GH-group has extensive experience in designing, installing, commissioning, and maintaining heating systems and equipment. Our company works on autonomous heating systems (country houses, cottages, industrial facilities) and central heating systems (apartments, office buildings, etc.).
The primary function of a heating network is to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the buildings it serves. Installation of heating systems is a complex and multi-stage task. Its successful solution must be based on professional design and knowledge of the work intricacies.
- Every heating system must include the following components:
- A heating source
- Construction for transportation of the coolant
- Circulation and expansion devices
- Automation and safety equipment
Before starting the installation of the heating system, it is mandatory to perform the calculation stage.
- Calculation of heating losses and equipment selection: Boiler, radiators, convectors, underfloor heating
- Hydraulic calculation. Its main goal is determining the minimum allowable pipe cross-section and selecting pumping equipment.
Installation works are completed in the following order:
- Boiler installation
- Connecting the chimney
- Placing additional equipment
- Installation of the heating network throughout the house
- After that, the connection to the external gas pipeline is made
- In the final stage, hydraulic tests are carried out.
Finally, we want to give some valuable recommendations.
Remember that tension fittings should not be laid on the floor or walls when installing piping systems. If this happens, a small free space must be left to accommodate the joints.
Radiators should be within 70% of the window width. Panel radiators can meet this condition. Changing the device’s thickness allows you to change its overall dimensions, making it easy to choose the best solution.
Smoke exhaust systems should not be installed in rooms where people stay longer. In the case of an external chimney, it should be noted that the distance from the vent to the windows of residential premises should be at least 800 mm.
Using a room thermostat with an on/off timer saves up to 40% of the energy used for heating.
There are still a lot of subtleties and nuances, so it is better to entrust the installation of heating systems to a proven contractor. The typical work cost is estimated at 30-40% of the price of equipment and materials.
The best option is to agree with a company that will perform all the work on a turnkey basis – develop a scheme or execute a project, assemble equipment, and install it. Practice shows that installing turnkey heating systems helps the customer save a lot of money. It is necessary to consider that a warranty covers all materials and works.
