Installation of Central heating systems
Renewable Energy Limited install hydronic central heating system with a focus on low carbon energy sources.
Hydronic central heating mean heating systems that use water to distribute the heat from a central boiler to energy emitters throughout the home.
Using a hydronic system has many advantages over ducted air systems:
- Hydronic systems are quiet. If it wasn't for the fact you are cosy and warm you would have no idea your hydronic heating system was even operating. Unlike air blown systems
- Hydronic systems are much more comfortable. Radiators and underfloor heating have thermal mass. Because of this when the heating is turned off the heat remains for hours after. By contrast ducted systems only heat the air, so the heated space becomes cold very quickly. In fact with ducted systems you can often feel the temperature rise and fall as the thermostat turns the system on and off.
- Solar hot water has much higher efficiency than solar electric systems so can can generate more energy when space is limited
- Solar hot water systems often offset the use of gas or diesel used for water heating, so often save more carbon than solar electric systems
Radiators and towel rails:
- Renewable Energy Limited install radiators in new and existing homes.
- We also install on commercial premises such as schools.
- Radiators are perfect for New Zealands’ temperate climate due to the fast reaction times and individual control of radiators
- Radiators are quiet and give off a comfortable and even heat throughout a home. Each radiator has its own thermostat providing infinite control and individual comfort levels for each room.
- Radiators do not blow air and so not create drafts as fan assisted systems do.
- Radiators add a stylish quality to any home and is an indication of quality and comfort.
- Renewable Energy Limited install radiators in new and existing homes. Also commercial premises such as schools.
In-slab underfloor heating
In-slab underfloor heating is the ultimate in discreet comfort. Because heat radiates from the floor the entire heated space is cozy, warm and luxurious.
Under-floor heating has no visual components, freeing up wall space
Heating spaces from the floor up is the most comfortable way of heating for the human body (feet warmer than your head).
Under-floor heating is essential for hard, usually cold floor coverings such as tiles or
polished concrete. Under-floor heating is also effective at heating spaces with wooden floors or carpet.
Overlay underfloor heating
For existing homes or upper floors REL can install overlay underfloor heating systems, such as the Variotherm. REL also install Variothem wall heating systems.
Panels are placed on the ground with grooves for pipe to fit. Once pipe has been fitted in place then a levelling compound is poured over the whole floor.
Once this is complete then floor coverings can be installed on top.
Overlay underfloor heating has all the advantages underfloor heating with the responsiveness and control of radiators.
This makes overlay underfloor heating a premium home heating system.
