Radiators are good partners to heat pumps too

摘要

Stelrad says: "More than 90% of all heating systems in the UK rely on radiators to share the heat around the home and despite the arrival of underfloor heating, there is still a reluctance to use UFM upstairs in new build and it can be complex to fit as a retrofit solution - so radiators tend to win out most of the time. Radiators heat up and cool down far more quickly, something that needs to be borne in mind when selecting the best way to share heat around the home.Remember radiators are poorly named. Most radiators are actually convectors - there is a small amount of radiant heat from the radiator but more than 80% of the heat is convected heat - drawn up behind the radiator where the air passes over the metal surfaces of the radiator and heats the air in the room.
