Large户型住宅 compared to small户型住宅, are better suited for electric underfloor heating.
Actually, it's merely a lack of understanding or misinterpretation of the electric radiant heating system, or even... it's just an egotistical subjective judgment! Truly, it takes a mouth to spread rumors and legs to refute them!
For villa, duplex, mezzanine, and self-built houses with large floor areas, heating systems are actually more suitable for electric underfloor heating than for small residential units.
Let's summarize and analyze, focusing on the 9 common areas of confusion when choosing underfloor heating.
Villas, split-level, and large-area floor plans have substantial size, necessitating a correspondingly large electrical load capacity. Most villas and large-area floor plans are equipped with 380V power supply to accommodate the electrical load of air conditioners and home appliances. HOCHTIEF's electric underfloor heating, however, operates on 220V, the standard voltage for household appliances. 380V, which is a three-phase four-wire system with three live wires and one neutral, means that each live wire is 220V apart from the neutral. This implies that 380V is not just a higher voltage but equates to having three 220V lines, roughly equivalent to an increased electrical load capacity for functionality.
2. The size of the house and the heated area of the underfloor heating are two different matters.
Even for villas or luxury homes over 1000 square meters, people only use one bed for rest at night. With three generations of the family plus a保姆, they typically need around 5 rooms. Even during the peak summer heat, few families see the need to run air conditioning in every room—it's not just about the cost; it's about whether such extravagance is necessary.
Why run the radiant heating system at full capacity during the winter, especially in rooms that are rarely used or not used at all when family members are scarce, or in the hall after everyone has gone to bed at night? It's unnecessary and in reality, it's very seldom used that way.
Traditional Chinese medicine expert Deng Tietao emphasizes the importance of nurturing the heart and virtue in health preservation. He advocates for alternating cold and hot temperatures, which can promote blood circulation, enhance vitality, and alleviate fatigue. Even in the very cold Hulun Buir region of Inner Mongolia, with its well-insulated housing structures, the house does not need to operate at full capacity when unoccupied.
3. Neglected debugging and subsequent maintenance issues
Water-based radiant heating is not the same as electric radiant heating. Each room in HOCHTIEF's electric radiant heating comfort heating system is independent, with no neighborly relationships or mutual influence. Water-based radiant heating, on the other hand, is interconnected, which leads to different resistance in the water system across different floors, areas, and distances. Consequently, the flow rate and the time required to reach a certain temperature also vary significantly, and the differences can be substantial. It can only be achieved through installation and adjustment. Radiator adjustments are relatively easier, but to fine-tune each room for water-based radiant heating requires effort. It's often left to the hope of encountering a dedicated, responsible, and meticulous installer. This is a common issue among many water-based radiant heating users and HVAC merchants. The adjustment process can take a long time, with the heating effect being assessed and adjusted multiple times over several days. It's not always a one-time fix, and some systems may require annual adjustments.
And heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) suppliers often add equipment like booster pumps, mixing valves, and coupling tanks to increase pressure and balance water pressure to reduce the workload during the warranty period and boost profits. However, this does not solve the problem and actually complicates the radiant heating system, leading to increased installation costs, higher rates of equipment system failures, and maintenance costs. Most importantly, these are all costs incurred after the warranty period...
By the above hints, it is crucial to recognize that simplicity is key to being effective, stable, and cost-efficient. Often in life, ease is more important than saving money.
Villas, duplexes, and self-built houses may have large floor areas, but when it comes to winter heating, just like using air conditioning for summer cooling, it's generally not advisable to turn on all the underfloor heating in every room at once. This can lead to unnecessary hassle, time-consuming expenses, and is simply not necessary.
4. Rapidly heating radiant floor heating is equivalent to using energy-saving.
So, while natural gas water ground heating saves energy per unit cost, it's all wasted in speed due to its capabilities. When you break it down, not only do you not save anything, you might even end up spending more. According to a report from Guiyang City, the average annual gas cost for households using gas heating in Guiyang is over 950. Using HOCHTIEF Hohenschwangau electric ground heating is much more energy-efficient and cost-effective than natural gas water ground heating.
6. Simple and flexible installation is equivalent to
Villas, duplexes, mezzanines, and self-built houses, despite their large living space, often have a high number of residents. Therefore, when it comes to the demand for radiant heating systems, not all rooms necessarily need to be equipped with underfloor heating. However, with dual-fuel options like natural gas or air-source heat pumps, the high cost typically starts with the main unit. Since the main unit has been purchased, it seems wasteful not to install full-house radiant heating, especially when considering options like a wall-mounted boiler that can cover 100㎡ or 200㎡. With the substantial costs already incurred, it's natural to proceed with the installation throughout the entire house.
In the past, HOCHTIEF has set the standard for comfortable heating systems in residential and commercial spaces with the development of far-infrared heating technology for baby incubators, making temperature adapt to you, not the other way around.

Carbon Fiber Electric In-Floor Heating, carbon fiber is a microcrystalline graphite material obtained through carbonization and graphitization of fibers. The microstructure of carbon fiber is similar to artificial graphite, featuring a disordered layered graphite structure.
Electrical radiant heating installation precautions:
Before installing electric underfloor heating, ensure that the power lines and electricity meter capacity can support the system's power load. For those that are insufficient, apply for an increase in power capacity first to meet the system's power requirements.
2. For newly constructed or newly renovated residential properties, after the system is installed and ground decoration is completed, it is necessary to wait for the ground to naturally dry (approximately 28 days) before heating. During ground decoration, be mindful to avoid damaging the heating cable to prevent system damage.
3. Strictly prohibit the use of joists as subflooring for flooring installation to avoid nails piercing the ground and damaging cables, causing electric leakage.
4. Choose home decorations with a base at least 4 inches off the ground to allow heat dissipation and prevent damage to furniture from underfloor heating.
5. Upon first-time system startup, the initial warming rate is slower, taking at least 3 hours, and up to 12 hours if the ground heat storage layer is thick. Additionally, there is a structural heat storage process, which typically lasts for about a week. During this period, do not lower the heating temperature or shut down the system.
6. During heating, turn the thermostat switch to the "on" position, then adjust the ground temperature and room temperature. Initially, set the temperature to a lower level (base temperature 3℃), and after the heating cable has been running for a while, gradually increase the temperature.
7. When away for an extended period, ensure that systems in rooms with water supply and drainage, such as bathrooms and kitchens, are not turned off. Set the room temperature around 5°C to prevent pipes from freezing and cracking.
Electricity is a clean and renewable energy source. With the vigorous development of China's electricity industry, the proportion of renewable electricity such as hydropower, nuclear power, photovoltaic solar energy, wind power, and biomass power is continuously increasing. The reform of the power system is advancing step by step, and electricity prices will align with the world, becoming increasingly lower. Using electric heating instead of the existing centralized heating with carbon fiber ground heating is conducive to achieving the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction. At the same time, the rapidly evolving technology of electric heating has already demonstrated its performance, stability, and energy efficiency.
Carbon fiber electric ground heating systems feature carbon fiber, a new material with mechanical properties. Its density is less than one-fourth that of steel. The tensile strength of carbon fiber reinforced plastic composites typically exceeds 3500 MPa, which is 7 to 9 times that of steel, with a tensile modulus of elasticity ranging from 230 to 430 GPa, similar to steel. The higher the specific strength of the material, the lighter the weight of the component, and the higher the specific modulus, the greater the stiffness of the component. This indicates the broad application prospects of carbon fiber in engineering.
