Rointe Heating Catalogue 2023 UK-IE - Catalog - Page 9
The storage heaters use
energy at night to heat the
interior firebricks for release
during the day. Therefore,
even if you want to, no heat
is available during the night.
Storage heaters
Heavy product that makes it difficult
to transport and install.
Only works with a specially
contracted night rate.
Gas boilers can be very
expensive to install and
maintain. You also need a
complex pipe network, prone
to heat loss, to bring the hot
water to all the radiators in
the house.
Gas central heating
Costly and complex to install.
High heat loss through the pipes
Annual maintenance and safety
revisions.
Does not allow heat to be available
when desired.
Dangerous and polluting fuel.
High consumption: they do not
usually include saving algorithms.
No possibility of individualising
control by radiator or room.
Heat driven by inefficient fans that
generate annoying drafts and move
dust.
Low efficiency: a large part of the
heat generated in the boiler escapes
in the form of fumes and unburned
fuel.
What about infrared heating?
Targeted heating, only works in a straight line. These heaters do not work
correctly if anything obstructs them.
They lose heat the moment they are turned off, as they do not warm the air of the room.
The heating coils within the product can be exceedingly hot as there is no safety functions to
regulate the temperature effectively. These products create high risks of burns.
