Combined heating of the house

Combined heating is becoming more and more relevant every year. The thing is that gradually this or that fuel becomes more expensive or completely inaccessible to an ordinary consumer. In such situations, there is often no way to carry out full re -equipment of the heating system. Accordingly, it is necessary to take care of all conditions associated with combined heating in advance.

Such an installation is an equipment that combines 2 or more type of heating. First of all, traditional heating is used here, and only later all the conditions for the implementation of alternative solutions are created.

It should be noted right away that in modern conditions, if we are talking about heating of a private house, combined systems definitely make sense. Even in the most severe conditions in the dwelling will always be warm and comfortable. At the same time, it should be understood that combined systems are somewhat more expensive than classic.

Also, do not forget that now humanity is moving towards using various alternative solutions, and not only because it is the path of the future, but also for the reason that it is inexpensive and effective. However, you need to approach this issue wisely.

Features of the use of alternative heating

It just so happened that most apartments in Russia are heated by boiler rooms, which, in turn, function on gas. Accordingly, here we have a monopoly of the state, which often sets an overpriced price for this type of fuel.

It is much easier to dispose of resources yourself, using the maximum efficiency from a specific type of heating equipment.

It is also far from a secret that any private house needs high -quality heating, but far from everywhere there is the opportunity to use traditional types of heating. In any case, it is best to have various options at your disposal, so that even in the most severe conditions it would be possible to warm up the home.

It is definitely better if the heating system combines two completely different directions. For example, it can be gas and solid fuel (often we are talking about firewood). Obviously, the gas supply can suddenly stop, and firewood can always be chopped, especially if the private house is located next to the forest belt.

In addition, often, when combined heating is mentioned, attention is focused on the simultaneous operation of the entire system. Accordingly, this is very effective, especially if the dwelling has many large rooms.

The device of combined systems

Unlike classic boilers, combined heating systems have quite impressive dimensions. Accordingly, it is precisely they are advisable to use in large private houses. This equipment can be placed without problems within the basement, where various devices and mechanisms are often located.

Combined systems are equipped with several burners, as well as tuning cameras. Accordingly, to switch to an alternative type of heating, you just need to replace the burner. The process itself is very simple, but before any action you should contact the documentation.

Such systems most often work equally effectively on various types of fuel, while the installations interact well with two or more heating contours. By default, you need to use the type of heating that requires the least costs. However, do not forget about the wear of the equipment.

Varieties of heating systems

I must say that today there are a huge number of options for combined systems on sale. Many people, of course, do not immediately understand which variation of combined systems is most suitable for them. Of course, in this case, everything is based on specific conditions that are available in a dwelling or area.

For example, boilers that function on the basis of natural gas and diesel fuel are very popular. Even if there is no gas supply, which is the main heating resource, you can always go to the nearest refueling and get diesel. Moreover, in such a situation there is no need to carry out large -scale reconfigure, as is usually the case.

Also very often we are talking about combined systems that work on gas and solid fuel. It is worth saying that in the rural areas this is the most practical option, since firewood is always at hand, and if possible, you can use a gas pipeline.

In some systems for heating the premises, electricity can be used. This is also a good option, but only until there are no interruptions in the supply of energy resources.

Next, we will consider all the most popular heating systems that are actively used in private houses.

Gas -based heating systems and solid fuel

It is known that the GAZ-Drova system is the most inexpensive option for those who want to effectively heat the home. Despite the fact that warming the house with wood is quite difficult, often this is just a spare option. It is natural gas that is used as the main source of the system.

At the same time, it should be noted that wood may be a fairly inexpensive option for heating a large house. In addition to the fact that this resource can be obtained yourself if the dwelling is located near the forest, it can also be prepared and reliably stored near the house. In such a situation, we will always guarantee everything you need for heating the home.

It is also worth mentioning the negative side of using this type of heating. A boiler working on wood should function in an open system, and for gas heating this is far from the most practical and safe option. In any case, when setting up equipment, you need to do everything possible so that the systems work efficiently and as safely as possible.

