Garage heating system using gas boiler exhaust from home

Boiler room in the garage: is this option possible? This question interests many owners of this utility room. In principle, it can be resolved positively, because modern boilers, if all requirements are met, are considered safe; their installation is allowed even in basements and attics. Another thing is that amateur performance should not be allowed, but standard equipment should be used. Otherwise, such installations can lead to big trouble. In addition, most types of boiler rooms are installed if permitted by the relevant organizations.

Garage heating with gas overview of different types of equipment

Heating a garage is a pressing issue for many car owners. This is not only a sign of caring for your favorite vehicle, but also a great way to organize a workshop, additional space for storing household items. Garage heating with gas has become widespread today. If the garage is located on your site so that it can be connected to the main gas pipeline, then the heating issue is practically resolved. Garage heating can also be autonomous; for its arrangement you can choose both portable and stationary equipment.

Advantages of gas heating in the garage

• Low cost compared to electricity;
• Economical consumption - to maintain the optimal temperature in the garage you do not need large volumes of fuel;
• Possibility of using gas in cylinders for the installation of autonomous heating;
• Gas is a natural fuel that burns completely and does not release harmful substances into the air.

However, there are certain difficulties when installing gas heating:

• Purchasing the necessary equipment will require a substantial initial investment;
• It is prohibited by law to connect gas installations yourself; for this you will need a specialist;
• There are safety requirements for such equipment that must be met.

Stationary gas equipment

Stationary gas heating in the garage - boiler

This includes special boilers to which a system of water pipes is connected. To install them, you will need permission from the gas service, as well as supply and exhaust ventilation. Since the garage is considered a fire hazard, the boiler is moved to a separate room measuring at least 4 sq.m. with walls covered with non-combustible materials. According to the standards, the boiler room must also have a door at least 800 mm wide.

The advantage of using a stationary boiler is the possibility of full, round-the-clock heating of the building. In this case, you do not need to control the operation of the equipment. At the same time, installing a boiler will require significant investments from you, which will only pay off in the long term. This option should be considered by those car owners who plan to open a workshop or small production in the garage.

Mobile gas equipment

In this case, we are talking about intermittent (periodic) heating of the garage using various heating devices that are powered by cylinders with natural or liquefied gas. These can be heat guns, burners and convectors.

Gas guns are powerful heating devices with a small burner, the heat from which quickly spreads throughout the room using a fan. They are convenient to use for short-term and local heating of a room. The disadvantage of the device is the release of combustion products into the air, which quickly accumulate in the room. Thus, you will need high-quality ventilation.

Mobile garage heating with gas - heat gun

Gas convectors can be equipped with a fan, which promotes rapid circulation of heated air masses, as well as a thermostat. They are compact, inexpensive, safe to use, and compatible with the liquefied gas system. But, like gas guns, they require ventilation or a special chimney.

The simplest portable devices are burners. They connect to both large cylinders and mini gas cylinders. Due to open flames, burners are considered unsafe for regular use in a garage.

Features of heating a garage with gas from cylinders

According to fire safety rules, gas cylinders should be stored in a special cabinet made of metal. It should be located away from flammable objects and heating appliances. Make sure that the cabinet is located above the floor line - this way, if there is a gas leak, you can quickly notice and correct the problem.

Heating the garage with gas from cylinders in a special cabinet

The choice of gas equipment for a garage depends on the frequency and purpose of its use, and the financial capabilities of the customer. On the one hand, installing a stationary boiler is expensive, on the other hand, heating using cylinders causes a lot of inconvenience. During severe frosts, cylinders have to be changed every 2-4 days, which also costs a considerable amount. And don’t forget about garage fire safety.

Hi all! Sandwich garages are my passion. I can talk about them day and night. I can and will tell you =)

Types of heating devices

Heating gas is used in the following ways:

• Full heating with boiler. It heats the water circulating through the pipes. Gas service workers themselves must connect the system to the main wire. To do this, you will need to sign the relevant documents and pay the price for the insert.
• Boiler for heating air. Heating in this case is carried out using a heat gun. With this method, the gas burns out in a burner, and heat fills the room through a fan.

Gun for organizing garage heating

• Condensing boiler - economical heating of a garage space. The efficiency is approximately 10% greater compared to conventional gas ones.

The first method is the most difficult, since it takes time to collect, prepare documentation, create a project, and install heating. In addition, you should select, buy, and install a boiler.

For the second method, no special equipment is needed; it is enough to use liquefied gas from a cylinder.

Gas-burner

A burner is an easy way to heat a garage; it is the most affordable method that helps maintain a comfortable temperature in a small room. The burner is easy to operate and meets heating needs even in winter.

There is no need for a chimney under the burner, because during operation it does not release harmful impurities into the space. But a constant supply of fresh air is important.

The burner is an infrared heater, so the heating does not spread in a narrow direction. This is extremely convenient if you need to stay warm and quickly warm up your work area. For uniform heat distribution, you will need to wait about 30 minutes - depending on the power of the device. Fuel consumption (in this situation, gas) is minimal. One cylinder is enough for several days of operation of the device.

Gas-burner

Do not leave the burner on unattended. In other cases, this is a simple, accessible and economical method.

Gas gun

A good heating method is using a gas gun. You just need to choose the right power of the device, this will allow you to maintain highly efficient heating.

The principle of operation of the gun is similar to the operation of a hair dryer. The basis of the device is a fan, the degree of heating is changed by a thermostat located on the body. The fan helps create a directed flow of air passing through the heating element. The heated air flows out, and the gun absorbs a new portion to warm up.

For garages, it is better to purchase a mobile cannon with wheels so that you can always move it to the right place. When using, please note that the device should not be constantly turned on. The garage only warms up to the desired temperature, then the gun is turned off. An important advantage of the device is its efficiency, because only 500 ml of liquefied gas is consumed per hour.

For maximum efficiency of the device, it is important to decide on the choice of a model that is suitable in terms of power. The performance of the device is calculated: 1.4 kW of power for every 10 square meters of room area, if the ceiling height is approximately 2.5 m. Typically, 3 kW of power is enough for a standard garage.

If there are often frosts in your region of residence, you should buy a gun with a capacity of 5 kW. The disadvantage of the device is poor environmental friendliness, because during combustion it releases toxins into the environment.

Gas heater

A heater that runs on bottled or natural gas can be mobile or stationary. Mobile devices are small in size and benefit from their local heating. Stationary devices can operate from the main wire or from a cylinder.

There are no special devices designed only for garages. You should choose taking into account the available assortment. For a garage space, 4 different types of gas heaters are suitable.

