Convection vs Conduction

In is quite common to encounter both convection and conduction heating methods in the same house. Floor heating on the main floor and radiators in the bedrooms for instance. In some cases you can find both types of heating in the same room, convection radiators as the main source of heat and floor heating as an extra. Calibrating radiators and floor heating to work together can sometimes be a challenge. It is important to understand the differences between the two types fo heating, especially with a single room thermostat.
