In order for your home to be as comfortable as possible for living, you need to pay important attention to the choice of heating system. SIP construction technology makes it possible to build energy-saving houses that are able to maintain the given parameters in the house, which do not depend on external conditions. If you eliminate cold bridges by installing high-quality double-glazed windows and entrance doors, then a house with thin walls will be warm even in severe frosts, with little heating costs.
In modern construction, advanced technologies for heating are increasingly used, although traditional methods are also relevant. According to the types of heating, it is divided into:
- electrical;
- gas;
- water;
- air
The electric heating system can be regulated mechanically and with the help of the "smart home" program. The most popular of them are:
- warm floor - very common in modern houses, it can be electric or water in the form of polyethylene pipes, cables, mats and infrared film. Mounted under screed or finish coating. Manufacturers offer ready-made solutions for regulating temperature and energy consumption with software or mechanical control;
- convector heaters - quite popular for small houses, mostly mounted in the floor near windows and doors. It works according to the principle of a constant flow of warm air directed upwards, preventing the entry of cold air from the street;
- infrared radiation - has a wide range of applications. It can be installed on the floor, ceiling, walls or as a mobile electrical appliance.
Gas heating of houses is gradually losing its popularity. This is due to high costs for equipment, installation and permits. In addition, energy-efficient houses can be heated by alternative types of heating system, which is very profitable.
The water heating system involves the installation of a boiler with a heat exchanger that heats the liquid that is supplied to the system of pipes and batteries, which are capable of heating a large area of the house, are mounted on the walls of sip panels and easily withstand the load. Manufacturers offer different shapes and configurations to provide an aesthetic look.
Air heating makes it possible to achieve the maximum efficiency for heating. In this system, the heat carrier is heated air, which transfers energy potential from one medium to another.
Air heating is a combination of heat in a network of air ducts and air distribution devices. The heating source is a solid fuel heat generator. The air injected into the heat exchanger is heated and moves along the ducts, thereby heating the air in the room. Cooled air is returned to the heat generator through the grids in the floor or return air ducts.
Also, this type of heating can be arranged with the help of a fireplace, which must be planned at the stage of designing the house.