Heater

The devices and functions of each are interconnected, because heating in them is carried out according to similar rules:

• first, gas is supplied to the combustion chamber;
• at this stage the gas is ignited using a piezoelectric element;
• fuel combustion products enter the chimney through a special pipe - this is how stationary models are designed;
• heat during combustion affects the heating element, heats it up; the heating element can be ceramic or steel.

Subsequently, the process differs depending on the type of device.

Gas convector

When there is no water in the garage, there is no possibility of connecting to the main line through which gas passes, then the best choice is heating through a convector. For a room of a standard area, just one convector is enough. It economically consumes gas from the cylinder, requiring less costs in contrast to the column or boiler.

Article on the topic: How to insulate a sand block garage

During the installation process, you will only need to spend money on a good convector, because radiators and water pipes are not needed. It is better to mount these devices on a vertical wall that is not located adjacent to other buildings.

This placement will help create high-quality heating and safely place the cylinders outside the garage room on the street. The optimal solution is to install the cylinders in a special metal box near the wall, behind which the convector will hang. When all the walls are located adjacent to adjacent buildings, the solution is to place the box with cylinders inside the room, but as far as possible from electrical appliances. There must be holes made in it for ventilation.

A gas boiler

The efficiency of many modern boilers is close to 100%. These are economical devices. For example, a top class boiler is characterized by an efficiency of 94-96%. The efficiency of a middle class boiler is 70-90%. The cost of premium equipment is an order of magnitude higher than average.

Boiler

Professionals advise not to focus on price; you should not purchase the most affordable models, since the difference in price will quickly pay for itself during operation. A cheap boiler will need to be replaced after a couple of years or constantly spend money on repairs and constant maintenance. As a result, the total costs will be much higher in contrast to premium models.

The service life of boilers in the middle price segment is 10-15 years, but more expensive options will last at least twice as long.

The purchased model must be equipped with automatic control. Modern boilers are easy to use, they are completely safe, reliable, and are distinguished by the ability to set a comfortable temperature regime. You can choose even the smallest gas boiler, but it is still very powerful.

Choosing the right gas boiler

You can purchase a suitable gas boiler yourself

It is worth paying special attention to each component of the equipment. In particular, this applies to the body material itself, the chimney (if there is one), as well as the ignition system

In addition, you need to find out which gas connection option is available.

The most popular devices are boilers made of cast iron and steel. If you choose between the two, preference should be given to the latter, since cast iron is considered a rather heavy metal. A convenient boiler is one that has an electric igniter installed.

Particular attention should be paid to the chimney. Since combustion products are aggressive, this part must be made of durable material

Alloy steel is considered the ideal option. However, there is equipment where there is no chimney as such (the device is equipped with fans).

Procedure for obtaining technical specifications

Technical conditions for gas supply to the garage will be issued by the gas service at the location of the facility.

Application form for obtaining technical conditions for gasification: you can apply for a facility being designed, under construction or put into operation

The owner of the premises should submit the application itself for drawing up the contract, as well as the following documentation:

• land ownership documents;
• identification card or official document confirming the authority of the representative;
• topographic plan of the territory with the building;
• registration certificate;
• consent of the gas distribution company;
• garage plan along with smoke and ventilation ducts.

Upon delivery, the customer receives pressure parameters at the point of connection to the gas network, the minimum and maximum gas use per unit of time, a description of the system features and the permissible gas consumption.

The owner of a garage with specifications in hand has the right to go to court if he is denied connection. The decision is usually made in favor of the plaintiff. The opportunity to go to court is also used in case of refusal to issue technical specifications.

Choice of energy carrier

The most convenient and rational solution would be gas heating, however, this method is only possible if the garage is located next to a private house, when the heating of the garage is combined with the heating of the house itself and radiators are simply installed in the garage.

Another method, which is quite common, is heating with solid and liquid fuels - coal, peat, wood, waste, diesel fuel.

This method is one of the cheapest, but, first of all, the problem of fuel storage needs to be solved.

Not everyone can afford the electric heating method, but still some motorists choose this type of heating for their garage.

No. 3. Project of a garage with a bathhouse and a utility room

This project can be called exemplary in terms of functionality. On 128 m2 it was possible to accommodate a lot of rooms with different functionality:

• garage for two cars , which can accommodate even fairly large vehicles;
• vestibule, from where you can get to both the work area and the relaxation area. If desired, you can place a storage system in the vestibule if something does not fit in the utility unit;
• spacious utility room , which every car owner can use at his own discretion. Here you can organize a workshop, a warehouse for spare parts or products, or store garden tools. If there is no need for a utility room, the room can be converted into a billiard room or a small gym;
• the relaxation area includes a steam room and a washing room of considerable size, a bathroom, and a relaxation room.

Preparation for installation

The gas boiler must be installed in a room separate from the garage with an area of ​​four square meters and a ceiling height of more than two meters. The door width must exceed 80 centimeters.

In addition, the room must be provided with good ventilation and a window, which will become a natural source of light during the daytime. The walls in the room must be finished with non-flammable materials.

When installing a chimney, you will need to install the pipe one meter above the level of the garage roof

It is also worth paying attention to the number of bends on this pipe. There should be as few of them as possible so that substances released during combustion do not settle on the sections of the chimney

Typically, a pipe with a diameter of 130 millimeters or more is used to construct a chimney.

The part of the roof where it will connect to the chimney must be protected with fire-resistant material, such as galvanized steel or asbestos cardboard.

Chimney requirements

The building codes also specify the requirements for the chimney:

• the cross-section of the outlet pipe must correspond to or be larger than the cross-section of the boiler outlet pipe;
• the material of the chimney outlet pipe is stainless or carbon sheet steel, the use of asbestos and other layered materials is possible only at a distance of more than 50 cm from the boiler outlet pipe;
• gas boilers, in which the outlet pipe is located at the top, must be connected by a vertical section at least 25 cm long, only after which bends are possible;
• no more than 3 bends are allowed along the entire length of the chimney;
• there must be at least 20 cm between the chimney outlet through the wall and the ceiling;
• the height of the chimney must ensure the proper force of natural draft (see photo).

The optimal height of the chimney according to SNiP 41-01-2003.

How to choose the right gas wall-mounted single-circuit boiler

Electric heating

The simplest and relatively affordable method is electric heating, for the arrangement of which it is enough to purchase the appropriate equipment. A wide variety of options, mobility and compactness are the main advantages. However, costs will directly depend on the established electricity tariffs.

Before installing electric heating, you need to choose the most suitable device:

1. Electric inverter
2. Infrared heater
3. Heat gun

Among the types of electric heating, the most effective is the inverter or “heater”. There are a huge number of models on the market that are installed on the floor or hung on the wall. They are quite compact, but at the same time very productive.

