Air-source ground-source heating is effective, energy-saving, eco-friendly, and safe, and is increasingly popular among users. However, some users are not utilizing its advantages due to improper usage. For instance, certain users turn on the temperature controller only when there are people present to save electricity, and turn it off when no one is around, which is actually a wrong approach.
An air-to-ground heating system operates at low temperatures, with the heating pipes laid within concrete. It requires pre-heating the concrete before providing heating, thus the ground radiation heating system boasts excellent heat storage capabilities. In this scenario, the system's performance exhibits a lagging effect, meaning it takes time after the system is turned on for the room temperature to reach the set temperature. Similarly, when the system is turned off, the indoor temperature does not drop rapidly; it takes a significant amount of time for the temperature to decrease.
The air-to-ground heating system has been tested. After the room temperature reaches the set temperature, the temperature drops by 2℃ to 3℃ within 24 hours when the power is cut off with the doors and windows closed, and by 5℃ to 6℃ after 48 hours. Therefore, the correct usage is to turn on the system when you feel cool in early winter and set it to the desired temperature. For rooms that are not frequently used, you can lower the temperature a few degrees. Only consider turning off the system when you will be away for an extended period. However, it is important to note that if there are any equipment or pipes in the room that are prone to freezing, the system should still be kept on to prevent them from cracking due to freezing.
Proper usage of air-source ground heating requires setting the temperature to the desired level, or opting for an intelligent thermostat that can automatically calculate the time to pre-heat. Particularly for areas with peak-valley electricity rates (peak hours: 8:00-22:00, off-peak hours: 22:00-8:00; variations exist across regions, with the local power supply bureau's announcements being the final authority), intelligent programming can be utilized to make full use of off-peak electricity for heating at night and maintain a保温 state during peak hours during the day, thereby reducing electricity costs.
