When our family house was built, not only it was important to create visually appealing project with a considered interior and landscape design, the question of heating and air conditioning systems, electricity, hot water and drinking water were of utmost importance. That is the basis of every house – without that, it is not possible to live there comfortably and warmly. Sanitary conditions clearly have to be provided.
In order to sort these basic requirements, we came across https://commodus.lv/ – that is a Latvian enterprise that is specialized in all the previously mentioned themes – heat, air-conditioning, water and electricity. We wanted to build a house that was more friendly to the environment and sustainable. That is exactly what Commodus had to offer.
They have wide experience and have provided services to such well-known establishments as Riga Technical University and J. Ķīša Clinic of Aesthetic Dermatology. The spectrum of positive reviews persuaded me that it is a service that can be trusted and it unites knowledgeable specialists – the key factor to arrive at a successful result at the end. That is what happened to us as well as all our needs were met.
Commodus can help to solve these problems both small apartments owners and the owners of large factories. For each specific quadrature there is a corresponding heating system. Also, when it comes to electricity and hot water, Commodus can help create systems that can provide electricity and heat the water using Solar energy – for this can be Solar batteries and Solar collectors used.
Heating systems – heat pumps
One of the most mind-blowing heating systems are the heat pumps – it is the invention of the modern age. If in the previous centuries there was basically one heating system – based on using wood, then now humanity has learnt to gain energy and warmth also from other resources. There are different types of heat pumps and each has its advantages and is suitable for a specific purpose and area. Commodus offers a wide variety: https://commodus.lv/siltumsukni.
The first I want to talk about is the heat pump air-air. That is the most economical option when it comes to choosing a nature-friendly heating system. Not only can it be used during winter to heat the rooms, but also in the summer as a conditioner. It is easy to install even in an apartment. Normally this type of heating system is installed in apartments, summer houses, small and medium size houses. It can heat the rooms efficiently when the temperature outside drops up to -25 degrees.
The second option is the heat pump air-water. Unlike the previous one, this heat pump can be used to warm up the water as well and it can be attached to the water heating system. This heating system is suitable for installing in apartments, houses and buildings that are heated with the help of heated floors and radiators.
The third variant is the ground source heat pump – it uses the Solar energy that is stored in the ground. During the spring, summer and the beginning of the autumn there is enough energy stored to heat the house for the whole winter. This same system can be used also in the summer to cool the rooms. WIth this type of heating system it is possible to save up to 80% of the standard heating costs. It is appropriate for heating private houses and small industrial objects.
Heating systems – heating boilers
Another, more commonly known heating system is the heating boiler – https://commodus.lv/apkures-katli. They are meant to heat dwelling houses, offices and production facilities. To heat the rooms radiators, heated floors or walls or air blowers are used. It is possible to use wood heating, pellet boiler or combined. By using a heating boiler, it is also possible to heat the hot water.
The wood boiler is considered to be the most economical form of heating. They can be made either of steel either or cast iron. The wood will burn with higher efficiency in the steel boiler; however, the cast iron boiler will function for more years. When it comes to choosing a wood boiler, there are several factors that should be taken into account: the capacity, the possible length of the firewood log, etc.
The pellet heating is an automated heating form – it does not require the presence of its burner. It simply has to be filled and this heated system is clever enough to do the job itself. With a pellet boiler it is possible to heat both small and large areas, this type of heating system is suitable both for small apartments and big houses. It can also be used in big factories or office buildings.
This is the type of heating system we also chose for our family home. It is also an environment-friendly heating system. Its main advantage is that its owner can basically not participate – it only has to be filled once in the span of 7-14 days. Our pellet boiler also has an automated cleaning system, which means that I have to clean it only once in a month.
There are also pellet fireplaces. However, they are more suitable for smaller areas – they can heat up to 90 m2. They can be installed in a cottage or a local pub. It is possible to see a real-life fire, which makes this heating boiler more appealing and cozy.
Air conditioning – to chill or to heat
Air conditioning systems can both chill and cool the air. On a hot summer day, a breeze of cool air is exactly what is needed. It is an automated device that provides the user with the desirable temperature by cooling the air. More modern devices can work as heating systems as well (as it was already discussed previously when talking about a heat pump air-air). The air conditioning system also provides a suitable humidity level.
It is possible to take a look at the air conditioning systems offered by Commodus in the following link – https://commodus.lv/kondicionieri.
Solar energy for electricity and hot water
Not only Commodus can take care of the heating systems, but offer to help gain Solar energy. Solar panels help to convert the Solar energy into electricity (Solar batteries) or into warm water (Solar collectors). Both types of Solar panels are available in Latvia and Comodus can install both of them. It can be used practically anywhere. And for our house we are gaining electricity by the help of Sun batteries.
The energy that is produced during the daylight hours can be used later when the darkness ensues. Solar power is surely cheaper and definitely more sustainable. It also gives more independence from the collective electrical network.
Boreholes for clean drinking water
Commodus also provides drilling boreholes – that is a way to access the cleanest water which is protected from the bacteriological contamination. In the deepest layers of the ground there is always water in sufficient quantities. This water can be used both for drinking and overall to provide the house with water, That is what we chose for our house as well as the water is the essence of health and the basis of a diet.
Fully equipped with Commodus
To sum up, I would certainly say that Commodus can offer a full range of service, providing each house with the basic necessities such as heat, electricity and drinking water. Nevertheless, the level of humidity and freshness in the summer is not of less importance. All of that is needed in order to have a healthy environment at home and to feel the best.
The specialists from Commodus can help find the most suitable solutions for each situation, offer their experience, expertise and advice. If you are thinking about choosing the right heating system, want to drill a borehole or start living more economically with Solar energy, you can contact them by calling the following number +371 27088108 or you may write an email to info@commodus.lv.
Even though this is Latvian company, it is possible to turn to the specialists with a question also in English. As I still have not learnt the Latvian language, I prefer communication in English and as I have learnt – it is not an issue in Latvia as the locals here know sometimes even more than 3 languages.
I can highly recommend Commodus and their services as it was a pleasure to cooperate with a company that provides quality, responsible attitude and follows the highest standards of the industry.