The approximate cost of an electric inverter is from 10 thousand rubles.

A compact and effective solution is the installation of IR heaters - a fairly powerful and productive device

However, paying attention to the rapid heating of the room, they are not able to cope with large areas. Negative aspects are also high energy consumption and prices for corresponding installations

The average cost of an infrared heater is from 4 thousand rubles.

Heat guns are considered compact, efficient and convenient, capable of heating a garage space in the shortest possible time. They consist of a heater and a fan that dissipates heat into the environment. However, to connect such equipment, it is necessary to have a single-phase network with a large cross-section of the wire being laid or a 3-phase network (the latter is preferable).

The cost of heat guns is from 5 thousand rubles.

No. 8. Garage project with sauna and barbecue

This project provides for the arrangement of an entire recreation complex: I arrived, parked my car, took a steam bath, fried kebabs, ate in the fresh air, and took a steam bath again. In general, you can have a great time. Among the features of the project we note:

• space for two cars;
• large barbecue area with summer kitchen . This territory will definitely not remain unused. On the covered terrace you can prepare a delicious lunch or dinner in any weather, sit in the company of friends or family and have a pleasant rest after water treatments;
• The SPA area consists of a steam room, shower room, toilet and relaxation room. If desired, the steam room and shower can be swapped - it will be even more convenient;
• To ensure the functioning of all areas of the garage, a boiler room and a utility room are provided, which can accommodate even a small storage area.

What to look for when choosing

The decisive factors when choosing a gas boiler are:

• the material from which its body is made;
• ignition system;
• the presence or absence of the need to install a chimney;
• features of indoor installation;
• method of connection to gas and water supply.

Material

The most common models on the gas equipment market are cast iron and steel models. Cast iron is a high-strength and durable material, but its disadvantage is its heavy weight. Therefore, it is preferable to use steel heaters.

Manual or electric igniter?

Boilers with an electric ignition are much more convenient to use. When installing them, the following conditions must be met:

1. uninterrupted power supply;
2. separate connection to the power supply network;
3. grounding

The solution to the first problem is to install an electrical stabilizer that suppresses voltage surges.

Types of boiler equipment

The chimney stove has an inlet temperature of about 120°C. The gas combustion process produces substances such as carbon monoxide, hot steam, sulfur dioxide, etc. All of them are removed from the garage using a chimney. At low ambient temperatures, vapors condense on the walls of the chimney and flow down.

Combustion products are quite caustic substances, so increased demands are placed on the chimney material. For the construction of a chimney, it is recommended to use alloy steel pipes, as well as carefully insulate them.

The garage can also be heated by boilers that do not require a chimney. They have built-in fans. Condensing boilers with a pulsed gas combustion mechanism are also becoming very popular.

Features of garage gasification

According to SNiP 2.04.08-87 “Gas supply” in clause 6.32, gas equipment can be placed in buildings located separately from residential buildings or adjacent to them. Owners obtain permission from design organizations.

The authorized structure takes into account the availability of a gas line for the implementation of such intentions, and geographical factors of the area. The same criteria apply to rooms in individual buildings as for living rooms. The feasibility of projects and calculations depends on the gas operating specialized company.

In case of problems with conventional gasification, there is an option with an autonomous supply from a gas holder; this is an ideal solution for a garage remote from main pipes

The connecting branch to a non-residential premises or a building under construction is installed according to an individual project based on an agreement between the owner of the property and the gas service. The active process starts after the customer receives technical specifications (TS).

In this sense, the procedure is as follows:

1. Submit a request for the preparation of technical specifications.
2. Get TU.
3. Draw up a written application for the agreement on accession to communications.
4. Sign the document to connect.
5. Obtain a warrant to put a non-residential building into operation.
6. Sign the act of connection to gas communications.

The operational features of garage premises and their compatibility with gas appliances raise the need for regulation and standardization.

Garage owners install gas boilers, stoves, burners, gas heat guns, but this may be hampered by the small size of the buildings, the lack of windows and other rooms besides the main one.

The principle of operation of a gas heat gun is to take in air and warm it up, so that the room will be evenly filled with warm air

You should not strive to gain access to the main pipe in any case, because there are also alternatives with cylinders and tanks for autonomous gasification.

The essence of the problem

At its core, any garage is a utility room (usually detached) of a warehouse type, but containing a car and substances belonging to the flammable category. These circumstances give rise to increased requirements for fire safety. Naturally, the question arises: is it even possible to place a boiler room in a garage?

When solving this issue, you should understand what a boiler room is and why it is installed. It is possible to set several tasks. Most often, the concept of a garage boiler room means a boiler for heating only the room itself, but sometimes a boiler room in a garage functions as a source of coolant for heating a private home. If in the first case a small standard boiler of various types is used, then in the second case fairly large areas and special permission are needed.

In any case, a garage with a boiler room is not prohibited by regulatory documents. At the same time, it must meet all technical and fire safety requirements. The need to draw up a project and coordinate it with the relevant organizations depends on the type and power of the equipment, the type of fuel consumed and the connection to centralized highways.

Let's talk about the boiler room

The choice of a boiler room should also be taken very seriously. First of all, it must be spacious enough so that the boiler receives the amount of air required for combustion. Of course, the air requirement depends on the boiler power. This is calculated using special formulas, which heating specialists, of course, have. So, you won’t have to bother yourself with unnecessary calculations. But it will not be superfluous to ensure that the boiler room has an entrance from the street, a reliable chimney and high-quality ventilation.

Of course, the question often arises - where is the best place to place a boiler room? Well, the answer is quite simple - the further away the boiler room is located, the more peacefully you can sleep. Still, gas boiler houses, which are especially popular today, always remain explosive. A tiny gas leak can be enough to create enough gas in the boiler room to blow everything away. That is why the boiler room must have large windows - in the event of a gas leak and explosion, the windows will be easily broken, and the room itself will receive minimal damage.

Also, the large distance between the cottage and the boiler room is good because the noise of a working heating boiler will not interfere with your having fun and enjoying life. Still, modern boilers often have injection burners, which make quite a lot of noise during operation.

You should not buy into the assurances of experts that the best place to place a gas boiler is the basement. In this case, the noise will be transmitted through the foundation, and you will probably not be able to rest peacefully. Of course, it is impossible to create large windows in the basement, so in the event of an explosion, the foundation of the house can be so damaged that the house simply collapses.

But still, you shouldn’t locate the boiler room too far from the house. After all, in winter there may well be a need to walk to the boiler room and back - most people will simply be too lazy to dress properly, and a walk in a light T-shirt and pants may result in pneumonia. Also in this case, heat loss increases, which means you will have to burn significantly more fuel in order to heat your home efficiently.

