How to choose the right heating for each room type

The Complete Guide 2026

Not every room is the same.
Every room in your home has a different temperature, humidity, size, and function. Therefore, it's logical that there's no single type of heating that works perfectly everywhere.

Making the right choice means:

  • ✔️ faster heat
  • ✔️ lower energy consumption
  • ✔️ more comfort
  • ✔️ Enjoy your system for longer

In this complete guide, we explain which heating works best for each room and why.


Bathroom → Fast, direct and safe heat

The bathroom cools down the fastest.
That is why you especially need warmth during and after showering.
