Installation of a gas boiler in an apartment of an apartment building, installation rules

The constant rise in utility bills does not suit many owners of urban dwellings. At some point, some of them begin to think about creating individual heating in an apartment building. This process has many nuances that you should learn about before starting the procedure.

Pay only for yourself in an apartment building

general information

The creation of an individual heating system in an apartment assumes that the owner refuses to use traditional heat supply. During this work, pipes and radiators are dismantled, instead of them new batteries and lines are installed, connected to the heating installation.

Recently, electric boilers and gas-fired equipment have been increasingly used in apartments. Such devices function according to a simple principle: they increase the temperature of the water and ensure its constant circulation in the system, due to which the city apartment is heated. Gas models can be single or double circuit. The former are used exclusively for heating rooms, the latter additionally provide the apartment with hot water.

In this video, we will consider examples of heating in an apartment building:

Choosing a gas boiler

Before putting a boiler in an apartment, you need to make the best choice. Wall and floor boilers can be installed in a multi-storey building. Wall models are considered more aesthetic and convenient in terms of placement. Their dimensions are comparable to the dimensions of kitchen wall cabinets and therefore they fit well into the interior of the room.

It will be more difficult with the installation of floor units, since they cannot always be pushed close to the wall. This nuance depends on the location of the smoke exhaust pipe. If it is on top, then the device, if desired, is moved to the wall.

Boilers also come in single and double-circuit. The first of them work only for heat supply, and the second - for heating and water heating. When other equipment is used for DHW, then a single-circuit model will suffice.

If the water is heated by a gas boiler, then you will have to choose one of two methods: an indirect heating boiler or a flow coil. Both options have disadvantages. When a coil is used, which means that instantaneous heating is carried out, not all units are able to maintain the set temperature.

For this reason, special operating modes must be set in boilers, they are called differently in different devices. For example, in Navien models (read about Navien boiler malfunctions), Beretta is “hot water priority”, and in Ferrolli it is “comfort”.

The disadvantage of boiler heating is that gaseous fuel is consumed to maintain a stable water temperature in the tank. Besides, the reserve of heated water is limited. After its consumption, you have to wait until the new portion heats up.

The choice of the above methods is an individual matter, but you need to remember that with the flow-through version you will have to focus on the productivity of heating water per minute, and with a boiler room - on the volume of the tank.

Gas units differ in the type of burner used, which are:

single-position;
two-position;
modulated.

The cheapest are single-position ones, but at the same time they are the most uneconomical, since they always operate at full capacity. Slightly more economical are two-position ones, which are capable of operating at both 100% power and 50%.The best burners are considered modulating because they have many operating modes, which saves fuel. Their performance is automatically controlled.

The burner is located in a combustion chamber, which can be either open or closed. Oxygen for open chambers comes from the room, and combustion products are removed through an atmospheric chimney.

Closed chambers are equipped with a coaxial chimney structure, and oxygen for combustion enters them from the street. In this case, the combustion products are removed along the central contour of the chimney, and air enters through the outside.

Floor-standing units are equipped with an inflatable or atmospheric burner. When a floor-standing boiler is installed in an apartment building, it is allowed to use an atmospheric burner in the apartment. Most of these gas appliances have a closed combustion chamber, which means that they are equipped with a turbine and a coaxial chimney.

Varieties of devices

The variety of boilers for heating today is simply amazing. These units can be wall-mounted or floor-mounted. The first ones are the most in demand. Experts consider their main advantages to be compact size and attractive price. The floor-standing ones are also not devoid of advantages, which include high power and the ability to operate for a long time.

Along with devices that require “blue” fuel for operation, electric boilers are common. The main positive aspects when using them are affordable price and high level of security. The installation of such devices is permissible in absolutely any room in the apartment.

But if the house has old wiring, then the placement of such equipment will not be the best solution, since the risk of constant knocking out of traffic jams increases.

Having chosen a gas boiler as a device for an autonomous system, you need to prepare for big expenses. Installation of such devices is expensive. However, they delight the owner with a long service life and quickly pay off. The thing is that “blue” fuel is cheaper than electric energy.

