Apartment heating (apartment heating). Individual heating system - the dream of millions

Instead of a preface

September was always the worst month for me, the nights were already getting cold, it was starting to rain, the temperature in the apartment fluctuated around 20 degrees, or even less, but the heating was always turned on in early October. Until they had to hold out. How?

I took out my faithful home “fur coat” from the closet - a bathrobe, put on woolen socks and bought packs of green tea. All this arsenal helped to somehow warm up until October. Especially this article will be appreciated by hypotensive patients, and in general by people with problematic vessels, who even in the heat have cold feet and hands.

A few years ago I decided to improve my living conditions and bought an apartment in a new building. But I became the owner of not a simple apartment, but with individual heating, or in a simple way - with a boiler.

Today there are more and more such projects. Not only townhouses are equipped with boilers, but also ordinary low- and mid-rise apartment buildings. In my house, by the way, 9 floors. In Moscow, all new buildings with central heating, but in New Moscow and, especially in the Moscow region, there are projects with individual heating: LCD "May", LCD "Pavlovsky Quarter" (OPIN), LCD "ZaMitino", LCD "Novogorsk Park", etc. .

So, if you live in an apartment with central heating, but are looking for an apartment (or townhouse) with a boiler, you need to know a few things about it. I will say right away that in this text there will be no praises for the boiler, because this type of heating is not suitable for everyone. But, if it does, then it will be impossible to get away from the boiler.

Advantages of an apartment with a boiler

I have a German Buderus boiler installed in my apartment. There are other common brands: Viessmann, Baxi, Bosch, Vaillant, Navien. There are also domestic brands- Rostovgazapparat, Lemax, ATON. As the owner of an apartment with a boiler, I now “sit” on several specialized forums where we all share useful information, pros and cons.

First, about the good, about the benefits. I have only 3 meters in my apartment: for cold water, for gas and for electricity. All. I don't pay for central heating or hot water. That is why I am not afraid of planned and emergency shutdowns hot water. Operation "basin" is a thing of the past.

I am no longer afraid of September, when the apartment becomes uncomfortable, cold and I have to walk in three pants, socks and a bathrobe to stop chattering my teeth. I can set the thermostat to the temperature I want, whenever I want, and heat the apartment. When the thermostat fixes the set temperature, the boiler turns off by itself. And it turns on again when the thermostat "understands" that the apartment has cooled down.

But the main advantage of the boiler is, of course, savings. In the very first month after the move, I could not believe my eyes when I calculated how much gas I spent - I had to pay 400 rubles for April. This, along with heating water and taking into account cooking (and I often use an oven, which is also gas). AT old apartment(normal panel house) in winter I had to pay 2500-2800 only for central heating. Yes, the batteries were hot, and the apartment was always around 27-28 degrees (the guests said “well, you have Africa!”), But isn’t it preferable to make 25 degrees and pay less?

Isn't it great that the batteries can be turned off when it's a warm day? In a word, in new apartment 70 sq. meters, I pay 350-400 rubles for gas per month in the spring, while in the former apartment of 50 square meters. meters almost 3 thousand rubles. Of course, even a cold spring is not a winter with 30-degree frosts, so I “tortured” the craftsmen who did the repairs for me - did they freeze in this harsh winter? Was the boiler working well? According to reviews, it was normal, they worked in T-shirts, no one died.

A big plus of apartments with boilers is that according to the project, the owner of the apartment can make himself not an electric, but a water floor. The heat-insulated floor is as batteries only horizontal. My friends who live in the townhouse did just that. According to them, the air in the premises warms up so quickly that a warm floor can easily replace batteries. I can only dream about it, because. i got an apartment with a screed, in which pipes were already laid (beam wiring), but, for example, the central part of the hallway turned out to be with this very warm floor, because. there are pipes to the radiators in the nursery and to the heated towel rail in the bathroom.

Consumption cold water, of course, it turns out more, but not by much. If in my previous apartment it took me 3-4 cubic meters of cold water and 2-3 hot ones (for two), then in this apartment I get 8-9 cubic meters of cold water per month.

