Design a house with a stove for heating

Choosing a heating system is an important part of home design. Oven heating is sometimes planned as the only source of heat. For this reason, you must first think about the correct location of the furnace, which depends on its type. Additionally, the arrangement of the rooms should be provided so that they are heated evenly.

Features of projects of houses with stove heating

Space heating without the use of a water circuit is effective only when the furnace is installed in the center of the structure. It is erected in the wall of living rooms, and the firebox is taken out to the kitchen.

In some cases, it is recommended to install 2-3 heating chambers in different rooms instead of one. But the option with a single central firebox will be much more economical, since such a device requires only 1 chimney, fuel costs are significantly less.

In 2-story buildings, stove heating is possible, but persistent floor planning is required. It must withstand a difficult brick superstructure. Oven, stove for cooking. The lounger, as a rule, is located below. The 2nd floor should contain only a heating shield. When the house has only one large room, it is better to build an oven in the center. So she will distinguish between the kitchen and living room.

Examples of successful design

The furnace in the center

Such a layout of a house with a stove is considered the best. The firebox usually goes to the kitchen. If a hob is present, it is placed in the kitchen. The stove can heat no more than 3 rooms located nearby.

A stove in the corner

This option is convenient if there is a stove bench in the heating structure. It is more comfortable to place it aside, and not in the middle of the room. Planning in this case is carried out privately.

Multiple heat sources

Sometimes two or more stoves are installed in a one-story house. The main disadvantage of such a scheme is the need to heat them separately, to spend significantly more fuel material for heating the house. Central location is more efficient.

Russian stove

All possible designs are similar to each other, but some differences are present. In the house you can build these types of Russian stove:

1. With a stove. They are mounted in the base of the heating structure, usually they are an enclosed space.
2. With a fireplace. This option can be arranged in the hall to enjoy the view of a burning fire.
3. With a trestle bed. A separate place for rest and sleep is supposed, as it was in the old days.
4. With hob. Such a device creates a cozy indoor climate, a place for cooking homemade food.

When creating a project for a house with stove heating, it should be borne in mind that 1 m2 of the furnace heats approximately 35 m2 of the house.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of stove heating:

1. Autonomy. There is no dependence on a centralized heating system (planned outages, breakdowns).
2. Thrift. Solid fuel heaters are in significant demand. It is not always possible to heat with gas due to the lack of a gas pipeline, and heating by electricity is not accessible to everyone due to the high cost. The furnace can function on different materials: coal, dry branches, fuel oil, wood.
3. The ability to independently adjust the heating mode.With the help of modern systems, it is easy to adjust the temperature value indoors.
4. Interior decoration. The classic stove is an excellent design solution, which is currently in trend.

When installing the stove in the future, you may encounter such difficulties:

1. Soot can collect indoors. This occurs in case of improper use of the chimney, the use of low quality fuel.
2. There is a chance of carbon monoxide poisoning if the damper is not used correctly. The difficulty lies in the fact that the burning is not felt, does not cause pronounced symptoms.
3. Open heating stoves are dangerous for wooden houses made of timber. Even a small spark can cause a fire.
4. Structural elements include parts that are easily burned when heated. Young children are at the greatest risk.
5. With regular use, the chimney should often be cleaned of soot. Otherwise, pollution will cover indoor furniture, walls. Subsequently, they are not easy to clean.
6. To maintain combustion, it is periodically required to wipe the grate, which leads to the coating of the surrounding surfaces with a layer of ash. This raises the need for unscheduled cleaning.

In some cases, the stoves are installed in such a way that sometimes only a part suitable for cooking is used. Then the room is not heated, which is important in the warm season.

What to consider when creating drawings

If the project of a house with a Russian stove implies, first of all, adequate heating of the rooms, it is better to place the design of the heat source near the coldest wall. Due to this situation, the movement of cold air near the floor is excluded.

Heating furnaces, as a rule, are located near doorways or partitions that separate rooms, and the furnace door is closer to the front door. The layout of the house should be such that the heat source takes up less usable space.

Between the rafters on the roof and the beams of the attic floor, you need to equip the outlet of the chimney. The blower doors, as well as the furnace, are positioned so that at least a meter of free space remains to the wall or partition.

The fireplace does not provide sufficient heating in the harsh Russian climate. If it is installed in a wooden house, attention should be paid to fire safety during the design.

Advanced stove heating

High-quality heating of the house is provided with a classic stove with a fireplace. In this case, the structure will additionally be heated using open flame.

Simplified and combined options for stove heating of country houses can be supplemented with a water circuit: this will ensure uniform heating of the house. Then it does not matter where the furnace will be located. With this scheme, most of the heat is used to heat the water in the heat exchanger; the walls of the stove heat up slightly.

Installing stove heating in a village house may be more profitable than other methods of heating the building. But to build such housing can only be a good specialist who is able to plan the functional placement of the furnace.
