When autumn comes, the owners of private country houses begin to think about how to heat rooms in the cold weather. Fortunately, there are many products from different manufacturers on the Russian market. In order for the purchase not to bring disappointments, you need to know certain criteria by which heaters are selected for a summer residence.
How to choose a heating device? We pay attention to gas boilers
Heaters are divided into two categories - gas and electric. We will talk about the latter a little later, but for now, let's consider the option of buying gas devices. This kind of heater for a summer residence is by far the most productive and powerful in terms of space heating. These devices are able to quickly stabilize the temperature to the level of 20-25 or more degrees Celsius. However, do not forget that such a heater for summer residence requires the purchase of not only mounting pipes, but also heating radiators, as well as many other devices. Judge for yourself - in order to lay gas heating in the house, you need to take care of buying a boiler, pipes, batteries, a circulation pump and arrange all paper permits. For all this you need to spend 2-3 thousand dollars. And this despite the fact that the village is connected to a centralized gas supply system. If the house is far from such a "civilization", for laying will have to pay from 500,000 to 1.5 million rubles. Therefore, if you use a country house really as a summer residence (that is, you go there only on weekends and vacations), choose catalytic heaters. This is an analogue of gas, only it does not require laying pipes and connecting to a centralized gas supply system. It has a separate propane tank, and the heat is dissipated around the house with a special blower fan.
Oil heater for a summer residence
It is very popular not only in private homes, but in multi-storey buildings. And all because of its mobility, compact size and the ability to work without prior agreement with the Housing Office and other authorities. However, experts do not recommend using it in very humid rooms, and you can’t cover it from above with anything. In addition, a lot of Chinese fakes have appeared recently, so if you are guided by the purchase of such a product, ask the seller for a certificate and ask in advance where this model was brought from and where it is made.
Fan heater
Not the best heater for a summer residence. In addition to the fact that it takes up to an hour and a half to heat a small country house, in an hour such a device absorbs several times more energy than any other heating mechanism.
Infrared devices
IR heaters for summer cottages - this is perhaps the most reasonable and cost-effective option. It is safe, compact, reliable, and in terms of price category is very affordable. Air heating in the room takes place in a matter of minutes, and the heat does not go away for several hours. Therefore, for giving there is nothing better than infrared heaters.