Heating with gas and electricity

In this case, the system has all the necessary characteristics that will heat the room even in those unfavorable conditions when there is no access to one of the heat sources. Of course, there are such force majeure situations when there is no access to electricity or gas. If you are afraid of such situations that are quite realistic, you should pay attention to the past combined system.

It is such systems that have several outputs, which, in turn, allows you to connect several contours without any restrictions. Such an opportunity will definitely like those people who have a bathhouse, a pool in a private house, as well as some other objects that need to be heated.

Often on sale there are boilers that work perfectly in the CIS countries, while the equipment easily copes with frequent voltage drops.

Before purchasing, it is worth once again thinking that this combined system is far from the most practical, since in case of unforeseen situations, access to both electricity and gas can be abused. With this development of events, the system becomes useless.

Combining several heating systems

Definitely, in some cases it makes sense to use several heating systems at the same time. It should be noted that this is an excellent solution in cases where it is always necessary to maintain a high temperature indoors.

Thus, you can choose the most effective option and use it as the main one. If, for example, gas supply is suspended, access to several heating sources remains.

Systems of such scales are quite capable of effectively heat huge rooms, including providing warm water for the pool, as well as heating the floor.

However, it should be understood that in this case the equipment will occupy a fairly large space, and in small houses it is a very serious side of the issue. Also, the system itself, which includes several separate devices, will have a rather complex structure, so it will be incredibly difficult to understand all its features without specialists.

The remaining features of the use of combined heating

Despite the large amount of information related to combined heating systems, people often have questions. First of all, most problems are based on the effectiveness of the use of heating systems. Despite a large selection of available heat sources, it is necessary to make a choice in favor of the method that will function by default.

Thus, if the “firewood-electrical” system is used, for rapid heating it is necessary to use the wood. Later, when the temperature rose to the desired level, you can activate the heating based on electricity. As for savings, in this case it all depends on the specific equipment. However, it must always be remembered that wood heating is a laborious process, although quite inexpensive.

In country houses, it is most reasonable to make a choice in favor of the GAZ-Drevsin system. Today, gas is carried out almost everywhere, and in case of any problems you can always chop firewood and effectively continue heating. Thanks to current developments in the field of heating systems, wood will need very little. Of course, it is better to use gas as a basis, as this is actually effective and inexpensive. Also, do not forget that the simultaneous use of two systems will significantly increase the scale of heating.

It is also important to pay attention to the fact that the choice of a particular system should also be based on the area of \u200b\u200ba particular room. If we are talking about large stores or warehouses, then it is best to make a choice in favor of an electric boiler. At the same time, you can choose gas heating as an alternative option.

For heating small rooms, for example, private country houses, it is best to use solid fuel boilers. As an alternative, you can use electricity.

With round -the -clock heating, the most effective option is liquid -fuel boilers.

As for the use of dual-circuit boilers, these are truly unique installations, with which you can not only carry out heating, but also heating water. Also, double -circuit boilers are quite compact installations, so it is convenient to use them in small dwellings.

Prices for combined heating systems

It should be borne in mind that combined systems have a tremendous difference in the price issue. Many depends on the scale of use of the equipment, as well as the total capacity.

If based on prices that are presented on the Internet, then the cost of combined boilers starts at 14 thousand rubles. Often, boilers produced by domestic companies are represented in our market. Accordingly, in this case, the price does not much depend on the course of foreign currencies.

Double -circuit boilers are at least 2 times more expensive than ordinary options. On average, this equipment will cost customers 30 thousand rubles.

If we are talking about heating large rooms, then for such scale the installation can have too large price tags. For example, the cost of double -circuit combined boilers can reach a million rubles.

When buying, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer of the equipment. Newly -made companies very often produce poor -quality products, so a favorable price should not be misleading. Also, when buying, you need to consult with specialists who will take into account the specifics and scale of the premises, and provide you with the best option for the heating system.
