How to reduce your home's heat consumption. How to save on heating a private country house. The essence of the process and the most important thing

Energy prices are rising year after year, and the problem of energy efficiency of the devices we use, from cars to smartphones, is becoming more and more pressing. But uneconomical equipment can be replaced if desired.

What to do with in-house equipment?

To improve energy efficiency country house with a complex “filling”, a set of measures will need to be taken.

Ideally, this problem should be solved at the stage of developing a building project. Optimal results can only be achieved with proper design of the structure and the use of modern thermal insulation materials and high-quality installation.

Once the house is built, replacing the insulation or heating system will be difficult and very expensive. However, it is possible to locally improve heating, water supply and energy systems. Here are some recommendations for increasing the energy efficiency of in-house heating systems.

DANCE FROM THE CAULDRON

If you use mains gas, then it is more rational to replace a conventional (convection) boiler with a condensing one. Probably all owners have heard about condensation technologies. country houses. Due to their higher efficiency (up to 107% of the so-called conventional design, compared to 80-93% for boilers of traditional design), such models provide significant fuel savings.

But condensing devices are recommended for use in low-temperature heating systems in which the coolant does not have to be heated above 65-70 °C. For example, in systems with water heated floors. It is desirable that the temperature of the coolant entering the boiler (return temperature) is within 50 ° C, then water vapor will condense in the heat exchanger, giving an increase in efficiency. Therefore, in cottages heated with water-heated floors, replacing a convection boiler will most likely not be difficult.

When radiators with coolant heated to 80 °C or more are used for space heating, the return temperature will most likely be too high, condensation will not occur, and the efficiency condensing boiler will approach the efficiency of conventional devices. In any case, before replacing a standard boiler with a condensing boiler, it is necessary to perform a thermal technical calculation of the system, as well as a calculation of the work, because in addition to the difference in the cost of condensing and conventional boilers, you will have to replace the chimney and install a condensate neutralizer tank.

SAVINGS IN RUBLES

Let's assume that to heat a house with an area of 100 m2 you need 10 kW of power. We can assume that the combustion of 1 m3 of gas will give the required 10 kW, therefore, every hour we will burn 1 m3 of gas, and in six months heating season Approximately 4320 m 3 of gas will fly out into the pipe, costing about 26 thousand rubles. (at the rate of 6 rubles per 1 m 3). If we can save 15-20% of fuel, then in this case the savings will be 4-5 thousand rubles. per season.

Another option for saving gas (or other type of fuel) is to equip the boiler with weather-dependent automation, which is capable of changing the heating mode (and fuel consumption) depending on outside temperature. The equipment set includes street and room temperature, control unit (controller), servo drives of three-way valves of the pumping and mixing unit.

The automation can be installed on an existing boiler, but please note that not all models support the installation of sensors. For example, outdated technology is unlikely to be automated. However, almost everything modern devices famous manufacturers- Ariston, Bosch, Buderus, Viessmann - support work with automation.

So, mechanical thermostats on/off switches provide some savings and comfort, but they can never compare with electronic sensors, with the help of which the boiler analyzes the dynamics of temperature changes and easily adapts even to “non-standard” situations (for example, when there is a party in the house or all the rooms are ventilated). Most price electronic devices is about 5-10% of the cost of the boiler itself, while they can significantly, by 15-20%, reduce gas consumption.

EXPERT OPINION
Installing boiler automation is the easiest way to optimize heating costs. Quite a large part of the energy is spent on turning the boiler on and off and on excess temperature in the room. Typically, the user approaches the boiler approximately once a month and adjusts it according to weather conditions. In this case, the boiler only works optimally for these days, then the energy is used inefficiently. And thanks to automation, room and street temperature sensors, heating can function optimally all the time. Programmers or remote control allow you to reduce the temperature during periods of absence of owners, which also reduces fuel consumption. SERGEY BUGAEV

The user can install simple sensors independently. More complex electronic ones must be set up by a specialist, but the work will not take 10 minutes.

