Features electric boiler unit
Basic elements of electric heating boiler structure - the tank and heating element. Devices equipped with control and automation systems.
Also in the box may include different models and expansion tanks circulating pumps.
When purchasing a boiler should pay attention to the type of heating element. Over time, TENah deposited lime particles, which affects the power of the device
Electric boilers have several advantages:
- Fire safety. Thanks to the automatic control system and the lack of open flame devices are safe. They do not emit toxic substances and products of combustion are not able to explode.
- Ease of installation. For electrical equipment does not require any chimney or ventilation, which facilitates installation.
- high efficiency. Regardless of the type of heating device, all electric boilers are highly efficient.
- density. Electrical appliances, especially attachments, take up little space.
- nice design. Most modern models stylistically versatile and look good in the interior.
Electric boilers are almost ideal - easy to use, safe. Their only serious drawback - the high cost of electricity. Another caveat: the inhabitants of the regions where there are frequent disruptions in the grid, it is better to choose boilers, working on other energy sources, or to take care of the purchase of additional heating devices.
Classification criteria heaters
The variety of electric boilers have a huge advantage: you can find a model perfectly suited to the specific operating conditions. At the same time, so as not to make a mistake, the buyer have to understand the nuances.
Electric heating equipment are classified according to several criteria, the most important of which are:
- heating the coolant type: TENovye, electrode, induction;
- location method: hinged (wall), interior;
- design: single, combi.
Heating and electric boilers may vary according to other parameters. For example, some manufacturers produce not only single-phase models (220), but the three-phase (380 V).
there are also combi boilersIn which, in addition to electricity may be used and other energy sources (wood or gas).

The construction features an electrode boiler - the presence of the electrode which is not a heater, but it performs its function. Heating of the heat carrier is carried out by transmitting electricity water. As a result, the coolant temperature increases due to the resistance increase
According to its principle of operation of these boilers resemble electric kettles and boilers: heat transfer fluid is heated by the heating element and into the heating system. The only significant difference is that the water warms up in flow-through mode, and does not accumulate in the tank
At the induction electric boilers have a significant advantage over other types of models: in their design absent as heating elements, which are gradually calcifications, and electrodes which are eventually dissolve. Devices work by high-frequency currents, whereby a high efficiency
These models are designed exclusively for heating and hot water are not suitable for the organization. Single-brand model proven an excellent job with its function, the easy to use and rarely require repair. They are reliable and durable
The main advantage of electric boilers combi - versatility. Models are designed for connection to two systems - heating and hot water. By purchasing one appliance, the owner provides your home with heat and hot water. It is rational and economically viable solution
Wall models are ideal for small size premises. They are compact and do not occupy space on the floor, making it possible to efficiently use the space and convenience to carry out cleaning. An additional plus - a stylistically neutral design
The main disadvantages of floor models - large size and placement on the floor, and the advantage - power. These electric boilers are ideal for heating large buildings, especially if it is possible to equip a separate boiler
The owners of the combined boilers get choice and can use one source of energy that is more affordable in a given period of time. The most popular models - on electricity and natural gas

TENovye and electrode boilers are time-tested, reliable and arrange those homeowners who are trying to find a model of decent quality at an affordable price.
Since the electrodes are sensitive to the composition of the coolant, it is necessary to monitor the quality of water in the heating system. If a new boiler is connected to the old system, it is thoroughly washed, removing all dirt and impurities
Induction instruments are more suitable for people who appreciate high-performance technology and cutting edge design. Their advantage - the freedom of choice coolant: Boilers can be connected to a heating system with antifreeze.
TENovye boiler easy to install and generally have a capacity adjustment, but due to the formation scaling on the heating elements of the heat transfer is gradually reduced, and the power consumption increases
Choosing between the wall and floor boilers, should define the space in which the device can be positioned.
Practice shows that reliable electric boilers floor wall. They rarely break and they last longer. If it is possible to allocate a place under the floor model, it will be the best solution
If you need a powerful boiler, and the room is spacious, it is necessary to give preference to the floor model and for houses with floor space up to 100 square meters you can choose a wall.
Principles of operation of induction and TENovyh devices differ significantly, although it has little effect on efficiency. The main difference - in the amount of initial investment, but over time, maintenance costs are aligned boilers since due to the lack of heating elements induction models require less repair
Any type of electric hot water boiler has advantages and limitations in use, so devices should be chosen, focusing on their own needs, priorities and characteristics of operation of the heating technology.
The nuances of choosing the right model
Electricity - an expensive energy source. If the boiler is to be picked up properly, you will have to pay huge electricity bills.
So it makes sense to pay attention to some details:
- functions instrument. It is necessary to determine what features should perform boiler - only heat the house or additionally supplying it with hot water.
- Technical indicators boiler. Be sure to take into account not only the heated area, but also the degree of thermal insulation.
- Price. In many ways, the cost of heating devices depending on the power, but that's not all. Additional functions can lead to a significant rise in the cost model. Therefore it is necessary to understand clearly as to whether the budget to pay for the convenience.
Even before the start of the boiler should be searching to find out how powerful it should be.
You can calculate the power, focusing on averages: 1 kW of power enough to heat 10 sq m premises with ceiling heights up to 3 m. It turns out to heat a small house with an area of 60 m is suitable device for power of 6 kW.
When buying an electric boiler fundamental importance power consumption. It is better to overpay for a more expensive model, but to save on its operating
It is desirable to consider the degree of thermal insulation and fly with a small reserve of power boiler (20%). If the house is badly insulated, choose a gas or better solid-modelBecause heating using electricity too expensive.
That will help to save on heating?
There are several devices that help reduce power consumption and reduce the cost of home heating:
- thermostats. Boilers equipped with thermostats, do not overheat the room, but at the same time maintain the required temperatures.
- programmers. "Smart" boilers adjust the temperature in the room on a particular schedule. Although the boiler is operating continuously, the heating element consumes power only 34% of the time. For more information about arrangement of the heating system in the smart home, read here.
- Multistage power regulators. Thanks to the automatic controller can be an extremely efficient use of energy resources.
- microprocessors. The device is continuously adjustable power boilers, and some devices can be controlled even remotely - from smartphones or other gadgets. These expensive models, but are worth the money.
On the power consumption of the electric boiler markedly affects the presence or absence of a circulation pump.
If it is not included models, it is advisable to purchase it separately and connected to the heating system.
If there is a possibility that in the cold season, the house will be left for a while, it is better to choose a model with a system of protection against coolant freezing
When purchasing a boiler for a country house or villa should pay attention to protect the system from freezing coolant.
