Calculation of the cost of warm floors



Such a miracle of technology, like the system of a warm floor,has long ceased to be perceived as a luxury. Warm floor took a worthy place among all other types of space heating. There are more and more people who want to buy such a floor. Accordingly, more people are interested in its value.





Calculation of the cost of warm floors

















Components of the cost of electric underfloor heating

To give a clear answer to the question, how many will becost installation of a warm floor, it is necessary to list all its components. This is the cost of all the necessary components of the heating system, the cost of installation works and the cost of operation, that is, how much the warm floor will consume electricity and gas. The directly price of a warm floor depends on such basic components as the heating element of the system (film, cable or mat) and the system control (equipment and automation, performing thermostatic functions). The heating, or rather its intensity, is regulated by a control system that can be based on a single thermostat from two possible modes at. The first type includes temperature controllers with simple use and control. Due to this, their cost will be somewhat lower. The second type includes programmable thermostats. They allow you to set a certain temperature at different times. Most often, the day is divided into four periods. In this case, the cost of the warm floor will increase, since such thermostats are expensive. However, this control system will allow you to save considerable energy consumption. Accordingly, the operating costs will decrease. The final cost of the warm floor is also influenced by the various elements of the fastening of power and heating cables. It is important to remember and realize that if you decided to buy a warm floor and saved up some money for this, do not save on such "small things" as it might seem at first glance, as fastening elements. After all, it depends on them the efficiency and quality of the entire heating system as a whole. Directly, the very purchase of a warm floor is only the first stage. The second most important stage of the work is its installation. The final cost of a warm floor directly will also depend on the price of installing the entire system. The price of the heated floor will increase proportionally with the installation price. And, in turn, its value depends on various factors. Among them, the degree of readiness of the object to work on installation, the need for thermal insulation, the type of fixtures used, the type of coating material. It is understandable that the more expensive the components for installation, the more labor is required to install such a floor. Accordingly, the above will be the final price. To put an electric floor heating, you will need to perform a complete floor repair in your house. After all, it must be hollow inside to make room for heating systems.
Buying warm floors will not only make your home more comfortable, but also will provide an opportunity to save on utilities.

Components of the cost of the water-heated floor

In addition to electrical warm floors, there arealso water. And the second enjoy no less success. Regardless of whether an apartment or a private house will be equipped with such a heating system, both of its options, in principle, can be used both there and there. However, there are still some nuances, pluses and minuses. The warm water floor is considered a heating system with a fairly low temperature of the coolant itself. It can be directly connected only to low-temperature heating boilers that heat the coolant to 30-50 degrees C. In all other cases, a three-way mixing valve with a thermostat controlling the temperature of the heat carrier is required. The calculation of the cost of the water floor includes the elements of the system used in the work: cabinet, pipes, heat insulation, fittings and fasteners for connection to the heating system, stop valves and manifolds. And also, of course, the cost of installation and operation of such a heating system. The designer will independently calculate such a warm floor using special programs, relying on the information collected about the object. Namely: building norms and rules adopted in the territory of the Russian Federation. The water-heated floor must be connected to an autonomous gas boiler (to which, by the way, batteries can also be connected). And this is a separate item in the calculation of value. After all, it will be necessary to carry out gas and hang a boiler, the cost of which is quite high. For apartments in which there is no autonomous boiler at all, this type of heating is not at all suitable. The fact is that the apartments connected to the central heating are too dependent on the schedule for switching on the heating installed by the public utilities and directly from the work of the communal workers. Therefore, if you plan to install a warm floor in the apartment, it may be better to choose an electric warm floor .
In general, the installation of any warm floor is a very complex and time-consuming process. And you only need to trust it to professionals.
The cost of a heated floor must be formedindividually for each individual object. Correct and accurate calculation of the cost of this kind of heating will only professionals. Therefore, it is better to turn to them and trust their experience.
