You can outfit your flat or house with a regular heating system in many cases and it won’t make a huge amount of difference. However, there are times when a bespoke heating system is a much better option. If you have unique needs or a home that is more sustainable, then a bespoke system may be the best choice for you.
Here are a few of the reasons you may require a custom design for your space.
You Want Heated Floors
One of the most efficient methods of warming your home is through running hot water pipes or wiring through your floor to heat it up. As the heat rises, it uniformly heats the entire house and gives you the right level of warmth without using an excessive amount of energy.
Thermal floors can be a wonderful way to warm the home, but they do need to be designed to fit your particular layout. This means a bespoke system is best for you if you want this option. You can also determine if you want heated floors in every room or only in certain spaces.
Your Home is Older
Do you have a heritage home or simply an older house that you wish to keep in the same condition? Working with the original radiators and pipe placements will require some changes to the standard system. While it should be possible to fit your new HVAC system into the existing space, you’ll definitely want to talk to the heating company about the right options for this type of project.
The home will need to be inspected for safety and you may need new vents and other parts. However, with the bespoke option, you can ensure that the new system matches the old one as much as possible, to preserve the authenticity of the space.
You Prefer Ecologically Sound Choices
Eco-friendly heating systems do exist and they can be set up in your home to create the lowest carbon footprint possible. However, keep in mind that you will also need to talk to the heating company to learn which choices are best for the environment. Often, heat pumps are recommended and, depending on your area, either air or ground heat pumps could be the best choice for warming your home this winter.
Since there are so many different heating choices, you’ll want to learn which ones are available for you and how you can incorporate them into your home. Again, a heating company is the best way to learn about the right choices for you.
