Comparison of heating methods in winter

As a temporary heating method, air conditioning heating mainly heats rooms that are not warm enough. Although this method is quick and convenient, if it is not handled properly in terms of safety and environmental protection, it is very likely to become the main cause of spreading bacteria or inducing respiratory diseases.

Safety tip: ventilate to avoid the spread of bacteria. In order to effectively avoid the spread of germs, indoor ventilation must be carried out frequently when air conditioning is used for heating, because air conditioning is equivalent to internal circulation, and a large amount of indoor carbon dioxide and volatile pollutants will spread in the circulation.

Tips for environmental protection: wash frequently and humidify. Always clean the air-conditioning pipes and air-conditioning filters, and at the same time pay attention to selecting environmentally-friendly and safe cleaning materials to avoid secondary pollution. In addition, pay attention to humidifying the room frequently.

Energy saving tip: close unoccupied rooms. In order to ensure the effectiveness of air conditioning heating, it is best to close doors and windows and uninhabited rooms when turning on air conditioning.

Electric heater for heating:

Electric heaters, electric blankets and other electric heating methods are more targeted. Simply put, it is cold and warm, but this heating method is too direct, close to the human body and consumes a lot of electricity. Therefore, we should pay attention to safety, environmental protection and energy saving.

Safety tip: Strictly check before use to avoid scalding. Electric heating equipment cannot be separated from electricity. Therefore, strict inspection and protective measures must be taken before use to avoid potential safety hazards. For example, the heating tube of infrared electric heater is exposed, which will burn children if you are not careful; The electromagnetic radiation of electric blanket is high, so pregnant women and children had better use it carefully. Electric blanket is not suitable for soft mattress, because the electric heating wire is easy to break and leak electricity; It is best to turn on the electric blanket before going to bed and turn it off when sleeping; In addition, if children have the habit of wetting the bed or the elderly can't take care of themselves, it is best not to use electric blankets.

Tips for environmental protection: Wipe the electric heater regularly. The quality of oil-filled electric heaters is uneven. Some inferior products may leak oil after a period of use, or smell after heating, which will cause serious indoor pollution. Therefore, it is best to choose products of regular brands. The electric heater should be carefully inspected before use, and the mesh surface and heating rod should be wiped regularly with a dry cloth to remove the dust and dirt on it, so as not to cause the indoor inhalable particulate matter concentration to rise. In addition, the electric heater should not be too close to people, otherwise local heating for a long time will reduce the human immune ability and affect the respiratory system.

Tips for energy saving: Use different electric heating products for short-term heating and long-term heating. The purchase of electric heating products must be based on the actual use. For short-time local heating, you can choose infrared and electric heating tube heaters. You can buy oil-filled radiators for long-term heating in the whole room.

Geothermal heating:

Geothermal heating is the most popular heating method in recent years. Different from other heating methods that use hot air or hot air to raise indoor temperature, geothermal heating pipes are laid under ground decoration materials to raise the temperature from bottom to top, which is uniform and comfortable to use. But it is precisely because the scope of use is not wide enough that consumers still have many questions and misunderstandings in the purchase, safety and use of floor heating.

Safety tip: Choose products with long service life, and don't damage the pipeline. Geothermal heating is not only comfortable and practical, but also fashionable. There are naturally many people who buy more and sell more. The floor heating in the market is thin and thick, which attracts attention. Experts remind that because the floor heating is laid "underground", it will be difficult to maintain once there is a problem. Therefore, if you want to use it with confidence, it is best to choose brand products; Floor heating mainly relies on pipes laid on the ground to dissipate heat, so don't destroy the pipes when you finish laying the floor heating and then carry out other decoration steps.

Environmental protection tip: floor heating may cause pollution. Most families who use geothermal heating choose laminate flooring or solid wood composite flooring. Although the release of harmful substances from these materials meets the national standards, if the floor is laid in a large area, the formaldehyde pollution index of the floor is likely to be improved or accelerated under the influence of the high temperature of geothermal materials.

