The construction of a private house is not an easy task. Even if all materials are purchased and the project is made, installation of the base, erection of walls, roofing, finishing works is still ahead of all. Often private heating systems are used to heat private houses with an individual project, here we mean buildings of large sizes with a complex communication system. A private houseequipped with its own heating system, is independent of the centrally set start and end dates heating season. Because how to turn on or off the individual gas heating, depends only on your desire. In addition, you can adjust the temperature in the rooms.

Individual heating of water, enables private traders to save money. It is preferable to pay once for the installation of private heating, while the cost of utilities will decrease several times. As a result, the situation may arise when the enterprise for supplying heat, will begin to suffer losses, because Owners of apartment houses switched to their own heating and began to pay less. Individual heating has become the choice of many, for this type of heat exchange, whole apartment buildings and private settlements are transferred. Therefore, we offer our services to facilitate your already not an easy life.

So what exactly are we going to help you with? You have a ready-made project of an apartment house, and you know what you want, but do not know how to organize it. You come to us and, putting the project on the table, just say, I want it to have a warm floor, and in this room it's always +27 ° С, and in this +26.5 ° С, etc. We are going to solve your problem: we select necessary equipment, which is the most profitable and rational for your project, but at the same time we take into account all your wishes.

One of the main advantages of individual heating  is the possibility of personal fuel selection. His choice will determine which is necessary to use the boiler - in fact it is the main element of the entire heating system of a private house.

It is necessary to mention that boilers are single-circuit, two-circuit and three-circuit. One-contour is used only to ensure the operation of the pipeline in private houses. Double-circuit boilers  provide hot water supply. The three-circuit ones take on themselves the burden of maintaining the pool or the system of warm floor.

But on this your choice is not limited, as the boiler units are produced in two types: wall and floor. Wall boilers take up little space, but are more difficult to mount. Outdoor necessarily need their own room, but its boiler room provides sound insulation and hides almost all the details of boiler equipment.

Also there is a choice of heating devices, or rather the material from which they are made. Despite the longevity of cast iron heaters, they remain too massive and heavy, so the radiators made of steel are the most popular today.

Do not forget about the pipes through which the coolant circulates, here the choice is also very large. They can be metal-plastic, steel and copper. You choose, we do so that they are not visible in the rooms: we make buried gasket. Stands and connections to the heating devices are installed in canals and furrows, which are then poured with concrete, and the mains are located in the technical rooms of a private house.

• Features of the equipment
• What may be required during work
• Advantages of this system
• Disadvantages of individual heating

To heat the majority apartment buildings the central heating system is currently in use. It does not always function at the proper level, bringing apartment owners a lot of trouble because of the low temperature in the room, even during mild frosts. In addition, the cost of services is often very high with low quality of service. Solve these problems could be an individual heating system, which is used primarily in private homes.

Refusing central heating is difficult, but there are undeniable advantages in the form of savings.

In a separate apartment, this method of heating, in addition to the advantages, also has certain difficulties connected with the refusal of central heating and the features of functioning new system.

Features of the equipment

Individual heating includes the installation of a boiler, the connection to it of radiators and pipes.

Depending on the type of energy used to heat the house, it is possible to install a gas or electric boiler.

In private houses more often electric boilers  due to the fact that there is no gas in the houses.

Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, so the owner makes the choice based on the possibility of installing a particular model in a particular apartment (in multi-storey buildings, the installation of gas boilers is prohibited), the cost of equipment and operating features.

In private houses and cottages, one of the most common heating appliances is electric boilers, since a gas pipeline is not connected to each remote site of the earth.

Electric boilers that provide individual heating have the following advantages:

1. The possibility of installation in a high-rise building.
2. Quiet work.
3. Absence of harmful emissions.
4. Ease of use.
5. Automatic shutdown system.

The main disadvantage of electric boilers is the possibility of their sudden disconnection when changing the parameters of electricity supply or water supply. Since the voltage jumps in the network occur quite often, the shutdown of the heating system can become regular. Another disadvantage electric boiler  - high, in comparison with gas, the cost of electricity.

Boilers are divided into single-circuit, two-circuit or three-circuit models. The first type of boilers is used only for the operation of the heating system. Two-circuit boilers can provide hot water in the apartment. A boilers of a three-circuit type are used for maintenance of swimming pools or a device of a warm floor.

Before making a choice in favor of a single-circuit or dual-circuit boiler, you need to think carefully. If there are problems with feeding hot water  no, the purchase of a boiler with a second circuit is not advisable, not only with financial, but also in terms of equipment operation.

If part of the hot water system does not work, the heat exchanger will be without water and serve as a source of overheating for the boiler.