Many people believe that the optimal solution for a boiler room is a small, lightweight extension to the house. It is best to make it from drywall, plywood and foam. The construction of such an extension will take a few hours and will be very inexpensive.

He plans to start building his house in the summer or fall. Now prepare the project. In order to save money, it will not use the usual brick-slab system, but a combined wall and a monolithic prefabricated floor. So what about the boiler room? It needs to be placed in the basement of the building, but there will be a garage nearby. What is the safe distance to the garage?

And what are the walls between these two rooms?

Since you provided the description, nothing unusual has been observed so far. And you need to start from the foundation, from basements or semi-basements. It feels like you want to make a boiler room next to the garage. And here the constructive decisions you make play a significant role. If you want to install both a garage and a boiler room inside the house at the zero level, then it is advisable that the internal walls of the garage be load-bearing. The wall between the boiler room and the garage can be made of half a brick. Entrance to the garage from the street and from the house. Entrance to the boiler room from the house. The boiler room runs on gas. How many boilers do you have??? Are there dual circuit ones??? In any case, the area of ​​the boiler room should be at least 15 sq.m. and the height 2.5 m. Here, the issue of the chimney must also be resolved from the point of view of house design. A window into the boiler room must also be designed to allow outside air to be taken in for gas combustion. You can place a boiler room and a garage nearby. But it can also be blown apart. The issue must also be resolved from the point of view of rational distribution of pipelines within the volume of a house, for example, a two-story building.

How to make everything perfect

In order for the garage boiler room not to cause criticism from regulatory authorities, the following basic principles must be taken into account during its installation:

1. The room must be equipped with effective and reliable forced ventilation. The combustion products must be removed through an air duct, the outlet of which is located on the roof (at a standardized height).
2. All fire safety regulations must be strictly followed. In this case, the number of boilers in the room should not exceed 4 units. with a total power of up to 190-210 kW.
3. The boiler must be at least 100 cm away from the garage wall.
4. The minimum size of a garage in which installation of boilers is allowed is 6.5 sq.m. with a height of at least 2 m.
5. A heat-resistant, solid base (foundation) must be built on the floor under the boiler. Combustible materials must not be placed around the boiler.
6. Connection of communications must be done professionally, taking into account all standards.

Increased requirements are imposed when using gas. When a gas boiler is installed in a garage, approval is required already at the design stage. Permission to divert the gas main must be obtained and standards for gas consumption must be established. Installation of gas boilers must be carried out in strict accordance with regulatory documents: SNiP 31-02-2001, DBN V.2.5-20-2001, SNiP II-35-76, SNiP 42-01-2002 and SP 41-104-2000.

Current requirements for garage premises

On June 6, 2022, the Design Rules for gas supply systems SP 402.1325800.2018 came into force, which were approved based on the order of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services No. 789/pr dated 12/05/2018.

The rule of a 50mm margin between the sides of the slab and the counters still applies. As before, a 40-centimeter height interval from the same appliances to the burners should be observed. The new standards also do not prohibit the installation of double-glazed windows in rooms with boilers, but only if the structure of the glass allows them to be knocked out without much effort.

Connecting a gas stove in the garage

Only sealed hoses made of safe materials are suitable for this and other equipment. The length of the connecting elements should not exceed 1.5 meters.

Article on the topic: What cars are in the GTA 5 garage

Gas will definitely not be connected if the new requirements for stoves are not met:

• for gas stoves under a canopy, you need to use blow-out protection;
• the stove must have a “gas control” system, and between the tap and the hose there must be a dielectric coupling against stray current;
• a gas appliance for cooking must comply with GOST 33998;
• At least 1 m of margin should be left from the slab to the opposite wall.

Slabs for the garage, as well as for residential premises, should be purchased only from certified manufacturers, along with supporting documents for these devices.

Placement of heating boilers

You cannot install a gas boiler/heater/boiler in the same space as a car. The way out of the problem will be a combustion chamber. For a finished or attached garage space, basic and additional requirements apply. Type 2 standards will have to be checked with your local gas service.

Installing a boiler in a garage will be acceptable if the building meets the following parameters:

• non-freezing structure with an area of ​​at least 4 m² and a height of 2 m;
• the door opens outward and its width is at least 80 cm;
• the walls consist of non-flammable or low-flammable materials;
• There is a window for ventilation and light, approximately 1 m² in size.

The garage must have supply and exhaust ventilation. Its condition should be checked with a sheet of paper. In a working system, air in the supply channels will repel the leaf, and in the exhaust channels it will attract it.

Setting up a boiler room in the garage

Next, we suggest finding out how to organize a boiler room in a garage.

Layout of accommodation

It is better to install a gas boiler in a separate building, the area of ​​which is at least four square meters. There is also a requirement for ceilings - they must be more than two meters. As for the width of the door, its size should be 80 centimeters and above. In addition, the room should be ventilated and have a window that would provide natural light in the room during the day.

It is recommended to build a boiler room at a relative distance from a residential building for several reasons. Firstly, so that the noise from work does not disturb the household. Secondly, the boiler room is a fire hazardous facility.

Preparatory work

First of all, the walls in the garage need to be finished with heat-resistant material. If it is necessary to install a chimney, the pipe is installed above the level of the garage roof, approximately one meter. In addition, it is worth considering how many bends are present on the pipe. So, the lower this figure, the better, since otherwise the substances that are released during combustion will settle on the sections. As a rule, to equip a chimney, a pipe with a diameter of 130 millimeters is taken.

The area of ​​the roof where the connection to the chimney occurs must be protected with fire-resistant material. Take something like galvanized steel.

Ventilation arrangement

To ensure the safe operation of a boiler room in a garage on your own site, you will need to ensure there is a good ventilation system that can cope with the removal of harmful gases from the room.

Fan power is calculated using the following formula:

• M – fan power;
• S – building area;
• H – building height.

This formula includes the fact that the air in the room is renewed on average in 12 hours, and the minimum power reserve of the equipment is estimated at 30%.

Installation of a heating boiler in a garage

For garages, wall-mounted or floor-mounted boilers are often purchased. The equipment is installed on a brick (concrete) stand.

The boiler is fixed horizontally and vertically. Walls and other objects in the room should be 30-50 centimeters away from the device.

Connecting the device to gas and water

After the installation work is completed, the boiler is connected to gas and water supply. Water is supplied to equipment standing on the floor from above or to the side. In the version with a wall-mounted boiler, communications are connected to the transverse side.

Also, the remaining components of the device must be installed. In that situation, if there is no need to purchase an electric pump for the room, the pipes are laid with an inclination of five millimeters (per meter of length). Otherwise, there will be difficulties with circulation in the heating.

