With a quick look at the merits of the various styles of heating on the market, we can help narrow the field a little '.

If gas stoves, electric heaters or propane heaters, just ask yourself a fewQuestions can help you choose the heater that suits your needs:

Gas or electric? What is best for your area?
How many square feet you're trying to heat?
Prefer radiant heat or convection?
Which special features would most benefit for you?

Choosing the right fuel

To make the first decision is whether you buy an electric heater or a gas such as propane, kerosene or natural gas. WhenYou want a relatively small internal heat, is the best choice is usually an electric heater. Electric Heaters course requires an electrical outlet that some of their applications in open borders. However, there is no worry about dangerous fumes of carbon monoxide with electric heaters.

Gas heating may be the best option when the heating of an outdoor space or a large covered area, such as a patio or garage. Usually emit more heat thanElectric heaters, and are usually much more efficient.

Choose the right heater for the square footage

When heating bedrooms, bathrooms, and other minor interior, electrical heating is usually the best option. However, larger areas often require the power of gas-powered heater. A rule of thumb, the heating of the furnace needed (measured in BTU) to determine the square footage of the room, multiply by 5. TheResponse, the BTU rating you should look for when purchasing a heater.

Convection Radiant compared – What is the difference?

Radiation and convection – stoves can generally be divided into two types of heat transfer. Radiant heat warms you like the Sun The objects in his line of sight, rather than heats the surrounding air in the room. In contrast, the use of heating coils and coils and supply fans to circulate hot airin the room.

Radiant heaters provide heat for faster, why not wait to heat the entire room, but can be blocked by objects in space. If you're in a room with several departments or lots of furniture that block heat from a heat source, you might want to buy rather than convection heating. From convection air heaters use radiant heaters for outdoor spaces.

Security features and other concerns

Asexpect, security is a primary concern for the purchase portable heaters. To be sure, a heater that has an automatic shut-off mechanism to acquire, if spilled. If you buy a gas stove, some models the possibility of concentrations of carbon monoxide in the air must recognize and automatically shuts off when levels are too high.

Regardless of which model you buy, be sure to read and follow all safety instructions. It can also be a good idea to checkHome insurance. Occasionally, the policy is to exclude stoves, it might be your homework first!

Bans on smoking and outdoor patio heater

Bans on smoking and outdoor patio heater


Bans on smoking and outdoor patio heater

Posted: 21 Aug 2011 11:20 AM PDT

The increase in outdoor patio heaters

In the UK, has spent the hospitality industry, including pubs, bars and restaurants at £ 85,000,000 for outdoor patio heaters indoor smoking ban was introduced. This was an inevitable consequence of forcing smokers to quit? Increase in sales of commercial garden patio heaters probably expected a side effect of forcing those who smoke cigarettes, so there. This isnot to say that I disagree with the smoking ban. But go to a large part of the stimulus, pubs and bars for many people is to have a drink while enjoying the smoke. Therefore, to ensure that they do not lose their jobs, took this kind of company a reasonable business decision and invested money in large sums of money on their outdoor patio heaters. Although it is reassuring to think that you have this for the goodness of their hearts, there is no such thing. Instead, it is simply a business decision thatmany pubs and bars to feel useful in terms of bottom line. If you encourage people to continue their foundation, even if they are not able to smoke at home more often then they are still able to make profits.

Politics and patio heaters

Politics, health and the environment are not mutually exclusive to exclude all. To protect the decision in the political arena as a means to human health, unfortunately, has a negative effect on knockingthe environment. But the patio heater manufacturing sector managed to increase production and profits. This is just to show how seemingly unrelated fields can do with each other and our life was getting more mixed.

Now it is suggested that placing a ban on smoking as a ban on patio heaters are. This is an interesting "answer" to environmental problems through the use of outdoor heaters supplied. NaturallyIf this policy was adopted some other unexpected side effect can become quite clear. One possible outcome of this would be the scenario in which smokers to quit out of time, forcing a loss of business information for the hotel industry some pubs, bars and restaurants go out of business results. This could have a role in the contraction of the economy. Another result of a ban on patio heaters could be that smokers decide that their habit is not really worth all the pain ofwith out the cold and then quit. This would translate into a positive balance, which is less pressure on hospitals to treat people for diseases related to smoking, and so people are waiting for the treatment of other problems might be seen quicker. These two results are only hypothetical, to demonstrate that political decisions are not made in a vacuum.

