So, by location, boilers are:

Detached - are separate buildings connected to the house only by engineering communications. This is the best solution, because in this case you are not limited in choosing a heating boiler, the boiler room will not in any way disturb the peace of people living in the house.
Attached boiler rooms are separate buildings that are adjacent to the house with one wall.
Built-in boiler rooms are always located in one of the rooms of the house. In accordance with safety regulations, not every heating unit can be installed in a house.

Primary requirements

A maximum of two boilers can be used in one boiler room. Supply and exhaust ventilation, and accordingly the chimney, must comply with the power and design of the installed unit for heating the living space.

Do not store any combustible materials or substances in the boiler room!

The walls can be built of concrete or brick. The floor can be covered with a metal sheet, it can also be laid stoneware tiles or simply leave concrete. As for the walls, they can be revetted with non-combustible mineral plaster or tile. The door of the boiler room must have fireproofing properties. There must always be enough space around the boiler for ease of operation and maintenance. The size of the room for the boiler is determined in the technical documentation. In this article you will learn how to build a universal, detached boiler house.

Construction of a detached boiler house

First, you should take care of the presence of the house ground loop. To do this, drive into the ground 4 metal pipes having a diameter of 57 mm along the perimeter. The depth of the hammering is 3 m, after that the pipes need to be interconnected, this can be done by welding. Make a connection to the grounding of the house loop by connecting it with steel bars having a diameter of 12 mm.

After the strip foundation is ready, you can proceed to the construction of load-bearing walls, while in the lower or upper part of the wall it is important to provide an opening for ventilation. The boiler room must have its own walls, which are a separate structure that is not connected to the house. In order to prevent any missteps, buy equipment for heating the house, in the passport of which the basic requirements for construction are spelled out.

Safety of people's lives depends on how clearly the boiler room meets the requirements!

Now you should install the section of the pipeline before lowering. It is worth noting that the descent itself is done only by experts of the relevant organization. However, provide a hole in advance during the construction of the boiler room. If the room should be large, then it is better to make two small windows. This will provide an opportunity to ventilate the room, if necessary. In addition, a more uniform natural lighting of the boiler room is organized in this way.

When building a boiler room, it is extremely important to provide ventilation arrangement. To do this, make a hole in the upper part of the bearing wall. It is worth noting that ventilation can be not only the top, but also the bottom. The most effective way to make a combined ventilation system.

In the boiler room with a gas boiler, you cannot install a forced ventilation system. The minimum width of the entrance door also matters, it should not be narrower than 80 cm.

Overlap device

In the event of an accident, the overlap will serve as a valve that will protect the structure from an explosion, which means that it should be light. You can not think that it will be cold. It will be necessary to attach a ceiling ceiling to the lags. Make it from boards, 30 mm thick. After this, it is necessary to lay bituminized paper on which a layer of sawdust should be poured. Inside the ceiling, trim with insulating material having a thickness of 4 mm. And then install the crate.

Boards and lathing must be necessarily treated with fire and bioprotective agents.

After the construction of the building of the boiler house itself is completed, it is necessary to arrange it, having completed the finishing works. Plaster all walls and level the floor.

Finishing features

Interior decoration should be of high quality.

Walls. Along the perimeter, glue them with insulating materials. Install the bars for air gaps. On the bars in the future and will be fastened PVC panel.
Floor. It can be left cement, but if you want to keep this room clean, it is better to lay ceramic granite tiles on the floor.

For arranging the smooth operation of a double-circuit boiler, a place should be provided for bringing cold water to the boiler and, accordingly, bringing hot water from it to the house.

If an electric boiler is installed

The electric boiler is the safest unit for heating a house. The coolant in this boiler does not emit products of combustion, and, therefore, ventilation for its arrangement is not needed. Electric boilers are easy to install, easy to maintain and maintain. The efficiency of electric boilers in many cases reaches 99%. Units work almost silently. The disadvantage of the boiler - the complete dependence on electricity. In addition, for a house with an area of 200 m²A 20 kW boiler is required.

Features of the room for installation of a solid fuel boiler

The explosion hazard of solid fuel boilers is minimized, so there are few requirements for the premises intended for their installation. The fuel to the boiler needs to be reloaded regularly, which means that access to it must always be free. The distance between the wall and the unit must be at least 10 cm. A steel sheet is laid on the floor in front of the firebox. The floor, as well as the walls, must be finished with non-combustible materials. The window for a boiler house with a solid fuel boiler is calculated in accordance with the following formula: 8 cm is needed for 1 kW of boiler power² square window.

As for the chimney, special holes should be provided for cleaning and checking it. The shaft of the chimney must have a minimum of knees and the same section in length. It is important to plaster the surface of the chimney from the inside or insert an asbestos-cement pipe into the shaft.

Requirements for a boiler room with a gas boiler

Boiler room area must be at least 6 m²while its volume can not be less than 15 m³.
Natural ventilation must be installed in the boiler room.
The height in the gas boiler room should be at least 2.5 m.
The window must have an area of at least 0.5 m².
For emergency drains and condensate collection, you need to bring the boiler room to the sewage system.
The chimney should be above the ridge of the roof. The chimney should be equipped with additional channels for cleaning.
