For many, the word “repair” sounds intimidating. And this is no accident: the number of manipulations that will need to be performed; materials that you need to choose, and this is a very responsible and painstaking task. After all, it depends on the choice of materials how qualitatively, long-term and safely an object will be made (apartment, house, etc.).
One of the important aspects of a comfortable life, especially in the cold season or off-season, is a heated room. To do this, there is a system of "warm floor". This device allows you to effectively and evenly increase the temperature of the room.
The system of underfloor heating is of two types: water and electric. The latter are divided into:
- heating resistive cables;
- heating mats (in fact, the same heating cable, only fixed to the grid);
- film infrared;
- rod infrared.
The principle of operation of heating with a heating cable is that the room is heated with wires with one or two conductive conductors and made of a material with a large specific resistance. With the passage of electric current, the cores are heated and transfer heat to the outer shell, as a result of which the floor surface is heated.
This article proposes to consider the disadvantages of cable type heating in order to familiarize the reader and prevent troubles in use.
Drawback 1. High cost of operation. When using a heating cable in the central heating of a large area, the heater power can reach 15-20kW, which will significantly increase the monthly electricity consumption.
Drawback 2. Danger of electric shock. Any type of electric heaters has this aspect and the floor, with the use of a heating cable, is no exception. It is especially necessary to consider this aspect in rooms with high humidity.
Drawback 3. Cable replacement. In case of failure, the heating wire will have to be completely replaced with a new one, since there is no option to replace a specific section.
Drawback 4. The time of complete warming up of the room. This, too, should be attributed to disadvantages, because a complete warm-up occurs within 1-2 hours from the moment of switching on.
Deficiency 5. A magnetic field. The heating cable, which is used as the main heating organ, creates an electromagnetic field that negatively affects the human body. Feeling sick, headache - all this can be the result of the use of a heating wire.
Given the shortcomings of this type of heating, it is quite possible to equip your home with comfort and without harm to health.