When looking for suitable equipment, it is necessary to build on the size of the room and take into account a number of other conditions. Selection of installation for heating - a responsible task, so you should not be frivolous about buying such a device. It is important that the model has sufficient power to create a warm atmosphere in the home. When calculating this parameter, one should be guided by the following norm: 1 kW of heating boiler power creates a comfortable temperature for 10 m². To determine exactly what capacity of the installation will be the most suitable, you just need to divide the area of the apartment by 10.

Requirements for the room where the gas boiler is located

There are not so many suitable places for installing a gas boiler in an apartment. Most often, the unit is located in the kitchen, bathroom or hallway, since its installation in the living room or bedroom is prohibited. The room for the installation of the gas device must meet the following requirements:

the boiler room area must be at least 7.5 m²;
good ventilation;
the presence of an opening window with an area of at least 0.25 m²;
ceiling height from 2 m;
there should be nothing at a distance of 1 m in front of the boiler;
the walls are made of refractory material;
the door of the room should not be less than 0.8 m wide in width, and at the bottom should have a gap of 1-2 cm.

The gas meter is most conveniently installed in the kitchen.

Important! If you decide to install a gas boiler in the bathroom, you should pay attention to the fact that high humidity can negatively affect the metal parts of the unit.But with a good ventilation system and ventilation, the problem of corrosion is not terrible.

Reasons for the transition

Already today, it can be stated that individual heating in apartment buildings is popular. There are several reasons at once that explain this fact. The main ones are:

Lack of dependence on the air temperature outside. The owner does not need to wait until, according to the management company, it is cold enough outside to turn on the heating.
The ability to quickly create a comfortable microclimate. If the owner, being in the apartment, experiences discomfort due to the low temperature, then it is enough for him to turn on the heating system to make it warmer.
The ability to independently change the heating mode in the rooms. If the wiring of the networks in the house is installed incorrectly, then in winter the owner may feel severe cold. Even if you contact the management company, the problem cannot be solved. Just because of one person, the heating system of the whole house or the wiring at the entrance will not change.

When creating an autonomous heating system in an apartment, significant money is saved. The owner of the city dwelling pays only for the heat he received.

Stages of transition to individual heating

The constant struggle with the above problems forces you to take the first step towards installing an autonomous system. It makes sense to think in advance about how to make gas heating in your apartment in order to calculate the cost of purchasing equipment and get an idea of the upcoming front of work.

First, document the existence of real problems. To do this, you need to submit appropriate applications to your heat supplier and the sanitary and epidemiological station.

In most cases, heat supply organizations oppose autonomous heating. Some houses were billed directly for district heating. Disconnecting residents from the system leads to imbalance in the system

These preliminary steps will help to challenge in court a possible refusal to install individual heating. Questions of this nature are often resolved in court.

To facilitate the process and gain confidence in your rightness, you need to familiarize yourself with several regulatory documents.

For residents of the Russian Federation, this list includes:

Federal Law 190-FZ "On Heat Supply" dated 30.07.2010;
Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 307, which explains the rules and features of the provision of public services to residents;
Articles 25 and 26 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation: explaining the features of the reconstruction and redevelopment of the premises of apartment buildings and the grounds for their implementation.

Judicial practice shows that there are many precedents for the successful challenge of unfounded refusals.

Refusal from district heating

The text of Federal Law No. 190 indicates a list of sources of individual heating that are allowed to be installed in apartment buildings, as well as a list of devices prohibited for various reasons. Thus, the law does not prohibit the use of modern gas boilers that meet the requirements.

Many documents must be prepared to disconnect from the central system. Some owners are shocked by the time and amount required to implement their idea. While the fight will be difficult, autonomy is worth fighting for

According to article 26 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to collect a whole package of documents for the reconstruction of the living quarters. This includes:

A duly completed statement of the need for reorganization from the owner or responsible person;
Original technical passport for the apartment;
Copies and originals of notarized documents establishing the right to own and dispose of housing;
The original of the developed project for the reconstruction of a residential apartment;
Written consent of all family members and other residents registered in the premises;
Conclusion of the authorities involved in the protection of architectural monuments on the admissibility of the reorganization of the premises.

