Stove heating
Heating a frame house with a stove is also possible. This heating method is one of the most affordable. The presence of a stove implies a constant firebox inside the house. And this is additional dirt in winter.
The stove must be constantly cleaned, as it tends to clog. Plus, there is a high probability of a fire, especially in a frame house.
Many have understood the advantage of frame houses over stone and brick ones. The system of erecting walls (frames) during construction speaks about the preservation of heat in a frame house. The fact is that during construction, heat-insulating material is laid between the two wall sheathings. In the future, such a scheme creates convenience for owners in the winter. But given the temperatures of our regions, it makes sense to think about how to insulate the house more reliably.
Each private house, taking into account the climatic location, requires heating during the cold period. Frame houses are no exception, in which the heating system is mainly water. For heating equipment, boilers of various types are used: electric, gas, solid or liquid fuel. developed by the developer at the design stage of the structure.
For any type of heating system, the project lays a separate room - boiler room
. Equipment that generates heat carries the risks of emergency and force majeure situations, so access to such devices should be limited to children and untrained people. Usually in the assortment of heating systems there are many control tools that prevent fire or direct contact with current. But it's still better to be safe.
Boiler room and requirements for it
A separate room for the boiler is not yet a complete solution to the issue. Frame houses, as everyone knows, are built from walls that cannot withstand high temperatures. To install the boiler, it is necessary to make an additional laying of at least one brick in the room, and equip the boiler itself at a distance from the wall, taking into account the calculations. Residents of Western countries in the construction of houses install safer heating systems - air
. Thus, the heating of the frame house occurs due to the operation of the heater, into which cold air enters. Once in the heating unit, heated air comes out through the upper blinds. This type of heater consists of a diesel or gas heater, an air filtration system and a supply unit.
air heating
The process consists in the fact that cold air from the street, entering the heat exchanger, changes its temperature and, after filtering, enters the heat carriers - pipes or radiators. In turn, from them, warm air enters special grilles located at floor level. All components and components of this equipment are hidden in the underground. The safety of the heater lies in the fact that all contact points closed
, the heater works only 1-2 hours a day, taking into account the air temperature in the room. The only drawback is the high cost of such a device.
Underfloor heating for a frame house
Also, heating a frame house is possible by installing a system "warm floors
". Heating a frame house with floor heating is becoming more common. The reason lies in the savings in the purchase and installation of equipment and the large heat transfer coefficient from the floor. The layout of thin metal-plastic pipes in the room takes up little space, installation is allowed without prior cement screed.It is enough to lay any solid insulating building material on top of the structure of the underfloor heating system, and you can lay tiles, parquet or other flooring to your liking.
- the question is relevant. Insufficient thickness of walls and roofs on cold days takes away a lot of heat energy
Taking into account the installation of heating systems, it is important to insulate the house and install good windows
Electric heating for a frame house
Let's start with electricity. Let's immediately outline the pros and cons of this method:
- Quite a technological tool that produces excellent heat. Some models are able to "accelerate" up to 150-170 degrees Celsius
- Usually consists of several different elements that can be replaced in case of failure, without losing the overall contour
- Suitable for both small and large spaces
- High level of security. There are no obvious dangerous elements that can become a source of fire or smoke
- The main disadvantage is the cost. The price of such a device is quite high, but the electricity bill hits the budget even more. If you plan to connect to the public network, and not to your own generator, then it will be very difficult to plan a budget
The main element is a convector. Heating with convectors is an analogue of traditional "batteries", which are installed under the windows of the room. Voltage is applied to them, which heats the air. Warm streams go up, and cold streams are attracted from below. As a result - a good cycle and microclimate.
On modern models, it is possible to adjust the temperature. This gives you a reason to save money by reducing the temperature and consumption of food on warm days, which is sometimes so lacking in heating in apartments. In addition to convectors, a whole set of equipment can be used, including heating with an electric boiler.
Heating a frame house with gas
Gas boiler for heating
This is perhaps the most popular heating method among frame house owners. Especially if the house is intended for permanent residence.
To install a heating system in this way, you will need to install a gas boiler and related equipment, for all this you will need to allocate a special room.
A gas boiler is a reliable and inexpensive source of heat for a country house, the cost of gas itself is also low.
However, there are some nuances here. Very often, plots for cottage and summer cottage construction are located far from the main gas pipelines. To stretch a pipe to the village in such cases is either impossible in principle, or very expensive. In addition, you will need to issue permits. It can be said that gas heating in the absence of a main gas pipeline originally connected to the village is the most expensive way to heat a country house.
Furnace and solid fuel
The stove is a traditional part of the Russian house. It is located in its place, on a prepared foundation. Gives its own warmth. But many models allow you to install a water-heating tank behind it, from which water will flow through pipes, according to the contour. Hot water becomes part of home heating.
A solid fuel boiler can also be installed. This is a special stove that burns wood and coal inside and heats the water that is given off through the pipes. The rest of the principle is the same. The boiler is usually placed in a separate room, say, in the basement. It must be periodically refueled with wood and coal.
This method is considered almost the main one in areas where it is not possible to connect the gas main. In terms of cost, it is also one of the cheapest, yielding to the same gas. It gives a number of additional functions, including the ability to heat the bath, as well as cook food on fire, if we are talking about stoves.
Furnaces for heating a frame house
The furnace method of heating has many advantages: ease of maintenance, the possibility of using different types of fuel, etc.
The design of modern furnaces allows you to regulate the combustion process and optimally store and use the heat generated by the fuel.
The oven can be hermetically sealed, and properly positioned dampers allow fine adjustment of the air supply and exhaust.
At any outside temperature, the stove is able to provide heat to the entire room.
Modern wood or charcoal stove can be up to 60% efficient.
In a frame house, you can use: heating stoves, heating and cooking stoves, household stoves and fireplace stoves.
Alternative energy sources
The industry has been offering alternative sources of electricity for a long time. Some of them are common, others are known, but require conditions, the lack of which will affect the feasibility of the acquisition. More about them.
A system assembled in series allows you to directly receive free current, sufficient to heat the premises, but the use of household appliances is excluded, since the efficiency of solar panels is only 25%. It is good to use them in conjunction with another source, if the owner urgently needs the life to be well established. The operation of the system is available only under the following conditions:
- The area should be distinguished by sunny days - at least 20 per month. Otherwise, there is no point in installing the system. She will simply have nothing to eat, and she will not be able to accumulate energy. Such systems are distributed mostly in the southern regions.
- The roof area must be at least 40 m². In addition, tall trees that can create shade should not be located nearby.
- The truss system must withstand the considerable weight of the totality of elements.
Installation is expensive, but by paying just once, owners can feel the advantage that electric heating of a house from sip panels has thanks to such an installation over other sources, already in the first year of operation. The costs are fully paid off in 5-6 years. The durability of the system allows you not to think about replacing for several decades. Only the master can mount the installation.
Frame features
Before considering options, it is necessary to identify the main features associated specifically with this type of structure. What is a framework? This is a house made according to the so-called Canadian technology. Popularity in the CIS is caused by several factors:
- Similar climatic conditions of Canada with Russia, Belarus and neighboring countries
- Low construction cost, which is more economical than traditional construction methods
- High speed. So, for example, good firms can build such a dwelling within a month.
- Quite a good set of walls and ceilings that retain heat indoors
- Technology combined with durability. The estimated life of such buildings can reach 100 years.
- The possibility of free planning, allowing owners to choose the number of rooms and their size at the design stage
It is the last factor that does not allow us to give any exact recipes for heating. After all, a different area requires a different approach to air heating. But the basic method remains the same. Let's move on to them.
