Installations and connections in a tiny house – what to pay attention to?

A tiny house can be a fully functional home that provides the comfort of everyday life – both on a plot with full access to utilities and in off-grid mode. To achieve this, you need to take care of the right electrical, plumbing and heating systems. In this guide, we suggest what to look for when planning the systems in your tiny house – with the help of Aurora Company specialists.

Tiny house with connections or off-grid – what to choose?

The choice depends on where the house will be built and your lifestyle.

Tiny house with access to utilities (standard)

An ideal solution if you’re building a house on a construction or recreational plot with access to electricity, water, and sewage. It provides maximum comfort and ease of use.

Tiny house off-grid (independent)

It works well on plots without infrastructure—in the forest, by a lake, or in the mountains. It offers independence and minimal environmental impact.

At Aurora Company, we design houses in both variants – with the possibility of full adaptation.

Electrical installation in a tiny house

Standard power supply (mains)

Fully secure 230V installation, security, distribution board, sockets, and lighting. Ready to connect to the existing utility line on the plot.

Off-grid power supply (photovoltaics)

Possibility of application:

• PV panels (roof or freestanding),
• energy storage (batteries),
• charge regulators and inverters.

A system tailored to the user’s needs – from the minimum (lighting, laptop).

Water and sewerage installation

Tiny house with access to water and sewage

In Aurora Company homes, standard connection to:

• water supply network,
• municipal sewage system or domestic sewage treatment plant,
• hydrophore or tank with pump (if there is no water supply).

Alternative solutions (off-grid)

• Clean water tank (with pump and filter) – to supply the kitchen, shower and sink.
• Grey water tank – for draining used water.
• Composting toilet – no connection to the sewage system, odorless, ecological.

Heating and air conditioning in a tiny house

Electric heating

Most frequently used: air conditioning with heating function, infrared underfloor heating, wood fireplace.

Air conditioning with heating function

One system – two functions. Cooling in summer, heating in winter. The perfect solution for year-round tiny houses.

Fireplace or stove

An option for those who value ambiance. An aesthetically pleasing and efficient way to heat a small space.

Ventilation – fresh air all year round

At Aurora Company we use:

• gravity ventilation as standard,
• possibility of installing a recuperator – i.e. mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.

This is an important element of comfort and a healthy microclimate, especially in a small space.

Tiny house installations – what do you get as standard with Aurora Company?

• ready, safe electrical installation (sockets, lighting, security),
• complete water and sewage installation,
• possibility of choosing a heating and ventilation system,
• advice on connections or off-grid solutions.

What utilities do you need on your plot?

For a house with full connection, it is worth making sure that the plot has:

• power connection or the possibility of making one,
• water source – waterworks, well, reservoir,
• sewage disposal – sewerage, septic tank, treatment plant.

If they are not available, Aurora Company will advise you on how to prepare independent sources (off-grid).

Summary: Tiny house installations – modern and tailored to your lifestyle

A tiny house can be just as functional as a traditional house. Thanks to modern installations—both connected and independent—you have complete freedom to choose your lifestyle: minimalist, eco-friendly, or completely comfortable.