REVEALING THE SECRET OF BALANCE

Very often, the efficiency of a heating system can be increased by hydraulically balancing the system. An untuned heating system usually operates with excess power, and homeowners sometimes regulate the comfortable temperature with the help of wide-open vents, where the “excess” heat escapes. Adjusting the coolant flow rate on all radiators will save up to 30-40% of fuel.

ADJUSTING ROOM BY ROOM

Heating efficiency by zone can also be increased by using room automatic heating temperature control. After all, maintaining the same air temperature in all rooms around the clock is uneconomical. In any cottage there are rooms that are not used; the temperature in them can be reduced to a minimum, say from 18 to 13 ° C.

A “differentiated” approach to heating is considered optimal. In this case, you can divide the premises into several zones (circuits), allocate a separate small pump for each and, using a zone controller, set up control based on sensor readings. In this case, you will have to slightly redesign the pipelines, but with a relatively low cost polymer or metal-plastic pipes the cost of rework will be low.

Modern electronic thermostats are more economical than traditionally designed models. So, room thermostats Danfoss with chronoproportional control function controls the frequency and duration of boiler switching on within each operating cycle. Thanks to them, it is possible to increase the efficiency of using condensing boilers by 5-10%, that is, reduce fuel consumption.

"Classical" room thermostat starts the boiler when the air temperature in the room drops below the value set by the user, and stops after reaching the required level. But during this period of time the boiler does not work continuously, it turns on periodically, like an electric iron.

Automatic thermostats with a chronoproportional control function can control the frequency and duration of switching on depending on the rate of change in air temperature. Thus, regulation becomes smoother, excessive fuel consumption is practically eliminated and the level of comfort is significantly increased.

WE FLOW THE HOUSE WITH ELECTRICITY

We widely use electric heaters for local “reheating” of air in residential premises. Let's say, on cold spring or autumn evenings we turn on oil heater or a convector. However, electricity can be used much more efficiently, including for year-round main heating. Best suited for this purpose heat pumps type "air-to-air" or "air-to-water".

The familiar air conditioners - split systems with room heating function - are essentially air-to-air heat pumps. However, classic split systems cannot be used as heating devices, at least in middle lane Russia.

But the new generation of heat pumps also work at low temperatures. Therefore, the most logical solution would be to use an air-to-water heat pump optimized for domestic conditions.

It is more efficient, economical, durable, will not constantly fail, for example, due to freezing of the external radiator, has the function of weather-dependent regulation of the heating system and other useful options.

Air-to-water heat pumps are considered one of the most affordable solutions, since they do not require either laying a collector or drilling wells. personal plot. Low potential thermal energy they get directly from atmospheric air In terms of efficiency, modern air heat pumps are not only not inferior to geothermal ones, but sometimes even surpass them.

Thus, the conventional efficiency indicator of some models of air heat pumps reaches the value COP = 5 (per 1 kW of consumed electricity produces 5 kW of heat), which today is considered very high.

Is it possible to install weather-compensated automation on an existing boiler? What components will have to be replaced, what savings will it bring and how much will the replacement cost?

The problem must be considered depending on specific situation. If the heat generator supports these functions, but they are not implemented, then this is simply setting up the boiler, sensors and automation: boiler output, regulation of individual heating circuits. The second, universal, but more expensive option is to install a separate controller that will perform weather-dependent regulation (that is, heat generation constant temperature, and the regulation of the heating system is weather-dependent).

This method is slightly less profitable: from the point of view of comfort and efficiency of heat consumption, everything will be fine, but weather-dependent heat generation also provides savings - increased efficiency. In the off-season, when boilers can operate at low temperatures, the efficiency will increase, which is unattainable with the second method. As for prices, the range is huge: from 10 thousand rubles. for the simplest controllers up to hundreds of thousands of rubles for modern models. IGOR KENIG

As is known, the most efficient energy carrier for heating system private house is the main natural gas. In addition, modern automated boiler equipment makes using gas simple and as safe as possible. But how to ensure cheap heating at home, if in the foreseeable future there is no possibility of connecting the house to the gas main?

