Electric heating boilers for summer cottages. Which boiler to choose for a summer residence, house or cottage

The summer season often depends on the current weather. In cold years, when even after the snow melts, the weather stays cool or with early cooling in autumn, summer residents have to think about moving to stuffy city apartments earlier than usual.

To extend it and make a stay on suburban area more comfortable, heating systems are installed in the houses, which are also used directly for heating water for the shower. Electric boilers for summer cottages are especially popular in places where there are no gas pipelines and the possibility of harvesting and storing solid or liquid fuels.

Features of country houses

Houses in dachas are rarely made capital, while little attention is paid to the insulation of walls and windows. Indeed, with rare exceptions, they are visited 2-3 days a week in summer, and even less often in winter. Of course, there are people who prefer most time to spend there, but this is rather an exception.

This mode of use imposes serious restrictions on the choice of a heating system for a summer residence. Water heating, although more efficient, has a serious drawback. In the off-season, it is possible to defrost pipes, which will immediately deprive the owner of both heat and a decent amount for repairs.

Gas and diesel systems are able to maintain a constant temperature, but rather big volumes of fuel will be consumed for their operation, and control over their functioning is required. Otherwise, for example, even a power outage for a short period of time can lead to failures in the automation, and this is fraught not only with the boiler turning off, but also with a fire.

Electric boilers have the necessary set of advantages, making their purchase the preferred option of all presented:

• Not high price equipment.
• simple circuit connections, you can do everything yourself.
• Completely autonomous work.
• Ability to work in any climatic conditions.
• It takes up little space, does not require the output of the pipe to the outside.

At the same time, it should be added that you can pay for the use of electricity "later", no advance payments, this must be done only when purchasing liquid or solid fuel. Therefore, cottages, regardless of the desire of the owner, are pushing to make a choice in favor of electrical appliances.

The owners of village houses, used only during the gardening period and, possibly, in the off-season for the holidays, go the same way. To prepare the same firewood, when moving to such a house, you will have to worry about buying it, storing it, etc. in advance. And the electric boiler is enough to connect to the supply network.

Why is electric heating better?

With regard to the advisability of using electric boilers for home heating, heated discussions often arise. There are fans of different opinions, they especially like to focus on the high cost of electricity. But if we put aside for a while the question of the cost of space heating different ways, it will immediately become clear why the use electric heaters more profitable.

• Electricity is available in almost all holiday villages, unlike gas.
• Gas equipment is more difficult to install, here you can not do without specialists.
• Firewood, coal requires their preliminary preparation.
• Any fuel supply, except for main gas, tends to run out at the most inopportune moment, and electrical energy is “endless”.

Of course, diesel vehicles are the best autonomy, but they also need a supply of fuel, and electricity is supplied in an almost unlimited volume, if only the owner of the cottage pays on time for its use.

All options, except for electric boilers, use the combustion of one or another fuel, and this immediately creates a fire hazard, carbon monoxide entering the premises. Such methods of space heating require constant monitoring by the owner, which is not always possible, and if the boiler is turned off for the period of departure, the room will not be easy to maintain in a comfortable condition.

If we return to the question of price, then the main thing in the calculation will be the cost of the boiler itself. Gas and diesel models are several times more expensive than electric ones. So the price for expendable materials» plays only a secondary role, with a high cost of the boiler, it will be possible to save only after several years of its operation.

For some people, it may also be important that electrical equipment is environmentally friendly, there is no waste from it, it does not need to be disposed of, etc. Their work is not accompanied by any noise, as is the case with wood stoves.

If desired, heating with electricity can be combined with other methods, which gives a certain freedom of choice, and in case of emergency situations with power supply, it will make it possible to do without lowering the temperature in the house, to maintain its comfort and coziness.

What is the most important thing in choosing?

It will be easier to choose an electric heating boiler for a summer residence if you approach the task not only from the standpoint of cost savings or ease of installation. Important in all further work and design features. For example, a type of heaters.

There are several important points, because of which the owners of cottages and stop their choice on strictly defined models. So, the first parameter that interests all buyers is a three-phase boiler or a single-phase one. In all holiday villages there is a connection to the power supply network, but not everywhere there is a line with three phases. Usually, in the case of a boiler power of more than 12 kW, a three-phase power supply is usually used.

