Radiator System Upgrades
Radiator Systems: We can install a radiator system of your choice into your home, depending on your needs. These range from Central Heating Radiators, Dual Fuel Radiators and Electric Radiators.
Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs): This is a device commonly found on the end of a radiator; EEH-Solutions can install an improved, modernised version that allows you to directly control the flow of heat in each individual room.
Electric Storage Heaters: This device is similar to a radiator, but utilizes off-peak energy to store heat, typically at night when electricity is cheaper, and releases it through the day.
Benefits
Reliable and Durable: These systems are low maintenance by design, capable of being adjusted by a switch or valve - all built to last.
Convenience: As modern radiator systems are automated, it becomes easier and easier to set up and forget, allowing you to live in comfort without worry.
Efficient: These systems can produce heat for extended periods of time, providing a consistent temperature as well as silent operation. As well as no threat of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Environmentally Friendly: There are no direct emissions produced by these devices as well as being compatible with renewable energy (such as solar panels), therefore reducing your carbon footprint.
Radiator Systems FAQ
-
Where is the best place to install a radiator system?
An ideal location would be under a window or an external wall to counteract cold drafts. When installed, avoid placing furniture or curtains in front, as this can obstruct heat flow.
-
Would I need to replace my old pipes?
This entirely depends on the condition of the existing pipes, EEH-Solutions can inform you through an on-site assessment to determine if the current piping can be used or needs replacement.
-
What kind of maintenance do radiator systems require?
Annual maintenance of radiator systems requires regular bleeding of the radiator to remove air, checking for leaks and ensuring the boiler is functioning properly. This is to ensure that the system operates efficiently.
TRVs FAQ
-
Are there any rooms where TRVs shouldn’t be installed?
It is not recommended that TRVs are installed for rooms with their own heat sources, such as the kitchen or a bathroom with heated towel rails - as they can interfere with the TRV’s temperature sensing.
-
Can I still use my central heating thermostat with TRVs?
Yes, you can still use your central heating thermostat to set a minimum temperature for your home. Within individual rooms, the TRVs will make precise adjustments to the temperature in accordance with their predetermined configurations.
-
Will TRVs work with my existing radiators?
TRVs are designed to fit most standard radiators. However, it is important to first check the compatibility with your specific radiator model before purchasing, EEH-Solutions can provide assistance with this.
Electric Storage Heaters FAQ
-
Can I replace my existing heating system with electric storage heaters?
Yes, it is possible to replace existing heating systems - but it is also important to consider the impact of energy consumption already taking place in your home.
-
Can I use an electric storage heater with renewable energy sources like a solar panel?
While storage heaters are designed to work with off-peak electricity, it is possible that they can work with renewable energy sources like solar panels - however, you may require additional equipment such as a battery storage system to store excess solar energy generated during the day.
-
Do storage heaters require regular maintenance?
Storage heaters generally require minimal maintenance - only to be kept clean and dust-free with the occasional check for any signs of damage or malfunction.