The district heating provider has been reviewing the application for some time. She issues a letter with permission to disconnect the apartment from the central system. This document will be required when ordering technical specifications for the installation of individual gas heating within an apartment building.

The handling of the order of technical specifications is submitted to the gas facility. The answer is usually given within ten days. A refusal can be obtained in cases when there is no gas in the region, it is impossible to purchase it in cylinders or regularly replenish the supply of blue fuel in the gas tank.

After registration of the refusal of utility services in the field of heating, old and ineffective systems should be dismantled. To do this, you need to have a project for disconnecting from central heating.

The basis for drawing up the project is a letter from the Association of Homeowners with permission to stop using the services of a heat supply organization. Be sure to get a written response and keep it. In case of refusal with this letter, you can go to court for appeal.

Having received the project documentation in your hands, you need to go with it to the district office of the All-Russian Voluntary Fire Society. After all the checks, a project fire safety act is issued there. If the need arises, they also make a project for the chimney.

Sometimes the city administration delays the approval procedure. In this case, it is necessary to write a statement addressed to the head of the administration in order to speed up the process. If after that you have not made progress, then consider going to court.

All documentation must be approved by the city administration. The conclusion on approval or refusal in it is accepted within forty-five calendar days from the date of its submission.

Refusal to reconstruct an apartment in an apartment building is issued on the basis of Article 27 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation in the event that the owner has not provided all the required documents. An unjustified refusal can be appealed in court.

Preparation of documentation and obtaining approval for the refusal of central heating. This is the initial preparatory step towards the legal transition to an individual gas heating system.

The list of required documents differs depending on the region and the specifics of the law. Comprehensive information can be obtained by consulting the administration of your city.

Gas boiler installation permit

For the successful arrangement of a gas boiler, a number of formalities must be observed. First of all, it is necessary to submit an application for the need to install an individual gas system in the city gas economy.

At the same time, you need to obtain a document confirming the health of the ventilation and chimney. He is requested from the fire department.

Each of the neighbors must give their written consent to your desire to establish an autonomous system. This measure is necessary due to the fact that when one or more apartments are disconnected from the central heating, some malfunctions in the operation of the heating system regarding the rest of the residents of the house are possible.

So, some apartments may begin to receive more heat, while others, on the contrary, less.

Installation of a gas boiler without approval, technical conditions and a project can lead to damage to equipment, physical injury and litigation. Treat all gas appliances in your home responsibly

This problem stems from the fact that most of the heating systems in apartment buildings are outdated many years ago and need constant maintenance.

Next, you should find out the head of pipes and batteries. If they are managed by a household, then it is necessary to obtain permission for dismantling from the neighbors. If they are subordinate to a state organization, then you need to write a statement to this company with a request to turn off the systems.

After receiving all the documents and permits, it is necessary to contact the city heating network and take there permission to draw up and approve the scheme of the future autonomous heating.

When the entire list of documents has been received and all the previous stages have been passed, you can proceed directly to dismantling the old communications. It usually takes three to six months to collect the required papers. Before submitting a boiler registration certificate to the gas organization, you should choose a model of equipment suitable for your apartment.

Boilers are single-circuit and double-circuit. Double-circuit gas units provide residents not only with heating, but also with an uninterrupted supply of hot water. This allows you to save gas and reduce the cost of paying for services. Modern oversized devices have closed combustion chambers.

Design and installation of an autonomous system

At this stage, the owner of the apartment, together with the designer, carry out the necessary calculations and decide which individual heating system will be in the room. Depending on this, a gas boiler suitable for power and characteristics is selected.

After installing a wall-mounted gas boiler, the heating medium heating circuit must be connected to the installed heating system. The operation of the boiler is controlled by the automation and the thermostat connected to it, the circulation pump built into the column is responsible for the movement of the coolant

According to the rules, the required power is 100 watts per square meter of area. This value is quite enough even for corner apartments that are connected by many common walls with neighbors, which guarantees no heat loss.

