Installation of water heating of a country house

Only very determined people give up the usual wood-burning stove in a country house. And yet, it is no longer it is the main heating unit. A modern comfortable house requires a heating system. It can be gas, air, water. Now you can choose the most acceptable in certain conditions way of heating a cottage, villa, townhouse.

Well, if the choice of the heating system (for example, water) is still at the design stage. In Russia, this is the most common way of heating the living quarters. Already in the process of construction work is being done to facilitate the installation of a water heating system. If a water pipe is laid near the construction site, then a connection to it is made, and the problem of water supply and, accordingly, water heating is solved. You can dig a well or punch a well - in this case these systems become autonomous in the literal sense of the word. The pump connected to these sources is able to meet all the water needs in sufficient volume.

Often, the installation of heating, water supply is made in an already ready, and even the old house. This makes it difficult and expensive to work, but the list of necessary equipment is in any case unchanged: boiler, pipes, fittings (supports, fasteners, connecting elements), heating devices (radiators). Sometimes you need a powerful electric pump and a storage tank for water.

Installation of water heating is impossible without a project, it determines the specificity of this object and depends on what type of system is assumed: with natural or forced circulation. And in accordance with it, necessary and additional equipment is purchased.

If the heating and water supply system is connected to the public main and provides for the laying of the pipeline through the municipal lands, then a project coordinated with all the official interested services is needed. As a rule, such an engineering project of water supply and heating is created by professionals and takes into account all the features of the territory and terrain. In the case where the installation of water heating is carried out from its own well or well, such an agreement is not necessary.

The laying of pipes in the house depends on the location of the external water supply to the house, the location of the boiler, the location and the number of heating units (radiators). All this should be fixed on the work plan.

The optimal pipeline should be straight, but, if possible, without right angles. Joints, folds often cause leakage, so they should be as small as possible. Pipes for external installation and in-house should be of different diameters.

If the installation of water heating involves radiators, the pipes should have a diameter of not more than 3/4 inches, for a two-pipe system, 60-100 mm pipes are required. For the heating system, pipes made of soft steel are used. But they are prone to corrosion, so more often used stainless steel pipes. Galvanized pipes are also used.

The main and main part of the heating system is a boiler. There are heating boilers of various modifications: solid fuel (coal, wood, briquettes), gas, liquid fuel (mazut, diesel fuel). Increasingly, consumers are choosing boilers that are heated by electricity. Often homeowners choose boilers with a combined heating system.

Choosing the type of boiler - the simplest, simple or full-service, thermostat, automatic switches, even with program control, depends on the financial possibilities.

A person with technical knowledge and practical skills can do the installation of water heating with their own hands, but it's best to instruct the qualified specialists.