The cheaper it is to heat a private house- looking for ways

Principles for choosing an energy carrier

Economical heating of a private home is based on the cost and availability of coolant. When choosing, you should focus not only on the current situation (for example, the opportunity to get coal or diesel fuel through an acquaintance at prices below the market average, or receive wood waste for free) but also to sensibly assess the prospects.

If the house is without gas, you need to choose at least two alternative energy sources - for the main and backup heat sources. This approach allows you to protect your home from serious problems, associated not only with low temperatures in residential premises, but also with defrosting of the water heating system.

Before comparing the efficiency of energy carriers (excluding mains gas), it is necessary to highlight those types of fuel that are most accessible to the average consumer.

For example, it is worth taking beyond the line solar collector, since it can only be seriously considered as an additional source of energy due to the fact that sunny days there is not enough production per year on the main territory of Russia; in addition, the equipment is not cheap.

Also, let’s leave aside the heat pump for now - it produces free energy, but to get it, you need to use electricity. Plus, the system is difficult to install and requires serious costs for professional calculations and construction.

Thus, the list of available coolants includes:

liquefied gas in cylinders (installation of a gas tank requires a one-time investment of serious funds);
diesel fuel (diesel fuel);
electricity;
ordinary firewood;
coal;
pellets;
eurowood.

Attention! If you have access to such fuel as cheap peat briquettes etc., their indicators for comparison can be calculated using the method given below.

Calculation of fuel costs

To decide how to heat your home without... extra costs, it is necessary to calculate the consumption level of each available type of fuel.

Before starting calculations, it is important to understand the units of measurement of the amount of energy carrier and bring them into line so as not to compare cubic meters with kilograms. Apart from electricity, all other fuels can be measured in kilograms.

When figuring out what is the best way to heat a country house, it is useful to compile the following table:

Energy carrier	Calorific value (kW/h for 1 kg of fuel)	Quantity of heat, necessary for the home area of 100 m2 per heating season (kW/h)	Boiler efficiency
Propane	13	21600	0.9
Diesel fuel	11.9	21600	0.85
Firewood	4.5	21600	0.75
Coal	7.7	21600	0.75
Pellets	5.2	21600	0.8
Eurodrova	5.5	21600	0.75
Electricity (single tariff scheme)	-	21600	0.99
Electricity (multi-tariff scheme)	-	21600	0.99

To select the maximum economical heating private house, you should fill in the empty columns in the table.

This is done as follows:

Column 2. The cost of each energy carrier is entered, focusing on current prices in the region of residence or the price at which you can get this fuel. Remember to convert your units to kilograms (except for electricity).
Column 4. To calculate how much 1 kW of thermal energy received will cost, you need to divide the price of 1 kg of fuel by the specific calorific value(divide the value of column 2 by the value of column 3).
Column 5. An approximate value is included here (the length of the heating season is 180 days, the average thermal energy consumption per hour is 5 kW for a house of 100 m 2, hence 5 × 24 × 180 = 21600 kW/h). Instead, indicate the figure obtained as a result of an accurate thermal calculation of your home.
Column 6. To calculate the estimated costs for the season, multiply the values in columns 4 and 5.
Column 8. The calculated costs must be divided by the efficiency of the boiler unit, since fuel consumption directly depends on the efficiency of the equipment.

So, by comparing the indicators in the last column, you can determine what is cheaper to heat the house in your case.

However, looking for the most economical way To ensure warmth in your home, you need to take into account a number of other points so as not to be disappointed in your choice.

Ease of use

The heating system should not only be efficient and economical, but also comfortable to use. The less trouble it causes, the better, since the effort to maintain its functioning is an indirect cost of heating.

