What is the best way to keep warm in rural areas in winter? What are the ways to keep warm in rural areas?

As we all know, winter is the coldest period of the year. Many places will experience low temperatures, snow, hail, etc. Therefore, heating is generally needed to avoid frostbite. There are many ways to keep warm, so what is the best way to keep warm in rural areas in winter? Let's take a closer look!

What is the best and most economical way to keep warm in rural areas in winter?

Preferred floor heating

Generally, radiators are a common heating method in rural areas. They are easy to install and quick to construct. However, if you have children, it is better to use floor heating. This is mainly because children like to run around barefoot, crawl on the ground, and play on the ground. It is more comfortable to use floor heating. Floor heating is also more suitable for the human body. Floor heating warms the lower part of the room, which is more suitable for the human body when the legs and feet are afraid of cold.

Especially in rural areas, houses are generally low-rise, 1-3 floors, and the damp and cold air in winter is mostly in the low floors. Most houses in northern regions are bungalows. The radiator heats unevenly, with heat on the top and cold on the bottom, and often causes sweating on the head and cold feet, making it easy to catch a cold.

The disadvantage of floor heating is that the construction is more troublesome. It needs to be laid on the ground and then make floor tiles or floors. If it has already been decorated, the ground needs to be demolished and redone.

The problem is that the floor heating room tends to be dry and needs to be humidified.

Heating energy

The most common one is coal, which is economical and affordable, but it is more polluting and prone to gas poisoning. Now the country advocates environmental protection and low carbon, so it is recommended to consider natural gas or electric heating. Natural gas is the best if it is available, but if not, it is best to use electricity. You can choose electric boilers. Rural areas should have subsidies for heating electricity. You can also use air energy heat pumps. Now many areas are promoting their use. The government has subsidy policies. For example, Zhangjiakou subsidizes electricity costs of 0.1 yuan per kWh, which is very suitable and saves more money than coal.

Air source heat pumps use the principle of air conditioning and a small amount of electricity to transport solar energy and air thermal energy into the room for heating and hot water. They can provide heating in winter and cooling in summer, which is environmentally friendly and energy-saving.

Therefore, it is recommended to use floor heating and air energy heat pump for heating. If the house has been renovated, you can consider using radiators.

What are the methods of heating in rural areas in winter?

Rural living conditions are better now, and winter heating equipment has also been updated. The old earthen stoves, large braziers, and earthen stoves have basically been eliminated. They have been replaced by heating, electric heating, and another type of heating invented by farmers themselves, called geothermal heating. (Different from geothermal heating in buildings)

Geothermal

Let's talk about geothermal first. This kind of geothermal is to build a small basement under the house. The length and width are equal to the house, and the height is 1.8 meters. Then build a chimney and a firewood filling hole at both ends of the house. Fill it with sawdust or leaves before winter. The sawdust and leaves should be slightly wet with water to prevent them from burning too quickly. Fill it up and compact it. When using it, light a fire at the firewood filling hole, and you can control its burning speed by the size of the firewood filling hole. It can usually burn for about a month, and then refill it.

Its characteristics are high indoor temperature, difficulty in controlling, and repeated filling, which is quite troublesome. Its current usage rate is not high.

Besides, electric floor heating is clean, sanitary and environmentally friendly, with uniform temperature, easy to control and labor-saving, but it is expensive and consumes a lot of electricity. Although it is good, due to the high cost, only a small number of people can accept it, and the usage rate is not high.

Self-heating

Nowadays, most people still use home-made heating. This type of heating consists of a water-jacketed boiler connected in series with multiple radiators to form a simple circulation system. The smoke from the water-jacketed boiler flows along the kang, so when the heating is turned on, it heats up both the heater and the kang, killing two birds with one stone.

The room heats up quickly and evenly. The cost is low, it is relatively economical and easy to be accepted by people.

The disadvantage is that you have to cook it yourself every day.

Based on the above points, it is recommended that you use self-burning heating for heating. The fuel is widely used, corn pith, wood can be used, and it is practical and economical. It is also simple to burn and not tiring.

Recommendations for heating in rural areas in winter

Nowadays, rural bedrooms use different heating methods based on their own financial situation. Generally, fire pits are economical and practical, while families with better financial conditions do not like to use heating because it is expensive.

In winter, I recommend using a heated kang. I don't like electric blankets because they make me uncomfortable and my throat feels uncomfortable. A heated kang is the best choice. Then put up a stove. The iron stove dissipates heat faster and the bedroom is warmer. In rural areas, heated kangs and stoves are more practical for heating in winter.

Some places in rural houses are really high. If they are too high, then a suspended ceiling is a must, followed by outdoor insulation or indoor insulation. Secondly, floor heating is the first choice, which makes the human body feel comfortable and dissipates heat evenly.
