In our time a person is very used to highthe level of comfort, so life in a country house in the absence of communication systems to a modern person is simply not possible. What kind of communication should be present in a comfortable country house? Before construction, it is necessary to think about such communications as: electricity supply, hot and cold water supply, sewerage, heating (if you are going to visit the house in winter) and ventilation.
If you do not figure out how to spend all thesecommunication, the building of your house can be dragged on for a long time due to the constant need for redesign, which in turn will require new financial costs. The costs of acquiring and installing communications are usually about 15-20% of the cost of building a house. For this reason, it is necessary to carefully consider the design of all communication systems at the stage of developing a plan for your future cottage, which will ensure you a long and efficient work for a long period of time.
The house is supplied with electricity.
Lighting, the work of electrical appliances, without whichmodern man can not comfortably exist, all this is provided by electricity, so it is very important that the house has electricity. The electricity supply system includes:
• External connection to the electricity systemthrough the flap or counter. The connection can be of two types: operating from a power plant or a gasoline generator and operating after connecting to posts standing on the street.
• Arrangement of cable and nodal points inside the house, plus the installation of bulbs, sockets (the place of output of wires), and the connection of a 1000 kW DGU from ZAO "Alternativa" in the event of a power outage.
Depending on what is in your cottagethere will be walls, the method of wiring the electric network is chosen. If the house is wireframe, then the electrical network is carried out inside the walls. In houses made of brick or concrete, it is "hidden" under a layer of plaster. In the houses of the blocks do strobes. Wires can be made from the outside of the walls, masking them with a cable duct. Only after wiring the power grid can you plan lighting.
Water supply.
There are three ways to conduct a water pipe. First - connection to the central water supply. The second is drilling a well. The third is to dig a well. If you want to connect to the central water supply, then first you need to get permission, and then you can start using it. With a well or a well is a little more difficult. You will also need permission at the beginning. However, you still need to install a pumping station and ensure its continuous operation, which will require additional financial costs. Only after this you can use the system. Conduct water to the house using pipes made of metal (mainly copper) or pipes of chlorinated polyvinylchloride (CPVC). Plumbing is chosen on the basis of your own desires, but it is better to choose the plumbing of one type and the manufacturer.
Heating.
Heating systems are of different types - electric, air-water, stove heating.
Electric heating has only one minus. This disadvantage is its high cost.
However, it is water heating that is usedmost often to provide heat to country houses. If you are going to use this method, then you can save by combining the heating and water heating system. In this case, you will use one boiler for these two purposes.
Another way is hidden floor orplinth heating ducts, connecting to the battery through the collector. For such a system, polymer tubes are most often used, which are easy to assemble and stand out for their strength. This system is gaining increasing popularity among the owners of country cottages.
Sewerage.
This system includes two parts -internal and external. Internal means the drain of used water into the total sewage discharge, and the external conclusion of all this into the central sewerage or cesspool.
Ventilation.
The ventilation system can be of three types -active, passive and mixed. If the walls are decorated with materials that do not allow air to pass through, and windows are of high quality, then the passive system will not work for you, so ventilation devices are simply necessary in your home.
