How to choose a heater for a summer residence?

When autumn comes, the owners of private country houses start to think about how to heat the rooms when the cold comes. Fortunately, the Russian market presents many products from different manufacturers. To purchase did not bring disappointment, you need to know certain criteria for choosing heaters for cottages.

How to choose a heating device? We pay attention to gas boilers

Heaters are divided into two categories - gas and electric. We'll talk about the latter a little later, but for now, let's consider the option of buying gas devices. This type of heater for dachas is by far the most productive and powerful in terms of space heating. These devices are able to quickly stabilize the temperature to a mark of 20-25 or more degrees Celsius. However, do not forget that such a heater for the dacha requires buying not only the installation pipes, but also the radiators, as well as many other devices. Judge for yourself - in order to lay gas heating in the house, you need to take care of buying a boiler, pipes, batteries, a circulation pump and settle all permits on paper. On all this you will need to spend 2-3 thousand dollars. And this despite the fact that the village is connected to a centralized gas supply system. If the house is away from such a "civilization", the laying will have to pay from 500,000 to 1.5 million rubles. Therefore, if you use a country house as a dacha (ie, go there only for weekends and holidays), choose catalytic heaters. This is an analogue of the gas, only it does not require the laying of pipes and connection to a centralized gas supply system. It has a separate propane cylinder, and heat dissipates through the house with a special blowing fan.

Oil heater for cottages

It is very in demand not only in private houses, but in multi-storey buildings. And all because of its mobility, compact size and the ability to work without prior agreement with ZhEKom and other authorities. However, experts do not recommend using it in very damp rooms, and it is impossible to cover it from above. In addition, a lot of Chinese counterfeits have appeared recently, so if you are targeting the purchase of such a product, ask the seller for a certificate and ask beforehand where this model is brought from and where it is manufactured.

Fan heater

Not the best heater for a summer residence. In addition to the fact that the heating of a small country house is spent up to an hour and a half of time, in an hour such a device absorbs several times more energy than any other heating mechanism.

Infrared devices

IR heaters for cottages - this is perhaps the most reasonable and cost-effective option. It is safe, compact, reliable, and in terms of price category is very affordable. Heating of the air in the room occurs in a matter of minutes, and the heat does not go away for several hours. Therefore, for the country there is nothing better than infrared heaters.