Speaking of cold water. Recently a cold water pipe burst a block away. And that's all - there was no water in the taps, and the repair of the pipe took almost 6 hours (well, the day turned out to be warm). But this problem is also true for houses with central heating, where, when repairing pipes in the yards, absolutely everything is blocked: both water in taps and batteries.

A big plus: heating in an apartment with a boiler does not depend on accidents - the water in the system (in batteries) is hermetic (watch the pressure in the system - it should ideally be 1.5 bar), so even if a pipe breaks in the yard - you have apartment, the water will spin in the batteries, passing through the boiler and heating up there, i.e. the apartment will be warm whenever you want.

But, yes, here I smoothly move on to the minuses of individual heating. Minus the second - if you live in an old area, there is a high probability that communications are outdated, which means that electricity can “jump”, unfortunately, boilers are dependent on power surges. Therefore, you will have to buy and additionally install a voltage stabilizer (in Leroy Merlin from 5 thousand rubles).

As for the fears that the boilers “eat” a lot of electricity, then you should not be afraid, on average, the boiler consumes 120 watts, i.e. like one light bulb (“washer” or slow cooker eat much more). But as for hard water, then you should be wary. Advertising pro washing machines, where a heating element, which can become scaled and fail - is also relevant for boilers.

Craftsmen write amazing stories on the forums about how to clean the heating element of the boiler citric acid and other sentimental posts on how to get rid of scale. I do not advise you to engage in "self-treatment", I entered into an agreement with a service company (accredited at Gazprom), whose employees come and service the boiler once a year. It includes descaling, dust removal and diagnostics of "electronics". The issue price is 2-2.5 thousand rubles. There are many companies that service gas equipment, you can find it cheaper.

You can also just install a filter and change it after a while - depending on how hard the water is in your area. Our developer did it easier - he installed a water treatment plant for all 200 apartments under the house. As soon as the house was 60-70% occupied, it was launched. But, as you understand, maintenance once a year does not cancel this. Dust, which accumulates a lot during repairs in the boiler, is just as harmful to it as scale on the heating element (tubular electric heater).

Some brands of boilers can work quite noisily - this is another minus. For example, my Buderus works quietly, but my acquaintances have a Baxi boiler, and although they have already got used to it for 3 years of living with it, they do not deny that the boiler makes noise from time to time (when you have to heat both water and batteries, i.e. work at full capacity). When I asked them - how noisy is the boiler? They answered that it was a little stronger than a refrigerator. So a small 1-room apartment with a boiler for an elderly person, especially if he is sensitive to noise, may not be the most good option for living.

Well, the last disadvantage of boilers is that it is difficult to “hide” it when buying a kitchen. This, in my opinion, is both fair and wrong. In the process of selecting a kitchen set, I turned to 4 companies. Two of them drew me beautiful kitchens, but the functionality of the boiler was ignored. I mean that when a specialist from a service company or just a gasman comes to you with a routine check - he should easily gain access to the boiler. Therefore, various doors and cabinets must be opened or quickly removed so that a person does not have to diagnose the boiler in a half-bent form.

Keep in mind that gas workers can also be fined if you "brick up" the boiler, because "but it's so beautiful." Unfortunately, aesthetics take a backseat here. In addition, if due to a beautiful, but incorrect design, the boiler fails in winter, I'm afraid that beauty in a 20-degree frost will not warm you.

However, today the market for kitchen design is diverse, and hiding the boiler so that it is always accessible is easy enough. The cheapest and most minimalistic way, in my opinion, is an ordinary roller blind (pull the string, the boiler will open), however, there is a nuance: it is advisable not to install anything butt-to-butt to the boiler, and also not to attach at the top.

So, let's sum up.

