I had these in my apartment in London, our home was never cold and our monthly energy costs were cheap. I compare that to our home in California and the forced air induction we have is expensive and needs to be running almost all the time to maintain heat in the home.
Very informative videos by PEX Universe, keep them coming! We have an oil furnace, forced hot water cast iron radiators system. Can two small single panel radiators be added into the system??
Wonderful video. We have an older type hot water system with large cast iron radiators that we will keep. There is one room without any heat. Can this be added to just that one room? It's one single closed loop system.
I never had radiators for heat until now. I just moved into an old house that is heated by old fashioned radiators. The house is always a warm perfect temperature. And the heat/energy bill is the lowest I’ve ever had. And the crazy thing is I live in Pittsburgh, PA - USA, in a house that was built in 1902. They have all this modern so called energy efficient technology; but the system that was put in 125 years ago was actually more efficient and cheaper. I think we are being scammed people.
My house is on the slub, no basement or crawl spase, can I still have this kind of heating? How radiators connect with boiler, can you hide it in the wall?
I have a old school Boiler are Panel Radiators basically plug and Play with Loop baseboard water Heaters???. I saw in the video a condensed boiler system.
I’m getting ready to put a system in on an owner/builder home I’m building. It has R40 walls and R60 ceiling. Right now I’m just keeping heat in it to work. I have a small 15000 BTU Toyo and it can’t heat 2000 sqft above 55 when it is -35 out.I’m getting gas next summer.
I currently have baseboard heating with the boiler cycling on and off based on the input from the thermostats. How could I use my existing boiler to pair it with these radiators? Do I need an accumulator tank for this to work? (Thus, the boiler cycles on/off and is controlled by a thermostat on the accumulator, and from the accumulator the water is constantly fed via a pump to the radiators.)
I just replaced my gas boiler with an Energy Kinetics RT. Unfortunately, about 6 weeks later, one of my radiant heat pipes started to leak. I am hoping my heating contractor can get a few panel radiators in my living room. Are any of the available brands better or worse?
Is there a radiator style that has higher BTU output? Are the “old style” radiators higher than the new ones you are showing here? Planning to install air-to-water heat pump and want to get the highest output in order to run lower flow temps.
Can you use these with a wood boiler? And would it be possible to have a combined system or using radiant floor heating system on the first floor and these radiators on the second floor? Thank you!
What? "So regular forced air heaters are convection heat baseboards require high water temperatures to have an effect BTU, and this results in large temperature differences in the room where hot water collects at the ceiling and cooler air at the floor level." This was your sentence, had to listen to it several times. What are you saying?? Are you saying boiler baseboard heat results in hotter air at ceiling? Hot air rises naturally so isn't that always the case? Or are you talking about forced air heat?
Bosch Thermotechnology is based in Germany so these are made in Europe. The company also manufactures other products in the United States and Canada, but these radiators are made in Europe since that's where most of them are sold.
@@PEXUniverse I'm surprised they aren't more popular here in the US. The installers tend to push the high efficiency condensing boilers even though most houses have high temp fin tube emitters. It seems to me that you would get better performance and comfort with a lower-temp system based on these panel radiators.
@@darrinmc That seems to be true. I think these panel radiators will continue to gain popularity in the states in the coming years. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
@PEX Universe is there any risk of burning your hands to the touch on these radiators I’m considering mounted them in a kids room. Any information is appreciated.
You can regulate the heat temperature and also most intense heat is inside and air lifting it out through perforation on the top. I grew up with radiators like that no danger to the kids:).
Can I add these panels to my house hot water line that already has a recirculating pump and return line.I might need to increase the hot water temperature coming from my hot water heater to make this panels effective but add temperature mixing valves to faucets and showers to prevent burn. Is this possible?
Angelo C. If you asking this question-You better stay away from any kind of plumbing, and better forget that you ever saw this video!!!! It will be best your you and anyone around you to take my advice to heart!!
Don't ever do that because you are causing cross-contamination of your potable (drinking) water. this a steel panel Rad which has rust, oils, paints, etc. You don't ever mix potable water with heating system water. Don't ever do it.
My Alexa was triggered by something at the beginning of the video, and then the thermostat was set to 130 degrees. Fortunately, it's still summer, and my furnace switch is still off.....
