How to make heating in the country independently

For many people, a summer residence is not only a place for summer holidays, but also a country house, which allows you to spend time in nature, even during the cold season. Of course, for this, the house must have heating, otherwise there is no question of a comfortable rest. Therefore, in this article we will look at how to make heating in the country with their own hands.

Choice of heating

There are quite a few options for arranging the heating of a country house, so first of all it is necessary to decide what kind of heating to do in the country, so that it is not only efficient, but also economical. The choice primarily depends on the house itself, i.e. its size. Below we take a look at the most optimal options in different conditions.

Small one-story house

If the cottage has a small one-story house that needs to be heated during the cold autumn season or during the summer cooling periods, then the best option, perhaps, are convection gas-generating furnaces such as Termofor and Buleryan.

Among their advantages are several important points:

• There is no need for installation of the pipeline and radiators.
• The devices operate autonomously, so the lack of electricity is not an obstacle to their work.
• Able to warm the room very quickly.
• On one tab can work up to twelve hours.
• They work on wood, which in the country, as a rule, are the cheapest type of fuel.

To install these furnaces, it is only necessary to equip the chimney, in addition, the instruction manual requires high-quality ventilation.

Note! The height of the chimney should be at least three meters. Moreover, the design must be constructed from heat-resistant materials.

If the heating of the garden house will be used from time to time, then it is possible to use an electric heating system, since its periodic inclusion will not become particularly expensive. However, given the interruptions in electricity that often occur in rural areas, this decision is not the best choice.

House up to 150 square meters

At the holiday villages and in the countryside the gas pipeline is very rarely present.

Therefore, it is possible to warm a two-storeyed house of up to 150 square meters in the following ways:

• Stove heating - this solution provides an additional opportunity for cooking, however, there is one drawback - uneven heating of rooms.
• Water heating - can be realized with the help of a wood boiler or heater on diesel fuel. This option will ensure the same air temperature in all rooms of the house.

The second option is more preferable, and not only because of uniform heating, but also relatively simple installation — installing heating in a water-type cottage is much simpler than laying a stove. And the latter requires the construction of the foundation.

Cottage country house

Located in the cottage village cottage, in fact, is an ordinary country house, which is equipped for permanent residence. Most often in such villages there is gas, so the choice of heating is obvious - water heating based on a gas boiler.

Gas heating of a rural house will also provide hot water, though you will need a double-circuit boiler. Moreover, heating can be realized not only with traditional radiators, but also with a floor heating system.

Features of arrangement of water heating

Select the type of system

So, what kind of heating to do in the country we figured out. Now we will dwell on water heating, which can be implemented in several ways.

First of all, water heating varies according to the method of circulation of the coolant in the system.

It can be implemented in two ways:

• Naturally - the movement of fluid is carried out due to different densities of hot and cold water, while the system uses an accelerating tank, and the pipes are mounted with a constant slope. The advantage of this option is in the autonomy of the system, however, for this to happen, the boiler must also be non-volatile.
• Forced - the coolant is driven by a circulating pump. In this case, the system has fewer requirements in terms of installation, but for that, the heating of the garden house turns out to be volatile.

In addition, an important difference is the connection scheme of radiators, which can be:

• One pipe - all radiators are connected in series to one pipe, which goes around the room around the perimeter. This method is suitable for small houses, as with a large system length, the heating of the batteries is uneven.
• Two-pipe - in this case, the hot coolant and the return flow through different pipes, which allows for uniform heating of the batteries. However, in this case the price of the system is higher, as more pipes will be required.

Before installing the heating in the country, it is necessary to prepare a project in which it is necessary to indicate not only the location and number of radiators, but also the power of the heating equipment. On our portal you can get detailed information on how to calculate the power of the heating system.

Heating installation

Installation of heating should begin with installing the boiler and connecting it to the chimney. Further work is carried out in accordance with the design of the system - first of all, heating radiators are mounted, and the pipeline is being assembled.

Tip! When connecting heating equipment, it is necessary to pay attention to the tightness of the connections and use fum-tape to seal the threaded connections.

In the places indicated in the diagram, the remaining elements of the system are mounted - a circulation pump, a surge tank, etc. After completing the work, it is imperative to start the system and make sure that it is working and free of leaks. This process is called crimping.

Here, perhaps, all the main features of the arrangement of heating in the country.

Conclusion

We reviewed a few of the most common decisions on how to heat a summer house. The choice depends on the requirements for heating and the characteristics of the house itself. With regard to the technical side of the issue, then implement any of these types of heating under the power of each home master.