The ease of use of the fuel chosen to heat the house is assessed according to very specific criteria:

difficulty in servicing the heat source, its maintainability;
the need for fuel storage and what is required for this;
ease of everyday use (fuel supply, etc.).

Note! Fuel should be assessed according to the above criteria taking into account the characteristics of boiler units, etc. For example, a boiler long burning coal-fired stove is incomparably more convenient than a conventional brick solid fuel stove. That is, first decide on the type of heater you can afford.

Service:

The undoubted leaders are electric boilers. They are durable, the most they can require is sometimes to clean the oxidized contacts.
Propane gas boiler - unpretentious equipment, cleaning of igniter, burners, etc. required approximately every two years.
Pellet boiler. You will have to clean the combustion chamber several times a year, and once a year you will have to clean the chimney.
Coal and wood boilers, stoves - regularly require cleaning from ash, but this indicator greatly depends on the design of the heater and can range from once a day to once every two months or more. May require frequent chimney cleaning.
Diesel boiler. Depends on the characteristics of the unit and the quality of the fuel - it can work without being inferior gas boiler, or it can constantly “be capricious”, as a result of which you will have to systematically blow through the injectors, etc.

Fuel storage:

Electricity does not require storage. However, in case emergency situation It is recommended to have a diesel electric generator on the farm. And for this unit itself and the fuel for it, it is necessary to allocate space.
Heating in a private house using firewood, eurowood, pellets requires storage space, and in the case of fuel made from sawdust, this must be a dry, closed room. It is also recommended to store firewood, protected from precipitation, since the higher the moisture content of the wood, the lower its heat transfer.
Coal. It is stored in a specially designated place, it gets very dirty and dusty, so it is not very convenient to use.
Gas cylinders. Requires storage in a separate building, measures must be taken fire safety. Preference should be given to an underground reservoir - a gas holder.
Containers with diesel fuel. Stored in a separate room in the boiler room, away from the house, since the fuel has a sharp bad smell. However, today a tank with diesel fuel is often installed underground, like a gas holder. This makes the system more convenient to use, but increases the cost.

Ease of use:

It is most convenient to heat with electricity, since heating equipment does not require any intervention.
Pellet boilers are refueled approximately once every two weeks or less (depending on the volume of the bunker), and cylinders are changed at approximately the same frequency when heating with liquefied gas. A long-burning coal boiler can also operate on one refill for 1-2 weeks.
A diesel fuel boiler requires regular monitoring, especially if the fuel quality is low.
Solid fuel boilers require loading the firebox 1-3 times a day.

Give yourself a rating from 1 to 5 for each type of fuel (or heating unit) in all of the above categories. And determine for yourself whether it is always the most economical heating preferable to something more expensive but convenient.

Let's figure out how to heat a country house (dacha) without gas

When choosing cheap heating for a private home, also pay attention to such a characteristic of the boiler unit as energy independence. If it is decided to provide heating for a private house without gas using an electric boiler, the backup heat source should be, for example, a solid fuel non-volatile boiler or stove.

Boiler unit to heat the house

When choosing what is more profitable to heat a house, we must not forget about the costs of installing a heating unit. It is not always important how cheap the energy source is, since the equipment for its use (or generation, if we are talking about solar energy, etc.) can be expensive. Here is an approximate price range for heating equipment different types to determine which one is more profitable to choose.

Brick oven with stove. 20-100 t.r. and more, depending on the size, type, complexity of the design, the presence of tiled cladding, etc. A well-made stove is ideal for wooden house, it can last for several decades.

Liquid fuel boiler. The cost of the unit is 25-180 thousand rubles. Many models are suitable if you plan to connect a house heated with diesel fuel to a gas main - the boiler just needs to replace the burner and no new equipment will be required.

Solid fuel boilers. 20-400 tr. Inexpensive option will require frequent refilling of fuel. Long-burning boilers are included in the average price category. Automated units require large investments during the installation phase.

