Recently, many owners of apartments who have been in quite a long time -built houses change old heating radiators to new, aluminum representatives of this segment of equipment for heating the house. It is worth noting that the main problem when replacing heating radiators is of course the cost of direct replacement, as a rule, installation is carried out by professional builders. Perhaps that is why many owners of houses and apartments try to independently resolve the issue of installing radiators. I note that there is nothing complicated in this and the proper and professional installation of heating radiators is capable of a person without much experience in this matter. When installing aluminum radiators, the availability of special equipment and dexterity is not required, however, when installing cast -iron radiators, the use of a welding machine and certain professional skills will be required.
It is worth noting that the cost of services for the installation of radiators usually depends on a huge number of factors. Firstly, it is the installation work itself, which is the largest cost item when paying such services. You can reduce these costs easily, make an independent installation of heating radiators. This allows not only to save a lot of money, but also to get additional life experience that you are sure of the future, you will need it again.
In order not to continue to walk around up to about the topic of installation of heating radiators, let’s move on to more detailed information, so to speak, a theoretical course that will reveal the basics of the correct installation of such heating radiators.
The principles of installation of heating radiators are quite simple, first I recommend that you pay attention to the schemes and instructions that are attached to any radiator purchased in the store, this will allow you to get additional information from experienced craftsmen and see the process of installing the radiator in reality in the picture. In addition, before installing the radiators in the house, make sure that you have already leaked water from the system and blocked its feed, if the replacement of radiators is made during the heating season.
Secondly, you must understand that there are several installation systems, as a rule in a private house there is a single -pipe installation system of heating radiators, this means that the new radiator is usually mounted in the place of the old one, respectively, making the installation process more facilitated and simple. When buying equipment, including radiators, do not chase cheapness and pay attention to the origin of the purchased equipment so as not to buy a quality product and eventually get a sufficient number of problems.
As the above was noticed, when installing aluminum radiators, it is not necessary to have special knowledge, in addition, an aluminum radiator can be installed even on gypsum plasterboard walls, which makes such radiators practically inconsistent during the construction of new buildings. Things are worse with a cast -iron radiator, the installation in this case is much more difficult, in addition, it requires special equipment and equipment, including welding equipment, and the installation process is possible only on fairly strong supporting walls. The choice remains for you.
