Installation of Radiator Systems
Installation of radiators requires fitting a suitably sized radiator usually under or near a window on an outside wall or wall adjacent to an outside wall. Running pipe work to the boiler. The boiler can be inside or outside with a small flue. The boiler needs electricity for a small pump and controls and usually natural gas. A thermostat controller is installed on the inside wall usually in the hall 1.5m off the ground.

A Short History For Radiator Heating Wellington
Radiators have been around world wide for hundreds of years. The Romans were using hot water to heat buildings thousands of years ago. Older radiators were cast iron and are still used today. More modern units are pressed steel. Original systems were gravity fed and that system is still common in large commercial buildings. The more modern type is called small bore heating and involves a pumped piping system. Often piping is installed under the floor. Sometimes these systems are called English or European heating systems.
Radiator Types
Radiators come in all shapes and sizes and are rated to room size and type of room or space available. For example there are tall slim radiators for bathrooms that look like a ladder. There are long slim models for under window. Radiators can also have thermostats fitted for individual room control.
Boiler Types
There are boilers of all types for just heating or heating and domestic hot water. Over seas the most common system is both domestic hot water and central heating in the one unit. There are lots here too. Boilers are installed inside or outside. There are standard unit and high efficiency units that are condensing which means all the heat has been extracted from the flue gases until they have condensed to water. Which means very little heat is lost up the flue.