Choosing a boiler unit

Electric boilers . 15-100 t.r. depending on the power of the model. If the region has a cheap nightly electricity tariff, you can partially reduce heating costs by installing a heat accumulator in combination with an electric boiler. In addition, when choosing how to heat a house if there is no gas, you can pay attention to other heat sources that run on electricity: infrared heaters, fan heaters, film heated floors, air heating systems, etc.

Solar collectors. 15-60 tr. - price flat devices, about 80 tr. – vacuum. The energy of the sun is inexhaustible, but even in areas with a large number of sunny days a year, solar collectors serve only as an additional source of thermal energy for heating or preparing water in the hot water supply system.

Heat pumps. 200-1500 t.r. depending on the complexity of the system. The heat pump takes thermal energy from environment. Its operation requires starting energy; on average, to deliver 10 kW of thermal energy, it spends 3 kW of electricity - this high efficiency. But the heat pump is also not universal, since it is able to function stably only at an air temperature of at least -15 degrees, and completely loses its functionality at -30 degrees. In temperate regions, a heat pump would provide the cheapest heating if not for the significant initial investment.

Results

Everyone selects the most economical heating based on specific conditions; there is no universal advice on this matter. A good option– an electric boiler in combination with any other unit, primarily solid fuel. A heat accumulator to which you can connect several different heat sources, including a solar collector, is a real opportunity to spend a minimum of money on heating.

In addition, one should not forget about high-quality insulation Houses. You can save on fuel only if heat loss is kept to a minimum.

With the onset of the winter months, coolant consumption increases sharply. The lower the temperature outside, the more difficult it is to heat the room. But in last years prices for basic coolants began to rise. And the forecast for the future is disappointing. Winters will not become shorter, gas will not become cheaper. After the long winter of this year, many had to think about how to heat a private home so that the family budget would not suffer.

In the past, everyone tried to connect the house to gas and use it for heating. This possibility does not always exist. Some home owners have calculated that it is now more profitable to change the heating system. There are other ways to reduce heating costs. Let's talk about everything in order.

Insulate the walls of the building

Before discussing heating options private building, it should be noted that a lot of heat is wasted. You burn gas, consume electricity, heat water. And the heat escapes through the walls and roof. Don't believe me? Take a walk along a private street in winter. Has the snow melted on the roofs of many houses? Why?

Heated air becomes lighter and tends upward. If the ceiling and roof are not insulated, heat penetrates outside, melts the snow on the roof, and heats the air around the building. The heat in the house does not stay in and you have to constantly turn it on gas burner. And the foundation walls conduct cold and moisture. The room is constantly damp and cold.

Scientists have calculated that half home warmth goes outside through the structures of the building. It will not be possible to insulate a building 100 percent. After all, the house must breathe. However, insulation work may well reduce heat loss by half.

There are many insulation options. For example, you can pump liquid penoizol by drilling holes between the rows brickwork. Can be insulated external walls foam or mineral wool. A layer of expanded clay can be poured onto the ceiling.

The choice of materials for insulation is also constantly increasing. Foam and mineral wool they are cheap. But you can use other materials, for example, glass wool or polyurethane foam. In some cases, straw, hay, and sawdust are used as insulation.

If the house has heating batteries, cover the walls behind the radiator with reflective foil. The heat will not warm the wall, but will be reflected from the foil and will heat the room.

If you use gas for heating, be sure to install a gas meter. You will be able to control gas consumption.

We heat the house with wood

Many are looking for an alternative gas heating. But is it possible to heat a modern house with wood? We are, of course, not talking about the traditional Russian stove on which our grandmothers cooked. Now there are cast iron and steel furnaces, which can be heated with coal or wood. Outwardly, they resemble the well-known potbelly stove, but have a number of advantages. Let us immediately note that the cast iron construction is more reliable.

Sellers of wood stoves claim that they can heat the entire house and that such heating will be cheaper than gas heating. Can you believe this? In order for such a stove to operate at full capacity, special wood is needed. You will need perfectly dry logs. It is also better to purchase only hard wood. Pine or maple logs will not work. You will have to buy oak or beech wood. Other wood will also burn in this stove, but the heat from their combustion will be much less.

