There is no better feeling than having a warm and cozy indoor environment during cold winters. However, to keep the temperature of your room in your control, you need to install an efficient heating system. This is what is best done by a hydronic Slab Heating system.
Slab Heating is a standard method for hydronic heating. This method of heating system converts the entire floor into a radiant heater, thereby producing a comfortable and warm indoor environment. However, this process only works if all the components are placed and attached in the proper way.
While installation of the slab heating is a difficult task and lengthy task, the system can develop some problems if all the work are not done in a proper manner. To make your work easier, we guide you in taking care of some everyday things. These are certain very common errors one must avoid during the installation process.
1. Proper layout
The most important part of installing a slab heating hydronic system is its layout. You should have a well-planned layout that includes shaping of the pipes, adjustment of various parameters based on the supply of water and proper thickness of the floor. If not planned properly, all these things can not only lead to problems in the system but also need a higher cost of maintenance.
2. Proper connection of pipes
The length of the heating circuit in each room should not exceed more than 100 m, as it depends on the diameter of the pipe, though, and each loop should be made of one continuous length of pipe. The pipes should also be placed at regular intervals and in a symmetrical position. This will ensure an even distribution of heat.
3. Sequence of installation
The components of your Central Heating system must be done in the correct order. The manifold system and the manifolds should be laid first; after that, the pipes should be laid as per the design.
Finally, the heating radiator is to be attached to the system. Remember to make all the arrangements at the beginning of the house construction process. One more important factor is to place the floor heating distribution box close to the heating system.
4. Usage of heating controllers
Most of the agencies make the common mistake of not installing a good quality controller and heat management unit. This, in turn, leads to energy loss in the system. You should only install a high-quality unit provided by Sung Heating to ensure maximum efficiencies of the system.
