Overview and selection of heating for an apartment
Autonomous heating of the apartment allows you to abandon low-quality public utilities and independently plan their costs for heating the home. Therefore, every year there are more and more owners of “autonomous cars”.
Types of autonomous heating of apartments
Individual heating of the apartment can be:
- Gas. Water heated by the boiler is used as a heat carrier;
- Electric. Most often, apartments are equipped with underfloor heating. They are easy to operate, do not spoil the design of the room.
Gas boilers are very popular among the population. But for such equipment it is necessary to obtain permits. The permit is issued by the administrative authority on the basis of the following documents:
- statements;
- a document on the ownership of the living space where the installation of individual heating is planned.
According to the current legislation, the tenant replaces the heating in the apartment at his own expense. This also applies to the replacement of risers, radiators. Which is often carried out when connected to an autonomous heating source.
Advantages of individual apartment heating
- The owner sets the temperature in the apartment and even in individual rooms at his own discretion. You can adjust the heating mode depending on the time of day;
- This is the best way to save money and resources;
- During the off-season, when the central heating does not work, the autonomy creates comfort;
- The efficiency of modern autonomous heating systems for apartments is very high, so money does not go to the wind;
- The apartment warms up evenly;
- Heating equipment for apartments is very easy to operate.
According to experts, the only drawback of individual apartment heating is the high cost of installation and the difficulty of obtaining documentation. The equipment will pay off in not one year. Indeed, when installing, for example, a gas boiler, it is necessary to replace the heating radiators in the apartment. Cast-iron have too much inertia - they accumulate heat for a long time, instead of giving it to the room.
Apartment heating price
The price of heating an apartment consists of many factors:
- cost of heating equipment;
