What kind of heating to choose for a country house, taking

You have decided to build a house for year-round use and the first thing you should immediately determine what kind of heating system will be used in it. Otherwise, the building can be operated from time to time or only in summer, since without heating it is impossible to create normal conditions for living. It should also be aware that the organization of heating is a set of measures that only begin with the installation of the boiler.

Our task is to help you make the choice of a country house heating system, taking into account the individual features of the building. Below we consider this question in more detail.

Heating project - what to look for

The organization of the heating system at home must begin even before the foundation stone is laid.

Before you choose a country house heating, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the factors that will directly influence the decision making:

1. The location of the house on the site - one of the ways to save on heating. It should be oriented so that its main premises in the daytime are illuminated by the sun.

1. To the coolant - water, should be convenient and free access. This means that the external water supply system should be located in close proximity to the house.
2. Replacing old wooden windows with glass packs will save fuel.

Advice: we recommend to install 3-chamber double-glazed windows with ventilation or to provide for normal air exchange in the room so that they do not fog up.

The double-glazed window will be able to keep warmly in the room. If this option does not suit you, select one that will also be able to deal with its leakage.

1. We recommend trying to use the greenhouse effect by installing large windows in the house, which is also a dream of many. In this case, the pleasant coincides with the useful.

1. Warm the outer walls of the house, its floors and the ceiling, since a lot of heat goes through these surfaces. It does not matter what type of heating system you choose for a private house.
2. Use for the floor a new unique multi-layer floor covering.
3. Give preference to a soft, cozy style of furniture that can perceive and retain heat well.

Tip: do not recommend the use of indoor hard wood, granite and metal.

The hi-tech style is still better to leave for a city apartment, and in nature it will not look quite appropriate. But, this is our opinion, which may differ from yours.

Choosing a heating system

The above factors are quite enough to proceed to the next step - the selection of the heating system.

In fact, the choice of the heating system of a private house is small here and is based on the coolant:

Tip: before choosing the heating of a private house, keep in mind that the task should be approached comprehensively, taking into account all factors, situations and opportunities.

This will help:

• make the heating circuit much simpler and cheaper;
• Prepare in advance auxiliary heat sources that will quickly replace the main ones when they fail.

Choose the method of heating the coolant

You can replace water with antifreeze, if you often leave your home for a long time, and there is no possibility to observe the system.

You can heat the coolant using:

1. Solid fuel - firewood, peat and coal, which is very popular in our country. The market is quite extensive and to find an energy carrier is not difficult in any region. Especially solid fuels are popular in places where access to other resources is difficult.
2. Electricity - although its price is high. However, if there are no other options, it will be necessary to maximally heat the housing and try to negotiate with the power company to reduce the fee for the resource.
3. Liquid fuel - diesel, fuel oil, kerosene, gasoline or used oil. In this case, the instruction requires the construction of a separate boiler room.
4. Gas - the most convenient source of energy, which is not yet available everywhere. About half of all offers of heating equipment on the market belong to this variant of heating the heating medium.

Choose equipment

Depends on the heating system - forced or natural will be used. In the latter case, you will not need to buy additional equipment, however, the diameter of the supply pipelines will have to be doubled.

A conventional heating system consists of:

1. Heating domestic boiler heating, which is the main source of heat.
2. The pump necessary for ensuring pumping of the heat carrier in compulsory system. It is usually installed on the return pipe to protect the device from high temperatures.
3. The filter is an extremely important element when you have an open type system installed and you have to add water directly from the water supply system to it.
4. Pipelines, which can be made of metal, metal-plastic or polypropylene. We recommend to stay on the latest version.
5. Radiators, the choice of which is better to focus on a further increase in their power by adding additional sections. This may occur when, after switching on the heating system, you realized that you made a little mistake in the calculations and you could not set the desired air temperature in the rooms. If you have a special key, you can easily add sections by yourself.

Tip: for autonomous heating, we recommend to stay on aluminum models of heating radiators, whose power is 2 times higher than cast-iron and they are quite affordable.

1. Auxiliary equipment, which allows you to dump excess air, turn off a separate radiator or even a part of the circuit.

1. Temperature sensors and other monitoring equipment. It will provide an opportunity to learn the effectiveness of the entire system.

Be sure to make the project, taking into account all the circumstances:

• heating method, if on gas - the location of the external trunk line;
• the method of supplying water to the system where the external water supply will be located;
• necessary equipment;
• dimensions of heated rooms;
• scheme of the heating system for the house.

Tip: work on the arrangement of heating in the house can be entrusted to professionals, if you think that your experience and skills will not be enough to solve such a serious task.

You may even be able to save on the elements of the system, since you do not have to buy extra parts, often remaining with self-assembly. Also, you will be given a lot of useful tips related to the further operation of the equipment that you will need to carry out yourself.

Conclusion

Creating a heating system in a country house is a serious and crucial step that will allow you to get warmth and comfort for many years. Therefore, it is necessary to treat this task with the utmost scrupulousness. In the end, you can get comfort that is not inferior to urban conditions.
