Warm air space heating – Water to air
This system uses fans to draw air across to a heat exchanger that is filled with circulating hot water which then in turn heats the air and distributes it evenly throughout the indoor space. Due to the nature of this system, it is great for heating spaces that require constant temperatures.
The heat source of hot water can either be oil, gas, LPG, electric, hot water through a heat exchanger or biomass. This is an extremely versatile system that can be very cost effective. Also, the heaters for this system can be mounted on walls, floor standing or suspended from the ceiling.
