Types OF HEATING TO ENJOY OF THE HEAT IN YOUR HOME
A warm home in winter is synonymous of place confortable and cosy, from here the importance to devote sufficient time to choose the type of heating more adapted for each house.
We can do a classification of the different types of heating in function of the source of energy that use (electricity, solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass, gas, solar energy, etc.). This, however, will not be the only criterion to take to choose the best heating for our house: the efficiency of the system depend multiple variables, among them own appearances of the house (like geographic location, size, distribution, materials of construction, type of isolation, level of incidence of the solar rays, etc.) and of the people that coexist in her of usual form.

To continuation will accost which are the types of heating more important, which are his technical characteristics and which are his main advantages and disadvantages.
His operation is quite simple, as they do not need a special installation, and only have to connect to the electrical net. The electrical heatings are sure, do not require maintenance and allow to regulate the temperature, what contributes to a main comfort.
Among the distinct types of electrical heating distinguish go in:
The heating by gas keeps on being one of the most used systems in our country although it requires installation and maintenance. Like fuel, uses natural gas, gas butano (or propano) and diesel. The heatings of this type offer an important performance calorífico, by which recommend in cold zones.
The main types of heating by gas are:
2)With systems of biomass, the known like termoestufas, that heat the water of a circuit of radiators.
To the equal that other types of heating, this demands the installation of radiators, what augments the initial investment. His advantage is that the system is scalable, being able to be for an only user or for all an edifice (the called central heating).
The biomass is a source of renewable energy that obtains through diverse organic materials like the wood or the pellets. The boilers with biomass work of similar form to any another boiler: the heat generated by the combustion of the biomass is transmitted to the circuit of water in the exchanger incorporated in the boiler, with what obtains hot water for the system of heating or ACS. In addition to the boilers, inside this group of systems of heating are especially known the stoves of pellets, since they are those that main power calorífica and autonomy present.
In spite of being one of the types of heating more efficient, the geothermal heating is still very unknown in our country. The geotermia uses the energy stored under the surface of the earth. It treats of a clean system that takes advantage of the energy of the subsoil of ecological form. His main problem is that it requires an important investment in installation and elements like the accumulator of ACS, radiators, fancoils, etc.
The solar heating is a system that allows to take advantage of the rays of the sun to turn them electrical or thermal energy and, therefore, in heat that can use so much for heating as to heat water.

Types of heating
Electrical heating
His operation is quite simple, as they do not need a special installation, and only have to connect to the electrical net. The electrical heatings are sure, do not require maintenance and allow to regulate the temperature, what contributes to a main comfort.
Among the distinct types of electrical heating distinguish go in:
- Bombs of heat. The bombs of heat are systems of air conditioned with double functionality: heat in winter and cold in summer. BECAUSE OF this duality, are one of the types of heating with which before amortise the initial investment. The bomb of heat also is a comfortable system, since we can choose the temperature that want to (even program it) and always will obtain a fast distribution of the heat. This system is especially recommended in zones with warm climate and soft winters.
- Radiant soil. The systems of climatización by radiant soil work thanks to a net of installed plastic pipe under the paving that does to circulate hot water causing that the heat irradie from the soil. This type of heat is efficient in the coldest zones, and his energetic consumption is very low. The fact of not using external elements (for example, radiators) also can see like an advantage to win space in the house. The main problem is his price, since it requires an important investment.
- Emisores Thermoelectric. They are the traditional radiators of oil. This type of heating generates heat thanks to a thermal oil that heats by means of an electrical resistance. The radiators work of autonomous way, and do not require previous installation. Another of his advantages is that, when turn them, follow releasing heat during hours, endowing of some autonomy to the system. It treats of a type of radiator with a tall can calorífico, what guarantees an almost immediate comfort, thanks to the capacity that present to heat the stay in which they find .
- Convectores Electrical. The convectores heat the air through some resistances enchufadas to the electrical current. Since the hot air weighs less than the cold, this ascends heating the room where finds installed the device. The convectores are one of the types of heating more comfortable and cheap of the market, and allow to heat the stays of fast and simple form. TESY Has of a catalogue of convectores electrical murales that allow the manipulation of the convector via Internet (technology TESY Cloud). Besides, thanks to the finishing taken care that present are easily integrable in any space, without breaking the harmony of the stay in which they find .
- Stoves. If we speak of comfort, possibly the stoves are the system of heating more basic: they do not require installation neither previous investment, and have a big capacity calorífica. Besides, they do not consume too much, by what result economic.
Heating by gas and diesel
The heating by gas keeps on being one of the most used systems in our country although it requires installation and maintenance. Like fuel, uses natural gas, gas butano (or propano) and diesel. The heatings of this type offer an important performance calorífico, by which recommend in cold zones.
The main types of heating by gas are:
- Boilers of gas and of diesel. The main advantage of the boilers of gas is that they allow to obtain so much heating like sanitary hot water (ACS) in a lot of cases. The boilers of natural gas are one of the types of heating more efficient and comfortable. His main problem is that no in all the places exists an infrastructure to do arrive the gas. The boilers with diesel, although they are a good option for cold zones and move of big cities, use a less clean fuel and require of a deposit to store the diesel.
- Radiators of water. The heating with radiators can work with two types of system:
2)With systems of biomass, the known like termoestufas, that heat the water of a circuit of radiators.
To the equal that other types of heating, this demands the installation of radiators, what augments the initial investment. His advantage is that the system is scalable, being able to be for an only user or for all an edifice (the called central heating).
Heating by biomass
The biomass is a source of renewable energy that obtains through diverse organic materials like the wood or the pellets. The boilers with biomass work of similar form to any another boiler: the heat generated by the combustion of the biomass is transmitted to the circuit of water in the exchanger incorporated in the boiler, with what obtains hot water for the system of heating or ACS. In addition to the boilers, inside this group of systems of heating are especially known the stoves of pellets, since they are those that main power calorífica and autonomy present.
Geothermal heating
In spite of being one of the types of heating more efficient, the geothermal heating is still very unknown in our country. The geotermia uses the energy stored under the surface of the earth. It treats of a clean system that takes advantage of the energy of the subsoil of ecological form. His main problem is that it requires an important investment in installation and elements like the accumulator of ACS, radiators, fancoils, etc.
Solar heating
The solar heating is a system that allows to take advantage of the rays of the sun to turn them electrical or thermal energy and, therefore, in heat that can use so much for heating as to heat water.
Inside the types of heating distinguish go in:
- Thermal solar energy. It uses solar signposts to capture the solar radiation and transform it in thermal energy.
- Photovoltaic solar energy. In this case, the signposts take advantage of the solar radiation and make a direct transformation in electrical energy by means of the photovoltaic effect of the photovoltaic cells.
