It might be 30-plus degrees and sticky in Hong Kong right now, but come wintertime, you could be one of the unlucky few who's stuck without a heater and waking up suddenly at 3am with that frigid feeling in your toes.
Don't let that happen to you. While most Hong Kong homes use reverse-cycle air conditioners or electric radiators that are not only inefficient but potentially dangerous, Tyco Thermal Controls has come up with two new ways to keep us safe and warm this winter.
Both the Raychem self-regulating underfloor heating system and HWAT instant hot water system use intelligent heating cables that either fit under the floor or directly onto a building's water pipes, which take up very little space and need little to no maintenance during their life span.
At just 13 millimetres thick, the Raychem underfloor heating system is quick and easy to install, making it suitable for concrete, tile, marble and wooden floors.
The HWAT self-regulating heating cable is installed directly onto the supply piping, which dramatically reduces the waiting time for hot water.
Instant hot water at a fraction of the cost, with energy savings and less water wastage? Now that's HWAT.
