Our Floor Heating Systems Brought Warmth And Happiness
Into Our Lives
Gary Tooth
I don't know what part of the world you come from, but by golly it gets
a bit nippy in our neck of the woods during those long, cold, winter
months. Well, I'm happy to say that most of the unpleasantness of those
icy cold days stays where it belongs, outside! It wasn't always like
that though. In fact, we used to suffer along with everyone else until
we discovered the benefits of floor heating systems. I can't even begin
to tell you how much they have improved the warmth and coziness of our
home.
Most home hunters go out looking for a first home or a change of home
in the spring and summer months. This is fine, as we all want to see a
potential property in the bright light of day, but it doesn't give us
much of an opportunity to check out the heating system in the building.
This is exactly what happened to us. We had storage heaters which were
great for waking up in the mornings, but by the time we came home
perished in the evening, we opened the door to the Baltic and had to
get the gas fire blasting on all fours. The problem with this is that
is was a very uncomfortable type of heat. Kind of dry and heady. We'd
only gone a few short weeks into our first winter when we decided to
look at floor heating systems as recommenced by one or our neighbors.
There are numerous types of these floor heating systems available and
although we knew very little about them, they have been around for
quite a while apparently. What they do is warm everything in the room
with a consistent, uniform heat which is very comfortable. This means
that there are no more cold floors or drafty rooms to endure, and we
can personally vouch for that. After the initial cost of purchase and
installation, we found that the manufactures claims that these floor
heating systems could reduce operating costs by up to 30% were
accurate. Now how's that for an added bonus! Another benefit is that
they are very clean and very quiet. No noisy fans or dry air getting
blown around creating nasty allergens, dust particles or unpleasant
odors throughout the home.
Unlike our old storage heaters that had to be preset before they kicked
in over night, most modern floor heating systems will give you zone
control, which means room-by-room temperature control at your
fingertips (if you have them installed in more than one room of
course!). You can actually adjust the temperature to meet your specific
requirements for a particular room or particular time of day.
I can't say enough good about floor heating systems and my wife and I
are very happy campers with our investment. Very happy!
