How to install a central heating system? |
Posted: November 23, 2021 |
A central heating system is a reasonable and grounded choice for households but only if the design and installation of it are made by a certified NATE contractor. Professional installation of heating in Denver Colorado is one of the most popular services of the Best Heating Cooling & Air Company – we have warmed-up thousands of homes already and we won’t let you freeze as well! The design of a central heating systemA central heating system is convenient because it allows warming up several premises at a time using a sole heat generator – a furnace or boiler. The heat source is connected to the radiators through the piping with a circulating liquid heat carrier. According to the laws of thermodynamics, the heated environment pushes out the cold one and forwards it to the reservoir of the generator; the heat-carrying liquid can circulate both under gravity and with the help of a circulation pump. Actually, forced circulation is prevalent today – the application of a pump provides important constructive advantages:
To protect a pump and a furnace from electricity disruptions, reserve generators (small sources of electricity) are installed. Electronically commutated circulation pumps are the most productive and effective; they lower the energy consumption by 85% compared to more traditional models. Types of heating systems and heat generators Depending on the type of used heat carrier, there exist water-based, air-based, and steam-based heating systems, where the functions of a heat generator are most frequently executed by furnaces working on gas. An alternative for them is the solid fuel furnaces, which can use wood, pellets, or coal; sometimes, diesel. Combined furnaces are equipped with two burners for different types of energy carriers – when the stock of one fuel is over, the furnace automatically turns to the consumption of another type of fuel. Steam generators are broadly used in regions with harsh and long winters. They are also convenient to use for temperature zoning of the area. Resource-saving heat pumps are widespread in warmer climates, where a source of low-temperature heat from renewable sources is enough to heat up the premises, such as geothermal waters, ground heat, or solar light. Despite such advantages as being ecological and safe to exploit, electric furnaces and electric boilers are a rare choice as the main heat generators since heating the house with electricity solely costs not cheap. Nevertheless, electric heat generators are perfect to cope with the role of a reserve or additional source of heat in the combined systems of heating. Making the measurements for the design of the heating systemTo reach the maximal efficacy of the heating system, an engineer of the contractor shall select the optimal heat carrier and heat generator depending on the configuration and planning of the building, specificity of exploitation, and the available budget. The BHCAir Company finds elegant solutions to solve even unordinary issues. We can implement projects of any complexity “turnkey”, considering all the details of your task! Organizing the heating system in a house for a family begins with the project design. To do that, we measure the object and investigate the features of a microclimate in the premises to make sure to calculate the parameters as precisely as necessary and design the communications’ positions. You simply define the convenient time for a visit of our engineer to measure and then leave a request on the website of our company. Or contact us on the phone for a detailed consultation. Designing and installing the central heating in Denver, ColoradoA central heating system in a house for a family is designed based on the features of planning, places of rooms, windows, and interior design. To save useful space, all communications are made inside the walls. Most frequently, central heating systems are designed on the construction stage before the finishing of the interiors is made. Another option of organization of a central heating system is available: piping is laid throughout the premises after the finishing is done, and it’s connected to the installed heat generator. A central heating system can always be connected to the conditioning system; if that’s made, then heating pipes work as air ducts in the warm season of the year. Installing a heat generatorInstalling a heat generator is the first stage of installing the entire heating system. To get the optimal balance of the heat production and profitability of exploitation, it is important to correctly choose the type and efficiency of the furnace. A low-power item won’t heat up the entire premises as required. A too powerful model will over-consume the energy. Selecting a heat generator, a possibility to use utility rooms is considered. For instance, for solid fuel models, a separate boiler room is required, which would have a place for storing the solid fuel, and the place to arrange the exhaust outlet. To make it convenient to access the boiler or furnace, they are often positioned by the wall. Depending on the size of the heat producer and the available space, an option of conjunction with the carrying surface is chosen – to the floor or to the wall. Piping In order to install the piping, engineers use steel gas-, or liquid-electrically welded or seamless stain-resistant and heat-resistant pipes. The pipe diameter is calculated based on the system parameters and conditions. In gravitational systems, they use pipes of bigger diameter than forced circulation systems use. Before the piping is made, they mark the places where the heat radiators, elevators, and pumps will be installed; then, they plan the piping circuits. Also, premises are prepared for the installation:
The mounted piping is covered by the grill separator, through which the heated air gets to the premises. One heating contour takes 1-2 working days to fully assemble. The BHCAir Company provides the installation in the shortest possible manner to avoid inconveniences for the residents of a house. We use only highly durable materials and fastenings, which prolong the accident-free exploitation of systems, prevent heat leakages, and improve the energy efficiency of heating equipment. Connection of a furnaceTo install a furnace, people usually use a separate room on the underground floor. These premises have to have a usable connection to electricity and gas, as well as the drainage line for the condensed water. Before the system is commissioned, we make the test launch of the furnace and adjustment of its automatic control system. A weather-dependent management system contributes to the economy of energy resources and prolongs the service term of the equipment. After the installation is finished, our engineers will clean up and organize the garbage utilization. All the house owner has to do by the end of the works is to sign the commissioning act and enjoy warmth in their house! We provide a 100% warranty on all our heating systems. You can also receive free-of-charge consultations of an expert in the issues of safe exploitation and maintenance of heat generators. All solutions that we provide are reliable, safe, and designed to serve you well for the long term. Warm-up effectively and cheap with BHCAIR!
