Winter is coming soon, and the heating will be turned on soon. Now there are many heating methods, some municipal heating, some air conditioning heating, and others use floor heating. What kind of heating is the most cost-effective? This article brings you a comparative introduction of floor heating and air conditioning. Let's have a look.
&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203; Is it cost-effective to use air conditioning or floor heating in winter
This can not be answered in general, there is no unified answer. This is divided into regions. Different regions will have different choices.
Generally speaking, the south is not as cold as the north. Air conditioning is enough to achieve heating effect, and it is more cost-effective. There is no need to spend a lot of time on floor heating. The north is more suitable for ground heating and more cost-effective, because the winter in the north is very cold, the air conditioner can hardly meet their heating needs, and it is a waste of electricity.
Comparison between floor heating and air conditioning
1. Comfort
Floor heating radiates heat to the ground through buried pipelines, so that the surface of the floor is heated evenly, and the temperature decreases evenly from bottom to top, which makes people very comfortable.
The air conditioner uses air forced convection for heat dissipation, and the heat is scattered with the air flow, so the heating effect is not so good.
2. Aesthetic degree
The floor heating has high concealment, which is mainly buried under the floor and does not occupy indoor space. The installation does not damage the indoor decoration, and is integrated with the decoration. The saved space can make the indoor layout more flexible and beautiful.
The air conditioner is placed on the ground, occupying space, and if it does not match the indoor decoration style, it will also affect the aesthetics.
3. Universality
However, in terms of function and use time, floor heating can only be used in winter, but not in spring, summer and autumn.
The air conditioner has both heating and cooling functions, and can be used all year round.
4. Expenses
In terms of cost, the installation cost of floor heating is more expensive, at least more than 20000. The air conditioner only needs thousands.
Of course, the service life of floor heating is long, about 50 years, and the service life of air conditioning is about 10 years.
Therefore, although the price of floor heating is high, it is more cost-effective, and the energy consumption of gas or electricity for floor heating is much smaller than that of air conditioning. Floor heating can save more later costs than air conditioning&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;
