A TASK:
1. Calculate which fuel you should use for HEATING your home.
2. Calculating the FULL cost of heating, washing, cooking is not the task.
================================================== ===============
Your own home is an unthinkable dream for an American, but if they have a lot of dollars and built a house, they must be able to calculate which fuel is cheaper for heating ...
Now let's try ....
You should understand the following questions very clearly:
These questions are INTERNATIONAL, therefore they are the same for Russia, Europe and Ameria ..
THEORY
================================================== ===============
1. Types of fuel:
- Natural gas (Methane)
- Balloon gas (Propane + Butane)
- Electricity
- Firewood
These types of fuel are "indicative", that is, if you calculate the costs for them, then you can calculate the costs for other fuel: gasoline, diesel fuel, coal, wood pellets and so on ...
================================================== ===============
2. Equipment for these types of heating:
2.1 Natural gas - gas boiler (1) + water heating circuit + radiators
2.2 Balloon gas - gas boiler (2) + water heating circuit + radiators
2.3 Electricity:
- Electric boiler + water heating circuit + radiators
- Electric heater without boiler (there are a lot of options)
2.4. Firewood:
- Brick stove with accumulation of heat
- Metal furnace "slow burning" without accumulation
The fireplace (Камин) is not considered, as this is not a source of heating, but complete nonsense ...
================================================== ===============
3. The cost of connection, installation, purchase of equipment, depreciation, repair and maintenance (so far, I will write briefly, but then I will tell you about real figures)
3.1 Natural gas is a very expensive connection! The equipment is inexpensive, but it requires constant repairs. It serves no more than 10 years
3.2 Balloon gas - Free connection (gasholder) The equipment is expensive, requires constant repairs. It serves no more than 10 years
3.3 Electricity - Connection depends on the Laws of the Country (In Russia - for free) The equipment is cheap, does not require permanent repairs. It serves more than 20 years
3.4 Firewood
- The cost of a brick kiln depends on your preferences. Requires repair every year. Serves your whole life
- The cost of a metal furnace is small. Requires repair every year. Serves 5 years
================================================== ===============
4. Other expenses, about which everyone forgets:
4.1 Trunk gas - in order to have such a gas, you must register your home as a "connection to a common network" (in Russia - a capital house). You will pay huge taxes
4.2 - 4.4 All the rest - small taxes
