Radiator central heating
Radiators can be installed both in new builds and retrospectively in existing homes. Furthermore, a combination of radiators and underfloor heating can be used in a new built property especially one built over 2 storeys. There are a wide variety of products available from the standard sleek white panel radiators through to artistic and uber stylish designer radiators which can be utilised as quite a feature.
There is much to consider when designing a radiator central heating system including specific heat loss calculations and the heat source requirements for the system to work to its utmost efficiency.
In addition to installations, Paragon Gas and Plumbing also maintain radiator central heating systems with specialist equipment to carry out power flushes, installing and servicing magnetic filter systems and repairing or replacing radiators as required.
Underfloor heating
There are many reasons why people are choosing under floor heating in their new homes; the feeling of electric radiant warmth can be likened to the effect of sunshine radiating through the window onto the floor. Radiant floor heating takes full advantage of the dynamics of heat to deliver warmer temperatures to the cooler lower part of the body and breathe-easy temperatures at eye-level.
In addition, radiant floor heating systems are cleaner, healthier and more responsive than traditional heating appliances so is the perfect family-friendly option. Underfloor heating can be installed underneath any floor covering and so is safely out of reach from prying fingers.