Environmental impact of patio heaters

Despite all the debate around the themeOutdoor garden patio heaters, it must be remembered that there are some facts that are known for their use. An organization such as energy saving trust, that a propane patio heater with an energy source known to shift output 15.5kW off to 34.9kg of carbon dioxide over a period of 13 hours. This type of energy release is enough to make 400 cups of tea for every hour the heater is used to make. This is just to show how energy-hungry thisThe devices are. The fact that literally send hot air directly into the atmosphere and pollution is a concern for all who are concerned about the environment.

Ventless gas log fireplaces for the design Backyard

Ventless gas log fireplaces for the design Backyard


Ventless gas log fireplaces for the design Backyard

Posted: 16 Aug 2011 10:20 AM PDT

Increasingly, customers who have prepared me want fireplaces in their backyards. Especially in this economy, as owners of houses and apartments to maximize their real estate investments, as it is an oasis "staycation" backyard always enjoy the outdoors. Fireplaces are traditionally thought of as a wood stove, but homeowners more and more with gas logs as an alternative to the simple and beautiful fireplace.

Fireplaces can be complexeven if we are outside the building. The atmosphere is built around a fireplace comforting, reassuring. The crackle and pop of the wood and the smell that permeates the whole court added pleasure that the heating function. However, the creation of a custom fireplace expensive and complicated. In addition to the hearth and mantle, which we plan to design a costume, a fireplace and chimney will be built through the roof and ended up above the roof line. For manyOwners of houses and apartments we have worked with the costs of cutting through a roof, and the laws and controls on a roof and re-closing of the construction cost of a fireplace, place the project outside of an acceptable budget.

Sun decides to house a blanket in the large marble and the construction of seven meters to four meters in height. To finish the construction of the budget takes account of the marble tiles for the design and the firebox, the materials and labor for the fireplace. Most people do not lookFireplace and think "Wow, this a great looking fire" we do not always account for ventilation, if we design our perfect outdoor accent. The vent can not be ignored simply because it is good ventilation in the open. The flue gas is correct "pull" the fumes and smoke up and away from the chimney. Without the exhaust gas from the front of the fireplace and the area reserved for flow normally to sit before the fire is hot and smelly. The house to contact aEntrepreneur of the chimney and termination of the roof is said to double the budget.

I've been in this situation many times and the answer is often gas logs. I have customers with damage to their fireplace in a wall and think they can, a gas fireplace log kit their fireplace, but blocked the chimney repair damaged. This is a mistake and a dangerous mistake. Gas logs liquid propane or natural gas use in place of wood as fuel. When it burns the gas,The oxygen is burned and produces carbon monoxide. If there is damage to the exhaust gas log fireplace is a typical non-answer, because the fresh air intake is still necessary, by carbon monoxide.

The answer is ventless gas logs. Vent free gas logs must be vented. If a customer wants to design their own fire pit, but do not want to build a chimney and cut off his roof terrace, is a ventilated gas log kit is the perfect solution because there is no ventilationnecessary.

Ventless gas logs are designed for indoor use and have several security features that make them safe in your home. Manufacturer of ventless gas logs have a limit on the amount of BTU's burned, the register is the size limits of unvented gas burner over 30 ". The size of the combustion chamber, which would be handy to keep a 30" gas burner 42 "to 48" which is still a large fireplace. A pilot plant standing lights and the heating is monitored by a thermocouple. When the flames go out to allTherefore, the thermocouple cools and stops at the gas valve. The lack of oxygen sensors, which are attached to the gas valve so that the flames do not burn oxygen at home so that unsafe conditions are created.

