ᐅ Experience with wall heating systems? Looking for practical insights for a new build.

Hello everyone,

for our new build, we are considering installing a wall heating system and have researched the technical aspects accordingly. What I would like now are some practical experiences from other home builders...

Unfortunately, I don't have any personal experience, but it was frequently recommended during the planning phase. The only downside seems to be that you shouldn't place furniture in front of it. So, you are somewhat limited by it.

In a bathroom, however, this is certainly not a problem.

We have...

...had wall-mounted and underfloor heating in the bathroom and two basement living rooms for 4 years.

Our experience has been very positive, with a comfortable climate! However, in the bathroom, it is best to avoid leaving the window open for hours, as this can cause the walls to cool down significantly. Surface heating systems are deliberately slow to react.

Once the walls are warm again, we feel comfortable even at air temperatures of 18-19°C (64-66°F), including right after stepping out of the shower...

If we had the budget, we would gradually install wall and underfloor heating in every room during renovations...

Makes sense with the appropriate component activation.
However, this is quite complex and is based on recent research findings that still need to become widely known.

I would not give up on underfloor heating unless you like having cold feet.

Best regards
