What is an economical and effective way to build a house for heating in rural areas during the cold winter? Should we use electric heating or centralized heating? Or is it an old-fashioned coal stove for heating?

- Electric Heating Device: The most widely used heating equipment in rural areas is usually an electric heating device. There are many styles of electric heating devices, one is the electric fan method, and the other is the rectangular legged heating device. These two types of heating devices are now common in rural areas.
- Coal Fired Stove Heating: Coal fired stove heating is a heating method that has been widely used in rural areas for a long time. Due to its low cost and integration of heating and cooking functions, it is loved by many rural households. However, coal-fired stoves consume a lot of energy and pose significant safety hazards. During use, it is essential to promptly clean the cigarette ash and inspect the chimney.
- Air Conditioning Heating: Nowadays, the living standards in many rural areas in China have improved significantly, especially in coastal cities where the living conditions are not much worse than those in cities. Therefore, many people in rural areas have installed air conditioning systems, whether in summer or winter, to cool or heat.
- Geothermal Heating: Nowadays, some rural households are starting to install underfloor heating for heating. Geothermal heating is the most popular heating method in recent years. Unlike other heating methods that use hot air or air to increase indoor temperature, the pipelines of underfloor heating are laid under the decorative materials on the ground, and the temperature increases from bottom to top, making it even and comfortable to use.
- Centralized Heating Radiator Heating: In many rural areas in the north, due to the relatively low temperature, collective heating radiators are also installed to ensure normal heating for rural people in winter. However, collective heating is only suitable for the north and not for the south, and there are some drawbacks, so it is still not cost-effective to calculate.
