Types of Gas Central Heating by:Joanna Harris

Central heating is a very efficient system of heating up the house during winters

, and therefore it is cheaper than other forms of heating. In addition, there are many controls available and there is a uniform distribution of heat. When combustion of gas is used for the generation of heat, it is called as gas central heating. A gas central heating system has a thermostat that tells it to switch off when the temperature reaches a certain higher limit, and switches on when the temperature reaches a lower limit. Therefore the turning on and off is automatic and you do not need to worry about doing this yourself. This also helps to maintain the house at a more or less uniform optimal temperature. In addition, gas central heating is quite efficient with respect to fuel consumed. The heat generated by the combustion of the gas is distributed using water.

If you want to install a new gas central heating at your home, then you should make sure that you are installing a good quality one, as even a slight drop in quality can mean escalating energy costs. The price of a gas central heating system also varies greatly with different contractors, so it is always wise to compare the price and quality of different suppliers.

There are broadly two types of gas central heating systems - open vented systems and sealed systems. Open vented systems are more traditional, but require more parts and in general the heating efficiency is less. The more modern systems are all sealed systems. Here, the heating efficiency is improved, which means that you can save a lot on your energy costs. A boiler is the main area where the water is heated, so it is essential that your boiler is of a good quality. If you run a very old gas central heating system, chances are you might need to replace the boiler with a more modern one. The heated water is stored in a cylinder, and the capacity of the cylinder depends on your needs. The type of cylinder depends on whether the gas central heating system is vented or un-vented. Depending on the size of your home and the size of your gas central heating system, you should choose a proper pump. The cost of a pump depends on the quality, material and capacity and so you will need to make a compromise among these factors. Finally, a radiator is the part where the heat is transferred from the hot water to the room. It will always be a good idea to install a high quality radiator, since this is where the final heat transfer takes place and you would not like your home to feel cold.
