Difference between panel radiators and baseboard heaters:
Unlike standard baseboards (copper pipe with aluminum fins), which rely almost exclusively on hot air convection, panel radiators are designed to utilize another additional method of heat transfer - radiant heat, which is more energy efficient and creates a noticeably more comfortable environment with better heat distribution.
In baseboard radiators, the heating element located inside and is separated from the room with a cover and an air gap, which reduces radiant heating effect to a minimum. In panel-style radiators, the front panel (1 out of 2, through which hot water circulates) is exposed to the room, radiating heat in the same manner a radiant floor heating system does and naturally heating not only the air, but all the objects and persons in the room. At the same time, front and back panels are separated with a convector channel, through and around which natural convection occurs and air in the room is also heated. As a result, heating efficiency in panel radiators is nearly twice higher than in baseboard heaters under similar conditions.

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.
-
These are very common here in Sweden. I have one in the room I am in now :) /Cheers
-
Glad you guys decide to sell those !!
-
Extremely well done. Thx!
-
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??
-
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 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.

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.
-
Can I use these on a non condensing type boiler max temp 180 degrees? I have cast iron radiators inline at the moment?
-
Can you do a video on castiron baseboard heaters
-
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 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.
-
These are pretty standard in The Netherlands by the way..
-
Can you help me understand recessed radiator for cast iron.. would I need to change/introduce new bushings .
-
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.)
-
Can you paint them, do you need special paint?
-
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 someone tell me if these really work? I don't need hotait at the ceiling and cold air at the floor - quite opposite.
-
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?