Boiler advantages:

Hot water outages are not terrible;

You can turn on the batteries and heat the apartment at any time;

You can heat your home by setting an individual (convenient) temperature;

The ability to make a warm water floor;

Savings, significant monetary savings;

Now the cons:

Dependence of the boiler on power surges, due to which the electronics may fail and repairs will be required;

Water hardness can damage the heating element, and it will have to be changed;

Some brands of boilers are quite noisy;

- "hide" the boiler in kitchen set need to be easily accessible on demand.

Now a few numbers - we have the same text about personal experience. Now, in the spring, I spend no more than 10 cubic meters of gas per day (take at least the recently ended April), because. I heat the apartment before going to bed and in the morning, after I air it out. On warm days, when heating is not required at all, 1-2 cubic meters of gas per day are consumed. The price of one cubic meter of gas is 4.7 rubles - consider for yourself (in September 2018, a cubic meter of gas costs already 5.3 rubles - approx. Novostroy-M).

A cube of cold water costs a little more than 20 rubles, if it takes 8-10 cubic meters per month, then we get 200 rubles with kopecks. Boiler maintenance is carried out once a year and costs, as I wrote above, 2-2.5 thousand rubles, that is, as much as I paid per month for central heating.

Of course, in modern new buildings at the entrance to the apartment there are heat meters. However, here it’s like with ODN for electricity - no matter how much electricity is “burned”, the rest of the common house will be scattered over all the apartments, and you will have to pay. With the boiler, everything is strict - how much gas they used up, they paid for that much.

This text should not be taken as propaganda “buy apartments with individual heating!” Even I couldn't live in a small apartment with a noisy boiler. But the very fact that modern market new building offers an alternative to central heating - very pleased. Tomorrow, here again they promise no higher than +4 degrees, I'll go hug my boiler.

1. The cost per square meter is lower, since it does not require the supply of a heating main and a DHW line.
2. The tenant independently regulates the climate in the apartment, and does not wait for the start of the heating season (or in the spring of its end.
3. You can forget about the seasonal shutdown of hot water.
4. The communal service is cheaper (there is no payment for hot water and heat, of course, the consumption of cold water and gas increases, but the tariff for hot water and heat, in addition to the cost of the same cold water and gas, includes payment for heat losses on the highway, its repair, and payment in general other expenses of the supplier and intermediaries in the form of ZhEK).
5. Radiators and heating pipes in the apartment are always filled with water (there is no contact with air, as in centralized system almost 4-5 months a year the system is idle and safely oxidized), which reduces the corrosion rate inner surface elements of the heating system.
6. The AI ​​system is not subjected to regular annual “rape”, which we call pressure testing. Those. hydraulic shocks in the system are excluded, because it is completely insulated. All this increases the reliability and service life.
7. Systems autonomous heating completely eco-friendly. They use boilers with closed camera combustion, as a result of which it is possible to solve the problem of ventilation of the apartment. In this equipment, the combustion air is forcibly sucked in by means of a built-in fan from the outside. Combustion products go there. Since the boiler works intermittently, the products of combustion are easily dispersed in the air. In normal operation, equipment with a closed combustion chamber and forced draft emit about 80 -110 p.p.m. combustion products from carbon monoxide which fully complies with European standards.

Of the minuses:

1. In your house, in addition to the stove, another one appears gas appliance, which must be periodically serviced (only in licensed firms and preferably service center boiler manufacturer)
2. Any boiler equipment very sensitive to water hardness (the service life and the frequency of routine maintenance directly depend on this)
3. You have to come to terms with the fact that a boiler will live in your kitchen. Of course, compact and beautiful, but when planning kitchen space you will be limited by this circumstance.
4. In our country, coaxial emissions of combustion products through the facade are prohibited. apartment buildings, it follows that there is a need to equip a single chimney, and this is a rather expensive and lengthy process.
5. High danger of apartment heating systems. Indeed, in this case, in each room there is heating equipment that runs on gas, which, as you know, is an explosive fuel. However, this problem can be solved if boilers are used High Quality, endowed with ionization control of the presence of a flame, sensors for controlling draft and temperature, as well as automatically turning off gas valve when the fire goes out.