If, nevertheless, the purchase of a dual-circuit boiler has taken place, and the hot water circuit is not used, it is necessary to open one tap from the water circuit, hot or cold. This will help avoid overheating, as well as the appearance of extraneous noise in the equipment due to increased pressure.

By the method of installation, boilers are divided into wall and floor. Wall models take up little space, but they are more difficult to install. Floor boilers  must be installed in a separate room. This requires the presence of additional space at home, but compensated by the fact that the boiler will be hidden and will not spoil the interior.

The device of independent heating begins with the removal of old radiators and risers, which are closed with a pipe made of metal-plastic or brewed.

If the radiators are in good condition, you can use them for a new system. If you need to purchase new ones, then the choice will be between cast iron, aluminum and steel models.

Cast iron radiators are the most durable, but they are too heavy and bulky. The most popular radiators today are made of steel.

What may be required during work

To lay pipes, you need a professional puncher, which will be able to punch holes in the reinforced concrete wall. But, in addition to it, additional tools will be needed:

Installation of the boiler can be done on its own, and it is possible to attract a specialized company that will also help with the preparation of documents for the boiler.

• welding machine;
• bulgarian;
• a hammer;
• drill;
• roulette;
• pencil for marking;
• a solution tank and a trowel (for closing cracks in the wall).

Pipes for circulation of the coolant are also of different types: steel, copper or metal-plastic. For each species, the appropriate fittings are selected.

To the system looked neat and did not spoil the appearance of the apartment, the piping and risers should be installed in the channels. They are poured over with concrete. In this regard, you can not save on the quality of pipes, because in order to repair them in case of leakage, it is necessary to break the wall or the floor.

To install the system, it is necessary to choose a specialized company that will not only perform all the work qualitatively, but also help with the design of projects for inspection bodies.

Advantages of this system

Individual heating of the house has several obvious advantages:

The main advantage of autonomous heating is that the apartment can be heated at any time of the year.

1. The ability to independently adjust the temperature in the room. The supply of central heating is often not affected by weather changes. Therefore, in the conditions of the changing climate of our country, when there may be a plus temperature on Monday, and by the end of the week frosts of 30 degrees, the apartment is either too hot or very cold.
2. The owner of the room also has the opportunity to turn on the heating, without waiting for the opening of the heating season. Some models of electric boilers allow you to set a certain temperature in each room. Individual heating reduces the cost of heating the house. This is expressed not only in the savings on heating in warm weather, but also in the lower costs of electricity in severe frosts, since it is possible to refuse the use of electric heaters.
3. Residents of apartment buildings often have to pay both bills for heating, and for electricity spent on the work of heaters. The presence of hot water at any time of day or night. This is very important in large cities, where hot water is either supplied on schedule, or only has a hot name. In practice, a slightly warm liquid flows from the tap under a weak pressure. In order for the boiler to ensure not only the heating of the house, but also the supply of hot water, it is necessary to acquire a model of a two-circuit type.

Owners of private apartments are not able to independently heat the house in the winter, so they are completely dependent on the services provided by utilities. People have no right to influence the end and the beginning of the heating season, there is no way to control heating costs for consumers either. Individual heating in the apartment can be an excellent solution to the problem. But its planning and subsequent implementation can be a real problem.

Positive feedback on the individual heating system

The most significant argument, which is in favor of using the operation of individual heating systems, is the level of comfort. Each user will have the opportunity to set, depending on their own wishes, a suitable temperature, controlling the boiler equipment. You do not have to wait for autumn frosts with the hope that the premises will soon become warm.

By designing and installing individual heating in an apartment, consumers argue that the savings, compared to using a central system, are very impressive. In the latter case, the consumer pays not only the heat that is used within the apartment, but also the temperature loss of the coolant that occur on the way to the destination. Among other things, users have to pay for maintenance and repair work on the thermal routes, here you can include the costs of using special equipment and the cost of laying new piping systems.

Tenants pay stop valves  and services for its verification, as well as services. It is impossible to avoid heat consumers, which is supplied by the central system, and pay for the services of employees of organizations responsible for heating. According to users, the presence of such a system as individual heating in the apartment, allows you to save on paying housing utilities. Consumers emphasize that you can save not only energy, but also money that you have to pay for hot water. However, there is one nuance. In order to achieve good results in the implementation individual system, you need to get permission to the housing and communal services.

Individual heating: is it possible to install

One of the simplest tasks in solving the issue in the arrangement of an individual heating system is a technical implementation. But the most difficult stage will be the receipt of documentation, which reflects the permission to carry out this kind of work. Much will depend on how loyal to this issue representatives of local administrative bodies will react. Individual heating in the apartment is an option not to equip in all cases. There is even a separate law that prohibits the transfer of apartments to this heating system. According to the law "On heat supply" under cl. 14 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 190, this may be possible in the event that the whole house will agree to the conversion. If you have the right to consider the issue, it will be important to collect a package of documents, a list of which is provided in the housing and communal services.

