Heating in a wooden house

The most important thing when determining the heating method in a wooden house is to choose the right energy (gas, liquid fuel, electricity and solid fuel) according to the following parameters:

available fuel receipt;

compatibility with the existing heating system;

storage conditions;

equipment maintenance;

system reliability;

The possibility of switching to automated control.

Given the cost criterion, the most affordable is gas. Solid fuel (coal, firewood, briquettes) requires advance workpiece or delivery, and this also includes transportation and unloading costs.

An important aspect — heating equipment in the house. It can be: convector, boiler, fireplace or stove. You should think in advance the whole scheme for placing points of heating — whether it is local heating, or a system consisting of a boiler, pipes and radiators.

The costs of heating the house are also taken into account, this includes: expenses for fuel raw materials, repair and replacement of damaged elements, maintenance costs and planned inspections.

Gas heating

The process of installing and installing gas equipment itself involves large investments. An important point lies in installing a divorce system, since. The supporting elements of the structure of the house need to be bypassed, the walls of the wooden house are not allowed to stroke.

Despite the difficulties, heating with gas remains an economical and widespread method.

Gas can be used both from the central gas line and cylinder. The first option is if there is a practical possibility of connecting to central communication, and the second is a cylinder with a propanobutan family, is also widely used in country houses, since it has a democratic price of the issue even in comparison with electricity and diesel generators. With the help of balloon gas, you can heat water, and pressure with this method will always be the same and without jumps.

Which method of gas heating is to choose — each consumer decides for himself, based on individual characteristics and capabilities, but in any case, the installation of gas equipment should be carried out by specialists, since any gas leaks should not be allowed, and the system must remain safe.

Heating with liquid fuel

If the central gas pipeline is not connected to a private house, and heating with the help of electricity causes financial difficulties, then the installation of a boiler operating on liquid fuel will be the output. Of course, tangible costs will be arranged for the arrangement of the system, but the advantages of the output will cover all expenses. As a result, the consumer will receive an automated heating system, independent of the central gas supply, and the efficiency of the boiler will not differ from the gas.

Heating by electricity

The most expensive option, but also the easiest. Does not require harvesting or storage of raw materials, does not have waste in the process of work, the operation of the boiler is fully automated and can be combined with other heating devices: warm floors, radiators, convectors, etc. The economical option will be film heating. If such a method is used, then objects are heated, not air. Its advantages: economical consumption of electricity, does not affect air humidity, such heaters occupy a minimum of space, low inertia.

Fuel heating

Heating in this way is cyclical, that is, to maintain the necessary temperature in the house after a while, you need to lay fuel in the boiler. Such raw materials are quite affordable. Coal during combustion gives energy 3 times higher than the one that gives firewood. Firewood needs preliminary drying. Briquet, chips, peat are also used.

The development of a heating circuit with solid fuel is almost no different from the gas, the difference is the design of the boiler room. Since solid -fuel boilers have large dimensions, and they will need more space, therefore, specific requirements for the boiler room will be required. Minimum area 7 kV. m., This is necessary for convenience in maintenance. If the floors of the house are wooden, then first before installing the equipment, you need to lay a stainless metal sheet. Lighting should be both natural and artificial, and the height of the chimney should be at least 5 meters.

As for the battery, they are also installed according to certain rules, for example, the indentation from the walls of 3 cm.

A prerequisite for heating a wooden house is the installation of protective elements: a descent valve, an expansion tank and an air carrier.

Using furnace heating

This type of heating continues to be very popular. This is a simple and convenient type of heating of the house, especially in demand in conditions of complete absence of gas. The combustion process can be adjusted. Such a system is more appropriate in small houses, creates a special atmosphere of comfort, can be combined with a fireplace, and this is a scope for designer fantasies.

To install such a system, you need to lay the foundation, it will be more advisable to do it at the stage of building a house. In the zone where the stove will be provided, the walls and floor should be provided with additional protection. The central location of the furnace in the house will provide uniform heating of the room. If the structure is made of steel, then a brick base or concrete screed will be required.
