The house is then fully house when it is warm and cozy. When the yellow sun spots on the floor and the warm sides of the stove, the smell of birch wood and a quiet crackle in the furnace - this is true bliss.
Such a necessary oven
Weigh the pros and cons
About the pros we talked a bit.In addition to the emotional and sensual component described above, the advantages that, undoubtedly, the furnace heating of a private house has, can be attributed to independence from utilities with their seasonal heat distribution schedule to those in need and every possible heating network failure that could deprive your home of comfort for long days or even a week . The undoubted advantage of a rustic stove is also to create a healthy microclimate at home: villagers do not know what dry skin and brittle hair are in the autumn-winter-spring period, because good stove heating does not dry the air at home.
Some disadvantages
The stove involves several big worries andlabor costs. Melt it and keep the fire in it - not only fun, but also work. And by the way, your time too. In addition, maintaining it in order and in working condition will also require effort, time and money. First of all, it is a regular cleaning of the chimney, in some European countries recognized as such an important event that its regularity and obligation is enshrined in law, and careless and illegitimate owners are subject to administrative and even criminal liability.
With the stove will not be able to maintain in the housestable thermal conditions. As a rule, in the evening in the house will always be warmer than in the morning. Or vice versa, depending on what time you will heat it. In addition, the mandatory component, which is characterized by stove heating in a wooden house, is a cold floor. Of course, with the right approach, all these shortcomings can be eliminated.
Cleaning in a house with stove heating is known to be more than in a building with centralized heat supply.
The furnace is fire hazardous. However, electric heaters are not less dangerous. It all depends on the so-called human factor.
Do not forget that the oven isa rather bulky construction that “eats” a decent part of the usable floor space of your house. And if you are not ready to give extra meters, then it is worth thinking again whether you need stove heating.
It is time to determine the type of furnace
- The stove is a "stove".No matter how funny it sounds, this is a very common option for a country house. Especially if the latter is not intended for year-round living. It is quite capable of warming up a small living or utility room, warming up water and cooking simple food. And she is ready to do it without any special financial and labor costs on your part. In addition, stove heating through the stove, "stove" does not require a preliminary long design.
- Dutch oven.The most common type of heating furnace in our country. The design feature of the "Dutch" is that, with a relatively small size, it has a relatively large heating area. That is why it is able to heat up to sixty squares of a room. At the same time, the same design features allow the “Dutchwoman” to heat up rather quickly and cool for a long time. Well, one of the advantages of this furnace is its beautiful appearance. With the appropriate design of the oven "Dutch" can be a decoration for your home.
- Kitchen stove. Its purpose obviously differs from the functions of the above-described "relative".
- Russian stove. The most famous type of fairy tales.And the most versatile: it heats, boils, soars, bakes bread, a bed for warm and curative sleep warms. If you wish, you can even relax in it, they say. And all this is so in Russian, that is, without much hassle and all at once, simultaneously.
It's time to start the actual project.
Так, например, вышеуказанные санитарные нормы и The rules recommend installing stove heating in a wooden house only if the building is not higher than two floors in height, not counting the basement. Fire safety, according to these recommendations, is achieved by a number of activities, in particular, for example, the furnace surface should not be heated above one hundred twenty degrees.
It is important to accurately calculate the dimensions of the future furnace.
A small stove will be useless in terms ofheating, and too much will require appropriate fuel costs. It is necessary to take into account and carefully calculate the possible heat loss of your home, related to its design features, as well as the layout and functionality of the rooms. All this taken together is the scheme of furnace heating.
Strictly speaking, furnace projects start there,where are the projects of houses with stove heating, for the first is an integral component of the second. Based on this, the size, quantity and purpose of the heating circuits on each floor of your house are calculated. Before deciding what size your oven will be, it is necessary to calculate various kinds of energy-saving measures that you can carry out: insulation of windows and doors, ceilings, under-roof space, etc.
An important design stage of the furnace is the choice of its location.
A bit about fire safety
Кроме того, что печь должна быть грамотно designed, you must carefully monitor the quality of its laying. Unless you equip your own furnace heating, check each layer of brickwork for any cracks through which sparks or even flames can then escape. The second thing to follow is the presence of the so-called retreat - the air space between the stove and the wooden walls of the house. In addition, all measures should be taken to insulate the walls, floor and ceiling of the house from the heated surfaces of the furnace. Believe, your safety in this case is completely in your hands!
