Centralized heating systems of apartments are currently not satisfied with many, because they do not give the desired comfort. Residents freeze at the beginning of the cold period of the year, waiting for the beginning of the heating season. Then, when the batteries are hot, and it warmed on the street, people open the windows because they are tormented by stuffiness. A lot of effort goes to the fight against mold, condensate and dust that provoke radiators, and how much you have to pay for heating, you should not even mention.
The problem of central heating is that the batteries heat the space by convection, that is, heat the air, and it circulates the room. Warm dry masses concentrate under the ceiling, like a heat pillow, and the lower part of the room remains cool. If the heating power is insufficient, then the prerequisites are created for the appearance of fungus and mold, microbes and dust rise upward. Residents themselves cannot adjust the temperature and are completely dependent on the CHP. The traditional heating system is not effective, it can hardly be called healthy. Therefore, if there is an opportunity and allow finances, people set individual heating in the apartment.
Advantages
Having autonomous heating, the user can turn on and off it when he needs it. Owners of apartments can completely abandon the radiators involved in the general heating system, or use the “individual” only if necessary. This heating makes it possible to regulate the heating of the batteries in each room separately, create a wonderful microclimate in the apartment, do not depend on communal problems, and most importantly – do not overpay for heat.
However, the installation of individual heating will require walking in instances and many permits, but the final result justifies all such problems. In addition, you should definitely insulate the apartment, balconies, install good windows with double -glazed windows.
Another property of installing individual heating is its high cost: we need a project, pipes, boiler, new radiators and many accessories.
Transition to individual heating in the apartment
Individual heating is now very relevant, because it allows you to control utility costs and not freeze in winter.
Autonomous heating is modern equipment that works regardless of central heat supply. Thanks to technical progress, new items in the field of heating are constantly appearing on the market, because now there are quite a lot of varieties of such units. However, the most popular heating installations are boilers operating on gas and electricity. It should be borne in mind that both can be trusted only to specialists. Draws in the design and installation of heating devices will lead to great troubles, namely: the appearance of dampness, cold in the premises, breakdown of the units and generally incorrect operation of the entire system.
Types of heating
Individual heating in the apartment can be complex and simple, it all depends on the requirements that the owners of the future heating system present.
The very first step is the design of the system. In apartment buildings, everything is standard and therefore there is no particular fiction here, unlike a private house.
The most popular type of heating is gas, since blue fuel, today, is the cheapest. The best option for heating the home, according to experts, is a wall gas boiler with a closed combustion chamber. Such devices have an excellent, carefully designed chimney system – coaxial horizontal chimney, thanks to which smoke gases are removed to the street.
Gas equipment must be established legally, all documentation should be straightened, and work is entrusted to specialists who have admission. They will do everything extremely quickly, and the heating system can be used immediately.
Individual heating in the apartment using a gas boiler has many advantages: stably supports the set temperature in the room, despite the pressure of the gas; has a multi -level security system; does not take up much space, so come for small apartments; It works silently; does not require the installation of a separate chimney; The kit includes all the necessary equipment for the installation of the heating system; Acceptable cost.
A little less in demand in individual heating of the apartment electric installation. According to analysts, in the future this type of heating will be the most common. It is hygienic, silent, environmentally friendly, meets modern aesthetic and technical requirements.
The coolant is not required for electric heating, since the energy immediately goes into heat. This system is profitable, easily mounted, simply operated, takes up a little space, and sometimes generally invisible. An electric individual system can be used both the main and additional installation.
The electric heater is effective and economical. For each room, you can select the desired mode in separately. The installation of the boiler and pipes will not cost too expensive, in addition, it can be installed in an existing heating system, there is no reconstructing it. There are electric boilers wall and floor.
Features of installation
· Existing heating radiators and heating risers are cut and closed using a metal -plastic pipe. Removed radiators, if they are in good condition, do not need to be thrown away – they can be used for a new heating system;
· Holes in the reinforced concrete wall in which the pipes will be held are broken through a powerful professional perforator;
· If necessary, then they are reconstructed by internal gas wiring, as the project requires;
· Make installation of heating equipment and connect it to work.
