The weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone turns on the heating equipment. I remember that radiators used to be very popular, but now I don't see anyone using them. More and more people are choosing to install underfloor heating. There is almost no market for radiators in our country, unless the old house cannot be installed with underfloor heating.
So why are there fewer people installing radiators? After reading the 4 disadvantages of radiators, it is not surprising.
First, it is not beautiful to occupy the space
Radiators are not like floor heating hidden in the ground, they are hung on the wall, very space-consuming, if the room is small, walking is afraid of bumping into it. The radiator is large in size and not good-looking, and when others come to the house as guests, they see it as soon as they enter the door, and it doesn't look beautiful.
Second, the cost of use is high
The installation cost of radiators is relatively high, and it costs 20,000 or 30,000 yuan to install a set of radiators in a house of more than 100 square meters, and it is more comfortable to install floor heating. And the radiator does not save money, a hundred square meters of a house, a month also costs one or two thousand gas bills. My cousin's house is 150 square meters and has 5 sets of radiators. Last year, it cost 3,000 a month, and this year she didn't dare to open it. Or save money with air conditioning.
3. Poor comfort
The temperature at which the radiator dissipates heat is uneven, the closer it is to the radiator, the hotter it is, and vice versa, the colder it is. The radiators don't heat the floor, and the floor tiles are still cool, so you can't run barefoot in socks.
Fourth, it is easy to accumulate dust
It is easy to generate dust. Dust and dirt on the surface of the radiator will drift into the indoor air with the hot air, affecting the indoor air quality. Because the surface of the radiator is prone to accumulate dust and dirt, it needs to be cleaned and maintained frequently, otherwise it will affect the heat dissipation efficiency and service life. However, cleaning radiators requires disassembly and assembly, and the operation is more complex and requires certain skills and experience.
In the case of decoration and tiling, it is recommended to choose to install floor heating, which has been almost decorated, and there is no need to remove and install floor heating. Nowadays, there are very few new houses in the north that are equipped with radiators, basically they are all installed with floor heating, and radiators have gradually been eliminated.
