Heating my home with a Chinese diesel heater.

- After watching many videos about chinese diesel heater setups, I have built my own. Choosing some ideas and tips from others that suit my needs. I'm heating a two bedroom bungalow. Details about the heaters can be found on other RUclips videos, this one is only to show my own setup. I don't have links to items I used but have suggestions to what to look for below.
🔴 Before anyone else comments on the ducting not being insulated, once videoing was finished and I’d shown the ‘Y’ piece and reducers, it was insulated in an industrial grade silvered bubblewrap. 👍🏻

I'm loosing the will to live reading how many people can't spell losing.
What a progressive word we live in, going back to oil heating
Nice job, i've got one of these for my shed, works out at between 5p and 9p per kilowatt hour depending on diesel price, which is great in comparison with 34p per kwH for electricity!
I love the comment section on these type of vids everyone becomes a "know it all" but never installed or used a diesel heater! Its comical
Good set up ideally should think about insulating the hot air pipes into house outside as you will get heat loss in freezing weather.
As the pipes are long to enter the house does it still keep it warm enough in winter when entering the house? has anyone thought of having the heater inside the house and exhaust just going to outside thru wall?
🤣🤡 great job recreating the wheel! If they just made a diesel burning heating unit for homes. They could call it an oil furnace, and they could become pretty mainstream.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fark me that exhaust is dangerous - CO is heavier than air and I hope there's no way it can make it round to your air inlet and fill your home with Carbon monoxide, make sure you have a Carbon monoxide alarm indoors.
Good setup, the diesel heater produces dry air, and blowing in from outside means it’s acting similar to a PIV positive input ventilation system, (normally Loft fitted) producing a slight pressure in your home and escaping through gaps and holes etc, slowly pushing out damp air and introducing fresh dryer air. I’ve got a PIV in my loft and will be setting up my diesel heater similar to you in the summer. 👍
You need to lag the pipes from the unit to the wall! You will lose 35% of your energy by not lagging these pipes.
That looks tidy, I have a similar set up in my garden shed/workshop. I had the heater inside but it was a little noisy so I boxed in the underside of an outside workbench and piped it into the shed. Mounting the fuel pump onto something more solid than the flimsy steel on the heater cover really helped the noise. Works a treat tho.
Great job, I think we will start to see more and more of these types of installations. Just make sure your outside socket has 30mA RCD protection if you haven’t already. Especially if you use the spare outlet for a lawn mower etc.
THAT is a brilliant idea! Im fitting one of these in my camper build so I think I'll put one in the house too!
Loved the sound of all the starlings and sparrows 👍
I’ve bought one of these heaters ready for my shed build. I’ve also been looking in to the condensation problem I have in the house and a PIV SYSTEM Positive Input Ventilation where you pump fresh air in to the home from the loft space, creating positive pressure which cures the condensation.
Nice setup. I think the reducers are good for the airflow, since you split the output air hose in two. I also like how you didn't use a permanent attachment to the house. I think your heater will last longer since it's not sitting out in the heat and humidity of the summer.
Great set up , have been thinking how best to use this heater for my garden office and your explanation and set is perfect a big thank you for sharing
'I've got one for both holes' cracked me up because that is what the wife is always saying ha ha ha ha ha , nice job on the installation has given me a few idea's form my external setup.
Nice job. I've been planning something similar for a while. Everyone should be doing this until prices come down to something reasonable.
Fantastic video Rob, very interesting I've never seen this type of heating before.
