Inexpensive heat for every home: electric heating energy-saving boiler

There are still quite a few private sectors in our country that are not supplied with gas. On the one hand, you can cook food on an electric stove or imported gas, and on the other hand, in the cold season, and sometimes at night, it is quite cool. How to heat a living space without breaking a hole in the family budget? The solution can be an electric heating energy-saving boiler, which will create a comfortable temperature. Today we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of such equipment, analyze its capabilities and find out where it can be purchased with the greatest benefit.

This is how electrode energy-saving boilers for heating look like

Electric energy-saving boiler: device and principle of operation

Energy-saving electric boilers for the home have one important design difference from conventional ones. There is no heating element in them. Its role is played by an electrode or an inductor. The liquid in such a device acts as not only a coolant, but also a conductor. Inside the boiler, electric current passes from the electrode to the walls precisely through the water, thereby heating it - this is in the case of an electrode. If its function is performed by an inductor, then the water is heated by means of magnetic waves passing through it.

Advantages and disadvantages of energy-saving electric heating boilers

Such equipment has a lot of advantages.The main ones are:

Speaking about the advantages of economical electric boilers for heating a private house, one cannot but mention the disadvantages. Actually, it is only one - the inability to use equipment during a power outage.

Boiler parameters worth paying attention to

In order for such equipment to work effectively, it is worth paying attention to some of the technical parameters that it possesses. The electric boiler should not be too large - its size is determined based on the area of ​​the room where it will be installed. It is also important to determine the number of phases. For an apartment with a 220 V household network, single-phase equipment is needed, but for a private house where 380 V is supplied, it will be more profitable to purchase a three-phase one - this will provide additional savings.

So neatly you can place all the necessary equipment for the heating system.

The type of system also plays an important role. If it is closed, then the need for periodic topping coolant disappears. And in itself such a system is more effective. Another parameter is the intensity of exploitation. If it is planned to use the boiler only as a backup heating, then the large capacity of the equipment is useless here.

What types of energy-saving electric boilers can be

Such equipment can be divided both by design features - into electrode and induction, and by the method of installation - by floor or wall. You can also select the number of contours - with one or two. First, let's figure out the installation method.

Floor standing electric energy-saving heating boilers have larger dimensions than wall-mounted ones. Such equipment should be chosen if the area of ​​the premises is large, and there is a place for installation for the electric boiler. Usually a separate room is allocated for such equipment. The wall-mounted version is more compact - it can be installed in any bathroom without sacrificing useful space.

The model range of Galan electric boilers is quite wide

By design features, it can be noted that induction electric boilers are less popular. The reason for this is the impossibility of using it in open heating systems... However, such equipment has a number of undeniable advantages. For example, in an induction boiler, even oil can be used as a heat carrier. And the absence of scale formation plays an important role. But it is worth dwelling on the electrode equipment in more detail.

Electrode heating boilers and their features

This type is the most common, which is not surprising. In most old houses in the private sector, heating is done in an open way. And what is the point of remodeling the entire system for an induction heater, if you can only install electrode equipment.

Such a small electrode boiler has a power of 5 kW

Here, electrolysis is used as heating.The boiler itself is connected to "zero", while a "phase" is applied to the electrode in the center (three electrodes at a voltage of 380 V). It turns out a kind of "student" or "army" boiler. Such systems are the safest in comparison with heating elements. Indeed, in the event of a water shutdown, a closed electric heating element (in the event of a failure of the automation) can simply explode. Electrode equipment is free of these risks. The lack of liquid in the boiler entails a break in the contact, which means that the electric boiler will simply stop functioning.

We invite the dear reader to read one of the reviews about the electrode boiler for heating a private house.

Number of circuits in water heaters

Single-circuit electric heating boilers make it possible to heat only the coolant. They can heat the house, but with the hot water supply system, in this case, they will have to decide something. Typically, homeowners install a separate water heater to solve this problem. However, it is much easier to fix it in another way.

Double-circuit heating boilers are quite a convenient thing. It is especially pleasing that, in the presence of a second circuit for the device of a hot water supply system, there is no additional power consumption. This happens due to the fact that the water is heated from the heating medium of the heating system. Everything happens as follows. In the tank where the hot water supply is located, there is a coil through which the coolant, heated to a certain temperature, passes. At the same time, he gives up part of his heat to water, heating it. It turns out that if you install a single-circuit electric boiler for heating a house of 100 square meters and compare it with a double-circuit analogue that allows you to connect hot water supply, then there will be no noticeable difference in electricity consumption.

Electric boilers for heating can also be wall-mounted - they are more compact.

Some nuances of choosing a water heater for heating

When deciding what is the most economical electric boiler to choose for the house, you need to decide with what intensity it is supposed to work. If this is only additional heating, then 2-3 kW of power will be enough. You should also think about the need for a second circuit. If you need hot water in the house, then it will be much more profitable to purchase a double-circuit water heater for heating than to buy a separate one for hot water supply. And in the process of operation, obvious savings will be noticeable.

For many, the most important quality indicator is the brand, but you should not blindly trust what is written on the package. In our time, there is a lot of falsification. But even if all the documents and certificates are in order, there may be an electric boiler next to it on the counter with the same characteristics and not worse quality, but at a lower cost. This happens because of the overpricing "for the brand". The more it is promoted, the higher the cost of the goods will be, which is not always justified by the quality and equipment.

Some electric boilers are so compact that they practically do not differ from main pipes.

Overview of the most famous manufacturers and prices for electric heating energy-saving boilers

There are quite a few well-known brands of electric boilers in Russia. But today we will try to consider the most famous of them, necessarily domestic production. Of course, it was possible to include foreign brands in the review, but their cost is much higher, which cannot but disappoint.
