Energy saving

Here you can find ideas on how modern radiators and control systems can help you make energy saving in heating.

Heating costs account for the largest part of our electricity consumption in detached houses. For the consumer, it is noticeably difficult to determine which heating system is most efficient and how you can make energy saving in heating and cooling. It is well known that a heat pump has a good COP value at low temperatures. But that is not enough. Underfloor heating gives a lower COP value together with a heat pump than, for example, hydronic radiators do. This in itself does not automatically lead to lower electricity consumption. Decisive is also how the heat is regulated and what heat losses the house has.

The added value of thermostatic radiator valves in energy saving

Let’s look at how thermostatic radiator valves can help to maintain a comfortable temperature while optimising energy consumption.

How does the gas boiler ban affect the HVAC system?

Governments in various EU countries have issued a gas boiler ban. Heat pumps are considered to be the main alternative, but how does this switch affect the HVAC system?

Radiators for a low temperature heating system: panel radiators vs. fan convectors

Good insulation makes it easier to opt for a low temperature heating system. This must be combined with the right radiators to enjoy all the benefits.

The important role of radiators in a heat pump system

For a heat pump system to operate efficiently, as for all systems in fact, all components must be fully coordinated with each other. Only then will the system be able to reach its full potential and guarantee optimal efficiency.

Energy-efficient low temperature radiators for heat pumps: a comprehensive guide

To ensure optimal efficiency, a heat pump needs to be paired with the right emitters. So let’s take a look at which are the best low temperature radiators for heat pumps and the key factors to consider.

How to reduce your HVAC system’s carbon footprint