System startup and testing

After completing the manipulations to connect the device to the water supply system, the boiler is started in order to check the tightness of the connections. If the test run is successful, the boiler is connected to the gas pipeline.

Connecting the device to gas and water

When the installation is completed, the boiler is connected to gas and water supply. Water is supplied to floor-standing boilers either from above or from the side.

If a wall-mounted boiler is installed, then the pipes are routed to the transverse side.

All filters, pipes, gaskets and other components of the boiler must be installed without fail. If you do not plan to install an electric pump in the garage, then the pipes must be laid with a slope of five millimeters per meter of length. Otherwise, there will be difficulties with the circulation of coolant in the heating system.

After the boiler is connected to the water supply system, a test run is carried out, during which the tightness of the connections is checked. If the test was successful, you can begin connecting the boiler to the gas pipeline.

To carry out gas connection work, specialists are invited who also install the meter, taps, thermal shut-off valves and other accessories.

It is necessary to develop a plan for laying gas pipes in advance and approve it. This plan must be detailed and reflect all technical nuances. This must be done in order to avoid fines and gas shutdowns.

When buying or building their own home, most people hardly think about whether they need a garage. Of course you need it! Just enough so that you can install your own swallow, but there seems to be no need for anything else.

But then the need for a garage seems to disappear. In the summer it is much easier to put it under a canopy - the sun doesn’t burn you, and it will be much easier to drive the car out. And in winter, a garage, especially with heating, is not the best solution. Still, metal is better preserved at low temperatures. But at positive temperatures, the snow, saturated with salt, which is sprinkled on the streets, begins to melt, as a result of which the car body is intensively destroyed. So, it will be best if the temperature in the garage does not exceed 12-15 degrees Celsius.

Fuel boilers

The options discussed above involve connecting the equipment to centralized gas or electrical networks. What to do in the absence of highways and unreliable power supply? A mini-boiler room in a garage can be based on boilers running on liquid or solid fuel, which do not depend on the supply of centralized energy. The following settings are distinguished:

1. Solid fuel boilers. A modern boiler of this type can be safely installed even in a room such as a garage. The installations are distinguished by their versatility, i.e. they are able to work on coal, peat, firewood, even construction waste and straw. It is considered optimal to use special combustible briquettes based on compressed coal dust and other components. Fuel consumption occurs in a minimum amount, which is ensured by its complete combustion. The boilers operate on the pyrolysis principle, which gives a fairly high efficiency.
2. Liquid fuel boilers. They lay down an important principle of economy. They can be operated on used engine oil. This makes it possible to obtain cheap fuel and at the same time solve the issue of waste disposal.

The main advantage of fuel boilers is the absence of the need to obtain permits and the availability of fuel. An important disadvantage is the presence of a significant amount of combustion products. To remove them, you need a reliable chimney, the pipe of which should go to the roof.

Gas boiler installation standards

To avoid any troubles when putting the gas boiler into operation, it is necessary to select the installation location in accordance with current standards. The installation of a gas boiler in a private house (single-apartment or semi-detached) is regulated by SNiP 02/31/2001, and the installation rules in apartment buildings are prescribed in SNiP 2.08.01.

Article on the topic: How to build a metal garage

For private houses

According to the standards, a gas boiler can be installed in a ventilated room, which is located:

• on the first floor of the house;
• in the basement or basement;
• in the attic:
• gas boilers with a power of up to 35 kW (according to MDS 41.2-2000 up to 60 kW) can be installed in the kitchen.

There are currently two standards in force regarding the installation of boilers in the kitchen. According to one document, heating devices with a power of no more than 35 kW can be placed, according to another - no more than 60 kW. And we are talking only about heating devices. Gas stoves or other appliances using gas are not taken into account.

How and where to place a gas boiler

What to do? You need to find out what standards your GorGaz adheres to. After all, it is their representatives who will accept the equipment into operation. Actually, the designer should tell you all the details, but it is also advisable to know this - you will need to prepare the room for installation.

Where to put

Now let’s talk about where and how gas equipment of different capacities can be located. We will talk about gas boilers and water heaters, their power is summed up:

• with a power of up to 150 kW inclusive - in a separate room on any floor, including the basement and basement;
• from 151 kW to 350 kW inclusive - in a separate room on the first, basement or ground floor, as well as in a separate attached room.

More powerful installations are not used in private homes.

Requirements for kitchens in which a gas boiler is installed

When placing a flow-through gas water heater or a gas heating boiler with a power of up to 60 kW in the kitchen, the room must meet the following standards:

• The volume of the room must be at least 15 cubic meters, plus 1 cubic meter for each kilowatt of gas boiler power.
• Ceiling height - at least 2.5 m.
• Availability of ventilation: exhaust hood with a capacity of at least three times the volume of the room;
• the inflow is the same, plus combustion air.

There is one more thing that is not specified in the standards, but which exists: installing a gas boiler is allowed only in a room with doors. In light of the latest trends - removing partitions and making arches instead of doors - this can be a problem. Without a door, the permit will not be signed. The solution is to install sliding (sliding) or folding doors. Another option is glass doors. They do not “load” the interior, but they are perceived exactly as doors.

All these requirements must be met. If there are violations, they simply won’t sign the acceptance certificate for you.

Requirements for individual premises

The requirements for individual boiler rooms are similar, but there are some differences:

• Ceiling height - at least 2.5 m;
• The volume and area of ​​the room are determined by ease of maintenance, but should not be less than 15 m3.
• Walls leading to adjacent rooms must have a fire resistance limit of 0.75 hours and zero limit for the spread of fire through the structure (brick, concrete, building blocks).
• An exhaust hood with the same requirements: for outflow - three times exchange, for inflow in the same volume, plus air for combustion.
• The room must have a window. The glass area is at least 0.03 m2 per cubic meter of volume.

If equipment is installed with a power of 150 kW or more, one of the prerequisites is the presence of access to the street. A second exit can be equipped - to a utility room (not residential). This could be a storage room or a hallway. Doors must be fireproof.

This is how a chimney is removed from a wall-mounted gas boiler with a closed combustion chamber

Please note that when calculating windows, the glass area is considered, not the size of the window opening. Moreover, in some cases they require at least one glass with an area of ​​at least 0.8 square meters. If enlarging the windows is problematic, you can make a similar window in the door (the regulations do not say that it must be in the wall).

