Poor supply of heat in apartment buildings, pushing many of their inhabitants to move to individual heating. Demand for this system due to, the ability to independently regulate the temperature in the house and does not depend on this on various external factors. Due to the presence of individual heating systems, at any time of year, the room is as much heat as you want. But a warm home even in extreme cold - it's always a comfort.
In addition, you can save a good idea. It is not necessary to use in cold weather extra heaters and use of electricity. You will only need to include individual heating, setting the temperature, which make you feel comfortable.
Attention: system based on combi boilers can not only heat the room, but also to ensure the supply of hot water. This versatility is further increasing demand for individual heating. Indeed, thanks to him, you can enjoy not only warmth, but also hot water.
Advantages and disadvantages of individual heating
As practice shows, individual heating in an apartment building a better than centralized. Its advantages are as follows:
- The ability to adjust the temperature. This will require a set desired parameters. If necessary, they can decrease or increase.
- Saving. It allows you to save a good idea. After all, can be reduced, if necessary, the temperature in the rooms themselves. And that means reduced fuel burn. Respectively, will be smaller and costs.
- The ability to set the desired temperature. Different people require different temperature in the apartment to feel comfortable. This can be achieved only with the help of individual heating.
There are in the system and some drawbacks - the difficulty of obtaining permits and the high cost of purchase and installation. But the last, quickly pay off.
When installing individual heating for the apartment, it should be borne in mind that it is slightly different from a similar system for heating private houses.
Heating private homes
Before turning to the individual heating for apartments should consider briefly the system that is responsible for heating and hot water to individual homes. It is not just in the boiler, which is suitable for private homes, can be installed in the apartment.
Also significantly different scheme of individual heating private houses, as in the first embodiment can be used one-and two-planimetric coppers.
Attention: Single-only boilers used for heating. To warm the water in them, should further establish boiler. If houses this option is acceptable, for the apartments, there is, as the boiler will occupy the space, and it is not rational. Therefore it is recommended to install in apartments just combi boilers.
Disconnecting from the district heating
Before installation of heating systems individually, it should be disconnected from the available heat source. Here much depends on the order in which the house is your apartment.
If a new high-rise building, it does not take a lot of time and effort. In addition, modern apartment buildings with individual heating, established developers are now not uncommon. After all, one of the main goals of modern construction, is efficient use of energy resources.
But if the house in which is your apartment does not belong to this category, you should not get upset. After all, to turn off the central heating in a modern house, enough to cover the required valve and heat you will no longer do. This ease off, due to the presence of individual wiring coolants. In addition, it sets a counter for each apartment.
It will be more difficult to disconnect from the district heating in the houses of the old buildings, because there is a common eyeliner heat, and passes through the riser from one apartment to another. If you live on the middle floors of high-rise buildings, then dismantle the heating devices will be problematic. But if you live on the edges of the risers, for example, on the top floor, it's much easier, although it will take some time.
To cope with the disconnection of centralized heating is required to issue the necessary documents on how to enter Apartment in operation, but with a new heating system, then, pass the paper to the desired organization.
Boiler for apartments
Before installing individual heating, must decide in advance what kind of source for the production of heat you use. Many people prefer to electricity. But the ideal option for apartments with gas, is a gas.
Much depends on the choice of the boiler. It is necessary to immediately abandon the idea, to install the boiler on liquid or solid fuel. They are suitable for heating private houses, not apartments. After all, for such equipment will require a separate room. Do not do without the supply of wood, pellets, coal or diesel. And store them simply will not be allowed.
Attention: ideal for apartments will be the installation of individual heating based on a bypass gas boiler. The demand for them is high enough. Installation is simple and does not take much time.
Review the material, about the advantages and disadvantages electrical heating in apartment.
Advantages of the boiler
To use bypass gas boiler uses air taken from the street, and all the combustion products, derived via vent pipes. Their automation level is high enough and you will only need to set the parameters for its operation.
Thanks to the sophisticated automation system, the gas supply and its ignition of the burner, occurs after receiving a positive signal from the available sensors. Spontaneously this can not occur.
The coolant circulates in the system due to the presence of the pump. As the coolant can be used ordinary water, or a special antifreeze.
In which room should be set
Attention: Gas boilers can be installed in the apartments is not in all the rooms. The room in which it is located must meet the following requirements:
- The area of not less than 4 square meters, have a door having a width which is greater than 80 centimeters and a window.
- Depending on the model, it may require the presence of a forced ventilation system room.
- The wall on which the boiler will be fixed must be made of non-combustible material. If such a wall is not, should be placed between the wall and the boiler cover of fireproof material.
- If there are other nearby heating or gas appliances, their distance must be at least 30 centimeters.
All of the above requirements are mandatory. They need to comply in full in order to avoid negative consequences.
The boiler
Before installing the boiler, it is necessary to obtain all permits for its use. Input capacity into operation must be carried out in the presence of representatives of the organization responsible for the use of such equipment. They are involved and drawing on their installation projects. Even if the project was drawn up by itself, it must be approved in a similar organization.
The compact and light weight, the gas boiler two-circuit often fastened to the main wall. If necessary, for this purpose and suitable baffle. But it should be well fortified.
Choosing the place where the boiler is located, should be mounted on the wall mounting bracket. You can then hang himself boiler.
Attention: When fixing it should be noted that the lower part of the boiler must be located above the floor at a distance of not less than 1.6 m. Detailed mounting scheme must be provided in the instruction manual.
By gas main boiler must be connected by metal pipes having the required certificates or, special rubber hoses. Joints, without fail, you should carefully check for leaks. For this purpose, you can use a solution of soap. After the container assembly, the heating circuit to be connected to the existing heating system.
Output
Individual heating - it is an opportunity to enjoy the warmth, without depending on external factors. The temperature is easy to adjust on their own. Setting in the apartment wall double gas boiler, it is possible to provide not only a good heating system in the house, but always have available hot water. Of course, the installation of such a system will require significant investment of time and money, but it will pay off quickly.
