order district heating

The property is connected to the district heating network through a district heating pipe. To install this, we dig an installation trench on the property.

During the planning meeting, we agree with the customer on the location of the pipe and the schedule for the installation work. We also assist the customer in deciding where the heat exchanger should be installed. It is usually placed in the boiler room or garage.

The installation of the heat exchanger is the responsibility of the HVAC contractor ordered by the customer.

The entire installation process typically takes about two weeks.

Digging the installation trench, laying the district heating pipe, insulation, welding the pipe, and filling the trench usually take about one week.

The installation of the heat exchanger usually takes a few days. This is handled by an HVAC contractor. The installation is not included in the district heating delivery, so you will need to order an HVAC contractor to handle the installation.

Installation work is typically carried out from spring to autumn, but it can also be done in winter if needed. If the ground is frozen, excavation work may take more time.

Switching from oil heating to district heating is easy, as oil-heated properties already have water-based underfloor or radiator heating. This means that only the heat source needs to be changed, with the heat exchanger replacing the old oil boiler.

When ordering district heating, inform us of your oil consumption. This will help us estimate your district heating operating costs.

A heat exchanger is a device installed in a property that transfers heat from the district heating network to the property. The size of a heat exchanger is typically around 50 cm x 70–80 cm x 30 cm, depending on the manufacturer.

The heat exchanger monitors the outdoor temperature and adjusts the temperature of the water circulating in the radiators or underfloor heating accordingly. This ensures that the room temperature remains consistent despite fluctuations in the outdoor temperature.

The price of a heat exchanger, including installation, is typically around 5,000–6,000 euros.
Customers can order a heat exchanger through an HVAC contractor. The HVAC contractor will assist in selecting the appropriate model.

In district heating, thermal energy is transferred through water circulating in the district heating network. The water is heated at the district heating production plant and distributed via the network to properties using district heating. These properties may have systems like water-circulating underfloor heating or radiators, which circulate the warm water to heat the indoor air.

A heat exchanger is used to transfer heat from the district heating water to the water circulating in the building’s radiator or underfloor heating system. Similarly, it also heats domestic hot water.

To change the temperature of the entire property, you need to adjust the heating curve on the heat exchanger.

For adjusting the temperature of an individual room in a property with radiator heating, you can adjust the radiator valve.

The temperature of the water coming from the district heating network to the heat exchanger—known as the supply water—can be up to 110 degrees Celsius. The supply water temperature varies depending on the outdoor temperature.

Before the start of the heating season, you can take the following measures to ensure that everything is in order

• Check the heating system’s pressure level and top up or vent it if necessary.
• Check the operation of the control valves and pumps.
• Check the functionality of the control devices for both heating and hot water.

Also, periodically check in the heat distribution room to ensure there are no leaks in the heating system’s pipes or connections.

District heating is a reliable heating solution. A heat exchanger is long-lasting, and its replacement typically becomes necessary 20–30 years after installation.