The wiring, that is, the scheme according to which all heating devices and connecting pipes are located, depends on the type of the selected boiler and the principle of movement of the coolant: natural or forced. The layout is chosen at the design stage. It can be one-pipe or two-pipe, horizontal or vertical, top or bottom.

In addition to the diagram of the new autonomous system, the content of the project should include a section containing data on the dismantling of the old heating system.It contains the details of disassembling and removing batteries and connections. It should be borne in mind that the risers going through the apartment cannot be dismantled and must be insulated.

Compare the pros and cons of an individual system before initiating a rejection of central heating and hot water. Only after making calculations, start collecting all the necessary documents

The individual heating scheme of your apartment must correspond to the possibility of installing radiators with thermostatic valves at the entrance. Conventional aluminum structures are suitable for this purpose.

If desired, the owner of an apartment on the ground floor has the opportunity to design a system of water underfloor heating simultaneously with autonomous heating. For owners of apartments located above, this option is not available, since the floors are not designed for the weight of the system with a coolant and a concrete screed.

If the construction of a water-based floor heating system is approved, even on the first floor, separate procedures are envisaged to strengthen the lower floor by installing additional supports in the basement.

Perhaps after designing it will turn out that it is necessary to install new radiators. Despite the high cost of modern radiators, their quality plays an important role in the transfer of heat into the room. Therefore, it is better to choose high-quality models.

If there is a periodic power outage in your house, then you should think about purchasing an uninterruptible power supply. Thanks to the BBP, your gas boiler will work without interruptions and continuously provide the apartment with heating and hot water.

Regulatory Requirements and Regulations

As part of the transition to an individual heating system in an apartment building, the law requires that a number of conditions be met.

The room in which the boiler will need to be installed must comply with the following parameters:

The area of the room is more than 4 square meters with a ceiling height of more than 2.5 meters;
The width of the front door is more than 80 centimeters;
The presence of a natural light source (window);
The distance between the gas boiler and other appliances working with fire is at least 30 centimeters;
The boiler should only be hung on a supporting wall;
The height of the boiler mounting from the floor should be no more than 150 centimeters.

If you carry out individual heating yourself, then you need to strictly follow the above rules. Firms carrying out installation work carry out the installation in accordance with all requirements. The gas boiler itself is connected to the system only by employees of the gas industry.

Advantages and disadvantages

To make it clear whether it makes sense to install autonomous heating in an apartment, you need to find out about its main pros and cons. Having received this information, the owner will be able to make the right decision. Among the main advantages of individual heating can be attributed:

Choice of radiators... For the device of an individual system, the owner can use absolutely any batteries, since there is no likelihood of a water hammer.
Hot water is available even in summer... In the hot season, utilities often carry out repairs and turn it off. If the apartment has autonomous heating, then the owner of the apartment will not experience any inconvenience even during the hot season.

It is interesting: what heating radiators are better to choose.

Listing the disadvantages of such systems, it is necessary to highlight the main one - the high cost of equipment.

Along with this, the installation of a new heating circuit requires certain expenses from the owner. Often, when creating an autonomous system, there is a need for an exhaust duct.

The device and principle of operation of the individual heating system

A standard autonomous heating system consists of a gas boiler, a chimney, the required amount of piping, radiators, valves, coarse filters. The main device in the autonomous heating system is the boiler. It can be single-circuit and double-circuit. The first type of boiler units is intended only for heating the heating medium. The second allows you to create, along with autonomous heating, an apartment's hot water supply system.

There are two main schemes of a heating system: one-pipe and two-pipe. The former is structurally simpler and requires fewer materials, which makes it attractive financially. But such a scheme assumes a sequential arrangement of radiators, which leads to the fact that already cooled coolant enters the last batteries in turn. The second option is more complicated and more expensive, but thanks to the two-pipe scheme, the coolant is evenly distributed between the radiators.

