Eye Of Singapore

In the early days of central heating, radiators and boilers were both huge. In fact, large radiators were seen as a status symbol, and admired. They were also made to be easily seen by guests, unless they thought the room had no heating.

In Northern Europe, central heating is now common, people expect a house to have some form of central heating. In fact, central heating has been taken for granted in newer houses for years/ages.

The trendy alternative is to have reverse-cycle air conditioning which works both as air conditioning and central heating. The ducts are usually hidden so you just have grilles through which the air is delivered. The floor and furniture are not affected.

Modern central heating can be unobtrusive, too, but like air conditioning is quite complicated to install. In the old days you just needed a plumber, but these days you need to get an electrician in to wire everything up and set up the timer and thermostat.

Modern radiators are more efficient than 20-30 years ago, but are still designed for ease of manufacture rather than high efficiency.In countries like Finland and Sweden, where they have very cold winters it is different. The radiators are usually concealed and are more like radiators if cars consisting of tube and sheet metal.

There is no doubt that in Europe a lot could be done to reduce energy consumption in houses by replacing old radiators with modern designs like those used in Canada. Even without that expensive change, the radiators in most houses would operate more efficiently if they were back-flushed every autumn.
