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.

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.
