Advantages of a gas oven
The gas oven has recently become popular for a reason very popular method of heating the house, since it can be connected to backbone network, and to a regular cylinder with gas. Design the most economical among all types of stoves.
The unit is distinguished by the following positive properties:
- does not pose a danger for the life of people;
- can be placed in houses, made from any building materials;
- uses for work natural liquefied gas;
- has small size;
- does not burn indoors oxygen;
- is distinguished by a large economy;
- simple in operation;
- durability and the ability to work without failures.
Elements of the device. Types of burners
The equipment in question necessarily includes such components:
- brick or metal body;
- chimney;
- foundation.
The building contains three elements:
- Heating shield.
- Fuel tank.
- A gas burner that is a replaceable element. It can be one-, two-stage and may have floating adjustmentIf necessary, the burner can be replaced with a more or less powerful one.
Such furnaces work in permanent or temporary mode, which is achieved due to the presence of automation. The principle of operation of the units is quite simple: a burner is placed in the firebox, in which the gas combustion process takes place, the latter is removed through the chimney.

In the case when it is planned to build a furnace on one's own, inside it is laid out red brickIf the use of additional types of fuel in the device is permitted, the brick must be fireproof.
Above the firebox is located chimney, and below - ash-pit, through which air enters the furnace. It is without this part of the entire structure that the fuel will not burn.
The design of gas furnaces is such that gases flowed through certain channels, having maximum five smoke turns.
Attention! All channels must be located strictly in a vertical position, otherwise the installation of the device in question in the house will be prohibited.
Recommendations for choosing a home gas stove
When deciding to install a gas stove in your home, The following features must be taken into account:
- When choosing a device, first of all, pay attention to its power, because the temperature indicator in your home depends only on this. The future will affect the power of the burner. heated area, the number of windows and doors in the house, as well as their condition, the thickness of the walls, etc.
- When purchasing a gas structure, you should first take care of sufficient good ventilation in the house. If there is none and it cannot be improved, then installing such a stove is strictly prohibited.
- Take into account equipment system you like. In some cases, it is supplied with adapters, which allows you to connect to several fuel sources.
- The design in question is only suitable if the house has no more than two floors, otherwise the entire heating system will be ineffective.
- For ease of use and additional control of the device, it is mounted a special sensor that detects the level of carbon dioxideIf there is any change in the air, the oven will be turned off automatically.
- In case you buy finished metal oven, you need to inquire about the documents for the device, which indicate whether it is really safe for use in a residential area.
- Categorically forbidden install this type of stove in wooden houses, channels in which are located horizontally.
When purchasing a gas stove, you need to consider what it will be square heated room. It is not difficult to calculate it. For 10 square meters living space must have 1 kW power burners (for stock) It's better to add 15-20%). Thus, in a house whose size will be 100 square meters, need to install a stove, with a capacity of 12 kW.
Types of stoves
If we talk about heat capacity, then in this case the furnaces are divided into two categories:
- Heat-intensive ones have brick building, which accumulates heat in itself and then gradually releases it into the environment. Once turned off, the stove, depending on its size, can continue to operate. heat the room for 4-12 hours.
- The design is not heat-intensive made of metal. It generates heat. only when the gas combustion process occurs. After the fuel supply is stopped, the device cools down very quickly. The advantages of such a design are that it has small size and weight and can be installed even in small spaces.

Ovens in their own way appearance there are:
- round;
- oval;
- rectangular.
The appearance of the device only affects its combination with a certain interior.
Reference. Internal the design of the stove is not good not related to her external view.
Placement of gas heating device

Attention! Never install the structure close to the wallThe acceptable value is minimum 50 centimeters.
As grounds It is prohibited to use wood or linoleum. It must be smooth, solid and non-flammableIn addition, depending on the size of the oven, the base should be at least as high as the oven. 10-15 cm on each side.
The placement of the device in the house is influenced by its power:
- Installation is in progress in the kitchen, if this indicator no more than 60 kW.
- In case of exceeding the power (more than 60 kW) installation is allowed in a separate room or extension.

- If you plan to build a brick building, you need to protect the walls with heat-resistant material.
- Using stainless steel pipes, connect the chimney with a stove.
Reference! The pipes must be pushed into each other at least by 5 cm.

- Before making the connection to the chimney, install inside it there is a stainless steel pipe.
- Smoke exhaust are placed strictly vertically.
Important! Acceptable angle of inclination chimney is equal 30 degrees.
- If the outer part of the chimney is not going to be inside the brick well, then it needs to be wrap with insulation, and on top cover with a sheet of stainless steel.

Comments
Now I'm thinking of installing a boiler in my city apartment. But Gorgaz told me that the project and installation would cost me 130,000. Teploseti warned me that even if I install the boiler and use it, and disconnect the pipes from the general heating, I'm still obliged to pay for the heat. So what does this mean, paying for unpaid services? I consulted a lawyer. Teploseti's actions are illegal. Of course, if everyone switches to their own heating, how will they live? That's why they're scaring me!
