How to connect central air conditioning to floor heating: technical analysis combined with hot spots across the entire network
With the increase in heating demand in winter, the combination of central air conditioning and floor heating has become a hot topic recently. This article will combine the hot content of the entire network in the past 10 days to conduct a structured analysis of the technical solutions, advantages and disadvantages, and market trends of central air conditioning and floor heating.
1. Hot topics and floor heating-related data on the entire network in the past 10 days

| Hot search keywords | Search volume (10,000) | Main discussion platform |
|---|---|---|
| Central air conditioning and floor heating all-in-one machine | 45.6 | Zhihu, Xiaohongshu |
| Energy-saving heating solutions in winter | 32.1 | Douyin, Bilibili |
| Water system central air conditioning renovation | 28.9 | Baidu Tieba, industry forum |
2. Four technical solutions for central air conditioning and floor heating
| Plan type | Applicable to air conditioning system | Installation cost (yuan/㎡) | Energy consumption comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water system linkage | Water machine central air conditioner | 150-300 | Energy saving of more than 30% |
| heat pump auxiliary system | VRV multi-connection | 200-350 | Energy saving 15-25% |
| Electric auxiliary heating module | all types | 80-150 | Energy consumption increased by 40% |
3. Detailed explanation of implementation steps
1.System evaluation stage: It is necessary to detect the compressor power and circulating water pump pressure value of the central air conditioner. It is recommended to use professional equipment such as Fluke 179 multimeter for circuit testing.
2.Key points for pipeline renovation: The connection between the floor heating water distributor and the air conditioning host must maintain a slope of ≤3%. It is recommended to use PPR pipes (temperature resistant above 95°C).
3.Control integration solution: The latest market data shows that 63% of users choose intelligent temperature control systems. Recommended brands include:
- Honeywell Home
- nest Learning Thermostat
- Haier U-home
4. The five major issues that consumers are most concerned about
| question | frequency of occurrence | Professional answers |
|---|---|---|
| Will it reduce the life of the air conditioner? | 87% | Installing a buffer water tank can reduce the number of starts and stops |
| Comparison of heating effects in winter | 79% | Underfloor heating makes the surface temperature more uniform (temperature difference ±1°C) |
| Modification period | 65% | Approximately 3-5 working days for ordinary residences |
5. New market trends in 2023
1.Graphene floor heating module: A recent hot search on Douyin shows that the search volume of this technology increased by 210% week-on-week, but the actual installation cases are still small (only 2.3% of the market).
2.AI energy consumption management: Xiaomi’s newly released AIoT temperature control system can automatically preheat based on weather forecasts. Test data shows that the energy saving effect is increased by 12-18%.
3.Policy subsidies: Ten cities including Beijing and Shanghai have introduced clean energy transformation subsidies, which can reach up to 30% of the project cost.
Summary suggestions:Central air conditioning and floor heating need to be selected according to the structure of the house. Water system renovation is the most cost-effective (the investment payback period is about 3-5 years). It is recommended to give priority to a construction team with GB/T 18836 certification. The installed capacity of the "two-generation system" (air conditioning + floor heating), which has attracted soaring attention recently, has increased by 57% year-on-year and can be used as a long-term upgrade option.
