of the heating system. Programmable or regular thermostats installed in every room help to keep the same indoor temperature in each room and create the most comfortable indoor environment in the house.

Infloor/Underfloor Heating System Installed in Bathroom, Entrance or Under Staircase

Infloor/underfloor heating system installed in bathroom, entrance area or under outside staircase is the best choice concerning the specifics ofClick to enlarge these areas.

Infloor radiant heating is always recomended to be installed in the bathroom and this recomendation is backed by logical reasonining: standing on the floor barefooted, wearing lighter clothes and often having water spils on the floor.  Electric or hydronic infloor radiant heating system installed in the bathroom – is a good choice at all points of view.

However, Wanpan hydronic baseboard heating, can be installed in the bathroom at the choice of the owner. Electric Elpan heating system is strictly not recomended to be installed in the bathroom, because of the safety regulations.  

At the entrance of the house and under outside stairase – these are the areas of the house, as well as the bathroom, where you should be suggested to install infloor/underfloor radiant heating system. It helps to have the mentioned areas clear out of snow and water much faster. The only concern has to be addressed – to make sure, that updated and reliable insullation is properly installed. If the job is done more or less ceareless – the high heat losses will appear and heating these areas of the property will become very costly.

Infloor/underfloor radiant heating systems are the most recomended heating systems to be installed in the bathroom, entrance of the house and under outside staircase.

Skirting Board Heating Installed in High Ceiling Building

Skirting  board heating system is not a very common type of heating to be installed as the main and the only one in high ceiling building. Residential homes, usually, doClick to enlarge not have high ceiling in Europe or other parts of the world, where everybody feels more aware of high heating energy prices. The constructions, mentioned above, are more likely to be popular in United States.

Heating losses in premises with high ceiling are much higher then in buildings with regular ones of 3m (about 9 ft.). The building insullation, including: walls, windows, doors, roof and floor, has to be the most reliable and updated to cover high heat losses. No matter, how good the insullation is, to cover heat losses in premises with the ceilings of 6-8m (18-24ft.) will apear much more costly.

Heated air from the floor level of the room rises up until it reaches the ceiling. Obviously, bigger space needs to be heated and calculated heating losses are much higher. It is very common, that ceiling fans are installed with the purpose to stop heated air from rising up to the ceiling and to keep higher temperature at the lower level of the room. Usually, the box of the ceiling fan has a dscription as – Energy Saving Apliance. Often, more than one heating system is installed in these kind of constructions.

In many cases, infloor radiant heating system can not handle to cover all the heating losses by itself also. Flooring materials have standarts of limited temperature to be exposed to and the secondary heating system needs to be installed. In this case, sophisticated design and simplicity of Elpan/Wanpan heating system allows it to be used as a secondary heating system in high ceiling buildings to cover additional heating losses.

When Elpan/Wanpan heating system is installed in high ceiling building as a primary heating system, it is more challenging to apply the principals of thermal encirclement and have the same results which this skirting board heating system was created to achieve. Elpan/Wanpan heating systems were engineered and tested for premises which have regular ceiling of 3m ( aprx. 9 ft.). However, Elpan/Wanpan heating systems could be installed as a primary or a secondary one if the combined power of the heating systems have enough power to cover heating losses in high ceiling building.

The Ultimate Heating System Mounted in Bedroom

The ultimate heating system mounted in bedroom makes everybody feel comfortable and be able to relax. If heating system causes any disturbance or discomfort, such as – turnclick to enlarge on/off sound, dry and dusty air (forced air heating systems), uneven temperature, high air convection ( radiators and baseboard heaters), bed heated from below (infloor/underfloor heating systems) – all that affects quality time spent in the bedroom.

If infloor/underfloor heating system is installed in the bedroom, it may cause an additional heat accumulation under the bed. Sometimes it could feel very uncomfortable and quite disturbing. Besides, the efficiency of the heating system is reduced by placing bed, which is a big piece of furniture, on the floor. If the heating zones of infloor or underfloor heating are adjusted to the location of the bed, it may cause additional problems if there is a need to move furniture around.

Electric Elpan and hydronic Wanpan skirting board heating systems are working quietely, preserves conditionally humid air and lowest air convection in permises. Efficiency of the heating system is not affected by furniture being relocated or moved around when needed.

Elpan/Wanpan baseboard heating system is the ultimate heating system mounted in bedroom, which allows to experience lowest air convection, conditionally humid air, the most even temperature in the room and lowest level of dust.

Electric Elpan Modular Heating Panels Mounted onto Furniture

When mounted onto furniture, electric Elpan modular heating panels allow kitchen or storage area to be heated as usual and to keep all content inside the cabinets not affected click to enlargeby higher temperatures. Instead, having infloor or underfloor heating system, installed in such area, all items, stored in cabinets (food, water suplies, pet food, chemicals, etc.) would be affected by an additional heat exposure coming from the floor level.

Kitchen or storage room has at least one or two walls, blocked with permanent cabinets or big pieces of furniture to be used for various purposes. If there is no option to install regular radiators or baseboard heaters, it looks like infloor heating or underfloor heating  system would be the most suitable… But, only, if the content inside of the furniture/cabinets is not sensitive to higher temperature. Besides, when infloor/underfloor heating system is installed under the furniture, a signifficant amount of heating energy is lost.

Electric Elpan skirting board heating system might be the only one option to chose from. There is no heating energy loss – heat radiates directly into the center of the room. When mounted onto furniture, electric Elpan modular heating panels allow radiant heat to be distributed into premises as usual and all items inside of the cabinets are not affected by unwanted exposure of higher temperatures.

Elpan/Wanpan Heating for Hospital, Clinic or Medical Center

If specific indoor requirements  such as even temperature, lowest level of dust and conditionaly humid air are preserved in a hospital (intense care area, emergency or surgery room, etc.), patients of the hospital or medical center are exposed to the most healthy and hygienic environment. Also, it is equally important for doctors, surgeons and other medical personel, who perform complicated and precise medical procedures, to work in highly comfortable thermal (even temperature, floor is not heated) and hygienic (level of dust, conditionaly humid air) conditions.

Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system radiats heat directly into room and reacts to the change of temperature of 0.5 degree of C (people, sunshine, medical equipment, etc.) and momentarily turns off/on heating. The lowest heat convection is a result of thermal encirclement. It helps to keep the lowest level of dust in all areas of the clinic or hospital where Elpan/Wanpan heating systems are installed.

Medical facilities are filled with high quality and sensitive technology to monitor sensitive data and often – to keep patients alive. No additional heat at floor level (infloor heating), uniform temperature, fast reaction to the change of temperature and lowest level of dust in the room helps to run medical equipment smothly.

Exceptional conditions of highest level of comfort and hygiene are achieved, when Elpan/Wanpan baseboard radiant heating system is used in hospital, clinic or other medical facilitiy.

Carpet Flooring and Elpan/Wanpan Ultimate Radiant Heating System

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.