The principle of operation of this system is quite simple: a gas-air mixture is burned in the burner. The heat released during combustion heats the walls of the heat exchanger, which, in turn, heats the coolant. Through the pipeline, it enters the radiators, where it cools slightly. After that, the coolant flows back into the boiler heat exchanger, where it heats up and the process repeats.

The figure shows a standard two-pipe scheme of individual heating and hot water supply for an apartment with a coolant outlet for "warm floors".

Registration procedure

Before starting the installation of equipment, it is necessary to draw up a project for autonomous heating. Often, gas units are used as the main heating installation for such systems. The owner needs to contact the supplier of the "blue" fuel so that the heating scheme is drawn up correctly. The organization's specialists will determine the best option for autonomous heating, taking into account specific technical conditions.

The most significant point is the pressure level in the gas pipeline. If it is insufficient and does not allow to ensure the normal operation of the installation, then you can forget about the creation of gas heating in the apartment. Then you will have to consider the option with a heating device with a different coolant. Alternatively, you can take a closer look at the scheme with an electric boiler or do it easier by installing a "warm floor" in the apartment.

It is interesting: what type of underfloor heating is better to choose.

Before you go to the gas company, you need to collect a certain list of documents. The owner will need to provide:

Technical passport for the apartment. This document should contain information that the dwelling is disconnected from the centralized heating supply.
Passport and TIN.
A copy of the equipment passport, as well as instructions for its installation.
Paid invoice for the services of a gas company for the preparation of an individual heating system.

When permission is received from the gas supplier, you can proceed to the creation of individual heating in your home.

The legislation of the Russian Federation clearly spelled out important points regarding the arrangement of autonomous gas heating. The boiler must be equipped with a closed combustion chamber and have well-functioning ways of removing carbon monoxide. If this condition is not met, then a ban will be imposed on the installation of a device for heating an apartment.

Requirements for installing a boiler in an apartment

How to install a double-circuit gas boiler in an apartment? Installation of such equipment is often difficult for a number of reasons (absence of a central gas pipeline, difficulties in obtaining a permit, lack of conditions, etc.). To register, knowledge of the laws and basic rules is required. In case of unauthorized installation of a gas heating boiler, you will have to pay a large fine and dismantle the boiler.You need to start with obtaining permission.

The norms are spelled out in Federal Law No. 83. Before starting work, it is advisable to carefully study the plan for obtaining documents and technical conditions.

Required documents

To mount a boiler in an apartment with existing centralized heating, you need to collect a package of documents and go through several bodies in stages:

After submitting an application to the state supervision authorities, if the conditions for installation and maintenance of the heating device are met, technical conditions are issued, which are a permitting document for the installation of equipment.
After receiving the conditions, a project is created. It can be performed by an organization licensed for this type of activity. The best choice would be a gas company.
Obtaining permission to enter the boiler. It is issued by inspectors of companies that check ventilation. During the inspection, they will draw up an act with the instructions that need to be eliminated.
After collecting all the documents, the project documentation for the installation of the boiler in a separate apartment is approved. Within 1-3 months, employees of state supervision must complete the approval of the installation. If no violations are found during the collection and preparation of documents, the consumer receives a final installation license.
In the company providing heat supply services, documents for refusal of service are submitted.

You can't break the rules. Only the fulfillment of all conditions will allow obtaining permission to install gas equipment.

Boiler room requirements

The room in which the boiler is installed must meet the following requirements:

Gas equipment can only be installed in non-residential areas with tightly closing doors. For installation, do not use the bedroom, utility rooms, kitchens and toilets.
It is best to mount a gas meter in the kitchen. In this case, an additional pipe is introduced into the room.
All surfaces (walls and ceiling) in the room must be lined with refractory materials. It is advisable to use ceramic tiles or gypsum fiber sheets.
The area of the installation room must be at least 4 m2. It is required to provide access to all units of the gas boiler for high-quality service of the system.

Chimney installation

Installation of gas heating in apartments is allowed only with normally functioning ventilation and a combustion product removal system. Therefore, it will be optimal to use a boiler with a closed combustion chamber, which is connected to a horizontal pipe to remove smoke. In this case, you do not need to run several pipes for ventilation and smoke removal.

