Do not step on them, as stairs in modern houses nowadays are designed to be open and thus are constantly surrounded by warmed air. Therefore, they also assume the ambient temperature.


Then just remove them entirely and do it purely electrically if they are hardly ever on anyway. That way they won’t ruin your balance and you will need less technology and hydraulics overall.

He does not build but owns the property because the oil heating system is to be modernized.

The fact that the heat pump can reach 75 degrees does not mean that you then heat economically.

Oh ... and in the bathroom the shower area does not take on the temperature of the surroundings, or what? The stairs will hardly ever be as warm as the floor with underfloor heating, since the floor with underfloor heating is always warmer than the room temperature. But I do not (necessarily) want to continue this discussion. I have learned that it is nowadays common, at least in new buildings, to equip the shower area with underfloor heating. We did not do this during the renovation on the advice of the specialist and do not miss it either. Everyone else can be satisfied and happy with the two or three seconds of warm floor in the shower ... :)


I will consider that when the time comes. Thank you very much :) At the moment our oil tank is still full. So it might become interesting in two years. I just don’t understand yet why the radiators, which are rarely on, ruin the balance. You have to produce hot water for showering etc. anyway, and the radiators are never really hot for long.

The hot water for showering with a heat pump is still not as warm as the water in a typical radiator. Radiators are never really hot for long because they can release a lot of energy in a short time. However, underfloor heating with a heat pump as the heat source is the exact opposite of a high-temperature radiator. What temperature are the radiators running at for you right now (when they are on)?

Because you obviously neither understood the principle of a heat pump nor the principle of heating in general.

In the garage, I have it set to minimum so it doesn't freeze, clearly below "star" level. Still, it is lukewarm. In the bathroom, I wouldn't know the temperature at all. As far as I could follow, it sometimes is set to level 2 or 3 (out of 5). So they are really not necessary. However, during the renovation, we only had the radiator installed in the bathroom. But it serves more as a towel rack rather than a towel warmer.
