Modern heating technologies offer many options for apartments and houses. They are able to work from different sources. In this regard, we can say that at the moment it is not difficult to arrange alternative heating. Difficulties can be with the selection of a truly effective system that can economically spend resources, giving maximum comfort.
Traditional heating does not contribute to uniform heating, leading to the fact that all the heat accumulates under the ceiling. And conventional radiators are powerless in the fight against condensate and excessive moisture. That is why alternative sources of heating are very relevant for the owners of both apartments and houses. There are a number of types of such devices: infrared and electric underfloor heating, as well as infrared heaters. Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of each. When choosing electric underfloor heating, you should be prepared for the fact thatsignificant financial investment is required. When installing them, you will need to open the existing coating, and after installation you need to be prepared to pay very significant heating bills.
Alternative heating such as IR film or infrared heater can be used. The first is usually placed under the top layer of flooring, which is significantly cheaper than electric heating.
The IR heater can be placed anywhere in the home that is convenient for users.
It is worth saying that modern systems based on the principle of using infrared rays are very efficient, but they consume a very large amount of electricity. Alternative heating in a private house can be provided by boilers. Modern equipment of this type is liquid fuel, electric, solid fuel, gas or combined.
In the event that the house is gasified, it is best to give preference to gas boilers that can provide not only the proper level of performance, but also savings. The liquid fuel option is a good alternative, it consumes fuel oil, diesel fuel, diesel, and the solid fuel option runs on wood or coal. The use of such options requires the owner to have a constant supply of fuel. Alternative heating, built on the basis of an electric boiler, is very efficient and environmentally friendly, but significant consumption volumes can be called as a disadvantageelectricity. Such equipment is quite powerful, but it must be connected to a three-phase network, which can be problematic.
Heating a residential building using a combined boiler is the most acceptable option, since such equipment is able to use electricity, gas and fuel. But it also has a drawback - it is necessary to allocate a special room for the boiler room, which will meet safety requirements.
As you can see, at the moment there are many options for providing home heating in alternative ways.
