Most, if not all central heating is comprised of a boiler, radiator and the underlying pipework that provides the heat. Some piping may be routed under flooring, which creates heated floors, which also goes under the same system of a heating source that runs through pipes through the house.

In the American market, in some states people might wonder what the use of central heating is, but in colder climates, especially like in the UK, the need for heating within the home that isn’t an open fire is apparent as they go through very cold seasons.
Heating your home is quite important since you want your home to be a habitable and comfortable environment. Your central heating system needs to be reliable and functional, but which type of heating you want to use in your home is up to you. Different types will dictate different energy costs, which can surprise some people as there can be discernable differences depending on your usage.
The first type of central heating system is the most traditional type, using a boiler system to create heat through steam. This is an example of a open vented system as heat is generated through a radiator circuit. This is a somewhat dated system that isn’t used in newer draft homes, but is still definitely used to this day, as it’s capability is still on the same level as newer systems.
Another type of central heating systems is based of a gas system. Combusted gas is used to create heat, meaning a pilot light is required for the system to work. A convenient advancement has provided this system with an electric starter, which can detect when the pilot light has snuffed out, which used to be a common annoyance with this system.
The third type is an electrical system, using a circuit to heat the home.
Out of the three types, both gas and electric systems are deemed to be economic in terms of the monthly cost, both are quite energy efficient and are both equally as capable of heating your home. You will have to see how your usage warrants a different type of central heating, as some systems can be more costly depending on your usage.
You will have to account for what your home is equipped to do, as not all properties can use a gas heating system. If you were deciding between a choice of gas or electric, it would really help you plan ahead to see which system is going to save you money ahead of time when it comes to installation of the system. Different areas may have specialists and it’s often recommended you have a system that is easily installed and repaired in your area, as having the only gas system in your town radius when every other property has an electric system means you are going to have to employ technicians away from your radius. PJ Bryer have Engineers that are experts in gas central heating and electric powered heating systems.
When you go to choose your central heating system, you need to become informed. Compare the pro’s and con’s between all systems and contact reputable heating installation companies for a survey and quote and you’ll know you’ve picked the most efficient and cost effective solution for your property.
