We do heating in the house with our own hands - today it is not uncommon. To install the system, you just need to stock up on knowledge from the Internet and components available in any store.
Choosing a home heating scheme
The question of what kind of heating we do in the house is very important and fundamental, since each scheme has its pros and cons. A private house can be heated using the following types of heat carrier:
- water;
- steam;
- open fire;
- electricity;
- air.
Before doing heating in the house, you should decide what kind of coolant the house will be heated with. It is better to choose the system that is easiest to provide energy, more economical. Many experts recommend installing a backup one for the main heating system. For example, we make heating in a private house on water, installing the main system on water, and the additional one on wood and coal. In the event of a power outage, a solid fuel boiler will save.
Only a specialist can independently make the correct calculations of the heating system. Therefore, at this stage, you will have to order a project from a bureau or from a familiar private trader, who will also advise on how to make heating in the house. Then you can go to the store for the boiler and accessories.
DIY heating
The first stage is the installation of the boiler. If we make heating in a house using any type of boiler equipment, except for electric, it is necessary to organize a boiler room. This is a small basement room with ventilation. The walls and floor in the room must be fireproof.
A chimney is being installed. Next, a pump and a manifold are installed (if they are in the circuit), as well as all the necessary sensors.
The next stage is the laying of the heat pipe and the installation of the batteries, which is carried out last. For batteries, brackets are attached to the walls, certainly under the windows, since they are the main sources of cold in the room. The gap from the windowsill and the floor is 10 centimeters, from the wall 5 centimeters. Each battery is equipped with an air and water bleed valve, sometimes temperature sensors.
Pressing and starting heating
These final stages in the process do the heating in the house with our own hands. To start the boiler into operation, you need to call the wizard from the service center, otherwise the boiler warranty will not be open. Therefore, even if we make heating in a private house with our own hands, we cannot do without the help of specialists.
