If you’re trying to decide between a radiator and a radiant film system for your home, it’s important to understand the difference between them and how they can benefit your home.
A radiator is the traditional form of heating where hot water is pumped through the radiator and heat is radiated out into the room. It has been around for hundreds of years and is still a popular choice in many homes today. The advantage of using a radiator system is that it can provide an even, consistent heat throughout the house, which makes it ideal for larger family homes.
In contrast, a radiant film system uses an electric current to heat up a thin film that’s installed underneath flooring or behind walls. This type of system is often more energy efficient than radiators because it doesn’t require as much energy to heat up the film as it does to heat up a large amount of water in a radiator system. This means you could potentially save money on your energy bills by installing a radiant film system instead.
One of the other advantages of using radiant films over radiators is that they are much easier to install as they don’t require any plumbing work or large pipes running through your walls. Additionally, they can be used in smaller spaces as well, so if you have limited space in your home then this could be an ideal solution for you.
When looking at installing either type of heating system, it’s important to consider not just the cost but also how much energy savings you can expect from each option. Generally speaking, if you install a radiant film system then you should expect to save around 20-30% on your energy bills compared with what you would have paid with a radiator heating system. In terms of cost, installing a radiant film system will usually be cheaper than radiators due to its simpler installation process.
