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 Baseboard Heating System for Private Homes and Cottages

One of the most common applications for Elpan/Wanpan baseboard heating system is to be installed in private homes and cottages. Regular or programmable thermostats help to adjust indoor temperatures according to family schedule. Bedrooms are usually kept at lower temperature during the day and, in most times, during the night. Temperature in kids’ rooms may easily be adjusted to the schedule of the school, kindergarden or other type of their activities.

In addition, residents of the house and indoor pets are not additinally affected by heated floor surface and feel more comfortable as well as stay healthier.

When family is ready to go on a weekend trip or vacation, much lower temperatures may be kept in whole residence and signifficant savings of heating energy will help to maintain lower budget.

Comparing with other heating systems (infloor heating or underfloor heating) Elpan/Wanpan radiant baseboard heating systems has much lower inertia. Straight from the heating panels heat is radiating into the room directly. With Elpan panels company supply a new control system, which allows to switch on the heating just by sending an SMS. The message could be sent 1-2 hours before arrival and residents will walk into a lovely warm house.

For more than 40 years Elpan/Wanpan heating system is proven to be one of the highest quality and most desirable baseboard heating systems for private homes and cottages.

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.

Installing Elpan Skirting Board Radiant Heating System in Huge Space


Installing Elpan skirting board radiant heating system in church, which is huge space not only by big square footage, but also – by having very high ceilings – is the best way to save heating energy.

There is not a purpose such as –  to heat all church from floor to ceiling, but it is a desirable goal to keep people warm during activity hours. Heating systems which have high inertia (infloor heating) or low efficiency (traditional radiators or baseboard heaters) are to costly to be operated in these kind of buildings.

When Elpan electric modular heating panels are mounted under each seat, from both sides of the bench,  radiant heat is used right there, where it is needed the most. In addition to that,  Elpan radiant heating system could be installed on surrounding walls around the perimeter of the church.

It is necessary to install the ultimate heating system to keep all members of congregation feeling comfortable  when they are participating in church events. At this point – installing Elpan skirting board radiant heating system in church –  is one of the best ways to heat huge space and save heating energy.

Electric Modular Heating Panels Mounted Where Most Needed

Some buildings have a very specific purpose of usage and need to be heated only few times per week, for 2-3 hours at the time. Church… People are coming to church only on certain days for couple hours. Inertia of heating system, installed in church has to be the lowest, so there is no additional heating energy  wasted before and after gathering. At this point, traditional radiators, baseboard heaters and infloor heating have various dissatvantages concerning heating consumption, inertia, etc..

The heating elements of electric Elpan skirting board radiant heating system are installed arround the perimeter of church, partly, to create thermal encirclement effect in addition to heating panels which are installed under every each seat to heat more explicit area. Elpan heating usually is turned on only 30-40 minutes before service starts.

Modular heating panels of electric Elpan baseboard radiant heating system, mounted under every each seat creates warm and cozy environment exactly where it is needed the most.

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.

Heating Systems

Conventional radiators produce a high temperature immediately above the radiator and a warm layer under the ceiling. The lowest temperature is at the floor height and this causes discomfort from draughts. High energy consumption due air convection.

Infloor heating produces higher temperature on the floor, which can be uncomfortable to stand on without footwear, for longer period of time. The temperature is lower the farther from the heat source.  There is large energy consumption due to the inertia of the system and inherent limited possibilities for the exploitation of the free heat by temperature control. By installing wood floor and/or covering floor with carpet makes radiant heating system far less efficient.

Ceiling heating has been used for some years in single family houses and in some large rooms in public buildings by installing radiant overhead ceiling panels. Warm air moves upward and a layer of higher temperature air always will be at the ceiling.

Forced Air heating system that is blowing warm air makes room space to warm up quickly. However, when outdoor temperature is low, room space that was warmed up cools very quickly, soon after stopping to blow warm air. It increases energy consumption. Huge air infiltration significantly reduces air humidity. Additional air convection results big energy loses as well.

Elpan/Wanpanenergy saving skirting board radiant heating system is based on the principle of the thermal encirclement, which creates a more even distribution of heat throughout the room, as the heat is conducted at a lower temperature.

This is quite different baseboard radiant heating system in comparison to other heating systems such as conventional radiators, baseboard heaters, infloor heating or ceiling heating.
