Budget heating a country house. one oven in the house without a small plate. The second is in the boiler room, the boiler is too big happened. From October to April, both stoked the stove every day. September, may - a day or less, depending on the temperature. Stoke dry pine slabs from the sawmill, because free. Hence the flow rate increased. Birch leaves usually less. Geographically The Southern Baikal. In November, the week was -30 in December, the week of table -37 in January, the fourth day -30. -42 expected in a week. Neighbors flush two or three times a day. I flush once a day. In the evening, 5-6 hours in the temperature in the house drops to 20-21 degrees. At this time both flood the stove. The furnace in the house close in 4-5 hours. In the boiler room - depends on the temperature outside and inside. Ie if overboard -15 at night (which is rare mostly in October and April), it is missing one of staple without odcinki. If night -20-25, drop in boiler room as needed, so that by midnight the temperature in the house was not below 24-25 degrees. When overboard -35 and below to the boiler room throw jam all night. In the morning at 9 o'clock the temperature in the house 22-23 degrees. Night in 16-18 hours drops to 20-21. At this temperature and heated up again. A decisive factor in the selection of pine - cheapness - so 3000 roubles and lasts for the entire heating season and bath. If you buy a birch in our area at 3000 only 2 of the cube will suffice. Prepare yourself - there is no equipment, although already saw you 500 meters from the house. Decided that pine slabs is much less time consuming and almost free. I understand that putting a modern boiler for 30-60 thousand R. firewood consumption would be much less. But economic sense-in the same brand. Electricity not heated in order the same savings. Since 1 kWh = 3.02 ruble. Electricity consumption for other uses is not more than 200 kWh per month.
In the neighboring region, in 400 km on West I have a completely opposite situation. The house is 100 sq m. the Stove is not and will not. Automatic boiler 3-4,5 kW more than enough. The cost of the electric energy 64 pennies per kW. Firewood there for years, rotting away
