Heating any building requires a different heating system depending on its use.
Domestic central heating systems that use efficient condensing boilers fuelled by heating oil, gas and other non renewable energy sources are ideal for water heating as well as space heating via radiators and underfloor heating systems. Electric heating is another option especially where an existing heating system does not quite meet a room’s requirements.
Renewable energy sources that include solar heating or energy provision from a geothermal source or air source heat pump are becoming more widely specified as new technologies enter the marketplace.
In the Heating section of Wholebuild, you’ll find information from product manufacturers, service contractors and supporting Associations like HETAS and CIPHE who provide details on plumbing and heating engineers.