The type of execution of the case also depends on the power. Consumption above 60 kW affects the size and weight, so that such models are available in the floor version. Noticeably lighter "low-power" modifications are more often found in cases for their wall placement. This gives more space savings and allows you to hang the boilers above plumbing fixtures or other elements of the interior, where they subsequently will not interfere.

Lovers to be in the country long time double-circuit electrical devices will come in handy, in addition to their direct benefit - heating the room, you can also get hot water for washing. Single-circuit models are intended only for building heating.

And one moment. In addition to the expected amenities, choosing the best option, it is worth considering the further costs of operating the boiler. According to the method of heating, they differ in heating elements.

• TEN. It is considered an obsolete method of heating, because. the efficiency of such heating is lower than that of both previous options. In addition, they are not so safe, because in the absence of a coolant, they fail due to overheating, and for other types of heaters this is not critical.
• Electrodes. Heating is provided by direct heating coolant. If its level drops sharply in the heating system, no accident will occur, which is typical for heating elements (they will overheat and fail). The efficiency of such models is noticeably higher, which ultimately affects the efficiency of the boiler.
• Film. The most economical type of heaters. It has been used recently, but it has already earned considerable popularity, because it is very modest size cases of models with a film heating element.

When choosing power, it is worth considering such points that if models with low consumption (up to 3.5 W) can be connected to a regular outlet, increasing consumption to 7-12 W will already require a separate line from the meter.

There are models of boilers that combine two varieties at once, for example, electric wood or electric solid fuel modifications. They take up little space compared to installing two at the same time. different models and allow, without switching the system from one boiler to another, to quickly replace one type of heating with an alternative one.

It is worth paying attention to the year of development of the boiler, because. newer models tend to be more economical, the best protection from overheating. Even their slightly higher cost should not scare away, because future expenses are also important.

Safe operation of the electric boiler

The organization of heating a country house with the help of an electric boiler allows you to rely on relative safety. No combustible substances, either liquid or solid, are used in the combustion process. But the risk emergency it still exists and should be eliminated if possible.

So, you need to start with high-quality electrical wiring, both inside the house and outside. To do this, it is necessary to provide for good insulation of all connections, while making them not with improvised means such as “twisting”, but using special fasteners. The power of the heating system is high, so poor contact will quickly lead to an increase in temperature at the joints, and eventually to melting of the insulation and fire.

The wire is placed in protective corrugations, especially if the building is built of wood. According to safety standards, this is prerequisite, corrugations are usually made of non-combustible material, which, moreover, when heated, is prone to compression, which will block the access of oxygen to the place of ignition electric wire.

At the installation site of the boiler, it should be ensured that the parts heated during its operation do not come into contact with wooden and other interior elements prone to fire or melting. Here you can use heat-insulating sheets, for example, from asbestos.

The incoming node is also important - the electric meter, it must allow the planned load, otherwise it will have to be changed to an updated model. It is worth checking the input from the pole so that there are no leaky sections on the cable, the connections are in good condition, without oxides.

If there is a fear that water heating defrost, it can be filled not with water, but with a special antifreeze. As such a means, aqueous solutions of salts, acids, petroleum oils and organic compounds(glycerin, glycol).

For example, the following "recipes" are widely known:

• 30% water solution sodium chloride, the freezing point will be -21ºC.
• 62% solution acetic acid, freezes below -24ºС.
• 30% aqueous solution of sulfuric acid, withstands up to -41ºС.
• 60-70% aqueous solution of glycerin, works at temperatures down to -30-40ºС.
• 45-55% aqueous solution ethyl alcohol, freezes below -35-40ºС.
• Mineral oils, depending on the brand, keep the system from -15 to - 70ºС.

It is worth noting that not every solution can be used freely on any model of an electric boiler. Often, manufacturers provide for the removal of the warranty in case of detection of such facts. The point is the features of certain compositions to reduce the freezing point of water.

