Is it better to install floor heating or air conditioning in your house?
1. Cost: Take a house of 120 square meters as an example. If you use 1.5P air conditioner for heating, you need about three such air conditioners. According to the price of 3 thousand yuan each, the cost of installing air conditioner is about 9 thousand yuan. The initial installation cost of floor heating is about 40 thousand, and the boiler is about 55 thousand In this contrast, the cost of air conditioning is much lower. Generally speaking, however, the service life of air conditioners is about fifteen years, and that of floor heating is fifty years. Therefore, the installation cost of floor heating seems not too high.
2. Energy saving: Usually, this needs to be compared according to the weather conditions. Under the condition that the air conditioner does not need electric auxiliary heating, taking 1.5 horsepower air conditioner as an example, it can release three times of heat per degree of electricity consumption, which saves a lot of electricity compared with floor heating. But if the air humidity is high, the air conditioner will defrost, which not only consumes electricity but also does not heat. Moreover, in the long-term cold north, even if the air conditioner is turned on 24 hours a day, the heating effect is definitely not as good as floor heating. And the air conditioner is on all day, and the cost can be imagined, which is definitely much more expensive than floor heating.
3. Comfort: Generally, the air in air conditioning is blown from top to bottom, so it is easy for the human body to feel hot in the head and cold in the feet. Moreover, this heat dissipation is uneven, so the whole space cannot be heated evenly. Floor heating is different. Because the floor heating is buried underground, the hot air naturally radiates from the bottom up, and the heat gradually rises from the feet of the human body, so the human body will feel warm and comfortable, which is also of great benefit to human health.
