Radiators should typically be mounted so that the foot of the radiator is positioned a minimum of 150mm from the floor. How much bigger do radiators need to be for a heat pump? As a general rule, you can expect to fit a radiator two and a half times larger than normal to provide the...
If you suspect any of these problems, you might not need to bleed the radiator after all. If you don't feel comfortable resolving these problems yourself, it'll be best to call in a professional. The best way to check if your radiators need bleeding is to turn your central heating all ...
The “Usonian Homes” were small, single-story houses without a garage or enough storage space. They were L-shaped to fit around a garden terrace, with flat roofs and large cantilevered overhangs for passive solar heating, and natural cooling. In-floor heating was implemented by circulating hot...
To bleed a radiator, you will need to switch off your central heating. You then need to insert a radiator valve key (costs between £1 and £3 if you can’t find one at home) into the ‘bleed valve’ (a small slot you often find at one end of the radiator above the temperatur...
to the required level. Striving for a low energy demand, however, would require a completely different approach (for example, in the form of forced ventilation with a heat recovery unit, ultimately powered with a PV array). Such a solution is very different from the traditional yurt model ...
The condenser is basically a radiator, and it serves the same purpose as the one in your home: to radiate heat out of the system. The refrigerant enters the condenser as a pressurized gas from the compressor. The process of pressurizing the gas and moving it to the condenser creates heat...
A heat pump uses 60 to 70 percent less energy to heat your home than a traditional heating system like a furnace, boiler, electric radiator, or wood stove. Many people will save money or break even on their heating bills with a heat pump, and they're almost always better for the enviro...
so it's easy to use. Available inwhiteandgraphiteto fit the colour scheme of any modern kitchen, you can finally ditch the plain boring white goods for good (if you can afford the not-so-budget-friendly expense). However, if you have the cash to splash, this energy-efficient model halv...
Flexible mounting- Our Efficiency Range of Panel Heaters can be wall or ceiling-mounted. When wall mounted, unlike traditional wet radiator systems, they don’t need to be fitted low down. The ability to ceiling-mounted can be a big advantage as they can be put out of the way and the ...
Foam tape is usually ineffective as door weatherstripping. Even the thinnest foam tape is too bulky to fit along the edge of the doorstop, and if applied in this area, it causes the door to bind and not shut properly. Foam tape is also not durable enough for everyday use in this type...