For example, when overheated, they can release sediment that clogs the heating system, which ultimately leads to clogging of pipes and failure of the boiler. The features don't end there. Antifreezes are usually much more fluid than water, and because of this, leaks occur more often at pipe attachment points.

Manufacturers of electric heating boilers

On sale at Russian market meet electric boilers both domestic and foreign production. Many of them have similar characteristics, and the choice is based more on cost and design.

So, among the many models, the following options can be noted:

• RUSNIT. Russian trade mark. The Ryazan plant produces automatic electric boilers for heating residential and industrial premises.
• EVAN. Russian manufacturer. Engaged in the production of various equipment for heating, water heating, including electric boilers.
• GEYSER. A Russian company from Kostroma produces electrode electric boilers for heating private houses.
• DAKON. Czech developer of electric heating boilers.
• KOSPEL. Polish manufacturer electrical equipment for heating.

The enumeration can be continued, but all these models, as a rule, have typical characteristics, such as supply voltage, power, etc. To stand out from the competition, you have to equip your products additional features. For example, a water pump is built into the boiler, temperature sensors are installed, or it is adapted to work with antifreeze.

Some advantages from domestic or foreign manufacturers there are no electric boilers, in addition to this, it is Russian companies often there are good thoughts on improving the design of boilers, and they take into account the climate in our country as much as possible.

For many people, the dacha is not only a place summer holiday, but also a country house where they spend time at any time of the year. Of course, in order to always be comfortable in the house, you definitely need to think about heating. The most common heating option at present is the use of boilers, which, in fact, is the subject of this article.

Features of choice

All existing heating boilers for summer cottages, regardless of their type, work on the same principle - inside the device, the heat exchanger is heated, in which the coolant is heated. Further, the heated coolant (most often it is water or antifreeze) enters the heating radiators through the pipeline and thus the room is heated.

As for the differences between the boilers, they are only in the type of fuel on which the device can operate. Those. no matter what boiler is used to heat the cottage, all types of fuel will heat the coolant, and the system will work on the same principle.

Therefore, before choosing a device, you should decide which type of fuel in your case will be the most optimal.

It could be:

• Firewood or peat;
• Coal;
• Liquid fuel;
• Electricity.

In addition to the type of fuel, when choosing a boiler, it is also necessary to pay attention to the following parameters:

Types of boilers

gas boilers

The heating boiler for giving on gas is the most the best option, since it does not require intervention during operation. As a rule, such devices are equipped with sensors that fully control the operation of the system. In addition, gas is an affordable type of fuel.

However, not every holiday village is gasified. More often than not, it's the other way around, so gas boilers rarely used in country houses.

Advice!
As an option, you can consider the use of gas in cylinders.
The only thing is that the cylinders will have to be changed often, which is associated with certain troubles.

Solid fuel

Solid fuel boilers for summer cottages are the most popular. It makes especially sense to opt for such a device if the cottage has free access to wood. In this case, heating will be generally shareware.

True, the solid fuel device also has quite a few disadvantages:

• Requires a separate room and a chimney equipped according to all safety rules.
• The combustion process must be constantly maintained, throwing fuel into the furnace with their own hands. Therefore, the boiler must not be left unattended for a long time.
• Equipment requires periodic maintenance.

Therefore, before making a purchase, you need to weigh the pros and cons.

liquid fuel

Such devices are in many ways similar to gas ones, except that they do not burn gas, but liquid fuel, as a rule, this is diesel fuel. In terms of efficiency, they are similar to gas ones, and are able to heat both small and large rooms.

Among other advantages of such boilers are:

• No need to obtain permission to install them.
• Solar is cheaper than electricity.
• Simple instruction manual.

However, along with the advantages, there are some disadvantages:

• As in the case of solid fuel devices, they require a separate room with an exhaust hood.
• Dependence on electricity. In the event of interruptions, the device shuts down and requires human intervention to continue working.
• It is necessary to have a supply of fuel, and its temperature must be above +5 degrees.
• The burner is quite noisy, which creates a certain discomfort.

Advice!
If there is no electricity on the site, renting a diesel generator for a summer residence will temporarily solve the problem.

