Heating in a country house - there are many options, given modern capabilities. Let's take a look at the most popular options.
Country houses are still one of the most popular options for summer vacations. The construction of such a house does not often require any special design, most often country houses consist of only a few rooms. It is for this reason that it is very often difficult to find enough space to install a special heating system. Most summer residents live in such houses from mid-spring to mid-autumn, without visiting this place in the winter.
However, very often, even in winter, you want to go to the country house to be alone with nature. Then the question arises about heating the country house. There are many ways of such heating, we will consider the main ones in this article.
It is extremely rare in the dacha villages to have a gas pipeline. Therefore, it becomes impossible to heat the house on a budget. In this case, you can choose between solid fuel water heating or electric heating.
Heating the country house with electricity
In this case, you can give preference to electric heaters. This type of heating is very diverse: you can buy oil radiators, infrared heaters, and so-called convectors to heat your home.
Oil radiators are very similar to standard batteries, the advantage of this type of heating will be the ability to warm up a large area. But the power of infrared heaters will be sufficient only for a small area of premises, so you will hardly be able to heat the whole house, but a small house will be warmed up thoroughly. Convectors also cannot boast of high power, but they are very compact.
There is also such a heating method as an electric water heating boiler. In this system, the boiler is only a heat source. The boiler itself will heat the coolant and circulate through the radiators and pipes. This type of heating is quite difficult to create on your own, however, this method is very popular.
Heating a country house with fireplaces
A fireplace in the country is a good way of heating. Many owners of country houses just dream of a family evening by the fireplace. By the way, it is quite possible to design and lay a fireplace yourself. But at the same time, you have to carefully study everything and plan the entire course of work. Most often, fireplaces include a firebox, a portal and the chimney itself. The very principle of functioning of the fireplace is simple and straightforward: the fuel that was placed in the firebox, when burning, begins to give off heat to the room itself. All this allows the fireplace to start heating immediately after it has been switched on. However, the fireplace also has a very significant drawback: literally immediately after switching off, the fireplace begins to cool down. Therefore, in order for the room to always be warm, the fireplace will need uninterrupted operation.
To increase the thermal efficiency of the fireplace, it is recommended to make the side walls sloped, which will actively contribute to the reflection of heat. Fireplaces are of two types: with a closed or open firebox. The most economical option will be a closed firebox, thus, the room will be heated with the least amount of firewood, but this heating will stretch for a long time.
The fireplace will decorate your country house, serving as a great addition to your interior. It is for this reason that special attention should be paid to finishing work, as well as the purchase of additional accessories, such as, for example, tongs and a poker.
Solid fuel boilers are also quite popular for heating a country house. This boiler is incredibly easy to use and install, and is also very durable. In addition, solid fuels are always at hand. In the country, such a boiler can even be made combined, which means that it can be either solid fuel or electric. This option seems to be very convenient. It should be noted that some summer residents use stoves as a source of heating.