Minuses

Now let's analyze the disadvantages of such heating. The stove will have to be installed in one room, which will heat up as much as possible. Less heat will flow into other rooms. When heating with gas, you distribute the body evenly in all rooms.

By turning on a double-circuit electric boiler, you can not only warm up the house. You will have hot water in the bathroom and kitchen. A wood heating You can't connect it to the shower stall.

Firewood will have to be stocked and stored in a separate room. To maintain a pleasant temperature in the house, you will have to add firewood several times a day. The ash also needs to be raked out and taken outside.

Now about smoke and combustion products. Ventilation must be provided for them. Otherwise, there will be a threat to health or even life. The stove cannot be left unattended, otherwise a fire may occur if a spark falls on the floor or clothing catches fire from the hot surface.

You can purchase a boiler that runs on compressed sawdust. This stove is expensive, but has several advantages:

fuel can be added once every 3 days;
little ash is generated, it can be removed after a week or two;
the heat transfer of this design is at the level of a wood stove;
Sawdust cylinders are very light and take up little space.

Candle based heater

Sometimes there is a need to heat only one room or workplace. We can recommend purchasing a Doyle Doss thermal device. The American called his invention “Heat Trap”. The heat source is a burning candle. It turns out that when a candle burns, a lot of heat is generated, but it dissipates.

The heating device allows you to capture heated air. A special ceramic cap is located above the flame. Its task is to collect and accumulate warm air. The heat warms the ceramic cap, which warms the room.

This is what a Dosa heater looks like.

You certainly shouldn’t expect that such a heater will solve the heating problem. Experience has shown that a ceramic radiator can warm up small room no earlier than 10 o'clock. If the house is connected to electricity, it is better to use an oil radiator.

If you need to heat separate room or small area rooms, it is better to buy infrared heater. It starts working immediately and does not consume much electricity.

Previously, many were afraid that this type of radiation could have a bad effect on health. It turned out that infrared rays even have a healing effect. This type of radiation is used to prevent colds.

Experience of European countries

If you have not yet decided how best to heat a private home, ask how they approach this problem in European countries. In many of these countries, prices for coolants are very high. Therefore, they have long been looking for methods to reduce the consumption of gas and electricity when heating rooms.

In Finland they began to build “passive” houses. This type of building allows you to consume a minimum amount of energy from external sources. A little later, such buildings began to appear in Germany. Energy-independent buildings can reduce heating costs.

An example of a European energy-independent house.

If the building is located in the south, where there are many sunny days, electricity is obtained thanks to solar panels. In northern countries, the sun cannot provide enough energy. Wind turbines are being built. The heat of the earth is also often used. Indeed, at a certain depth, even in winter months a lot of heat.

A system of heat exchangers is installed in the ground. Ground air and heat pumps are used. During the winter months, the water is heated by the heat of the earth. It must be said that such a system requires large installation costs and pays off after several decades. If you decide to carry out such an experiment, then you should definitely insulate all the structures of the house, starting from the foundation walls and ending with the ceiling and roof of the building.

If the heating bills for your home exceed the average monthly Moscow salary and you are satisfied with all this, then you don’t have to read further - continue to heat your stove with thick wads of paper money.

If you are wondering how much you will pay and how to reduce the heating costs of your future home, then you are here just in time - this article is for you!

First, about the banal - a few myths about what you know or don’t know about:

Myth 1. Gas is cheap here, so I have nothing to think about

Well, almost an ideal phrase for the happy owners of yellow gas pipe- their life is really good! True, these people forget to count how much they paid the gas workers for the project and its approval, for supplying the pipe and its insertion, and God knows what else - count and divide. But it was worth it, because after that came Happiness!