The issue of hardness can be solved by installing a softening system (by the way, in urban boiler houses, water is pre-softened).

The transition to apartment heating systems is increasingly typical for new buildings. However, even with centralized heating, new houses are also being built enough. This article is addressed to those who are now looking at new housing and are considering which option is better to stay.

What is this about

The main idea is clear: new house not connected to central heating. What is the result?

1. The developer thus saves on wiring and installation heating appliances; in addition, complex calculations and countless agreements with heat energy suppliers are not required.
2. The fact that they do not sell housing with an already concluded contract for the supply of thermal energy should also be beneficial for a potential buyer of an apartment. At a minimum, he himself can choose a heat source and temperature regime heating.

However: in practice, most of the new buildings are rented with pre-installed double-circuit gas boilers. It is clear that their price is included in the cost of housing.

Apartments with connected communications, but without a pre-installed heating system any type, however, can also be seen on sale. Let's look at both cases.

A gas boiler

It should be said right away: gas REALLY is the cheapest source of heat for heating. At least on this moment. Let's weigh the pros and cons of this scenario.

Advantages

Practice shows that the difference in payment between centralized heating and autonomous heating, using gas, ranges from 2 to 3 times with the same temperature regime.

Why is DH so expensive?

It is clear that the first, already almost unconditional reflex is to blame the greedy officials for everything. However, the tariffs for heat housing and communal services have, in addition to someone's evil will, and quite sound justification.

• Gas, which is used for the production of heat by boiler houses and thermal power plants, they pay at a higher rate than private individuals.
• Depreciation of equipment has not been canceled. Boilers need periodic repair and maintenance; in addition, the tariffs are forced to include the planned replacement of equipment.
• Annual repairs and planned replacement of heating mains also put a burden on your pocket.
• Your heating system needs to be serviced. This item of expenditure includes the planned replacement and repair of risers, the elimination of radiator leaks, the revision and replacement of valves in elevator node, checking and boring the nozzle, monitoring the temperature regime of the elevator and a hundred more various works which we often don't notice.
• Finally, all heat losses: on a heating main with torn off thermal insulation, in an open entrance, even in the CHP plant itself, you pay ... that's right, you too.

Another important advantage that an apartment heating system has is independence. It seems that anyone had to freeze at home waiting for the heating to start and suffer from stuffiness on a hot April day. implies that you provide at any time the temperature regime you need, in accordance with ONLY with your own comfort.

disadvantages

Of course, not without them.

• Using the removal of combustion products through a coaxial duct to the facade of the house means that it is better not to open the windows once again. The soot that is inevitable during the combustion of gas will get inside the premises.

However: in houses, the design of which was originally optimized for individual heating, there are often more complex scheme boiler operation: air is taken from the facade, and combustion products are discharged into the ventilation duct, throughput which allows all boilers in the riser to operate at full power at the same time.

The photo shows the new building. The façade has air intake ducts.

• Gas consumption in the corner and middle apartments of the house will vary. When central heating this, albeit somewhat comical, problem of social inequality is solved by the same amount of payment for heat.
• The greater the total amount gas equipment in the building, the greater the likelihood of a gas leak with the corresponding consequences. Yes, modern boilers much safer than gas stoves Soviet sample; however, in general, the gas is still explosive.

Apartment without heating equipment: solving the problem of heating

Well, what options are possible when buying an apartment without a pre-installed boiler? Are there heating schemes that are at least close to gas in terms of convenience and efficiency?

Actually, the choice is small. Most of heat sources in a city apartment is not applicable.

• Solid fuel boilers disappear not even because of the need for frequent maintenance, but because there is no place to store firewood and coal in the apartment.
• Solara is VERY loud burner noise and a capacity of at least a couple of cubes. And then, imagine the process of filling it in apartment building…
• Heating with electricity (more precisely, direct heating with its help) is very expensive. All energy-saving technologies (heat-insulated floors, infrared radiators, and even more so a variety of electric radiators and others like them) can, at best, reduce costs by a couple of tens of percent. The costs will still be 6-8 times higher than the cost of gas heating.

