Residents of multi-storey town houses recall about heating only in situations where an accident. Indeed, the central pipe eliminates many problems, eliminating the need for monitor the equipment, carry out routine inspections and repairs - all of these are handled by experts Housing. It is quite another thing - the inhabitants of their own houses. They have to not only choose the cheapest heating homes, but also to implement a scheme to purchase the appropriate equipment, organize the service. Question of economy in such a situation is particularly acute, all the saved money can be spent on more urgent needs. To save the most money, it is recommended to approach the solution of this issue comprehensively.
Traditional fuels
The cheapest heating of private homes can be provided on the basis of the gas boiler. If the cottage is laid in the vicinity of highway, you should not hesitate, should immediately submit requests for permits, purchase equipment and start the installation. Yes, install and purchase stage will have to spend a considerable sum, but it will pay off during use.
Cheap to heat their own home manage and use the solid fuel. Wood, peat and wood pellets - all worth it cheap enough, it will have to accept some operational disadvantage, the need to regularly lay new fuel in the furnace of the party, but the economic the benefit is worth.
If we talk about liquid fuel, in a private house its use is not desirable. The reason is simple - each year is fixed increase in prices for diesel, if a few years ago can be We have been talking about this technique as advantageous financially, but now everything is perfect otherwise. To this should be added the need for equipment for the boiler separate room that is large enough to able to organize the area of storage tanks or fuel. Another disadvantage of such a fuel emissions rather unpleasant, not all endure the smell of not fully combusted diesel fuel.
Electricity and derivatives
Heating with electricity building deserves a separate discussion. By itself, such a boiler is able to heat the building only partly too high operating costs, because the purchase of the corresponding power device capable lead to huge bills for utilities services. Nevertheless, some of the schemes on the basis of electricity can be organized at home with their own hands, and they will be cost-effective and reliable:
- Infrared heat sources. There is no need to mount the boiler lay pipes. Infrared devices are easily mounted on the ceiling or on the plane walls, look stylish, perfectly fit into any interior. Their efficiency is already evident in the first month of operation, the heating bill will be reduced by almost 60 percent.
- Infrared film. The film is placed under the linoleum or laminate, the room heats evenly throughout.
Cons infrared heating is: the cost is still higher than for heating gas. It increases the likelihood of misting, if the rays do not fall on the window sill (convection currents are weaker than traditional heating). Unexpected power failure much more likely than the gas off. In the case of an open installation of reflectors on the ceiling, there are unpleasant sensations, as they say, "bald is burnt, and the feet are freezing."
innovations
Economical heating can be arranged at the expense of renewable energy sources. If your location has a number of relatively warm sunny days is large enough, the use of solar energy battery looks quite reasonable and rational. Panel and can perform basic functions, and supporting, including in situations where there are faults on the main line. A novelty is the use of heat pumps, which allow to minimize heating costs, but the equipment and installation of the most expensive of all types of heat sources.
How else to achieve savings?
To form a low-cost heating their private homes, should not only carefully approach the selection of the optimal model of the boiler and the type of fuel used. well save it is also possible to purchase stages and mounting technology.
- The choice of equipment. Look at the market units proposed. In order to establish an effective and stable heating, not necessarily chase the devices of renowned imported brands a huge price. In modern shops are widely represented and domestic appliances with good parameters, democratic price which reached a lack of tax revenue and the minimum expenditure on transportation. Of course, the cheapest boiler from an unknown manufacturer is also not a good choice, it is necessary to strike a balance between cost and quality. This will help to expert opinion, widely represented on the Internet, reviews, and reviews of real customers.
- Selecting the store. The boiler can be purchased in specialty stores, which attracts the attention of bright advertising signs and an abundance of color, and in the market. The cost of the same device in such cases are often characterized by an order of magnitude. Of course, specialty shops often offer better terms of service, ready to assist in the delivery, but the vote - really whether such aid compensates for the price difference. In the process of searching for a suitable store do not forget about the various promotions and discounts. Regular monitoring of the market would "catch" the desired model with a good discount.
- The choice of mounting crew. The most expensive option - an appeal to specialists. In this situation, guaranteed and high quality, and impressive spending, which can amount to half of the original equipment price. If we talk about the gas units, better to stay on this version, much too high cost of failure. Heating can be organized and self-taught artists, and not always this option is worse than the first, again, be sure to pay attention to the recommendations and feedback from previous customers. The most economical way - to work on their own. In the case of simple heating it quite feasible and safe.
- The choice of method of laying pipes, selection of components and materials. In a private house well show itself Heating, assuming the coolant circulation in the pipe system. Cost reduction is achieved by reducing footage of pipe which, when the double pipe Scheme 2 times higher. Some disadvantage is the complexity of adjustment, without which the most distant from the battery of the boiler may be too cool. If we talk about the material, it is possible to stop on models made of polypropylene. They are not afraid of corrosion and pressure drop, bend easily, which simplifies the installation process.
- Choosing a competent designer. If in the design process to calculate the heat loss of the building, one can say exactly what will be the cost of heating during the coldest days of the year. If the amount of spent kilowatts will not "afford" that needs to be done recalculation with increased insulation thickness. In Europe, create a home "zero" energy consumption or energy surplus house, and it turns out, however, the cost of construction of such facilities is very high, while it experiments at the state level or oligarchs. Proper site planning can help reduce the cost of heating on sunny days. For example, building on the south side overgrown high evergreen trees and shrubs, it does not receive the necessary calories. If these plants are located on the north side of the building will be blown less northerly winds. At calculations of heat loss in this case is taken into account that the south side of the building is losing heat at 10 percent less (sunlight, not the north wind hits).
It turns out that my house, with some effort, would be easier and more economical with regard to heatingthan city apartment. Heating can be really low, only need to take responsibility for the choice of technology, evaluate all positive and negative moments, spend enough time searching for information and monitoring of the market!
