Central Heating - Radiator and Underfloor Heating

Radiator Systems

The warmth and comfort of your home is one of the most important things in your life. A Heatmaster central heating system can heat even the coldest corner of your home so that your family can comfortably use any room throughout winter. Many older residences increasingly feature this type of heating system, and radiator heating is becoming the system of choice for many new and renovated homes.

Control and speed of response are the key feature of our radiator heating systems.

Hot-water, or hydronic, heating systems have several advantages over other options. They are very quick and efficient, and since they have few moving parts, they are reliable and durable, lasting for many years. They are quiet and provide even, consistent heat that is clean and dust-free. Our central heating systems can warm your home by providing an efficient but gentle heat with full temperature control features.

In a hydronic heating system, a boiler heats water by means of a gas or oil-fired burner and this travels through pipes to radiators, towel rails or convectors, which give off heat and warm the room. Cool water is returned to the boiler to be heated again. Control and speed of response are the key feature of our radiator heating systems. Each radiator is equipped with a thermostatic valve that can adjust the individual radiator heat output to the desired room temperature. Correctly matching the boiler to the total radiator output is essential for the optimum performance and economy of a successful heating system.

Central Heating - Underfloor Heating

The principle of underfloor heating is simple and very effective. The floor is heated and in turn it radiates heat into the living areas and rooms in the home. Radiant heating gives comfort at a lower overall room temperature, this leads to lower running costs compared to alternative forms of heating. Underfloor heating is completely out of sight, so there is no restriction with the placement of furniture in the home and no possibility of direct damage to the heater.

Options for control of underfloor heating are more limited and less responsive than other heating systems. The large thermal mass of the slab prevents fast heat up and cool down times, for this reason it is more practical to maintain the slab at a constant temperature night and day throughout the cooler season. The use of a simple room thermostat compensates for variations in outside temperature and sunshine. Control systems can range from a single controller for the whole home to an individual controller for each room or zone.

The water temperature is warm rather than hot, as the surface temperature of your floor seldom needs to exceed 22-24 degrees to provide a comfortable living temperature.

A Heatmaster underfloor heating system heats your home using warm water passing through piping which is laid in the concrete floor. The layout of this tubing is designed to take into account features, which may be unique to your house. The water temperature is warm rather than hot, as the surface temperature of your floor seldom needs to exceed 22-24 degrees to provide a comfortable living temperature.
