The nationwide temperature drop over the past two days has made everyone feel the chill coming on. Today we will bring you a few tips on how to use underfloor heating. In fact, the energy consumption of underfloor heating is closely related to the user's habits, in addition to the building's thermal insulation, underfloor heating design and installation process.

01 Reasonable temperature setting

The higher the underfloor heating temperature is set, the higher the energy consumption will increase. When it reaches 18 ℃, floor heating temperature increases every 1 ℃, energy consumption will rise by 3 ~ 5%, so whether it is from the point of view of comfort or energy-saving considerations, it is not recommended to set the indoor temperature is too high.

According to domestic and foreign research results of the relevant health departments, when the human body is appropriately dressed, the amount of warmth is sufficient and in a quiet state, the indoor temperature of 20 ℃ is more comfortable, 18 ℃ no cold, 15 ℃ is the temperature limit of the generation of a clear sense of cold.

Therefore, the heating temperature of the floor heating is set at 18 ℃ to 22 ℃ is more appropriate, in the South we do not pursue the indoor wear short-sleeved ice-cream, both uncomfortable energy consumption is also high.

02 Time of opening windows for ventilation

Southern people even in winter will have the habit of opening windows to ventilate, but windows and doors happen to be one of the main leakage of indoor heat, so windows should not be opened too often in winter to ventilate.

If you have installed a fresh air system at home, you can change the air through fresh air, and choosing a fresh air system with heat exchange function can reduce the indoor heat loss; if you have not installed a fresh air, then try to ventilate at noon when the outdoor temperature is high, and each time should not be too long.

03 Underfloor heating switched on as required

If you install wet underfloor heating, you can turn down the temperature of the underfloor heating when no one is at home, and then turn up the temperature when you get home; if you install dry underfloor heating, you can turn it off as soon as you leave, and turn it on as soon as it's ready to be used, so you can reduce your energy consumption.

In the case of a home with more rooms, you can close the underfloor heating in the rooms that are not used for a long time. Generally, turning on the underfloor heating in three rooms will use less energy than turning it on in four rooms.

04 Regular maintenance of underfloor heating

The long-term stable operation of underfloor heating cannot be separated from regular maintenance, which is conducive to maintaining the efficient and energy-saving operation of underfloor heating.

Some people have installed underfloor heating and found that the gas consumption is more than one year, but the effect is discounting, this situation will have to contact the HVAC company's after-sales to give the underfloor heating to do a maintenance.

Finally, when installing underfloor heating, choosing high-quality energy-saving materials and carrying out standardised installation is also the key to saving energy and money. For example, the use of high-quality XPS boards, the choice of condensing furnaces, and installation in strict accordance with the standards of underfloor heating construction, etc., all of which are closely related to the final energy consumption.