In some regions, there are no restrictions on the installation of chimneys from a coaxial pipe. This simplifies the hardware installation process.

If several owners in a house want to simultaneously switch to individual heating, the chimneys are combined into a single cluster. One vertical pipe is attached from the outside, to which the horizontal ones coming from the apartments are connected.

For normal operation of the system, it is necessary to install high-capacity air circulation devices in the boiler room. Such ventilation must be mounted separately, without contact with the general.

Transition to individual heating: advantages and disadvantages

Switching from district heating to gas heating requires a lot of money and labor. It takes a lot of time to process permits, so the actions need to be planned and the collection of the necessary papers should be started long before the intended installation.

Most representatives of government agencies will prevent disconnection from the district heating system. Permits are reluctant to issue.Therefore, problems with paperwork are the main drawback in the transition to gas heating.

Cons of switching:

The inability of the apartment to install individual heating systems. A number of steps are required to obtain a permit. Partial renovation is expensive.
Heating devices require grounding. It is difficult to do this in an apartment, since according to SNiP, water pipes or the power grid cannot be used for this.

The main advantage of such heating is efficiency and profitability. Conversion costs pay off in a few years, and the consumer gains energy independence.

Finished construction

Disconnection of district heating

To transfer an apartment to autonomous heating, you must first apply for a refusal to use district heating. When a positive decision is received, you can proceed to installing a boiler and other related equipment in the apartment.

To disconnect an apartment from central heating, you need to find out who is responsible for the pipes and radiators. If they are owned by the owners of the house, then permission should be obtained from the neighbors. If the apartment building is served by special services, then an application should be submitted with a request to disconnect from the heat supply networks.

You need to contact your home service company and get a permit. The document must contain the approved scheme and there must be permission to transfer the apartment to individual heating. Only after that you can proceed directly to dismantling the old system and installing an individual heating scheme for the apartment. It takes a lot of time to switch from one to the other. The experience of many apartment owners suggests that this takes 3-6 months.

How do I prepare for installation?

The most comfortable and safe installation of individual heating in an apartment can be done by trusting professionals. In this case, you can use the services of experienced employees who specialize in this installation. They can quickly determine the required amount of work and future costs in your particular home. And also provide for the very possibility of installing an individual boiler.

In the first step, workers will consider the need to equip outdoor chimneys in your home. They must discharge combustion products above roof level as required by health and safety regulations. If the house already has such a device, the masters will simply connect your apartment to it. Otherwise, they will put out a separate pipe for you.

At the second stage, the workers will calculate the dimensions of your apartment and the necessary costs for its heating. After that, you can already say how much individual heating costs in the apartment of your house. Also, having analyzed the area of housing and the climatic features of the region, experienced craftsmen will determine the power of the required boiler. They will also help you decide on the choice of a proven and safe model. Or (in the case of a purchase you have already made) they can tell whether this boiler is suitable for your apartment. In addition to the boiler, the workers will also select high-quality pipes, radiators and offer you the type of heating wiring.

Equipment selection

To create an efficient and trouble-free system, it is necessary to properly approach the problem of equipment selection. The best option is to use a gas installation. It is optimal if it has a double-circuit design, but a single-circuit model can also be dispensed with. The choice in her favor should be made only if there are no interruptions in the supply of hot water in the apartment.

Using gas equipment as the main element of the heating system, you can significantly reduce heating costs.

However, this will require the installation of a two-two-rate counter. At the same time, it is desirable that new wiring be laid in the apartment. It is best if it is copper.

Installation features

If desired, the installation of the heating system can be done by hand. Laying pipes and installing heating radiators are not super complicated activities. The help of professionals will be required when you need to make a gas branch, connect and start the boiler. Upon completion of the installation, they will check that the system is working correctly.

It is rather difficult to talk about the average cost of such work, since there are nuances in the creation of individual heating. Many factors form the final amount. The cost of work is influenced by the size of the apartment, the brand of the device and its functions. Also important is the material from which the pipes are made and the prices of individual specialists. But even with serious expenses, the owner pays for the money spent on the creation of such a system in a short time.