Energy-saving tip: Tiles heat up quickly. Floor heating is heat transfer from bottom to top, and materials with fast heat transfer are naturally more energy-saving. For example, tiles are a good choice. If you lay a wooden floor, you must choose a special floor to avoid cracking and deformation.

Central heating:

Central heating is the most commonly used heating method in cities at present. Because it is municipal heating, it is relatively stable in temperature maintenance and safety, and the cost is not high. Different from other heating methods, the later maintenance quality of radiator may directly affect its service life and safety index, and consumers must pay enough attention to it.

Safety tip: Beware of bursting and falling off. In order to prevent the corrosion and aging of heating pipes, the safety of heating pipes should be checked before and after heating in winter every year, especially in old houses; For families that have undergone secondary decoration or transformation and installed radiators, the installation of wall-mounted radiators must be safe, reasonable and firm to avoid potential safety hazards such as radiator falling off.

Environmental protection tip: clean frequently to avoid bacterial growth. Always clean the radiator and its surroundings to avoid environmental problems caused by long-term accumulation of various pollutants; Pay attention to indoor ventilation. Don't close doors and windows for a long time to keep the temperature. It is suggested that the indoor temperature should be kept at 16℃ to 24℃. If the temperature is too high, germs are more likely to breed and spread.

Energy saving tip: Try not to wrap the radiator. For the sake of beauty, we often wrap the radiator with poor appearance and hide it in various cabinets. This looks beautiful, but the actual effect of heating is also greatly reduced. The heating is not warm, and temporary heating equipment with high power consumption such as air conditioners or electric heaters naturally becomes guests. Calculate carefully that this practice is a waste. Therefore, family decoration should try not to pack heating.

Home heating:

Compared with central heating, household heating is more autonomous, and the temperature can be adjusted at any time as needed, which is convenient and energy-saving. However, due to this heating method, gas stoves must be put into households, so the potential safety hazard cannot be ignored, and consumers who choose household heating must pay attention to it.

Safety tip: prevent the gas stove from leaking or flowing backwards. In order to prevent unnecessary danger, it is necessary to check the gas stove regularly to see if there is any phenomenon such as rubber hose leakage or gas backflow. In addition, in order to facilitate the regular inspection of gas stoves, try not to enclose the gas stoves when decorating the kitchen.

Environmental protection tips: strengthen indoor ventilation. Ventilation by opening the window every day is the most direct and effective way to keep the indoor air fresh, especially in kitchens with gas stoves, which should be ventilated regularly.

Energy saving tip: the temperature can be adjusted at any time. The biggest advantage of home heating is that it can adjust the temperature at any time as needed. For example, people who go to work can turn on the low temperature during the day and turn on the high temperature after work, saving energy and money. However, experts also remind consumers that if they are away from home for a long time, it is best to turn on the antifreeze file and not turn off the gas stove completely in order to save electricity, otherwise it will be easy to freeze the stove and the loss will outweigh the gain.

Coal stove heating:

For bungalows, suburbs and other places without modern heating equipment, coal stove heating is still one of the most important heating methods. In addition to the poor heating effect of coal stove, carbon monoxide poisoning is the most likely safety hazard. Experts remind consumers to be vigilant when using this heating method.

Safety tip: beware of carbon monoxide poisoning. In order to effectively avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, it is necessary to make adequate preparations such as purchasing coal stoves that meet safety standards, installing air buckets and carbon monoxide alarms.

Environmental protection tips: buy standard honeycomb coal. The tighter the doors and windows are closed, the warmer the doors and windows are, which is a major feature of coal stove heating. This feature has made many people give up the intake of fresh air, and also buried environmental protection problems at home. Therefore, timely ventilation is very important. In addition, buying national standard honeycomb briquette is the best way to prevent carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide pollution in indoor and atmospheric environment.
