Humans have been using geothermal power for heating purposes for centuries. Typically, the heat is harvested near tectonic plate boundaries. In these regions, the ground as well as groundwater display temperatures higher than the target output. A typical application involves a ground source heat pump underneath or near a home that extracts the earth’s natural energy and transforms it into usable heating output. What are the benefits? The chief benefit of using this type of heating system is energy conservation. In times when going green is the order of the day, this benefit is not to be taken lightly. The heat pumps Southland use up to less electricity than conventional heating or cooling systems.
Electric Underfloor heating is a heating system installed in the floor area to heat an area or room. Electric underfloor heating provides warmth throughout the room along with comfort and heat. In an electric underfloor heating, the systems in a form of electric wires or electric heating sheets are installed within the flooring. Electric heating mats can be manufactured in two forms, in mesh form with a pre spaced cable attached to it as well as in the form of a heated. Heating cables comprises of cables without a membrane and is specifically designed for irregular shaped areas. The concept of underfloor heating is not a new thing but recently there has been a huge surge in popularity of underfloor heating systems installed with both new builds and renovation projects. One of the reasons for this is the desire from households to be less environmentally damaging.
