Heat Emitter Type
  Under Floor

Traditional Radiators

Aluminium Radiators

Fan Assisted Radiators

We at Efficient Energy Solutions Yorkshire would always recommend that where possible an under floor system be implemented. Correctly installed, this is the most efficient form of heating and provides comfort like no other. Retro fitting an under floor system to an existing property can pose it’s challenges, however, solutions are available and with new products providing us with new ways of installing under floor heating it is now possible to retro fit to existing buildings. The picture on the right is an example of a wet underfloor system designed for retro fitting. It is only 15mm in thickness.

In terms of new build installation things are a lot easier and with some thought beforehand good results are easy to come by.




Under Floor Heating
For best results, planning of your under floor heating system needs to take place at an early stage.

We recommend sitting down with your architect & designer and discussing with them what you intend to achieve through your heating system.

bThis will in turn have knock on effects with different aspects of your build, some buildings are more suited to under floor heating than others.

Under Floor Heating

Some considerations are:

What method floor type you or your architect intend to construct if new build or fix to if existing (this may differ from level to level) Solid concrete, suspended timber etc

Whether you are going for a concrete and screed UFH system or aluminium flat plate (this will be dictated by your floor type.

What floor coverings you would like eg. tiles or carpets? Tiles will prove more efficient, where carpets will act as an insolent layer and if very thick may require a higher flow temperature in turn lowering heat pump efficiency

A full under floor system or an up down split of under floor down stairs and radiators upstairs. This is a popular choice when presented with a concrete ground floor and a suspended timber frame upper floor. In this scenario the customer gets the best of both worlds without having to compromise on efficiency through the use of a slightly less efficient aluminium plate system or choice of carpets acting as insolents. Also Some people like having the radiators.

Zone control and cabling installation for programmable room stats for the different zones. We recommend each room be on its own zone. This way ‘on and off’ and desired temperature of each room can be controlled independently. This is a very efficient and comfortable way of controlling your heat.

Traditional Steel Radiators
 
Designed to be powered by traditional boilers, running on traditional fuels like gas and oil these steel radiators are fine when receiving 70°C – 80°C on flow temperature provided by the boiler.

However, temperature output by heat pumps is much lower and therefore these radiators need to be increased in size if they are to achieve the same exchange of heat into the room.

This increase in size can be achieved by making the radiator longer, taller and deeper.

This solution is known as over sizing radiators.

 
Aluminium Radiators
A higher grade material and a much better conductor of heat, these radiators will provide a higher output of heat than a conventional steel radiator and can be another solution for heat pump s running at lower temperatures.

This is particularly so when space is at a premium on retrofit projects.
Fan Assisted Radiators
Another step up from the aluminium radiator and more efficient still. A fan blows the air through the metal fins within the radiator housing speeding up the process of convection. Reduced water content means fan assisted radiators have less thermal inertia to overcome so when heating is needed, response is almost instant resulting in reduced room heat up times. These radiators will quickly heat up your room.

Once the room has reached temperature set by the control on the radiator, unlike conventional radiators, which continue to output heat, fan assisted radiators react quickly to heat gains and reduce output, minimising energy wastage. Manufactures have invested a lot of money in fan assisted radiators and there are some very efficient products on the market. The only down side with them is they require an electrical supply for the fan and also the controls. However, these too are efficient components and will only consume minimal electricity. The heat benefits are easily justified against electrical running costs.
 
These heaters have a small footprint and easily retrofitted to provide a cost effective, energy efficient and practical alternative to under floor heating and conventional radiators for use with heat pumps.

In the ‘heat emitter guide’ fan assisted radiators gain a high Temperature Star Rating for heat pump system efficiency. A copy of which can be downloaded below.
