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.

Featured tool: finding the best radiators for heat output with the Purmo product calculator

To help HVAC professionals find the best radiators for heat output, there is the Purmo product calculator. A practical online tool that helps you find radiators that match the specific requirements of any project.

Sustainable cooling systems: surface cooling vs. air conditioning

Today’s higher cooling demand is often met by installing air conditioning. However, other cooling systems such as underfloor cooling or fan convectors offer an interesting alternative.

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.

Another sustainable step forward: Purmo’s first Environmental Product Declaration

To asses and offer complete transparency about the environmental impact of our products, we have started to collect Environmental Product Declarations (EDP).

Over 2300 Purmo radiators efficiently heat Gothenburg's new landmark

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.
