Infra red heating does not work. I've fitted plenty of systems for customers over the years and every single one has been ripped out and replaced with proper heating.
Is that for the heating of the tops of people's heads, the floor, or what?One interesting factor is that the panels can be mounted on the ceiling freeing up wallspace
Quite so - just like the zero CO2 footprint of electric cars,or hydrogen-fuelled cars etc. (in the minds of those who don't think to wonder where the electricity or hydrogen came from!).OMG. What a load of twaddle! There is a claim on the news page that the panels heat with zero CO2 footprint. (Apparently no CO2 comes out of the panel.) This makes them the greenest thing ever.
I agree with you in concept but, even if you are very young, I suspect that you may be being a bit optimistic about timescales (unless, perhaps, you are only talking about new builds)!Wet central heating may or may not last. But Gas Powered Wet Heating will certainly not last till I retire. ... At the moment the most likely contender is AirSource Pumps ....
Indeed. As I've observed before, one has to be of a certain again to remember what it was like when most of us relied on essentially radiant heating. The advent of domestic CH seemed to be like unimaginable magic - at last we could move around a warm room/house, rather than huddle around a heat source with very hot fronts and cold backs!But as far as the infrared heating goes, its not a practical alternative as said. It will do the same for your heating billes as wearing snowboarding gear in the house will. You'll save money but hte house will be cold.
I don’t doubt that there are some valid applications for radiant heating, but I think we need to keep in touch with what we’re actually talking about - which has to obey the laws of physics, not those of magic!So I am not saying infrared is not a workable system in fact I am saying it could work very well but what I am saying is controlling an infrared system is very complex and there is nothing in the link which suggests the writers have even cracked the basics never mind the complex system which would be required to run it in a controlled environment.
Lamb chops spring to mind...I don’t doubt that there are some valid applications for radiant heating,
