Split-systems work by heating air, this is convection heat.

While they’re very efficient at creating this kind of heat, there are some drawbacks.

For a start, they’re often quite blowy and noisy. As hot air rises, the vertical distribution of heat in the room is uneven - your feet are much colder than your head.

They also struggle to regulate the temperature precisely, which can lead to uncomfortable temperature swings and the feeling of having to “battle the thermostat”.

Purmo radiators create a balance of radiant and convection heat.

They heat the room more evenly, and they’re much better at keeping the room at the precise temperature you set.

They’re also completely silent, there’s no fans or blown dust.

If you’ve got a split-system already, it’s still a great idea to use it to efficiently and quickly get a cold room up to temperature.

Then you can let the radiators take over and maintain a really comfortable room temperature.
