Unheated, a cold garage in which the car is constantly residing, may affect a significant reduction in its period of operation. That is why car owners are thinking about the options for installing some heater.
How to choose a type of garage heating
Any room should be heated in the cold season, even if it is a technical building. The fact is that the moisture will begin to accumulate in the garage in the garage, which will definitely turn into snow or ice. To think about the economical way to heating the garage is still since the summer. Thus, the car will not freeze, and the engine will be cozy in warmth.
Each owner itself decides how to make the garage room. Selects the most practical method. Among the many factors that may affect the decision-making, the most significant can be attributed to:
- price;
- ease of system;
- used fuel type.
The meaning also has the location of the garage relative to the residential building. In the case of a remote location, it is recommended to organize an autonomous heating system. With the immediate vicinity, you can combine the heating systems, paving the pipes and setting several radiators. Thinking heating, many try to take into account compliance with the following requirements:
- Availability.
- Efficiency.
- Easy maintenance.
- Easy operation.
A large influence on your choice will be the area of \u200b\u200bthe room and the number of cars located in it. If there are few spaces, then it makes no sense to equip full-fledged heating. Pay attention to the heat gun, homemade boiler or classic burzhuyk.
Methods of heating garage
Each car owner had to change the oil or to top up the brake fluid, and sometimes produce a small repair. Perform such work in the cold garage is not comfortable. Consequently, not only the maintenance of the car depends on the heating of the garage, but also the comfort of his stay in it.
Water heating
This option is customary if the garage is attached to the house. If the garage is a mansion, you will have to buy a boiler for heating water, install batteries, an expansion tank and laying pipes. These are large financial costs. Inside the garage should be access to the power grid and water supply.
If the garage is made in the form of an extension to the residential house, it will be enough to extend the pipes and set several radiators. This method is quite budgetary and will control the size of heating in separate rooms.
Electric heating
It assumes the use of autonomous heaters, the number of which can vary greatly depending on the size of the garage. Machine owners most often buy oil heaters. They are able to maintain heat for a long time and at the same time they support the temperature for a long time.
It is not very convenient to warm the garage with electricity, because the heater should work constantly. It is usually included for several hours, repair and turn off. The heater cannot be left included, as a fire can happen. This method is also not profitable economically.
Gas heating
This method is selected only if there are relevant communications. Nobody will carry gas to the garage separately. The method is relevant for garages attached to homes. Use gas cylinders not only is not appropriate, but also dangerous.
Wood heating
The brick oven is not at all necessary. It is possible to hide the room. Probably everyone knows how the burzhuyka works. It is worth such a furnace is not expensive, and the need for firewood is not difficult to satisfy. However, such an aggregate is not particularly effective. You will not be able to heat the garage for a short time, and the smoke and carbon monoxide can lead to problems. Therefore, we can not do without the organization of effective ventilation.
To reduce the cost of operating the equipment, we recommend that you spend some money on the insulation of walls and ceiling of the garage. Make sure the absence of any gaps or holes through which heat may leak. Every car owner should evaluate the options granted based on their capabilities and requirements.
