When November arrives and the cold starts to creep into the corners of the house, we all ask ourselves the same question: What is the best heating system for my home? The answer depends on several factors; type of home, insulation, consumption, budget and habits, but one thing is clear: choosing the right one can make the difference between a comfortable winter or one full of high bills and cold rooms.
In this article we help you understand what options exist, which one suits you best and how to optimize your heating to make your home more efficient this winter.
How do you know which heating system is right for you?
Before choosing, think about:
- Size of your home
- Insulation of walls and windows
- Number of people and time spent at home
- Whether or not you have a previous installation
- Your initial budget and the monthly expense you are looking for.
There is no single universal answer, but there are systems that work best for certain types of homes. Let's go one by one.
Heat pump. If you're looking for the most complete option, a heat pump is probably the best heating system for your home. It uses aerothermal to capture energy from the outside air, even when it's cold, and convert it into heat.
Key advantages:
- Up to 40-60% less consumption than other systems.
- Heats quickly and evenly.
- Suitable for winter and summer.
- Can be combined with solar panels to reduce the bill to almost zero.
- Perfect for those looking for efficiency and sustainability.
What type of home is it ideal for? For well insulated apartments and houses, homes in which you want to have total air conditioning and in reforms in which you are looking for a modern and durable system.
Electric radiators. They can be useful when you only need to heat a specific room or when you do not want to do work.
Advantages:
- They do not require installation.
- Immediate ignition.
- Ideal for second homes or occasional stays.
Some disadvantages are the high consumption in continuous use and they are not really the best option to heat the whole house during the winter.
Underfloor heating. It provides a soft, continuous and very pleasant heat. It works at low temperature, so its consumption is reduced, especially if combined with aerothermal.
Advantages:
- Homogeneous heat throughout the house.
- Silent and without visible elements.
- High energy efficiency.
Who is it for?
It is ideal for home renovations, new construction or also for well insulated houses with regular use.
Solar energy + heating. In Mallorca we still have many hours of sunshine even in winter. That is why, if you install solar panels and combine them with an efficient system such as a heat pump, you can achieve real savings from the first month.
Advantages:
- Reduced electricity bill.
- Greater energy independence.
- If you install batteries, you can use the energy even at night or on cloudy days.
It is one of the smartest answers to the question "what is the best heating system for your home?", because your home generates its own energy.
Thermostats and home automation. A smart thermostat helps your system work only when it should, avoiding unnecessary consumption. Plus, you can program schedules according to your routine:
- You can program schedules according to your routine.
- Control the temperature from your cell phone.
- Save between 10 and 25% per month.
If you are considering what is the best heating system for your home in terms of control and efficiency, home automation completely changes the experience.
