Effective heating options in the country - an overview of all types , their pros and cons

Most of our summer residents can not boast that their sites have a full house.It mostly cottages - light, poorly insulated buildings, which are unlikely to fully meet the definition of "residential building".To do this, at least, to connect it to the relevant utilities.

And if you can still be satisfied with the fact that water and "convenience" in the street, the heating system in the country, taking into account the peculiarities of our climate, it is necessary.Many companies offer services (and the promise that it will cost inexpensive) installation complete and efficient heating system.But does it make sense in relation to the cottage?

First , with rare exceptions, the owner is working on the site only in the season, and resides in a nearby village.But any system is maintenance-free.For example, drain, serve circuit components, and so on.

Second , Whatever claimed in advertisements, "almost for free" to make it not work.Attachments will be quite noticeable to the family budget.

Third , even if for some action (we assume!), We will deliver it cheaply and connect the necessary equipment, how to save it all?After all, the majority of dacha is not protected, and in respect of any theft cottage - high-risk object (read about gsm alarm).

And then what?Consider the options with regard to what kind of fuel is used.This will focus only on those (and there are quite a few) that are suitable for a small country house and would not require significant financial costs.

Gas

Who are the "ordinary" Russians boasts gasified cottage?Yes, there are arrays, but they are not the "sheds" and full houses, and own them, those who are called «VIP-person."They are not experiencing financial difficulties, the question is "cheap and cheerful" not worth it.Only one thing - the gas cylinder.

If there own car, there is no problem finding a gas station - is a great option.Moreover, the boiler is not required.There are devices called "street heaters."They are attractive because they are not only suitable for heating a house, but also, for example, a barbecue area, sundeck, playground, even the beds or seedling.

Given their mobility (all models - handheld), this is the best, most versatile solution to the heating problems in the country.Those who are interested in this issue, be sure to read this article.

Electricity

Lack of electricity suburban areas are quite often.But at what time?Advantageously, with the onset of cold weather, when the wires are cut off in the wind or the weight of ice and repairers can not quickly arrive at the scene of the accident because of snow drifts.For the rest, with this we have everything in order - almost all suburban tracts "electrified".

But what equipment is best to use, given their huge range?

IR heaters

Probably, heating garden - the best option.

• can be installed anywhere (ceiling, wall), even under the lining.Given the tightness in the house, it is quite a significant advantage;
• various engineering solutions.For example, the film (PLEN) that can "hide", even under the wallpaper.The choice for every taste, so do not have to deal with "revolutionary" changes in any planning, any arrangement of furniture;
• in terms of consumption of electric / infrared devices energy - one of the most efficient heaters (all their pros and cons are described here).

Heaters oil

can safely apply for a "silver medal" in our ranking.The small size and weight allow them to be positioned as convenient to their owners.Warm up slowly, but when the "disperse" the heat even after shutdown hold long enough.In the winter it will not be difficult to load in the trunk and drive to the garage, so the issue of theft in the case of penetration of the thieves is not necessary.

heaters

Deservedly (to give) - 3rd position.Such a device can be transferred to an ordinary shopping bag as light weight.It warms quickly, efficiently, and drives the air throughout the room.The lack of one - it can not be used for a long time without a break on a trip.But for a small house of 10 - 15 minutes is enough to raise the temperature to the optimum.

All other types of heat generators for small country houses can hardly be used.Note some of the possible options and evaluate them from the point of view of expediency of application, given the major shortcomings.

Electrofireplaces (reflectors)

• heated rooms is limited, only about themselves.Consequently, the device will need a rather massive (and size, and weight).
• Strong drain room.Some people are quite painful suffer a sharp decline in humidity, and therefore not all are like heaters.

Furnaces

can run on both solid and liquid fuels.If there is electricity or gas, it is clear that the point in the installation of such heaters in the country do not.Pro version of the calculations of the furnace are not talking, as the cottages, as a rule, and have the foundation and its ceiling light type (read more about how to add up the oven).

• for furnace will need a lot of space.
• 'll have to think about the preparation and storage of stocks of fuel (firewood, briquettes, coal or container under the solarium).
• impressive dimensions.Therefore, to reinstall as simple as an oil cooler will not work.
• And most importantly, behind the stove have to constantly monitor.Is it convenient to run back and forth, if the owners are working on the site?Especially, if it runs on liquid fuel.Otherwise, instead of weeding the beds have to be engaged in extinguishing the fire.

The article described a vision of the problem of heating a country house on the basis of efficiency and effectiveness.But this is only the recommended options, as each site and buildings - their features.
