I would use an electric boiler and use hot water to heat your floor. It is much more economical. Check with your local plumber and he will give you a quote.

What was Rome's greatest achievements?

It is a matter of opinion. Great achievements of Roman engineering were the stone-paved roads, bridges which were based on sequences of arches and could cross much wider rivers and valleys than before, the aqueducts, the hypocaust (an underfloor heating system for houses) and fortification systems. With regard to weapons, the Romans greatly improved on the ballisata, a crossbow-like catapult which they originally adopted from the Greeks. The Roman also had good drainage and irrigation systems for agriculture.

How To Decide On Radiant Heat Flooring?

Imagine waking up on a cold morning and stepping out on a warm floor. This is great, especially if the normal climate is cold, such as in the winter months or in the mountains. An experience like this is possible through a radiant heating system installed underneath the floor. Radiant heating consists of heat generated through either electrical heating elements or heated water. Both types of systems are installed underneath the floor, thus the entire house is warmed as a single unit. How does one choose whether this system is the right one? Here’s how. 1) The first step is deciding whether to purchase an electric or hydronic radiant heating system. Electric systems are easier to install and cost much less than hydronic systems. They also eliminate a lot of the labor costs because the electrical heating system can often be connected directly to the system already present in the home. Hydronic systems require tubing to be placed beneath the floor, pumps to move the hot water, and probably a second boiler or water heater. In addition, the tubing is usually placed beneath a concrete floor, which means the additional expense of pouring concrete, letting it dry and installing the tubing before pouring. 2) The existing flooring can partially determine the choice. Since electric radiant heating requires a space between floors in order to insert the electrical elements. The good news for a hydronic system is that the floor does not need to be remodeled in order to install it; the joist underneath the subfloor will usually work fine. If the decision is made to remodel the floor, concrete or ceramic tile works best with radiant floor heating, especially with a hydronic system. The heat from the water is easily conducted through the floor into the air of the house. 3) There is one downside that makes hydronic radiant heat systems more attractive than electric systems: electric systems cost more in the long run than hydronic systems. For this reason, there are typically installed only in a small part of the house, like a bathroom or bedroom. Hydronic systems actually save up to as much as a third from the yearly heating costs.


What is solar thermal power?

It is called Solar thermal. Solar power can refer to the other type of solar energy which produces electricity. A solar thermal system is uses the suns heat to heat water in a storage vessel. Normally solar thermal is used to heat domestic hot water, but if a larger system is fitted it can contribute a small amount to other heating requirements such as underfloor heating. Also solar thermal is very good for heating swimming pools.
