House in the village and choice of gas heating
An interesting trend is being noticed now. If, even 20 years ago, crowds of people tried to settle in "non-rubber Moscow", now the "reverse" has turned on - many Muscovites reached for permanent residence in the village. The reason is simple - living in the capital is expensive, and most of the work can be done remotely using the Internet. At the same time, the countryside has a number of advantages: the air is cleaner, the people are kinder, and the food is healthier. And the "tentacles" of the World Wide Web have already reached the deepest depths - there are no problems for accessing the Internet.
An acquaintance of mine, a freelancer, did just that. Several years ago, he rented out his apartment to newcomers who are still convinced that “Moscow does not believe ”, and he drove 200 km away from the capital and bought a house with a plot in a dilapidated village. The guy ended up not only with brains, but also with hands. He demolished the old shack and built a modern cottage, punched a well, installed a solar panel, assembled a greenhouse, cut down a bathhouse... Life began to improve. Gradually, solid houses of other emigrants from the Moscow Ring Road area began to appear nearby. People got a taste for country pastoral.
But... my friend (and his wife) did not want to deny themselves comfort. He recognized and honored the blessings of civilization. The family demanded heat in the radiators and hot water in the tap. Whatever one may say, but you are the new village intelligentsia and must keep the style. In vain did you visit VDNKh and see Lenin in the Mausoleum? The past, you know, obliges the locals to set a good example ...
Therefore, after calculating finances and tightening the belt on his stomach, our ex-Muscovite paid for the supply of the pipe to his section and the connection of gas. I prepared the documents and even washed it with brandy, this extraordinary event. The guy was sure that the most difficult thing was over. Alas, the friend ran into a problem where it was least expected. It is called: "Large selection of heat generating equipment." Simply put, the market offered such a variety of gas boilers that my friend simply could not focus his choice on something. Only one thing he knew for sure - he wants buy floor gas boiler for heating.
The price of a gas boiler was determined in advance - from 30 to 50 thousand. rubles. It was she who fell into the mid-budget segment, where there was the largest number of proposals for energy equipment for the home. Moreover, it included both factory Chinese and well-known European brands: ELECTROLUX, BAXI, DE - DIETRICH, VAILLANT, RINNAI, PROTHERM, KITURAMI, BERETTA, HAIER, etc.
The freelancer suffered for a long time until a thought, brilliant in its simplicity, came to his mind: "Shouldn't I turn to professionals?" No sooner said than done. After all, they correctly say that one head is good, but the head of a specialist is better. An experienced company engineer assessed the technical condition of the premises (taking into account possible heat losses), calculated the cubic capacity and, based on these key indicators, deduced the main figure - BOILER POWER. After that, from the list of equipment, the specialist selected the optimal unit and voila! all that remains is to make the payment and buy gas boiler.
You can count for advertising, but when they ripped you off, and there is no other word, more than 300,000 rubles for supplying gas to the house, then the topic of choosing a boiler becomes more than relevant.
