Many Property Owners Prefer The So-Called Wet Heating System
In cold climates most homeowners find it necessary to prepare themselves for the cold, unpleasant winter months by having underfloor heating that works with gas boilers installed. This is opposed to other systems such as those that run on electricity. This system, the so-called wet system, relies on underfloor heating that is provided by gas-powered boiler systems and is preferred by most people in, for example, the UK. The wet, or hydronic, system is run via thin pipes which are laid under the floor. It is best to call in the services of an experienced company to install the system for you. There are companies that specialise in this type of heating system - some offer many years’ experience in their industry. You most probably want to call in a firm that knows what they’re doing in terms of gas boiler underfloor heating systems. Depending on which company you’re dealing with, some offer five or ten years, even twenty years experience and will, therefore, have installed hundreds and more of these systems. This means they will have all the information, correct materials and advice you may need from them. The thin pipes carry the warm/hot water throughout the house or apartment by releasing the heat from the water through the floors, thereby warming up the areas where these pipes are laid under the floor surface or carpet. The source of the heat will come from the main boiler that, in many cases, is a gas boiler which supplies the underfloor heating system with the necessary heat. Therefore this wet, or water based, system is also called the gas underfloor heating system. Many people prefer this system because gas is cheaper in countries such as the UK, for example; therefore this system is preferred over electricity, especially if you tend to use it fairly often.
