Hello, I have a question: which is healthier and why – an electric mat underfloor heating system (electromagnetic pollution) or a water-based underfloor heating system (flowing water—geopathic stress zones)?

Definitely water in any case

For me, only a water-based heating system would be an option, since we are already exposed to enough smog from electrical systems and devices. Water is a natural element, so there is no need to worry about potential harm. We have installed it that way in our home as well, and it works really well.

Hello
I don’t find either option ideal. I have problems with my veins, and the heat coming from below is not good for me. It always makes my legs feel heavy, and I have to keep my feet elevated. If I had known this, I would have preferred to avoid this type of heating.

At first glance, it sounds better to say that a heating system using water is better than one with electricity. But what about underground water veins? Someone came to my place with a dowsing rod and said that you also need to be careful with water.

Hello everyone

Why do you always want to use air as a heating medium? Underfloor heating is the worst type of air heating. The healthiest option for people is radiant heating. With a heating strip installed along the exterior walls, you can forget about insulation and still save 30% energy. CHEAP and SIMPLE!

I don't quite understand the idea of skipping insulation. The baseboard heater warms the wall (which in this case should probably be a solid wall made of stone due to better heat storage properties), but if the outside is not insulated, then you have a huge cold surface there. It’s a mystery to me how you expect to save 30% energy with that.
