The implementation of a private or country house independent of centralized heating is a difficult task. Since the heating system must combine in itself, at the same time high efficiency and at the same time economy. Autonomous heating systems are most often organized as gas, electric or water heating.
The organization of a water heating system provides for the presence of an expansion tank built into the heating system and providing gravity circulation of water in the system installation of pipes (at a slight angle). Such a system perfectly justifies itself when heating small houses in the area even without the use of a circular electric pump.
Autonomous heating of a country house can also be realized using electricity. When selling electric heating, a recalculation of the existing electric network of up to 10 kW may be needed due to the significant power of the electric boiler at 4-6 kW (as a rule, the consumer norm is 5-6 kW). It will not be superfluous, in the event of force majeure and interruptions with energy supply, to ensure a reserve power system by installing a diesel engine. In recent years, the design of heating systems using alternative energy sources has become quite popular. The use of such technologies allows you to reduce energy dependence and save significantly on the consumption of electric and thermal energy (approximately 30-50% per year).
The most common type of heating of cottages is gas heating. The use of double -circuit gas boilers allows not only to heat the house, but also provide, thus, warm water supply. The main disadvantages of this kind of heating system are in constantly growing gas tariffs and, in some cases, the technical impossibility of connecting to the gas supply system.