How to attach boiler rooms

Sometimes it is not possible to allocate a separate room in the house. In this case, the boiler room is added. The standards for ceiling height, volume, glazing and ventilation remain the same as for individual rooms, only specific standards are added:

• The boiler room is attached to a solid wall. There should be at least a meter to the nearest window or door.
• The walls must be non-flammable. This means they must provide 0.75 hours before ignition (45 minutes). Such materials are brick, concrete, shell rock, cinder block, foam and gas concrete.
• The walls of the extension should not be combined with the main building. That is, the foundation is made separate, incoherent, and all four walls are built.

The extension must be built on a loose foundation.
Please note that the extension must be registered. No one will give you gas without official documents. And one more thing: when designing it, lay down all the standards without deviations, otherwise they won’t accept it. If the installation of a gas boiler is planned in an existing room, they may turn a blind eye to some deviations or offer some compensation (if there is a missing volume or height of the ceilings, they may be asked to increase the glazing area). For newly constructed buildings (and extensions too) there are no such discounts: they must include all standards.

Combined kitchens

Today it has become fashionable to have studio apartments or combine the kitchen with the living room. It turns out to be a single large space in which it is easy to implement design ideas. But the gas service regards such premises as residential and prohibits the installation of gas equipment.

You can install a gas boiler in the kitchen only if there is working ventilation and doors

It will not be possible to solve the problem with a studio apartment, but with a combined apartment there is a solution. If you are just planning to combine the kitchen and living room, when preparing the documents, call the resulting room kitchen-dining room. This premises is not residential, so there will be no restrictions. If the papers have already been completed, you can try to redo them or go the other way - install a sliding partition. True, in this case, the documents will need to be redone.

Heating with solid fuel

When other methods are not suitable for some reason, you have to settle on heating the garage with solid fuels (wood, briquettes, coal, etc.). There are a huge number of options, but the simplest and least expensive is the installation of a small potbelly stove. There is no need to supply gas or a reliable electrical network for its operation.

It is necessary to take into account that heating with a solid fuel stove is an excellent solution for small rooms. In a spacious garage, its operation will be ineffective. You will also need to manually regularly add logs or briquettes into the firebox.

The classic potbelly stove can be replaced with a more complex and expensive design - the Buleryan stove. It is considered the most reliable and productive, but building it yourself can cause a lot of trouble.

When purchasing a solid fuel boiler, you should follow some rules and features of its operation:

1. Do not pour liquid fuel into the furnace, otherwise it will quickly burn out.
2. It is recommended to use paper or special kindling to start a fire.
3. It is necessary to think about arranging a reliable chimney that will be well-insulated; it is recommended to clean it regularly
4. Installation of a solid-state heating boiler must be carried out exclusively on a monolithic base
5. Surfaces near the boiler must be protected from the possibility of spontaneous combustion

Which furnace gas industry will accept without complaints: 11 recommendations to avoid problems with connection

Why is the boiler room actually a furnace room, how to design it and what to equip it with

Heating the house from the main house is the cherished dream of many country residents. The “heart” of such a home is the room where the gas boiler is installed. What requirements do gas services place on a boiler room? And how to design a furnace so that it is approved by the gas industry? We have selected key recommendations from the new Code of Practice and will tell you about them in this material.

What materials and equipment should be in the furnace room?

Everything is written in the Code of Rules:

• The wall-mounted gas boiler in the combustion chamber must be located at least 20 mm from the walls (back and side) made of fireproof materials.
• Walls made of non-combustible materials must additionally be insulated with non-combustible materials that do not support combustion and the spread of flame. In this case, the boiler is located at a distance of 30 mm from the wall. The insulation should extend beyond the dimensions of the equipment by 100 mm on the sides and 0.7 m on top.
• If a gas boiler is placed on a wooden floor, it must be insulated with fireproof materials. The fire resistance limit of the material is at least 45 minutes. The floor insulation must protrude beyond the dimensions of the equipment body by at least 100 mm. Install the equipment in the furnace so that there is easy access to it for operation and repair.

How should a furnace room with a gas boiler be ventilated?

The dimensions of the exhaust and supply channels are determined by calculation based on the following parameters:

• Ventilation of the combustion chamber occurs naturally.
• The hood should provide three air exchanges in the room in 1 hour.
• The inflow is equal to the exhaust volume + the air required for gas combustion.

In which direction should the door from the furnace open?

The door from the room where the gas boiler is installed must open outward.

What size window should be installed in the furnace room?

The window in the furnace room is made on the basis that the glazing area, and not the entire window with frame, is at least 0.03 square meters. m per 1 cubic meter of room volume. Moreover, the window design must meet the requirements set out in GOST R 56288 “Easily removable window structures with double-glazed windows for buildings”

. In short, the window, in the event of a gas explosion in the furnace and exposure to a blast wave, must, under the influence of pressure, open outward. For example, a sash rotates around its axis, or a double-glazed window, or a frame with a double-glazed window moves and falls out.

Where should gas boilers not be placed?

It is not allowed to install gas-using equipment in bathrooms and toilets.

Is it possible to install a gas boiler in the basement?

First, let's define the terms: “basement” and “ground floor.” So,

• Basement floor
  - a floor where the floor level of the premises is below the planning level of the ground by no more than half the height of the room.
• Basement floor
  - a floor where the floor level of the premises is below the planning level of the ground by more than half the height of the room.

SP 402.1325800.2018 states that heat generators running on natural gas can be placed in the basement and basement floors of residential buildings.

Is it possible to install a gas boiler in the kitchen if there is already a gas stove there?

In the kitchen, you can install a gas stove, and hang a modern gas boiler on the wall, for example, a condensing boiler, which goes well with low-temperature heating systems - liquid heated floors. But there are a number of important limitations:

• If the kitchen has a two-burner gas stove and a gas boiler with a closed combustion chamber
  , the volume of the room must be at least 8 m³, with a ceiling height of at least 2.2 m.
• If a four-burner gas stove is installed in the kitchen, you must admit, this is what is done in most cases, and a gas boiler with a closed combustion chamber is installed, then the volume of the room must be at least 15 m³.
• If there is a gas stove in the kitchen and a gas boiler with an open combustion chamber hanging
  , then another 6 m³ is added to the above-mentioned room volumes.

The kitchen should be ventilated using an exhaust system through a window with a window. If the kitchen has a door, then a gap of at least 0.02 square meters is made between it and the floor for air flow. m.

The volume of the combustion chamber must be at least 15 m³, right?

SP 402.1325800.2018 contains clause 5.5. In short, it says - the volume of the combustion chamber must be at least 15 m³, with a ceiling height of no less than 2.5 m.

Is it true that a ceiling height of 2.5 m is required for a gas boiler?