What remains? Actually, only heat pumps. And only two types - air-air and air-water.

Costs in budget option It is easy to estimate: for example, for two-room apartment with an area of ​​60 squares, two household heat pumps C [email protected] Nordic CH-S09FTXN worth 22,000 rubles each. This particular model was chosen not only for low price, but also for excellent energy efficiency in combination with a wide range of operating temperatures for heating (up to -25C).

Let's try to estimate the costs in this case. Do-it-yourself calculations are more than easy:

• According to SNiP, heating 10 m2 requires one kilowatt of thermal power.

Please note: new houses are being built with active use energy saving technologies, so in practice this value can be safely divided by two. However, we will proceed from the worst-case scenario.

• For an apartment of 60 M2, therefore, 6 kilowatts will be required. The rated power of one CH-S09FTXN is 3600 watts; however, the inverter control technology allows flexible power adjustment without stopping and restarting the compressor.
• The C.O.P. parameter, which means the ratio of effective thermal power and electric power, for our air conditioners is 4.2. In order to provide a rated power of 6 kW, they will have to continuously spend 6 / 4.2 = 1.43 kilowatts.

Let us dwell on this value: on the one hand, as practice shows, with a correctly calculated thermal power, the AVERAGE power consumption per heating season does not exceed half of the nominal, on the other hand, the efficiency of heat pumps depends on the outside temperature.

It is clear that at +15 and at -25 per kilowatt-hour taken from atmospheric air heat and electricity costs will be different.

• At the current cost of a kilowatt-hour, a day of heating will cost 1.43 kW * 4 r / kW / h * 24 hours = 137 rubles. The month is in 4110.

Is it a lot or a little?

On the one hand, the costs seem to be comparable to the costs of central heating. From other sides:

• In reality, in a house with an insulated facade, the costs will be MUCH less.
• The heating season starts when it suits you.
• It is worth considering the future prospects. It is not difficult to predict the exponential rise in fossil fuel prices in the coming years. But electricity prices will grow much more slowly: the energy industry of all countries is switching to renewable sources.

Which heating scheme is better to stop on is, of course, up to you to decide.

How to switch to autonomous heating

Is there an instruction for documentation transition to autonomous heating for houses with central heating?

Here is an example procedure.

1. The owner of the apartment specifies technical capability disconnecting the apartment from the central heating. You will either have to communicate with housing organization, or, which is more reasonable, directly with the heat supplier. Under the current communal legislation, the theoretical possibility of switching to individual heating provided.
2. Technical conditions for the installation of gas equipment are being prepared - consumption calculation, gas supply drawings, etc. Of course, if you switch to gas. When using electric heating of any type, your path lies to Energosbyt.
3. The act of fire supervision is being prepared. In city apartments, the walls are usually made of non-combustible material, so there should not be any obstacles.
4. If you plan to use a coaxial duct with an outlet to the facade of the building, you will need permission from the Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision.
5. Next, you need to contact a licensed installation company and prepare a package of documents: certificates for the equipment to be installed, installation instructions, a copy of the installers' license, and a service agreement.
6. After complete installation systems gas heating will have to invite a specialist gas service to connect and start the boiler for the first time. In the case of heat pumps, this, of course, is not necessary.
7. It remains to put the boiler on service maintenance and inform the gas service about the transition to autonomous heat supply.

However: under certain circumstances, the costs and terms of preparing documentation may turn out to be such that a reasonable question arises: is it not easier to exchange an apartment for a cottage?

Conclusion

You can learn a little more about how individual heating can be implemented in an apartment building from the video attached to the article.

One of the most significant criteria that today has a very big influence on the choice of housing, it is considered the presence in the house apartment system heating. According to sociologists, this indicator is in second place, bypassing in its importance even the layout, cost and materials used in construction.