Outside, a ventless gas log can not carry oxygen or fill your home with gas, but another group of questions takes place. Oxygen sensors can get the pollen and dust and the wind can confuse the pilot installation provide the ability to continuously heat the thermocouple. The design of thethe fireplace and place logs with a professional should be to minimize these possibilities are discussed. These problems do not risk the safety of your family, but when the thermocouple, the pilot thinks, because of the wind direction of the flame in a different direction, the gas stove is turned off. A trained installer manipulates the holder of some problems of wind and the position of the sensor of oxygen depletion, so that they become clogged with pollen andPowder.

The advantage of a fireplace log ventless gas on the practicality and cost. The process of building an adequate ventilation and a fire can often double the cost of custom indoor and outdoor fireplaces. Convenience is the ability to create a perfect image of the flame as easy as turning on a grid. Many gas log fireplaces are options that can change the valve complex variable flame height remote control, on / off remote control, wall switch and thermostat controllers,light the fireplace on and off depending on the temperature reading on the thermostat. I commend each of these valves in your garden. A manual safety pilot kit is a light that stays up forever. Until the flame burns, the fire can be controlled with a simple knob. Some cones, decorative ceramic pieces of wood or hide the controls. Remote controls, switches, thermostatic control valves and other batteries. A gas fireplace logs, which is under aLedge will be affected by moisture in the air. Here in Florida where the humidity is huge, a valve within a year the battery will corrode in most gardens.

The correct positioning and good design will ensure a nice fireplace at an affordable price. Years ago, ventless gas logs are only for indoor applications, where it was impossible to put a chimney fan. Innovations in design and log burners that burn so clean that unvented fumes were caused only very fewGas-log is a much more attractive. Fire effects that are not broken with ceramic logs burn, but the fire glass, ceramics, fire shapes, river stones or do not have anything to modern design for contemporary homes that do not want a fireplace Gas access to appear, around a fireplace to be developed. These fire effects are gaining in popularity both inside and outside in the courtyard.

Ethanol fireplaces are also an exciting new application. Ethanol burners are rectangular containers with slotsor enable ports in the tip to keep the burning flame of alcohol. Many ethanol burner can burn for 4-6 hours before running out against them, and a heat shield, which can be used to extinguish the flame. Ethanol is functional, beautiful and simply because they do not need ventilation, requires no gas lines for the home and creates a strong pattern over high heat.

We build custom fireplaces for many homeowners and there are always strengths and weaknesseseach option. In my experience, many customers are using ventless gas fireplace logs in the open, despite the limitations of a product placement in the indoor courtyard involved satisfied. The lack of a chimney and venting system saves time and money. Vent free gas logs are attractive as a wood stove and vented fireplaces and gas logs are safely indoors and outdoors. If you are thinking of doing their own fire pit in your garden or if you are consideringsomething to make your home more enjoyable resort, ventless fireplace gas log that is convenient, safe, easy, and can completely change the space you use outside.

It is now affordable than the electric oven, gas is becoming increasingly accessible, where the gas supply is plentiful. The downside is that the fuel burning generates smoke. In furnaces that are well maintained, the exhaust gases trapped in the heat exchanger and passes through an exhaust port. It should be noted, however, that a gas furnace should be examined by a qualified technician at least once a year. The oven must have for any cracks or leaks would be assessedThe carbon monoxide entering the room served by the gas stove.

The efficiency of gas furnaces is determined by the degree of annual fuel utilization efficiency or AFUE rating. This is an overview of how efficiently the fuel is consumed. A higher AFUE rating means that it takes less fuel to heat your room. In 1992 he placed a rating of at least 78% of the government. High-efficiency gas furnaces have AFUE range of 96% at times. To increase comfort and efficiency, use some ovensA two-stage valve and a variable speed motor with high efficiency and convenience for effective action.

The two speed gas furnaces in the house allows temperature to be consistent. Var-cap or variable capacity furnaces provide the dual benefit of comfort and efficiency. A two-speed gas furnaces can operate at low speed. The longer running periods less than start / stop cycle, which includes most of timeless design and swing to keep the temperature of 2 degrees to 4 degrees for one speedUnits. Its engine runs your needs by adjusting the air volume and speed automatic.