Everything is fine, but there is a nuance - our government annually plans to raise gas tariffs for the population and in the very near future we will pay at the average European tariffs, and this is “more likely not a ruble, but more than a euro.” Think about it, the meager Russian pension is just around the corner.

Myth 2. I will make thick walls and install plastic windows

Well, this is generally a classic: a meter-long brick wall or 240 mm laminated veneer lumber - Africa is resting! We take the maximum thickness, install the walls “forever” and forget about heat loss forever - a perfectly working formula. In the window openings we make sure to install the most modern windows, three- or, what’s more, five-chamber! Sealed double-glazed window with selective glass, filled with argon, elite wooden or seven-chamber plastic profile with a slot for ventilation - that’s it, the heat won’t go away, it will stay here. Great, your warm fur coat is ready!

Just great, though, again one caveat - let’s leave the cost of thick walls and windows, that’s not about that now - you traditionally forgot about the thickness of the roof insulation, the cold floor and the completely idiotic metal door. All these components of the frame of your home are no less important for heat conservation than walls and windows - the roof must have insulation of at least 400 mm, the floor simply must be “warm”, and Entrance door must be insulated, and even with several sealing contours.

Myth 3. I will install the biggest and hottest batteries.

Another typical opinion about heating a house with super radiators. Even if you take into account the current SNIPs and correctly position the radiators under the windows, you will not receive any guarantee that you will be warm. True, it’s quite possible that you will be hot, but your feet will be cold. The reason is simple - you are not warming yourself, but the place near the radiator, i.e. a local patch of space near the battery and that’s it!

The heated air rises, somewhere at the level of the torso and face you begin to feel warm, but your legs remain almost icy - after all, you simply forgot about them! The cure for this is quite simple - throw away the batteries. NO to batteries, YES warm floor. Water or electric - it's up to you. As a result, you get a uniformly heated floor surface, the heat from which you will feel with your whole body, without exception, and energy costs will be significantly reduced.

Further, at some point in time you become hot and then the quintessence of the process comes, and it’s simply banal stupidity - you open the window! For what? Well, to ventilate, to let off steam, to breathe fresh air to replace the burnt-inhaled stale air with clean and fresh air!

The moment you opened the window, you immediately crossed out all the costs of gas supply, wall thickness, expensive windows, on a warm floor - that precious heat that cost you a lot of money you simply...threw out the window!

Doesn't it smell like idiocy? Fully! This disease is treated very simply - you simply did not think about ventilation. Or rather, you certainly thought about it, but traditionally, in Russian - you were told that in your house there will be natural ventilation in the form of a hole in the kitchen wall. Cheap and cheerful. Well, of course, ventilation, how could it be otherwise. But natural ventilation is not at all the kind of ventilation that should be in your home!

The essence of the process and the most important thing

When you sleep, you release 400 ml of moisture per night, when you wash, you get 10 liters of moisture in the form of evaporation, when you cook, you have 5 liters of moisture in the form of steam. Multiply this by the number of people in your home. This moisture will never come out naturally, never! It will turn into condensation on the windows, fungus will feed on it, and mold will multiply in it. You will begin to get sick, and your house will begin to collapse.

For healthy and comfortable indoor air, it is necessary to replace used air with fresh air; all air in the house must be renewed every hour. This indicator is achieved only when using forced ventilation which will provide an influx of fresh air and an outflow of exhaust air.

In order to reduce the cost of heating a house, fresh air needs to enter the room already warm and comfortable, i.e. heated to a comfortable state. In a properly insulated, sealed house, this will be enough to keep the temperature inside the room constant, the one we need. If we do not open windows and doors, then the heat does not go anywhere, but remains in the house. Heating costs are reduced by up to 80%, so you save 4/5 of today's costs!

This result can be obtained by installing the system supply and exhaust ventilation with recovery. Great thing! The ventilation unit takes air from the street, purifies it, heats it with exhaust air leaving the house, and delivers fresh warm air to all rooms of the house. At the same time, it determines the required amount of exhaust air, collects it and removes it outside, while simultaneously heating the incoming cold air from the street with this flow. Brilliant!

