What heating system is better in a private home

Heating of a private house has many different options. You need to take into account all the characteristics of each type for correct selection and making the most profitable decisions.

Instruction

First you need to decide what type of fuel will be used in the operation of the heating system of a private house. It can be natural gas, electricity, coal, fuel briquettes or even wood. Probably, in Russia already there are few places, not have access to electricity and gas networks, so the heating furnace can not be considered as a relevant option. Currently mainly use two types of fuel - gas and electricity - and there are different ways of applying for home heating.

In the presence of the gas distribution network in the vicinity of the device housing the gas heating is still considered the most reliable and stable. Unlike electrical systems, the presence of a gas boiler in the house allows you to have constant heating of the room, not depending on possible power outages. A high heat transfer coefficient coupled with the relatively low cost of gas compared to other fuels allow this type of heating to lead by a wide margin.

Electric heating can be represented by different types of equipment. Electric boilers, convectors, fan heaters, oil heaters, infrared heaters all of these devices provide heat in private households, serving as a good alternative to gas heating. In this case, it is necessary to remember about considerable load on the electrical network, so the wiring in the house needs to be powerful and to be in good condition. The downside of electric heating system is the great energy consumption that will lead to significant costs.

In recent years, gaining a lot of popularity heating system called "warm floor". This option involves placing heating equipment in the lower area of the room, directly in the plane of the floor. Warm floors are water, electric and infrared. This type of heating is good because heat is distributed evenly throughout the room, lifting up. In a private house warm floor of the room is well protected from the cold, which comes from the earth. The most modern system of heating - geothermal, is still not popular among the population. This is due to the high cost of equipment (solar panels, wind turbines and other devices), which is used to obtain the energy of nature.