Above this criterion, only the location of the house itself is considered in importance. This factor is explained, as a rule, by the fact that the consumption of water and heat per person in our country is three times higher than European standards. At the same time, central heating, unfortunately, is not able to create the proper level of comfort in the room. Of the most common problems, in this case, failures in the supply of heat should be singled out separately, as well as very low temperature for heating batteries.

Based on all these factors, most experts today began to conclude that best solution in such a situation, the use of apartment heating systems for heat supply of apartment buildings, which are characterized by higher efficiency and economic benefits, will become.

Apartment heating technology implies the creation in an apartment autonomous system heating. Such systems consist, as a rule, of a device that generates heat (heat generator), a pipeline that provides hot water supply, as well as heating pipes and heating radiators.

As is known, the system district heating and hot water supply, commonly used in our country, has several significant drawbacks. Its main disadvantage is that each individual consumer (apartment owner) not only sees no point in saving heat, but also does not have real opportunity. In addition, very large cash in this case, they disappear due to significant heat losses during the transportation of heated water from the boiler house to the consumer.

As for the apartment heating system, unlike centralized heating, it has a number of very important advantages. In this case, there is no need to install a rather expensive heating main, there are no heat losses during its transportation, and each apartment owner, when using such a system, gets an excellent opportunity to spend only the amount of heat that he specifically needs.

Thus, in the case of using such a heating system, the state will significantly save on the construction of new and reconstruction of old heating mains, and each apartment owner gets the opportunity to dispose of heat at his own discretion and not pay a fixed price charged monthly for heating. It is quite obvious that a homeowner is unlikely to start heating in warm weather, which often happens when district heating. However, heat in this situation can be supplied to the apartment not only in excess, for which, of course, the consumer will have to pay, but also quite often absent on frosty days. Such phenomena can occur for a variety of reasons, for example, when they decide to start the heating season much later than specific residents would like, or when emergency on the heating line.

The owner of an individual heating system, due to the use of a special programmer in it, which is easily connected to any modern boiler, has the ability to set the required temperature even at different time intervals. So, if desired, on the programmer, you can set a slight decrease in temperature for the night. Thanks to this function, in this case, everything will depend on the habits and desires of the owner of a particular apartment.

Others are also enough important indicator apartment heating system is a real financial incentive to save heat. After all, everyone, probably, is well aware that it will be much cheaper to implement good insulation apartments than to subsequently heat the street. When a person pays for the volume of gas actually used, which will depend directly on the quality of insulation, then this, of course, becomes an excellent financial incentive to save heat.

Every person wants to control his life, no matter what it concerns: family and business relations, timetables public transport, prices for gasoline and diesel fuel, tariffs for housing and communal services, etc. Everyone dreams of installing apartment heating in their home.

Most of the components of life are beyond the control of man, but with the development of civilization, devices appear with which you can begin to control the temperature in your apartment or private house.

With the development of the gas boiler, electrical equipment(air conditioners, boilers), residents of apartment buildings have the opportunity to install apartment heating, which leads to real savings money to pay for housing and communal services, and it becomes possible to maintain a comfortable temperature in the living room, when and what you want, and not wait for handouts from heating networks.

Apartment (autonomous) heating schemes

It makes no sense to consider the installation of heating boilers for solid and diesel fuels, since “amateurs” themselves will not want to lift a bundle of firewood or a bag of coal to the 9th floor. comfortable temperature”, and if they want, then the sanitary and epidemiological station will not give them this idea. There are two options left.

Heating system with condensate boiler and water heating.

Use of electrical equipment: electronic, induction. New water heating installations, infrared space heating, underfloor heating, use of oil radiators or split air conditioning systems. All electrical options applicable, but they have one significant disadvantage- high consumption of electricity, and as a result - material costs. Consider heating an apartment with solar panels there is no point, since it is possible, but only quite expensive.

The most common way to organize apartment heating is to install a gas double-circuit boiler.

Types of boilers used for heating

There are several types of such boilers: wall-mounted, floor-standing.

