My parents are old and worry when it comes to winter. How do you solve the heating problem in the south?

A: My parents are older. In my experience, how to solve the winter problem in southern winter is generally solved by installing radiators and floor heating, which is the mainstream way at present.

First of all, it is an indisputable fact that the older the elderly are, the more afraid they are of extreme weather. Mainly in extreme weather, first of all, the air quality is most likely to change, and the bacteria in the air will become very active. This is why many elderly people are prone to irreversible complications due to respiratory tract infections in extreme weather.

In addition, it is too cold in winter, and young people are worried that the old people will be cold, so they all wear thick clothes. In fact, the coldest things in winter are hands and feet, especially feet, which are so important that you can't feel cold or warm all over your body.

Secondly, we used to keep warm in winter in Sichuan (when the heating didn't go up). For the elderly with mobility difficulties, we always put a stove in front of us and a roasting cage to roast our hands or feet.

Clothes drying cage is a warm artifact made of bamboo, which is very important for the elderly. Ask the old man to follow during the day and put it under the bed at night. However, in the era of using stoves, carbon dioxide poisoning incidents occurred from time to time; Burning quilts in air cages has caused many fires.

Later, electric baking pans and electric blankets became popular, but the actual heating effect they brought was very poor, and the disadvantages were still great. It is better to waste electricity, so that young people will not use it when they leave. In addition, they can't solve the whole environmental temperature of the elderly, and will also bring the problem of dryness and discomfort, so many elderly people resist using electric baking pans and electric blankets.

The rise of heating can be said to have solved a big problem for dutiful sons. As soon as winter comes, many young people install heating for the elderly at home. My experience is that once it is installed for the family, nine times out of ten there are elderly people in the family. For example, the year before last, a middle-aged man called me and asked me if I could install radiators these days. I asked him, and he said that his old father was bedridden and had been catching colds repeatedly, and he wanted to install a radiator to make his old father comfortable. So we designed three sets of radiators according to his family's situation and finished them in two days. Later, this customer introduced us to the houses of two elderly people in his community, and it was the same. Later, he reflected that it doesn't matter to spend some gas after having a radiator, and the old people don't feel it outside.

Here in Sichuan, in winter, I began to be busy installing surface-mounted radiators; As the name implies, the radiator is installed with the radiator pipe exposed. This is specially designed for decorated apartments. It designs pipes completely according to the decoration layout of the home, so that the radiator at home can get hot water provided by the wall-hung boiler to dissipate heat and raise temperature.

The advantage of this is that the construction period is short, usually completed in 2-3 days, and it will not cause great movement to the original family layout; After installation, the indoor temperature rises obviously, so that the indoor temperature is balanced at 20-25 degrees.

Use of floor heating: In our newly renovated or renovated old houses in Sichuan, floor heating is almost always considered, because the comfort of floor heating is obviously higher than that of radiator. Because the temperature of radiator brings the temperature change of the whole space, it will not change the temperature perception of human feet. There is also floor heating. Although the old people opposed it at first, once the temperature rises, they like it very much, because my home is an example.

in short

In Sichuan, I went from the era of baking stoves and drying cages to the era of baking electric stoves. Finally, due to work reasons, I saw that the heating was accepted by everyone. Although the gas cost in winter is at least about 1000 yuan, everyone still gritted their teeth to turn on the heating (the sound of the boiler) and introduced relatives and friends to experience the installation. Therefore, I suggest that you still consider the scheme of radiator and floor heating, which is more comfortable and comfortable.