Propane Stove is an economic issue. This allows a cost-fuel operation and is suitable for easy maintenance. It is much more robust. When electric heat pumps, propane stoves last 8 to 10 years longer than that. In 2007, propane costs almost 50% less per BTU than electricity. Propane furnaces deliver air at a constant temperature hottemperatures above 120deg. F. supply of electric heat pumps, propane air at 95 deg.F. is readily available and is considered the environment.

Propane furnaces offer many advantages over other gas ovens. They can be downloaded either horizontally or vertically, eliminating the need for a chimney. The exhaust is cooler and PVC pipe can be used. Last propane stoves are compact and can be used in small spaces. Most popular among these is the centralPropane forced air heating furnaces.

Solar heated pool

Posted: 13 Aug 2011 06:20 AM PDT

Consumers are getting smarter these days. For example, an average homeowner would have decided to install a swimming pool in the garden of good wishes for an above ground swimming pool. This is a relatively inexpensive type of pool, which can be moved to another location, because it is not attached to a component. Similarly, there is a growing concern are encouraged by the environment and the people who go green in their lives decide. Go green is to choose the options, and not damage theinstead of protecting the environment.

With an above ground pool, saving money on their home purchase price for the kit and installation. The next challenge is to maximize the investment. Extend your swimming season, one possibility is the equivalent for their money, but that means adding a heater to your pool. From the swimming pool water warm and welcoming from most of the year will ensure that you, your family and friends to enjoy swimming more months before gettingand after the summer.

In this way, the pool owner to choose between a gas and electric heat pumps and solar heating. From the point of view of rising energy costs and environmental characteristics, we compare these three systems of heating the pool.

Solar pool heating is comparable to an electric heat pump in relation to the initial estimate. While the initial cost for both systems is only about the same, the long-term benefits of solar pool heating, when operatingalmost no cost, except himself for the purchase of heating. A heat pump uses electricity to operate and can result in electricity bills for owners of swimming.

Solar pool-heating systems use the free energy of the sun and put any other energy source. You can indirectly use electricity to run a pool filter pump, but the main aim is to clean the pool through the filtration process.

Compared to a gas-powered heater, solar pool heating systems may cost more initially, butA gas stove can cost more to operate and maintain. As natural gas or propane stoves use as a fuel, owners will pool every time they need to combine their distributors cost. In areas where natural gas is not available, can be more expensive than propane more expensive than natural gas.

With moving parts, is a gas stove to break more likely leads to additional costs for repair or replacement of spare parts.

If we look at long-termImpact on the environment emits a gas-powered pool heating harmful gases into the air, while heating systems, solar pool with renewable, clean energy from the sun, that there was no damage to the environment.

Although it is not harmful gases, a heat pump can also indirectly damage the environment, as it uses electricity to operate.

With these factors in mind, smart pool owners should probably consider, instead of solar pool heating. They offer a good option for a pool EconomicHeating system that respects the environment.

Infrared Heating – Save on your energy bill

Infrared Heating – Save on your energy bill


Infrared Heating – Save on your energy bill

Posted: 12 Aug 2011 06:01 AM PDT

You will need an additional heater to supplement the central heating? Sometimes it just makes no sense to turn the temperature throughout the house, so you can heat the room you're in. And again 'much better to use an additional heater. Infrared heating can be of great help. Discover what are the advantages of infrared heating systems compared to other heating systems.

Infrared heater efficiency

Most heaters work by heating the air inSpace. The people in the room are heated by the air. Not only the cost of energy heating the air, but do not feel the benefits when the stove is on. It may take several minutes to warm up a room. Infrared heaters work differently. Do not heat the air it heats objects directly in the path represents. Consequently, the people of the area are not directly heated by the heater and through the air.

This principle allows infrared emitter is very energy-intensivemore efficient. Another advantage is that you do not have the heating on for half an hour or an hour in advance once again to heat the room. You can feel the heat immediately.

Types of infrared emitters

Here are the most popular types of infrared emitters:

– Metal-sheathed tubular heating elements

– Quartz Tubes

– Quartz Lamps

– Gas-Catalytic

– Flat panels

– Ceramic Heaters

Often they are worried that infrared heaters are not safe. SinceThere is really no reason for concern. Modern infrared lamps have a protective sheath to cover the heating elements. The cover is usually made of metal such as aluminum, brass, copper, iron or steel. Curtains blowing will not be a fire hazard with an infrared emitter. Most home models are pretty safe, but of course children are not allowed to play with the heater.