Algorithm for realizing the arrangement of an individual heating system

If you decide to install individual heating in the apartment, the refusal of the central will be necessary to produce. The solution to the situation is as follows. Initially, a commission is created, which includes representatives of executive authorities. Residents of the house or porch must write a collective application, which is submitted for consideration. Then you should wait for either rejection or permission. The law gives the authorities forty-five days to review the application.

Variants of development of events

It is necessary to take into account one more nuance. If you will be equipped with individual heating in the apartment, the refusal of the central heating equipment is implied a priori. If the permit is received, the tenants will be given a list of organizations that are to be visited in order to compile and obtain conditions, only after that it is possible to start works aimed at the re-equipment of the central heating system. If the refusal is received, then it is almost pointless to fight for obtaining another answer. As a reason for the last version of the development of events, the commission's conclusion on the occurrence in case of restructuring engineering communications  overloading of the pipeline or disturbance of heating in other premises (for example, basement and subsidiary) at home.

The technology of heating system installation

Individual heating in the apartment, the price of which can vary from 100 000 to 150 000 rubles, you can start building up right after the desired document is received. Masters can proceed to the technical side of solving this issue. Complexities should not arise here, since the stages will correspond to the technology of heating in a private house. During the work you have to solve some problems. Among them it is necessary to highlight the choice of boiler equipment, which will be located in the right place. Among other things, you will need to pick up and purchase radiators, pipes, wiring, and also think about which way of circulation of the coolant will be preferred.

Selection of boiler equipment

Installation of individual heating in the apartment provides for the first stage of the selection of the boiler. This part will become the basis of the whole system. We'll have to stop on two-circuit gas models that have a closed combustion chamber. For the operation of such modern heating equipment there is no need to use a flue or chimney. However, it is necessary to put the pipe outside, because with this device will receive the necessary amount of fresh air.

The design of the chimney is such that it will be possible to get rid of the combustion products without endangering the tenants of the apartment, as well as the neighbors. At the same time, the operation of the unit will not cause any inconvenience. Individual gas heating in the apartment provides for the use of a boiler, the cost of which can be equal to 600 dollars. This is the main disadvantage of installing an individual system. Experts do not recommend stopping at low-cost installations for security reasons, it's best to give preference to proven brands, so the cost of the model can vary from $ 900 to $ 1200.

Pipe Selection

If you manage to install individual heating in the apartment, then you can expect that it will be much more stable than the central one. The quality of the coolant that circulates inside will be better. To spend on the purchase of expensive radiators and pipes will not have to. However, it is not recommended to use cast-iron batteries and steel piping systems. They will create a big load on the walls.

Specialists advise choosing pipes made of plastic, which are made of polypropylene or cross-linked polypropylene. The first option is the most affordable, and its installation is simple, using a specialized tool is not required. Individual heating of apartment in apartment house  can be equipped with the use of cross-linked polypropylene, which is more expensive material. Such products are durable and characterized by excellent thermal conductivity. However, the master will have to stock up a special tool in the form of an extender.

Selection of radiators

If you have not decided what kind of radiators to choose, then you can prefer bimetallic or aluminum models. They are able to dissipate heat, and look very aesthetically. As another solution to this issue may come with water floors. When they are arranged, it is important that the height of the premises allows to increase the thickness of the screed, then heating system  will not exert pressure on the overlap.

Installation work: the way of circulation

Individual heating in an apartment can be carried out only if the correct way of circulation of the coolant is chosen, which can be forced or natural. If we are talking about an apartment building, then natural circulation  it is worth forgetting, since the rooms do not have enough height. Heater  most often located on the wall, this indicates that it will be above the radiator. That's why you'll have to build a system that involves forced circulation. It is important to purchase boiler equipment that has expansion tank  and the pump responsible for pumping the coolant.

System installation: wiring

During the work you will have to install individual meters for heating in the apartment. However, it is worthwhile to think about the wiring. The most expensive solution to the issue will be the location of pipes along the perimeter of the apartment. This will get one vicious circle, to which the batteries will crash parallel. The most practical and aesthetic is the radiation, or collector wiring, in which each device is connected separately. Pipes are placed on the sexual surface. If there is a wooden cover, you can lay the system between the lags, while the work should be entrusted to the communal services.

Conclusion

In the process of carrying out work it is important to remember some nuances. Among them, it should be noted that the moment that excludes the possibility of connecting the boiler equipment to the system exhaust ventilation. In the absence of a chimney channel, a turbo heat generator can be used, which has coaxial tube  and a closed camera. This will allow to remove the exhaust gases through the wall. For convenience, it is possible to install a two-circuit boiler, which will allow to refuse from the central hot water supply.
