Gas heating systems of residential buildings vary depending on the seasonality of residence, the number of floors and the material from which the building was built.
Pros and cons of gas heating
The main feature of gas heating of wooden houses is that people come here from time to time.
In the absence of the owners, the house and the heating system are cooled. Equipping gas heating of the country house with the help of a boiler, the owners will have to drain the system every time they leave the cottage for a long time. It is not comfortable. Therefore, it is recommended to install gas convectors. The only minus of gas heating of the cottage by convectors is the inability to heat water.
As fuel for gas heating of a wooden house, you can use both natural gas and balloon gas. Cylinders are installed outside the house, under a canopy, in a barn or in a specially equipped box.
Reviews:
Last year, gas cylinders were installed for heating an apartment building. We are heated by a boiler and radiators. A programmer was connected to the boiler, so we set the temperature at night to +14, and during the day and on weekends +22 degrees. In a month, we spend a total of up to 11 cylinders. We hope that in the next two years we will be connected to natural gas. We connected the system ourselves, using video of gas heating at home as an aid.
Gas heating of a wooden house
Installation of gas heating cottage made of wood has its own characteristics. They are connected with the ability of a tree, as a “living" material, to deform with time, to precipitate.
Therefore, when installing risers, so-called compensators are mounted. In some cases, “sliding” mountings are used, for more details see the video gas heating at home. The most difficult thing is to correctly mount the hidden ceiling sex sections of the route. In the rest, the gas heating scheme of a country house made of wood is no different from that for a brick, stone or panel house.
Reviews about gas heating at home:
- We live in a wooden house equipped with gas heating of a two-story house 20 years ago. During this time, only the boiler was changed. We are very pleased that we can turn on our heating at any time. With central heating during the off-season, they were very cold and suffered from dampness. Having gas heating of a two-story house, at an affordable price we live in warmth and convenience;
- And I equipped myself with heating on coal, because we live in a distant Siberian village and gas heating of an apartment building, we most likely will never have. A Dutch solid fuel boiler was installed in the basement of the house. We drown it once a day, for a day, if on the street -40, about 5 buckets of coal leave. And if it's warmer, then one and a half is enough. Thus, we get 5 tons of coal per winter. It takes only an hour a week to take care of the boiler to clean it.