Individual gas heating in an apartment building is the right choice for many people who do not want to live without hot water for several weeks every summer.

With its help, you can provide a comfortable microclimate in your home at any time. When choosing a boiler, special attention should be paid to its capacity, which depends on the area of the dwelling.

Only professionals can correctly install the device and carry out the adjustment of its operation. This will require a certain amount of money. But upon their completion, the owner will have at his disposal an economical and smoothly functioning system. It will provide warmth in a city dwelling, and during operation it will not require much attention.

Important information about an individual gas heating system

Among the advantages, the possibility of future savings on payment for services stands out. Also, the owners will have independence from planned and unscheduled outages of hot water and heating. Many are attracted by the opportunity to maintain the desired indoor temperature throughout the year.

If a gas meter is not installed, and residents are forced to leave the apartment for some time, then they will not need to collect a number of documents certifying their real absence and submit them to the competent authorities. It will be enough just to turn off the gas boiler.

The market offers several options for heating an apartment in an apartment building. Among them, the opportunity to use natural gas for these purposes stands out. It allows you to reach the right temperatures, which provides residents with an adequate level of comfort.

The owner of the apartment decides for himself what temperature will be optimal for him. He himself calculates the budget for paying for gas, based on his needs, and plans expenses.

Statistical calculations of experts on the device of independent gas heating in apartment buildings show that when installing autonomous systems, on average, residents' costs for heating are halved, and the costs for heating water are reduced by three or more times.

Large boiler houses using main gas do not provide high efficiency due to significant heat losses on heating mains and other important factors.

An individual oversized system allows for efficient and quick repair of all key components, characterized by low heat loss and, therefore, productive work and high efficiency.

Most new buildings are increasingly switching to individual gas heating. Such buildings are not initially equipped with risers. Boilers are immediately installed in them in each separate apartment.

The safe operation of a gas boiler is ensured by the correct installation of all systems, checking their operability and the absence of gas leaks, exhausts.It is best to install the gas boiler in a separate boiler room in order to avoid exposure to accidentally leaked toxic gases that threaten humans.

Correct installation and conduction of the chimney is the key to installing a gas boiler. If carbon monoxide is not completely removed from the room, then adverse consequences for the residents of the apartment are possible.

In order to install a gas boiler in an apartment, you must have a connected gas pipeline. If there is no gas pipeline yet, it will take some time and a decent amount of money to build it. In addition, you need to obtain a number of permits. In such cases, everyone decides for himself whether to get involved in this process and bring it to completion.

Not always, when talking about individual gas heating in an apartment building, they think about the apartment installation of systems and boilers. Often, one powerful boiler is installed on the whole house or entrance, which provides heat to the entire system under its control.

Thanks to this option, residents are no longer dependent on the central highway. Usually boilers are connected in basements.

The dependence on district heating dictates the need for residents to pay the costs associated with heat losses. This is about thirty percent of the cost of heating services. Even due to the fact that most of the city's heating systems were built decades ago, they need regular maintenance.

An individual heating system can only be installed with a properly arranged ventilation and smoke extraction system. According to the standards for each operating boiler, it must be connected to a separate flue duct. In the absence of a chimney, there is a high probability of getting a refusal.

A number of specialists are engaged in the service, the payment of whose work is entrusted to the residents of apartment buildings. By setting up an individualized system, tenants are eliminated from funding a multitude of unnecessary professionals. If a breakdown occurs in the installed system, then you can always raise funds for repair in an equal share from each tenant.

For apartment heating, wall-mounted boilers are mainly purchased, and powerful models of floor-standing boilers are purchased for heating the whole house. Installation of all equipment is carried out only by specialists who have the right to carry out such work.

It is important to know that without permits you cannot independently carry out any work on setting up autonomous heating. Independence in this case is destructive and can lead to long litigation and responsibility before the law.

If you nevertheless decided to implement your idea, then to implement it you need to go through a number of stages, which we will describe in this article.
