I had these in my apartment in London, our home was never cold and our monthly energy costs were cheap. I compare that to our home in California and the forced air induction we have is expensive and needs to be running almost all the time to maintain heat in the home.
Wonderful video. We have an older type hot water system with large cast iron radiators that we will keep. There is one room without any heat. Can this be added to just that one room? It's one single closed loop system.
I have a old school Boiler are Panel Radiators basically plug and Play with Loop baseboard water Heaters???. I saw in the video a condensed boiler system.
My house is on the slub, no basement or crawl spase, can I still have this kind of heating? How radiators connect with boiler, can you hide it in the wall?
I currently have baseboard heating with the boiler cycling on and off based on the input from the thermostats. How could I use my existing boiler to pair it with these radiators? Do I need an accumulator tank for this to work? (Thus, the boiler cycles on/off and is controlled by a thermostat on the accumulator, and from the accumulator the water is constantly fed via a pump to the radiators.)
Is there a radiator style that has higher BTU output? Are the “old style” radiators higher than the new ones you are showing here? Planning to install air-to-water heat pump and want to get the highest output in order to run lower flow temps.
Can you use these with a wood boiler? And would it be possible to have a combined system or using radiant floor heating system on the first floor and these radiators on the second floor? Thank you!
I just replaced my gas boiler with an Energy Kinetics RT. Unfortunately, about 6 weeks later, one of my radiant heat pipes started to leak. I am hoping my heating contractor can get a few panel radiators in my living room. Are any of the available brands better or worse?
I’m getting ready to put a system in on an owner/builder home I’m building. It has R40 walls and R60 ceiling. Right now I’m just keeping heat in it to work. I have a small 15000 BTU Toyo and it can’t heat 2000 sqft above 55 when it is -35 out.I’m getting gas next summer.
Bosch Thermotechnology is based in Germany so these are made in Europe. The company also manufactures other products in the United States and Canada, but these radiators are made in Europe since that's where most of them are sold.
@@PEXUniverse I'm surprised they aren't more popular here in the US. The installers tend to push the high efficiency condensing boilers even though most houses have high temp fin tube emitters. It seems to me that you would get better performance and comfort with a lower-temp system based on these panel radiators.
@@darrinmc That seems to be true. I think these panel radiators will continue to gain popularity in the states in the coming years. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Very informative videos by PEX Universe, keep them coming! We have an oil furnace, forced hot water cast iron radiators system. Can two small single panel radiators be added into the system??
@PEX Universe is there any risk of burning your hands to the touch on these radiators I’m considering mounted them in a kids room. Any information is appreciated.
You can regulate the heat temperature and also most intense heat is inside and air lifting it out through perforation on the top. I grew up with radiators like that no danger to the kids:).
Can I add these panels to my house hot water line that already has a recirculating pump and return line.I might need to increase the hot water temperature coming from my hot water heater to make this panels effective but add temperature mixing valves to faucets and showers to prevent burn. Is this possible?
Angelo C. If you asking this question-You better stay away from any kind of plumbing, and better forget that you ever saw this video!!!! It will be best your you and anyone around you to take my advice to heart!!
Don't ever do that because you are causing cross-contamination of your potable (drinking) water. this a steel panel Rad which has rust, oils, paints, etc. You don't ever mix potable water with heating system water. Don't ever do it.
I never had radiators for heat until now. I just moved into an old house that is heated by old fashioned radiators. The house is always a warm perfect temperature. And the heat/energy bill is the lowest I’ve ever had. And the crazy thing is I live in Pittsburgh, PA - USA, in a house that was built in 1902. They have all this modern so called energy efficient technology; but the system that was put in 125 years ago was actually more efficient and cheaper. I think we are being scammed people.
What? "So regular forced air heaters are convection heat baseboards require high water temperatures to have an effect BTU, and this results in large temperature differences in the room where hot water collects at the ceiling and cooler air at the floor level." This was your sentence, had to listen to it several times. What are you saying?? Are you saying boiler baseboard heat results in hotter air at ceiling? Hot air rises naturally so isn't that always the case? Or are you talking about forced air heat?
My Alexa was triggered by something at the beginning of the video, and then the thermostat was set to 130 degrees. Fortunately, it's still summer, and my furnace switch is still off.....

Do they say your heating system is “green” and energy efficient?

Yes
Can I use these on a non condensing type boiler max temp 180 degrees? I have cast iron radiators inline at the moment?
Yes you can! This should be a fitting replacement for your cast iron radiators.

Can you paint them, do you need special paint?
Are these compatible with outdoor wood-fired water stoves?
If you can do the plumbing and keep the temperature at 180F average then it should be fine.

At PEX, we offer a variety of radiators with high BTU output. Whether you prefer old-style or modern, our selection ensures optimal performance
@@PEXUniverse definitely will work with you guys - vids super helpful.
Can you use these with a wood boiler? And would it be possible to have a combined system or using radiant floor heating system on the first floor and these radiators on the second floor? Thank you!
No, both systems work on different water temperature.
yes. with a temp controler and heat exchanger on the manifold.
Can you help me understand recessed radiator for cast iron.. would I need to change/introduce new bushings .

I have baseboard water heaters that make lots of ticking and banging sounds. Are these panel radiators any quieter?
Yes, these panel radiators should be quieter than baseboard heaters!
Can you do a video on castiron baseboard heaters
Is this a stand alone radiator or do you need a boiler?
The hydronic panel radiators shown do require a boiler
@@PEXUniverse So we only need to attach it to a water supply? Thank you
@PEXUniverse how large usually boiler is?
Can these be used for steam heating systems?
Can someone tell me if these really work?
I don't need hotait at the ceiling and cold air at the floor - quite opposite.
Where I can buy them in Canada?

@@PEXUniverse well....3 years on how much increased popularity have they gained...I'm dying to know...from ireland lol
we have them in europe many years. was 33 series now or even 44.
@@darrinmc
Glad you guys decide to sell those !!
Are these panel radiators good to replace the old style steam heat, single pipe, convector radiators?
No, these are only for hot water type of heating systems.
Looks like it would work with an outdoor wood boiler. My stove ranges from 175-185. Has anyone actually completed an install using OWB?

These are very common here in Sweden.

These are pretty standard in The Netherlands by the way..
33 or 44. 22 not anymore for 10 years.
Extremely well done. Thx!
