Proper installation by skilled workers will make the gas heating system durable and reliable. You can evaluate the efficiency yourself and even take a direct part in the rationalization of gas consumption.
Autonomous heating

You can use the system both for heating the pool and for supplying gas to the kitchen, provide heating for a private house and hot water.

Components of the gas heating system
- The boiler room is the "heart" of any heating system. Modern, high-tech boilers are able to calculate the required fuel consumption automatically, based on temperature, humidity and your preferences. The manufacturer guarantees high safety along with uninterrupted service for many years. This is all possible with basic safety rules.
- Heating system. It consists of an air part, water radiators and floors connected by a pipeline. Branching around your home can be done using plastic, metal-plastic or copper pipelines.

The latter is carried out using fittings and is more economical and practical.
Radiators
Heating a private house is primarily radiators. There are several types:
- cast iron (long outdated and rarely used);
-steel radiators (often used in low temperature systems and effective for auxiliary floor heating);
- aluminum. Used in high temperature heating systems. Due to their low weight, they are quite easy to handle and assemble and dismantle. It is not recommended to install an aluminum radiator on copper piping.
There are also bimetallic systems that are used in houses with several floors, as they have increased working pressure.
