Installation of electric heating for a private house

Currently, electric heating is a good alternative to providing comfortable living conditions in the house in the event that it is not possible to use other heat sources.

Despite the fact that the cost of using electricity per month in this case will be a decent amount, still the heat in the house, especially in the winter period is a fundamental factor.

Electric heating is almost the only alternative for a holiday home, especially when it is visited all year round.

In this case, it is possible to provide heat in the internal space if convectors are installed, or similar appliances.

In any case, the electric heating of a private house implies several different options.

You can choose an economical solution and install the corresponding boiler yourself, or you can approach the problem solution in a complex way and simultaneously connect several different devices.

In order to find the right boiler and other equipment, it is necessary to make the appropriate calculation with your own hands.

This will help to understand which equipment is better and more efficient in operating its performance indicators.

In addition, there are certain energy-saving schemes that make it possible to use electric heating more qualitatively.

Advantages and disadvantages of electrical heating

Of course, the gas heating equipment in terms of its parameters, including power, exceeds the electric, However, it is not always possible to install gas.

The main and main disadvantage of heating from electricity is the high cost of electricity itself per month.

It is not as economical as gas, however, it allows you to create a comfortable temperature in the house.

In addition, there is a certain energy-saving scheme, according to which it is possible to make all necessary connections and thereby reduce the cost of consumed electricity per month.

In some individual cases, gas equipment can be replaced with solid fuel or diesel, however, in terms of power and many other parameters, it is electric heating that is most effective.

Installation of such equipment is carried out by oneself fast enough, at the preliminary stage it is recommended to carry out the corresponding calculation of capacity and some other parameters.

Almost all devices that are used in the electric heating system operate from special heaters, and any calculation will show that their efficiency and power ratings are much higher than that of any other devices.

To connect an electric type boiler, you can use networks with different parameters, but it is better if it is three-phase.

To reduce the cost of electricity per month with the use of electric heating can be due to a change in the power of the boiler and this energy-saving technology is now installed in virtually all relevant devices.

It should also be noted that electrical heating systems provide for the installation of such devices that are practically noisy and do not emit any combustion products.

Installation, installation, as well as various connections, such as a boiler, and many other devices that are part of the electrical heating system at home, can be done by themselves.

Despite numerous positive responses about the electric heating of the country or country house, as well as a large number of advantages of the equipment, there are still a number of shortcomings.

It often happens that electrical networks simply can not stand the connection of an electric boiler due to its high power.

This is especially important for a holiday home, when it is not possible to connect the boiler to a three-phase network.

Installation of such a boiler will require serious energy costs and this is one of the main disadvantages that makes for many people the electric heating of a private house is simply impossible.

In any case, before making a decision, you should carefully study the connection diagrams and calculate the power of the necessary equipment.

In some cases, it is possible to replace the boiler with convectors that consume less energy, which is especially important for a holiday home.

Options for heating the house with electricity

To date, various types of heating systems have been developed for a private house from electricity.

The simplest and optimal scheme involves the installation of convectors, which may well replace gas heating.

Convectors, of course, will not be able to fully replace the boiler, however, if the calculation is correct, on the basis of which it will be possible to choose the location of their installation, as well as the quantity and type, a comfortable temperature regime can be created in the house.

To date, dry and liquid convectors are used, which have some differences among themselves.

Dry type convectors in their characteristics refer to devices that directly convert the energy of electricity into heat.

At present, numerous reviews confirm their high efficiency.

Convectors are compact in size and attractive appearance, in addition, their installation can be handled without any problems.

Perhaps, convectors are the most versatile device that allows you to make a scheme of electric heating in a short time.

In turn, liquid-type convectors are electrical heating devices that are specially filled with water or antifreeze.

There are different types of these devices, and which one to choose the best, is difficult to determine.

Liquid convectors are movable, floor, as well as wall-mounted, which implies their installation.

Almost all convectors are characterized by high inertia, which means that the devices warm up the internal space of the house quite quickly.

Their installation does not take much time, and besides this, it can be done by yourself. It should be noted that it is quite easy to make an appropriate electric network for them.

Before determining the number of devices, as well as their power, it is recommended to calculate and choose the most suitable place where it will be possible to install electrical heating of this type.

The electric heating scheme for a private house can also include the installation of portable appliances, such as, for example, oil radiators, fan heaters, and infrared heaters.

Of course, in this case the boiler looks more like a heating device, but not always it can be done and in some cases it is better to install portable devices.

In this case, the most optimal solution will be to install the devices separately in each room, though before that it is recommended to make a calculation on the basis of which to choose this or that device.

Oil-type heaters are distinguished for their high safety and efficiency, however, it is better to use them as an additional heating medium.

In turn, infrared devices require a separate connection scheme, since they consume a large amount of power.

The best solution is to equip an electric type heating in the house - it is to install a boiler with a water coolant.

This is said and many reviews, in addition, you can see this if you watch the video, which is located below.

Water heating from electricity

Among all the existing types of electric heating, the best quality will be considered the installation of the boiler.

The main advantage in this case is that the boiler will make it possible not to connect different heaters in each room separately, which means that overall safety will also increase.

At present, it is possible to purchase TEN, electrode, as well as induction boilers, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.

In order to make the water heating in the house directly from the electric boiler, it is necessary to start the calculation first, then determine the place where the equipment will be installed, and also consider the future layout of the pipes and the location of the radiators.

It should be noted that if the rooms already have a water distribution, the task is much simpler, since in this case it will only be necessary to include the boiler in it.

The water heating system directly from electricity, of course, has its own subtleties and nuances, however, subject to the rules and technology, it can be mounted by hand.

First, after the required calculation is carried out, the appropriate type of boiler should be selected, which will be used to heat the working fluid in the system itself.

The most important thing in this case is to purchase exactly that equipment, the capacity of which is enough for heating the entire interior space in the house.

Next, you need to select the pipes from which the system itself will be assembled.

For a private house, the best thing is to equip a closed system with forced circulation of the working fluid in it.

After this, it is necessary to install radiators in each room, and for these purposes it is best to use those devices, the body of which is made of either aluminum or steel.

In the event that the boiler is mounted in an existing system, it must necessarily be forced type, which will have to install an appropriate pump.

In some individual cases, the calculation may indicate that an additional circulating pump is required for the normal operation of the boiler.

In addition, you should think about the device in the electrical heating system of various additional protection sensors that will help prevent all sorts of extraordinary situations that can lead to the failure of all equipment.

More details on how in the house independently arrange water heating of electric type, is told on video in our article.

Additional electrical heating elements

As an additional source of heat in homes, warm floors that work from an electrical power source are increasingly being found in homes recently.

There are several different versions of the warm floor, but all of them are united by the fact that there must be a heating element connected to the power supply.

At present such floors can consist of a special heating cable, mats, as well as a thin film. Each of these floors has its own peculiarities and nuances when connected.

In any case, before the laying of warm floors, thermal insulation of the base is carried out, in addition, they are provided for their safe connection and the ability to regulate the temperature regime during operation.

When installing in a house of electric heating it is necessary to make sure that it is not only safe, but also as economical as possible.

In this case, it is better to use those devices that have a higher efficiency. It is also necessary to take into account other nuances, for example, the dimensions of the house itself, as well as the power of the devices.

It is also recommended for this type of heating to set the electricity billing meter, which will help to save a little money.
