Gas heating systems for residential buildings differ depending on the seasonality of residence, the number of floors and the material from which the structure was erected.
Pros and cons of gas heating
The main feature of gas heating of wooden houses is that people come here from time to time.
In the absence of the owners, the house and the heating system are cooled down. Having equipped the gas heating of a country house with a boiler, the owners will have to drain the system every time they leave the country house for a long time. It is not comfortable. Therefore, it is recommended to install gas convectors. The only drawback of gas heating of the cottage with convectors is the impossibility of heating the water.
Both natural gas and bottled gas can be used as fuel for gas heating of a wooden house. Cylinders are installed outside the house, under a shed, in a shed or in a specially equipped box.
Reviews:
Last year, gas cylinders were installed for heating a residential building. We are heated by a boiler and radiators. A programmer was connected to the boiler, so we set the temperature to +14 at night, and +22 degrees during the day and on weekends. We use up to 11 cylinders per month. We hope that in the next two years we will be connected to natural gas. We connected the system ourselves, using a video of gas heating at home as a guide.
Gas heating of a wooden house
Installation of gas heating of a cottage made of wood has its own characteristics. They are associated with the ability of wood, as a "living" material, to deform over time, to give sediment.
Therefore, when installing risers, so-called expansion joints are mounted. In some cases, the fasteners are used "sliding", for more details, see the video gas heating at home. The most difficult thing is to correctly mount the hidden ceiling floor sections of the route. For the rest, the gas heating scheme for a country house made of wood is no different from that for brick, stone or panel houses.
Reviews about gas heating at home:
- We live in a wooden house with a two-storey house equipped with gas heating 20 years ago. During this time, only the boiler was changed. We are very pleased that we can turn on our heating at any time. With central heating during the off-season, they were very cold and suffered from dampness. Having gas heating in a two-story house, we live in warmth and comfort at an affordable price;
- And I equipped myself with coal heating, because we live in a distant Siberian village and most likely they will never provide gas heating to our apartment building. A Dutch solid fuel boiler was installed in the basement of the house. We drown it once a day, for a day, if it is -40 outside, about 5 buckets of coal leave. And if it is warmer, then one and a half is enough. Thus, we come out in 5 tons of coal per winter. The boiler takes only an hour a week to clean it.