Due to changes in SNiPs and Codes of Regulations of different editions and different years, confusion arises as to what the height of the ceilings in the furnace room should be. Let's turn to SP 402.1325800.2018. It states that the ceiling height in a separate room where a gas heat generator is installed must be no less than 2.5 m, provided that the boiler is operated with an open combustion chamber

.

Gas boiler room, boiler room and furnace room, are they the same thing?

Many are accustomed to calling the premises in private residential buildings where gas heat generators are installed - boiler rooms or boiler rooms. This is not entirely correct. A boiler room is, most often, a separate facility where engineering equipment is located, which generates heat for multi-storey residential buildings and complexes, as well as commercial and industrial buildings. Boiler rooms are subject to more stringent requirements than conventional furnaces.

for cottages.

The combustion room is an individual room where there is a gas heat generator that produces heat for a private home.

SP 402.1325800.2018 has the following description: a heat generator room is a separate non-residential premises where a boiler and additional engineering equipment are installed. Therefore, below, we will call the boiler room the furnace room.

Types of boilers

First, it’s worth considering what types of boilers there are.

1. Gas boilers - it is advisable to purchase when in the utility room there is a possibility of diverting a pipe from the gas main. This fuel is considered the most budget-friendly. The heat carrier is a liquid that is heated by the boiler. Heating is provided by the convection method using a fan.
2. Electric boilers - it is advisable to install them in a room where the coolant is heated by electricity. The operating principle of such a device is that the liquid in the heat exchanger is heated thanks to electric heating elements.

Price range in different regions of Russia

It is no secret that the cost of services differs depending on the territory. Taking into account this factor in general, and the convenience of the location of the facilities, residents of different parts of the country receive bills with a 10-fold difference in figures.

Collecting documentation and obtaining technical specifications will cost from 8 to 50 thousand rubles. The gasification project will be completed for 3-20 thousand. Each meter of wiring from the main pipe will cost 2-5 thousand rubles.

The insert alone costs up to 10-15 thousand in national currency. You will have to pay 1-2 thousand rubles for an inspector to come out and assess the readiness of the equipment. - quite a bit against the general background.

Location of a gas boiler room in a private house, distances

The main condition is to maintain the thickness of the wall connecting the garage and the boiler room, everything else is optional

It is also important to maintain a time period, not immediately after the foundation, start building walls, but wait a year until the foundation settles. This is necessary so that there are no cracks in the walls

Today, construction projects are often rushed, but in vain! - fraught with consequences

Since gas heating is one of the cheapest, the best option for heating a garage is to install just such a system.

Before installing a gas heating system, the following points must be considered:

Since the gas has explosive and flammable properties, it must be handled with great care. This means choosing high-quality gas appliances and having them installed by professionals; Gas heating is best used if the garage is attached to the house, has a gas pipeline nearby, or if it is necessary to provide heat to several garages at once.

No. 1. Project of a garage for two cars with a bathhouse and a canopy

The project will be of interest to those who have 2-3 cars in their family or who often have guests in their own vehicles. True, you will need enough space for construction, so this option is not suitable for very small areas - the dimensions of the building are 12.23 * 13.37 m. Among the features of the project, we note:

• spacious parking space for two cars (area 50.4 m2). There is enough space to organize a storage system for firewood, necessary tools and even gardening tools
• Additionally, there is a carport where you can park a third car;
• the bathhouse part is isolated from the garage and has its own entrance through the vestibule;
• next to the sauna there is a shower room and a relaxation room (16.6 m2), where you can easily place a sofa, a couple of armchairs and a table;
• the project also provides for a boiler room with a separate entrance;
• total area – 84 m2.

The author of the project proposes to build a building from ceramic block (it is characterized by high strength, durability and thermal insulation qualities), finish the walls with plaster, and cover the roof with metal tiles. This solution is perfect for large families, as well as for those who like to spend time in a large company - there are more than enough parking spaces and space for relaxation.

Gas garage heating

It would be very practical and very economical to use gas for heating a garage space. Special heat generators work together with them. In this case, you can use methane, butane or propane, classic natural gas.

To assemble a gas heating garage with your own hands, you should take into account several significant features of the work:

1. The gas cylinder must be installed in a special, reliably insulated cabinet
2. Even if the room is small, you will have to try and set aside a protected corner for installing the required equipment
3. If the garage will not be heated often, you should consider other options.

One of the advantages of gas heating is the availability of equipment on the market and the cost of the coolant, which is one of the cheapest types of fuel.

A little about fire safety

When arranging garage heating with your own hands, you will definitely have to take into account a very important requirement - follow all safety rules. Any equipment is a fire hazard and can cause serious consequences.

The most important requirement is reliable protection of all nearby surfaces. This is especially important when passing through a wall or roof of a chimney pipe.

To eliminate its contact with building structures, it is recommended to make a special sleeve based on mineral wool. Wooden or plasterboard areas will have to be fenced with a metal shield. All gaps are compensated with asbestos cord.

Other tips to consider:

• If heating boilers are used. it is necessary to close the damper to regulate draft only in cases where the fuel has completely burned out and smoldered
• Do not keep flammable substances in the garage, especially if they are located near heating equipment
• Be sure to place a fire extinguisher or other fire extinguishing equipment in the room.
• If the heating system operates constantly or the garage is located in close proximity to the house, it is recommended to equip a fire alarm
• You should not dry any things on heating devices, especially various rags that could come into contact with flammable liquids.
• Storage of gas cylinders is permitted only above the level of the floor surface
• It is not recommended to leave the heating on at night

Connecting electric heaters

It is necessary to think through heating with electric heaters most carefully and competently. If their power is too high, the wiring and the meter are not able to cope with the load, you will have to opt for weaker equipment. You can install new wiring, but such a garage conversion will be too expensive.

Let's look at some features of connecting electric heaters in a garage:

1. The minimum recommended wire cross-section is 2.0 mm, with preference given to copper
2. It is not advisable to use a portable cable to connect electric heaters. If necessary, its length should not exceed 5 m
3. Single-phase electrical wiring can withstand the connection of an electric heater with a power of up to 2.5 kW. Parallel connection of 2 or more devices will cause the voltage to drop to 170 V, which can be very dangerous

Arrangement of a heating system for a medium-sized garage intended for one car starts from a modest 5-6 thousand rubles and can reach a couple of tens. Each owner must evaluate the options considered based on needs and wishes.

To reduce the cost of operating equipment, part of the money should be spent on insulating the walls and ceiling in the room. Work should be carried out outside, otherwise the insulating material may cause a fire.

It is necessary to ensure that there are no holes or cracks through which precious heat will leak out. Roof insulation is best done using expanded clay, while taking care of reliable waterproofing. For walls, foam plastic up to 10 mm thick or non-flammable mineral wool is used.

