Electric Underfloor Heating - AHT Heating
wrote:
The idea is that the alloy has no heat capacity at all and transfers
all the energy given to it immediately. That resulting in fast results
and no losses. They claim that in a well insulated house the real
consumption is only 20% of the time the heating is turned on. So if you
are running it for 10 hours a day, the consumption would only 2 hrs
worth.
Haha.
Taking the ****ing ****.
Also, the increased heat transfer area ensures more even heating.
Just adding what I have heard from the distributor and read from
marketing docs. No real experience with the material.
Run, as far and as fast as you can, possibly stopping at trading
standards on the way.
Conventional electric underfloor heating cable heats up well within 60
seconds, and the 'alloy' (which will have heat capacity, as all physical
objects do) will do much the same.
It will still have to heat cold floor structures, utterly swamping any
possible thermal capacity of the cable.
That's not to say it's any worse than other brands, but if their
marketing people tell blatant lies, why should you have more confidence
in their installation, or guarantee?
