Heating a family house

When winter comes calling, asking how you have ensured the heating of your house, then it is too late to make any fundamental changes and reconstruction of the heating system, which provides heating for your family house. Quality, economical and above all effective heating of your family house must be prepared in good time for winter. The basic task of the heating system is to cover the heat loss of the building and at the same time to provide a pleasant warmth to the living area. The “heart” of the house heating system of a family house is the heat source, usually a boiler. Heat produced in the source is either transferred with the aid of heat-carrying agents (media) and via the distribution mains, either to radiators, or directly to the area being heated.

Without the right radiators, it is not possible to save on heating of a family house

The path towards “minimisation” of energy consumption for heating a family house comes in many shapes and forms. Along with the current trend of insulating family houses, more efficient heating systems come high on the list. In the case of family houses, the decisive factor will always be how much heat it is possible to gain from this or that fuel. For example, in the case of a traditional boiler using brown coal, this will still be only 55 %, whereas a modern automatic boiler can reach 80 %. The difference in consumption of coal per year represents an average of two hundred EUR at current prices, which is not insignificant for decreasing costs for heat. However a condition for ensuring cheap heating is that modernisation of the heating system in the family house was performed in a complex manner and did not end in mere purchase of an improved boiler without the essential replacement of the related components such as radiators.