Another advantage is that the infrared heat makes the air in the room dry. The principlehis work is very similar to the sun warms us on a sunny day.

Here you will find infrared heaters, and indoor and outdoor patio heaters. The fuel source may be different than infrared heating can run electricity, natural gas or propane.

More tips for efficient heating

With an additional heater infrared, you can save on your electric bill. But there's more you can do. First, check for drafts and boost the insulation.At the beginning of winter, make sure that windows are kept and the storm windows in good shape. You should also check thermostats and install timers for your central heating.

Start-up costs

The initial costs involved with a gas heater is surprisingly low. The cost for the device itself is very diverse, but mainly determined by the size of your pool. A large pool requires more than heating. Of course, a swimming pool in Alaska is going to take a little more effort that the same pool heater in Phoenix! A heater will increase as the temperature of the pool faster, but once you arrive at the comfortable temperature, it takes much less effort to keep them standing.

The actual costs for the purchase of a gas heater has to be somewhere between $ 1,000 and $ 3,000 plus about $ 150 to $ 850 for professional installation. You can install it yourself? Yes, apart from any electrical or gas to the rest of the installation is easy enough for anyone to hand with some basic tools. Some changes in PVC pipe are all that is necessary to insert> Heating between the existing pool filter and pool. Basic instructions that give you the idea of ​​the task, at the end of this article can be found, so that you can decide if it is your skill.

Running costs

There are two choices with regard to the supply of gas for heating the pool. The heater you buy depends on the type of gas used is quite important. If you have gas piped to your house, this is natural gas(OR city gas) and is the cheapest option. Otherwise, you will be using gas cylinders, propane and more expensive. Propane double to the cost of natural gas. With a pool cover will cut heating costs by 80% and this applies to any heating system. One point that should not be underestimated, in a pool cover INVEST.

A second ongoing cost that is often overlooked is the cost of maintenance. Pool heating gases are not too bad, but there are stillcalcification and perhaps will be some damage from chemical imbalances. Heat exchangers are much better than they were, as the technology improves, but an out-of-equilibrium pool can still do damage. An annual service can be a good preventative measure – usually there is a maintenance program in the manual supplied with the heater. A well-maintained gas heater should last 5 to 10 years.

Efficiency

Gas heaters modern swimming pool can be run upabout 95% efficiency. This means that for every $ 100 you spend on gas, you get $ 95 worth of heat in your bathtub. It was not too long ago most of the gas pool heating for 50%, there are significant improvements over the years, they have. This efficiency may be low compared with the efficiency of a heat pump heater to about 400% to 500%, but there are other reasons to use gas stoves as heat pumps. For example, heat pumps stop working at 45 degrees F anddown and have a shorter life. Technological advances in heat exchangers used in gas stoves are efficient and durable.

Simplicity

One of the great things about a gas stove is its simplicity. There is not much in terms of electronics and other embedded witchcraft. Since there is less to go wrong they tend to heat pumps are smoothly for a long period, which is subject to interference can be easily compared because ofyou can go wrong. Perhaps more fundamentally, is all that you have a gas burner and a heat exchanger with a temperature controller to adjust the gas – less electronics is equivalent to less problems.

Speed

Gas heaters are more effective when heating swimming pool by a low temperature, which makes them ideal for those who want a pool, use only occasionally. For example, you can increase the temperature of a pool of 30,000 gallons of about 20 degrees Fahrenheit within 24 hoursgas stove with a swimming pool with a capacity of about 400,000 BTUs. Maintaining a temperature once reached requires much less power – especially if you use a pool cover.

In short, gas stoves for a very good all-round way to raise the temperature of your pool. You'll quickly raise the temperature of application and will operate at temperatures well below freezing. They are simple and have a pretty good life expectancy, if properly cared for. I'm prettyboth the costs before you buy and run, in combination with the use of a cover. With the right advice on choosing a gas heated pool and a swimming season long and satisfying, without affecting the most important in your bank account.
