In the context of major environmental challenges, any sustainable solution that helps to change the perspective on global warming and to adopt a new attitude towards the precious resources of our planet matters and must be taken into account. In this sense, the district heating plant, meant to bring extra efficiency, relying on sustainability, but also on the safety of the inhabitants, is an ideal choice for providing heat for a large number of blocks of flats. Whether or not it uses a cogeneration unit to supply heat and power, a district heating plant provides a cost-effective operation for natural gas. This type of heating system uses advanced technology, ideal for its integration into today’s automated systems of state-of-the-art housing.

When we talk about central heating, there are some disadvantages associated with it, which is why it should be avoided. First of all, in the case of assembly, maintenance and troubleshooting, we need to turn to companies authorized to operate them. However, central heating and its elements are often not installed according to the required standards, which leads to malfunctions, but also to risks of fire or gas poisoning. Many of those who own central heating don’t make a proper periodic technical overhaul and, as a result, unforeseen problems and costs may arise.

As apartment central heating will be banned starting this year, you should be aware that real estate developers will no longer be allowed to install individual central heating in the apartments in the newly built blocks of flats. Thus, the neighborhood central heating can be seen to be an optimal and sustainable solution over time.

7 most important advantages of the neighborhood center

1. Care for the environment

District heating plants can make the transition to alternative and sustainable energy sources easier, making it easier to integrate them into the new generation of heating systems for large communities, such as residential complexes. Thus, the use of renewable energy sources translates into greater care for the environment. Basically, the district heating plant can make a significant contribution to the conservation of valuable resources, especially where it is possible, for example, to produce electricity and heat with a single piece of equipment.

2. Supporting better air quality

On the same note of a sustainable vision, the carbon emissions associated with the district heating plant are considerably lower because they generally use less energy than the total number of individual power plants that would normally be found in a neighborhood. The latter loses a significant amount of energy in the form of waste heat, which, in a district heating plant, finds its utility by supporting various technological processes. Therefore, in addition to greater efficiency, pollution is reduced and air quality is much better, thus supporting the health of the inhabitants.

3. Cost efficiency

The district heating plant is more advantageous from the start: the connection costs are reduced, and the new apartments for sale are implicitly connected to this thermal energy source. Maintenance costs, as well as those related to monthly heat bills in the cold season, are considerably lower than those associated with apartment central heating.

4. The imperceptible imprint of its installation

Your home, connected to a district heating plant, will be free of unsightly pipes running through the rooms, as well as the body of the plant, which usually occupies an important space, which must be masked by furniture or hidden in a dedicated place. Moreover, a district heating plant has a quiet operation, unlike the central one, which bothers with the sounds emitted, regardless of its location in the apartment. Classic central heating has other disadvantages, such as the risk of explosion and high costs for annual overhauls and repairs in case of failure. To these the inefficiency given by the ratio of gas combustion / thermal agent delivered is added, as hot water is produced after a good few minutes from opening the tap, thus generating large losses of water and gas.

5. Personnel specialized in monitoring the proper functioning of the neighborhood plant

Adapted to the new pro-comfort trends in the field of housing construction, the district heating plant is ready to be connected to high-tech control systems, specific to smart homes. For example, you can control the heat level in the apartment with the help of thermostats mounted on radiators, which can be adjusted from the phone. On the other hand, the district heating plant comes bundled with a team of qualified engineers who constantly monitor the heat sources for maximum efficiency. When you do the regular overhaul, you don’t have to be at home, as the maintenance team goes straight to the heating plant room.

6. Guaranteed safety for residents

Compared to its own plant, the district heating plant presents zero risks for the beneficiaries: only the hot water reaches the apartments through the installations, and not the gas (with the help of which it works), the hobs and the oven being supplied with electricity. Therefore, there is no risk of accidental gas emissions, which could lead to unfortunate events, inside the house.

7. Very good performance

The district heating plant supplies a large number of apartment blocks through a single unit, providing heat and hot water for them. For each apartment, there is an individual meter for cold water, hot water and heat. Unlike a classic central heating system, you will never have to worry about running out of hot water or heat, because a district heating plant has a second plant as a backup system.

In order for your apartment to benefit from optimal heating, it is important that the other elements that ensure it works synergistically. Good insulation of the building, favorable ventilation, as well as the quality and adaptation to the new technologies of the installations themselves will help considerably to make the heating process more efficient, but also to optimize the costs that this implies. In this sense, h4lapartments and their facilities are the expression of profitability, honesty towards people and their well-being, behind which lies the desire to give them a lively and harmonious life.
