their cost, their advantages and disadvantages

Aware of the impact of global warming on the environment, more and more homes are now interested in ecological heating solutions. These types of installation make it possible not only to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, but also to significantly reduce the energy consumption of the house to finally achieve a good savings on the electricity bill.

For your construction or energy renovation project, do you plan to go to ecological heating? Here are the most environmentally friendly heating solutions.

Solar heating for clean energy

Solar heating works thanks to a renewable and available energy source: the sun. The sun’s rays are converted into electricity thanks to the use of a set of equipment composed mainly of solar panels which capture sunlight. Electricity is then used to supply electric radiators.

Benefits

Warning the household thanks to solar energy, it is the certainty of using a heating system with zero CO2 emission. Indeed, throughout the conversion of solar energy into heat, there will be no question of using polluting fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal or even oil.

Disadvantages

The main drawback in a solar installation lies in its high acquisition cost. Indeed, the price of the equipment added to the cost of the installation oscillates between 5,000 and 10,000 €, or even more depending on the quality and performance of the equipment used.

In addition, a solar heating system only allows you to cover half of the heating needs of a home.

Oscaro Power solar kit: a durable and reliable solution

To improve energy efficiency¹you can invest in powerful solar equipment like the solar kit offered by Oscaro Power.

To produce your own solar energy to meet the energy needs of your home, particularly in terms of heating, Oscaro Power provides you with a full range of solar kits composed of photovoltaic panels and waves² efficient and high quality to ensure optimal energy production.

It should nevertheless be noted that even if the energy efficiency of a solar heating depends on the performance of the various solar components used, it remains dependent on weather conditions. If the sun is not there, the energy produced will actually be lower.

Fortunately, it is possible to overcome the problem by opting for the solar kit for self -consumption with Oscaro Power battery. The battery makes it possible to store energy for subsequent use, especially when there is little sun as in winter, during bad weather or even during the night.

The heat pump: an efficient and ecological solution

To produce energy, heat pumps (CAP) draw the natural heat present in the environment to spread it in the home thanks to radiators, heated floors or other.

Benefits

Despite the fact that they operate on electricity, heat pumps are classified in the category of ecological heating for the simple reason that they use renewable and non -polluting energy sources such as air, water and heat present in the soil. Hence the two types of CAP: geothermal heat pumps (soil) and aerothermal heat pumps (air-water or water water).

Note that this type of heating system is inexpensive. In reality, it produces more kWh (kilowatt hour) than it consumes. Some PAC models can actually cover up to 100 % of your consumption.

Disadvantages

Like solar heating, the acquisition price remains the major disadvantage of a CAP. As an indication, the cost of the equipment plus the installation costs between 6,000 and 20,000 € for accommodation of 100 m². This high price is mainly explained by the need to carry out major installation work.

Another aspect to be considered, note that a CAP is not recommended in poorly insulated dwellings at the risk of significant heat loss.

Wood heating: a durable and affordable solution

Wood heating is fully part of an energy transition process. The fuel used which is wood actually remains a renewable resource, provided of course that it is PEFC certified firewood³.

Benefits

Unlike old installations, new generation wood heating devices such as wood stoves, fireplace inserts or pellet boilers only emit very low CO2 levels. The pellet boiler only emits 30 g of CO2 per kWh of energy produced.

In addition, in return for the high price of this type of device (between 5,000 to 15,000 € installation included), wood heating offers an affordable cost of use due to inexpensive fuel.

Disadvantages

Wood heating makes it possible to fill only part of the heating needs of a house, except for the pellet boiler which can be used as central heating in its own right. For good thermal comfort throughout the house, it is recommended to combine wood stoves and inserts with another extra heating system.
