Heating
Before choosing a heating system:
Think about the overall ‘thermal envelope’ of your home – how well it retains heat.
Heat your home, not the world!:
It is likely to be more cost effective to invest money in insulation, double-glazing and thermal curtains before you spend money on heating systems.
Energy-efficient underfloor heating, heat pumps and woodburners
35% of the average home energy bill goes towards space heating, so it makes sense to invest in the most energy-efficient heating system. Right House can advise you on a heating solution that not only saves power, but delivers heat where – and when – you want it.
We’ve investigated the options and found the most energy-efficient heating systems available. We can specify and install:
- Hydronic underfloor heating
- Ground-source heat pumps
- Radiators
- Air-source heat pumps
- Wood and pellet burners
- Ventilation
There’s a few things to consider before you choose a heating solution for your home.
- Do you want a radiant heater that delivers slow, gentle warmth?
- Or do you prefer convection heating which circulates warm air through the room instantly?
- Do you want central heating or a localised heating source. Find out about central heating options by downloading our Fact Sheet: Central Heating.
- Will you use heating all day long or only at night?
- How efficiently does your home already absorb and retain heat using insulation or thermal mass?
We take all these factors into account and work out the best and most efficient heating choice for your home. To understand more about the differences between radiant heating and convection heating download the Fact Sheet: Heat Type Comparison.
