You can warm up a country house by installing oven equipment, a gas system, or a simple electric heater in it. When choosing the right equipment, you need to take into account the costs that you are willing to incur to install the heating system, the area of ​​the country house, as well as the design of the future project.

Heating systems

Electric heaters are considered one of the simplest and most practical heating systems. But it should be taken into account that the power consumption when using it will be quite large. The following types of systems are usually used for heating:

  • fan heaters;
  • heat guns;
  • electric convectors;
  • oil heaters;
  • infrared heaters;
  • warm skirting boards;
  • infrared panels.

Since electrical systems significantly increase the load on the network, proper consideration must be given to protecting the wiring in the home.

Oil heaters are wall-mounted and floor-mounted. They operate with little or no noise and are relatively safe and affordable. Their only drawback is a rather long time required to warm up the room.

Infrared heaters are commonly used to heat floors, wall panels, and so on. However, it is worth remembering that the room is not completely heated, but only in places where infrared waves are directed. Experts recommend devices that are mounted to the ceiling. It is desirable that the device has tubular or carbon elements.

The optimal heating method is considered to be the installation of a warm baseboard. It has several advantages:

  • High speed of heating the room.
  • Drying of wall panels.
  • The formation of a heat shield.
  • Profitability.
  • Affordable cost.
  • Wide range of colors and designs.

Furnace heating

To warm up the room in winter, you cannot do without a stove heating system. This design is distinguished by its reliability, durability and ability to provide a sufficiently long heating period. If desired, the structure can be supplemented with a fireplace. The only drawback of stove heating is the purchase of fuel, as well as the arrangement and cleaning of the chimney. The furnace heating system is of the following types:

  • brick;
  • operating on solid fuel;
  • metal.

Before you start installing the stove, think over the design and arrange it in the form of a diagram.

To keep warm for a long time, the brick oven must be placed next to the load-bearing wall partition. It should also be remembered that to install the oven, the room must be on a solid foundation. Fuel for a brick kiln can be peat, wood, and coal.

The advantages of brick ovens are:

  • Availability of fuel purchase.
  • Environmental friendliness.
  • Freedom to design.
  • Durability.
  • Low construction cost.

Also, to warm up the room, long-burning furnaces are installed. The material for the manufacture of such a heating system is cast iron. The design advantages are as follows:

  • Duration of keeping warm in the house.
  • Roomy firebox.
  • Low fuel consumption.
  • Setting the appropriate mode.
  • It is not necessary to use liquid fuels.
Thus, taking into account all the features of room heating systems, you can easily select an option for yourself that will suit your desires and budget.