As a result of this process, you receive clean, fresh air, and dirty air is completely removed from the house. wet air. At the same time, the temperature in the house remains unchanged, and your body does not experience drafts, heat and cold. There is no need to heat anything additionally, because the windows do not open and the temperature does not drop. There comes a harmony that does not exist. Real health, sound sleep and longevity come.

Professional installation of a supply and exhaust ventilation system with recovery will provide your home with fresh air, which will extend your life by 20 years, save your home from destruction and save money on its heating. If your house is at the approval stage, we will design such ventilation and install it. If your house has already been built, then it doesn’t matter, we’ll figure it out and help you.

Make your life and the life of your home healthy!

Attention! We offer the best ready-made solution for your home - installation of a system that combines heating, ventilation and air cooling. As a result, in modern house, sufficiently sealed and insulated, you can successfully live year-round, without water heating or gas.

At the same time, the entire system will consume energy of only 1.5 kW/h - a fantastic result! For example, for a properly insulated stone house with an area of 180 sq.m., energy costs for heating it will not exceed 10,500 kW/year, which in monetary terms will be only 2500-4000 rubles/month for its heating in winter period.

Interesting Facts: - For the first time, the theory of natural air movement in channels and pipes was created by M.V. Lomonosov; from the beginning of these studies, the era of ventilation began throughout the world. - The first ventilation systems were used on ships to dry out rooms. - The first prototypes of modern ventilation units was released by the Swedish company Kanalflekt, which in 1972 used electric motors with variable speed.

Energy prices are steadily rising, so an increasing number of suburban residents are thinking about how to inexpensively and efficiently heat their homes. Most often, homeowners are concerned about heating options for a private home and country house, which boiler has the highest efficiency, which boiler to choose for the heating system, how to properly install the heating system, what types of heating exist without gas and which of them are the most economical.

FORUMHOUSE advises a different approach. First, we decide on the type of fuel, and then we select a heating system “for it.”

From our material you will learn:

What are the costs of a heating system?
What type of fuel can be called the most affordable;
What does a convenient heating system mean?
Can heating with electricity be cheap?
What can become the basis of an economical heating system.

What are the costs of a heating system?

Many factors influence how much a particular heating method will cost. Only after calculating all the costs (it is also necessary to take into account the increase in fuel prices in long term), you can decide on the most cost-effective heating method. To do this, you need to consider:

Fuel cost;
The cost of its delivery;
Cost of heating equipment;
The cost of its installation;
Costs of its operation;

Average monthly air temperature in winter;
Method of living in the house: “dacha” mode or permanent residence;
Availability of utilities connected to the site (gas, necessary electric power);
The degree of insulation and energy efficiency of the home.

Thinking about choosing a heating system and considering different variants heating in the house, first of all you need to answer the question: not “how”, but “with what” you will heat your home. It is the type of fuel, its cost and availability that determines the costs of the heating season.

Let's consider the following situation: main gas, as a more economically advantageous type of fuel, this moment no, or connecting it will be too expensive. What to do in this situation, what type of fuel to choose: firewood, liquefied gas, coal, pellets, fuel briquettes, electricity, even - there are a lot of options. Let's see which type of energy carrier is most preferable.

Conclusions:

It would be correct to choose a heating system after proper calculation. This is the only way to achieve a balance between efficiency, economy and convenience;
Vacation home it is necessary to insulate well, reduce all heat losses to a minimum, otherwise the lion's share of the energy will go to heating the “street”;
Approximately, the required power of heating equipment is calculated using the formula: 1 kW of energy is required to heat 10 sq.m of house area;
The efficiency of a heating system largely depends on the availability of a particular type of fuel;
To obtain maximum effect, you must combine different types heating systems and energy carriers. It cannot be said that if these conditions are met, we will get heating cheaper than gas, but we will be able to save significantly.
