I’m staying in an apartment temporarily and I have absolutely no idea how it is heated. It’s a two-bedroom apartment. There is no thermostat. There are no vents. There is one radiator in the apartment’s living room, at the front and down the hall from the bedrooms, and one radiator in the bathroom.
I have felt every wall in my bedroom. All of them are cool. The floor is also a normal temperature.
And yet, despite it being at or below freezing most nights in the past month, I can be in my bedroom without a shirt on and be comfortable. It might be nice to be a little warmer, but I don’t feel cold or anything.
I am mystified. How is it being heated?
There might have been advances to that tech, maybe it’s better thermally regulated now. My parents house had it in the kitchen and I think it was relatively new concept when house was built, I found the heat to be a bit uneven, a bit uncomfortable in some spots.
It was installed 3 years ago, so it’s pretty up to date. An hour in the morning warms the floor pretty uniformly, and keeps it at around 21 degrees C for quite some time.
Ah yes, for comparison my parents was built year 2000. 22 year difference in quality!
