Gasr
Most common type of central heating system which is also known as a wet system, heats up the water which is then pumped round the radiators and also provides hot water for taps. A gas-fired boiler is probably the most affordable system which is safe and reliable. Gas central heating is the most efficient and offers reasonable return on units of energy used. Efficiency depends on the type of radiator used which is of two types one is cast iron and other is aluminium. Among these Radiators made from cast iron is the best option because they have the ability to retain heat well and continue to disperse it long after the heating is turned off.
However there are many factors where the efficiency of gas system will be weighed. Gas prices will increase as the supply gets scarcer. If there is any inconvenience in your property to store other types of fuels and you already have a gas supply, it will be your only option. Moreover if your home is not already connected to the gas network, gas connection will be costly and disruptive.
Oilr
If your property is not connected to main gas or if you are living in rural areas oil heating systems are viable. It works similar to gas systems as the fuel heats the water, which is then pumped round the home and should have the same thermostatic controls and timers. The main difference is that the oil needs to be stored in a tank that can be over or under ground and fresh supplies delivered.
Like natural gas oil is very efficient, as there will also good result for energy used. There are also system in which their manufacturers claim 97% efficiency which is always good from both heating and money saving points of view.
There is a wrong assumption about central heating system is that it is smelly which may be due to the older steel tanks that is corroded and also if it is not cleaned out regularly. But nowadays tanks are made from plastic, extremely hard wearing and virtually odour free.
LPG
LPG is the most popular among the various choices in a central heating system. When we compared with other fuels having environment in mind, LPG has the lowest level of carbon emissions, prevents pollution which leads to threat to the soil, water and burns very cleanly with few emissions.
Similar to oil system the fuel needs to be stored in tanks or cylinders and that’s the reason it becomes a more viable option for rural properties or properties that are having plenty of storage space, even though LPG gas tanks are usually stored underground which means minimal impact on the look of the land. Moreover it is always cheaper than oil tank installation.
When you choose a central heating system you need to weigh up the pros and cons of each system, and you should contact experienced and reputable heating installation company for advice and quotation. This will let you to rest in peace knowing that you have the right system for your home one that is efficient and cost effective.
