As spring approaches, many are planning to re-enter the real estate market. There are a lot of houses to choose from, and it seems I’ve recently received a lot of questions about heating: What are the different types? What's the best? How do I compare them?
So for all house hunters, here's a look at some of the most common types of heating systems, as well as some of the pros and cons.
So for all house hunters, here's a look at some of the most common types of heating systems, as well as some of the pros and cons.
Partition Heating
The district heating system is a specific area where the house is heated, not the whole house at once. The area can be a single room or a group of rooms. The thermostat controls only heaters or heaters in each area.Types of Heating Systems
Common types of area heating systems include:- wall heaters,
- column heaters,
- electric stoves or gas fireplaces,
- ceiling cable heating,
- radiant floor heat.
Electric wall heaters and power heaters are less expensive to install than central heating systems and do not have a plumbing system to maintain. On the other hand, they restrict the placement of the furniture in the room. In addition, they tend to burn dust on the components inside the heater and, over time, create dirt on the walls around the heater.
Radiant Ceiling Cables
Radiant ceiling cables are an outdated and inefficient system that can lose a lot of heat in the attic.
If you want to stay in only part of the house at a time, district heating can allow you to maintain different temperature settings in different areas. Well done, for the right people, this can save energy. However, if you move frequently or forget to move to other places at different temperatures during the day, you will quickly lose these savings.

Drawbacks
Two other potential drawbacks of district heating systems are their inability to add air conditioners, and they can compromise resale value depending on the market you enter.Central Heating
- The Sidon central heating system uses a single furnace that generates heating air and a fan and duct system to distribute this heated air throughout the home.
- Depending on the type of furnace, heat is produced by burning natural gas, propane, oil or wood, or by passing a current through a series of components. Some types of radiant floor heating systems will also be considered central heating systems.
- A single thermostat controls the heating needs of the entire house. This is more convenient, but it also means that your heated room may not be used at certain times of the day. You can close the unused rooms, but when you do, you will not be able to unbalance the heating needs of the entire system. Therefore, do not close the file without the help of a qualified heating contractor.
- Central heating systems are also suitable for other comfort factors. You can install a clock thermostat, also called a back thermostat. This allows you to set the thermostat clock to automatically rise and fall at specific times (for example, while sleeping or working).
- In other words, central heating is not always the most effective way of heating houses. The condition of the furnace must be considered, especially the condition of the piping system. Many older systems, even some newer systems, have loose connections and poor insulation, which can cause a lot of heat to be lost.