Wall-mounted boilers are designed for space heating up to 300 m2. The set includes one or two circulation pumps, two measuring devices (manometer and thermometer), security system.

Floor boilers have greater efficiency and power, but they are somewhat more expensive.

It looks like a wall-mounted boiler of the heating system.

Heat pumps air-air and air-water. This system by virtue of their design features applicable in private homes and on their own household plots. In her necessary condition is the presence of a legal piece of land on which installation work will be carried out on the installation of: mounting manifolds, air circuits, ground collectors, ground probes.

by the most effective way installation of heat pumps is drilling a well (ground probe). The well is drilled to a depth of 50-150 m, where the constant temperature is +10 degrees. For the production of such wells, it is necessary to draw up special documentation in all existing structures.

In the installation of soil collectors, drilling of wells is not provided, and everything is made simpler: they fit polyethylene pipes with non-freezing coolant to a depth of 2 meters and the pump pumps heat into the room. The main "headache" is the miscalculation of how to make heating so that the soil has time to warm up in the summer.

Of all existing methods installations of independent heating the most "calm" - the installation of split systems or the purchase of oil heaters. In both cases, it is necessary to document the disconnection from the central heating in the heating network and change the electrical wiring in the apartment. But before installing such heating, it is necessary to invite an intelligent energy specialist. This specialist will take measurements and calculate the expected loads in the house and apartment electrical wiring.

Scheme of a solar split system.

Good specialists know how to correctly and when to take measurements, as well as what calculations should be made in order to make such heating. And it may be that you "invest" in comfort, and the neighbors will sue you for depriving them of the opportunity to use electrical appliances. Before you do things, and even more so the installation of apartment heating, you always need to think things over well. First, before you make heating, you should calculate the cost of electricity and the expected temperature in the room. Everything must be taken into account: the location of the apartment (corner or in the middle), how the house is located (south and north side), thermal insulation of windows and walls, number of rooms and utility rooms. The power engineer will calculate all this. It is necessary that he paint everything in detail, since the numbers can show that "the game is not worth the candle." And if you take into account the hassle (even what!) With the documentation, then "damn it to hell."

Whether or not a permit is required

A huge disadvantage of installing apartment heating is the execution of permits. You can go through the "circles of hell" on your own, but this action will take away part of your health and life. If possible, hire specialists in the installation of gas equipment and indicate in the contract that they draw up permits.

Only those organizations that already have a "full path through the offices" agree to such terms of the contract. They know to whom and how much they need to “smile” so that permits are issued quickly. You do not want to start installation work in five years that way.

Solar collector for split system device.

For those who wish to independently weigh all the pros and cons of mandatory actions, here is an approximate scheme for making individual heating.

Go to the office of the company supplying heat to your home, stand in line, specify the technical possibility of disconnecting from central heating and write an application for disconnection. These actions are permitted by the current regulatory legal acts. Write all applications in 2 copies: give one to the organization, keep the second with the incoming number. If you write in one copy, then the "nimble" employees of the company may simply lose it. How can you prove that you wrote the application?

Go to a specialized store and choose gas or other equipment that will make your life comfortable. Do not be afraid to ask sellers questions and ask again if something is not understood.

Order in certified organization(she must have the right to provide this type of service) justification specifications for the installation of gas or other equipment that you looked after in the store. If you decide to install electrical equipment, then you need to go to Energosbyt. This is necessary for experts to calculate the possibilities of your and house electrical wiring.

Go to the firefighters and write a statement so that they come, inspect the apartment and the equipment installation plan and give a conclusion. When a coaxial duct is provided in the equipment installation scheme, it is necessary to visit the sanitary and epidemiological station and write a corresponding application.

With ready plan installation work go to specialized assembly organization and conclude a contract for the installation and maintenance of equipment.

After installation work, again go to the city gas service and call a specialist to start the boiler and check everything (draft, ventilation, etc.). The master can arrange everything on the spot, then you won’t have to go to the gas service office.

To those who have not changed their minds on their own to issue permits for such heating, one can wish peace and patience.