Features of installation of floor and wall models

To heat the garage, floor-mounted or wall-mounted gas boilers are used. To place floor models on a pre-leveled surface, it is necessary to build a support platform made of heat-resistant brick or concrete. To make the installation of the boiler even more stable, you can make a small pocket in the floor. There is no need for this if the boiler comes with a special stand for floor mounting.

To install wall-mounted units, the nearest sections of the walls must be finished with fire-resistant material. The stove should be fixed so that its position corresponds to the vertical and horizontal levels. The nearest wall or element of furniture should be at a distance of 30-50 cm from it for fire safety purposes and ease of access.

Connection to water and gas pipelines

Upon completion of all installation work, the boilers are connected to the circulation pipelines. Before doing this, turn off the water supply and prepare the mounting flanges or threaded couplings. To additionally seal the joints, tow is used.

Pipes are connected to floor-standing and wall-mounted boilers in different ways:

• to the first - from above and from the side;
• to the second - from the transverse side.

If necessary, ball valves are installed in areas where coolant is supplied to radiators. If the garage heating is not equipped with an electric pump, then the pipes must be at a slope of up to 5 mm per linear meter, otherwise there will be difficulties with the natural circulation of water in the main.

Piping diagram for a double-circuit gas boiler. Click on photo to enlarge.

After connecting the pipelines, a test run of the system is carried out to check the furnace for operability and make sure that the tightness of the joints is not broken in any area. If necessary, additional sealing is performed.

Connection to the gas pipeline

This type of work is carried out only by gas service employees who have special tools and sealing materials to completely eliminate gas leakage during equipment operation. At the same time, installation of KTP, gas meter, taps and other fittings is carried out.

A plan for laying gas pipes into the garage boiler room must be developed in advance and approved by the competent authority. The project must describe in detail all aspects of gasification and technical nuances of this premises. If boilers are connected unauthorized or in non-compliance with the gasification plan and current standards, this may result in gas being turned off and a fine being imposed.

Choice of fuel by cost

In many cases, the determining condition for choosing fuel for heating a garage is the price of the issue. According to this indicator, preferences largely depend on the region in which the garage is located.

The cost of one kW/hour of consumed electricity varies in different regions, as does the price of other coolants. If she ? 2 rubles, then electric heaters are the best option in all respects, including heating costs.

For the southern regions of Russia with warm winters that continue? 2 months The option with electric heating is preferable, even at prices per kW/hour of 5 rubles. Moreover, in such a case, constant monitoring is not required.

The disadvantage of wood heating in garages is the requirement to install the boiler in a separate room. In addition to air heaters. But the latter are used exclusively to increase the temperature in the garage when performing maintenance and repairs on the car.

Based on the results of the analysis, the final decision on choice is made. After this, specific steps are taken to prepare for the start of work: the necessary materials and equipment are purchased, the issue of tools is resolved, the required approvals are carried out, etc.

Bathhouse with red brick facade

Architects and designers did a good job on the external appearance of the bath house. They managed to give the building a solid and impressive look, which was agreed on the first time at the initial stage of cooperation. The design of a red brick bathhouse bears the features of modern architecture. The brick on the façade alternates with wood and plaster inserts, thereby creating a play of contrast. The harmony of the color scheme characterizes the owner of the building as a person of status and excellent taste.

The shape of the bathhouse is unusual, with a complex roof, which made it possible to profitably use the useful space. We proposed a win-win option - a full-fledged bath house, in which the external attractiveness is organically intertwined with its internal versatility, and the aesthetic appearance of the building attracts attention coupled with an indescribable atmosphere of unity with nature.

PROJECT No. 2 – STANDARD WITH TWO ENTRANCES

A more common placement of cars in a double garage is mutually parallel.
However, if there is not enough space on the site for a square building, or the site has an elongated rectangular shape, it is better to choose a garage design that involves sequential placement of cars. The total area of ​​the building is 53 sq.m.

• Type of walls – combined on a columnar foundation;
• Exterior finishing – siding;
• The roofing material is metal tiles.

The advantages of this project are the presence of two separate gates and an additional exit with a low porch and canopy.
To the disadvantages

This includes the lack of additional space for shelving and the impressive length – more than 10 m.

Fire safety rules

Many people ignore safe installation rules, thereby endangering people and property around them. To ensure safety during operation of the stove, you should strictly adhere to fire protection rules and observe the correct installation of the stove in the garage.

To avoid a possible fire, you should adhere to the rules given below:

1. The floor and nearby walls must be made of non-combustible material: concrete, brick, metal or ceramics. Special heat-resistant plates made of fire-resistant material are also used.
2. The stove itself must be made of reliable and proven materials.
3. Under no circumstances should there be any substances or materials near the stove that are easily flammable or may explode.
4. The garage must have normal ventilation to ensure removal of combustion products in case of smoke.
5. You should not install the stove close to the car; the distance should be no less than 1.5 meters.

In fact, garage ventilation should be a top priority. Due to insufficient oxygen, a fire can burn weakly, causing serious carbon monoxide poisoning or other serious and tragic consequences.

Exhaust ventilation must be present and in good condition. This will protect the garage from fire and prevent people present from getting hurt.

How long does it take for a garage to cool down and how to achieve above-zero temperatures in cold weather?

High-quality insulation and sealing significantly reduces the cost of heating a garage. While it simply doesn’t make sense to heat a metal garage without thermal insulation, maintaining a positive temperature in brick buildings is quite possible.

High-quality automation will reduce heating costs and turn on the heating only to maintain the specified temperature.

Important

The main heat loss in any garage occurs through metal gates and the roof, so special attention should be paid to insulating these areas

For work in an uninsulated metal garage, only a directional UV heater is suitable, which is not designed to warm up the entire room, but maintains heat only in a certain area of ​​the garage.

Difficulties connecting to the gas network

It will be easiest if the gasification program includes a residential building with a garage next to it or next to it. Areas within or near large cities are more likely to receive gas. In principle, there are no direct legal prohibitions on bringing gas into the garage - both for the use of gas boilers and for the use of other appliances.

However, there are still theoretical grounds for refusal. They are the specifics of the terrain and distance.

Connecting an isolated plot is accompanied by obstacles, but the owner in any case has the right to lay gas to his property

Connecting unfinished structures to gas networks is accompanied by insurmountable difficulties. If the site of the new building was old and already gasified, and there is no need to lay a branch line, changes will be needed to the existing design documentation for the facility.

The schematic plan will be issued by the technical inventory bureau (BTI) of the local administrative-territorial unit. The problem is that the drawing must have an area, and the BTI carries out measurements only after the ownership of the new premises has been presented.
