Nowadays, people are very used to highlevel of comfort, so life in a country house in the absence of communication systems to the modern person is simply not possible. What communications should be present in a comfortable country house? Before construction, you should definitely consider such communications as: electricity supply, hot and cold water supply, sewage system, heating (if you are going to visit the house in winter) and ventilation.
If you don't think how to do all thesecommunication, the construction of your house may be delayed for a long time due to the constant need for redoing, which in turn will require new financial costs. The cost of the acquisition and installation of communications typically account for approximately 15-20% of the cost of building a house. For this reason, it is necessary at the stage of developing a plan for your future cottage to carefully consider the design of all communication systems, which will ensure you a long and proper work for a long period of time.
Electricity at home.
Lighting, the work of electrical appliances, without whichmodern man can not comfortably exist, all this is provided by electricity, so it is very important that the house had electricity. The electricity supply system includes:
• External connection to the electricity systemthrough the dashboard or counter. Connection can be of two types: working from a power station or a gas generator and working after connecting to poles standing on the street.
• Wiring of cables and nodal points inside the house, plus installation of light bulbs, sockets (places where wires are output), as well as connecting a 1000-kW DGU from ZAO Alternativa in case of a power outage.
Depending on what's in your cottagethere will be walls, the way of distributing of an electric network is chosen. If the house is frame, then the power supply is carried out inside the walls. In houses made of brick or concrete, it is “hidden” under a layer of plaster. In houses from blocks do shtroby. Wires can also be drawn from the outside of the walls, masking them with the help of a cable channel. Only after wiring the electrical network, you can plan the lighting.
Water supply.
There are three ways to conduct water supply.The first is the connection to the central water supply. The second is drilling a well. The third is to dig a well. If you want to connect to the central water supply, then first you need to get permission, and then you can start using it. Well or well is a little more difficult. You will also need permission first. However, you still need to install a pumping station and ensure its uninterrupted operation, which will require additional financial costs. Only then can the system be used. Water is conducted to the house using pipes made of metal (mainly copper) or pipes made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC). Plumbing is chosen based on your own desires, but it is better to choose plumbing of the same type and manufacturer.
Heating.
Heating systems are of different types - electric, air, water, stove heating.
Electric heating has only one minus. This disadvantage is its high cost.
Однако именно водяное отопление, используется most often to ensure the warmth of country houses. If you are going to use this method, you can save money by combining the heating system and water heating. In this case, you will use one boiler for these two purposes.
Another way is hidden floor orplinth distributing of heat pipes joining the battery through the collector. For such a system, polymer pipes are most often used, which are easily mounted and stand out for their strength. Such a system is gaining increasing popularity among owners of country cottages.
Sewage.
This system includes two parts -internal and external. Internal implies the flow of used water into the general sewer discharge, and the external output of all this to the centralized sewer or cesspool.
Ventilation.
The ventilation system can be of three types -active, passive and mixed. If the walls are made with materials that do not let the air through, and there are high-quality double-glazed windows on the windows, then the passive system will not work for you, therefore, ventilation devices are simply necessary in your home.