Electrical

An electric heating boiler for a summer residence is the simplest and most convenient device to use. (See also the article.)

This article is about trying to create perfect heating for country house. An important clarification is that this is not a dacha, but Vacation home conditionally permanent residence. Only accommodation in it is more often for the weekend, although there is also accommodation for a month, more often in winter.

I tell in such detail to explain the requirements for the boiler: the reliability of heating in the absence of permanent residence and control, long power outages, the possibility of using alternative fuel. As a result of a three-year search and replacement of two boilers, a universal heating scheme was chosen, which proved itself well after some alterations.

I will not list unsuccessful types of boilers and heating systems. I'll stick with the worked out version. There are three boilers: a gas atmospheric gravity one with a circulation pump, and a coal-firewood solid fuel boiler, a gas boiler for heating water. Consider the priority features of each.

Why exactly him?

Trunk gas is the cheapest and cleanest fuel. Gravity boilers are non-volatile, self-regulating. Self-regulation - the circulation rate, i.e. the rate of heat transfer depending on the temperature in the room: the lower the temperature, the faster the coolant gives off heat and returns to the boiler faster. Translated into an accessible language: set the desired temperature - the heating system itself will maintain it within the available limits. Together with the boiler thermostat, the heating parameters are stabilized at the level of the best electronic boilers.

Gravity systems have a significant drawback - large pipe diameters, and as a result increased consumption fuel for heating a significant amount of coolant. To reduce fuel consumption, a precisely calculated compromise is needed. The fact is that a gravitational non-volatile system is needed only during the absence of electricity. The rest of the time, you can drive the coolant through the pipes with a circulation pump, this is economical in terms of fuel consumption, smaller pipe diameters are needed.

The compromise lies in the calculation of the minimum allowable pipe diameter, at which natural circulation still occurs. With excessive fuel consumption, it is uneconomical, but it circulates, during a long absence of electricity, the system maintains the set temperature. Or you can leave the pipe diameters without underestimating the diameters, as for natural circulation, in the presence of electricity, the coolant circulates with the help of a pump. In case of a long-term power failure, the system fully works as a gravitational one.

Current pipe conversions

It turned out that it is possible to compare two systems in terms of the cost of materials and gas consumption, installed in neighboring houses of the same area of ​​​​120m2 for 5 years of operation. Fully gravitational, and with underestimated diameters. The material cost difference was $120, with the larger cost of full-size pipes.

In terms of gas consumption and power outages on average 3-5 times per heating season for 3-7 days, the difference in gas consumption was $ 40 per season, with a higher cost of full-size pipes. It would seem that the conclusion is obvious - we underestimate the diameters of the pipes to the minimum possible, and save fuel and materials. Not so simple.

During the critical period of a long-term absence of electricity in the system of calculated underestimated pipes, it is necessary to raise the temperature to the maximum possible - 95C. Otherwise, maintaining a comfortable 20C indoors is unrealistic. Modern plastic pipes turn into sagging pasta with a risk of bursting and significant linear expansion. According to Murphy's laws, long-term power outages occur precisely at maximum low temperatures oh, when there is a snowstorm outside the window.

After a week of observation, with concern for softened plastic pipes, it was decided to replace the entire section from the boiler to top wiring on metal. Underestimated pipe diameters were converted to full-size ones. The alteration is possibly controversial, but I didn’t want to freeze again in the cold and be afraid of further softening plastic pipes. The difference of $40 at a seasonal heating cost of $400 is an insignificant price to pay for a calm and warm life in winter.

Necessary changes

Gravity boilers have quite effective, but the simplest automation that responds to the main parameters of safe heating: the presence of traction, gas pressure, attenuation, maximum temperature. To all this, automation reacts by shutting off the gas. We installed boiler automation - Honeywell, which allows you to adjust the burner flame. Before that, there was Eurosit, they replaced it - it doesn’t keep the low temperature limit of the boiler well.

There have been attempts to establish a precise regulation of the boiler temperature depending on the changing air temperature in the room. A temperature sensor is installed in the controlled room, the output from the sensor goes to the electromechanical gas supply valve to the boiler. The main condition is that in the event of a power outage, the system must return to its original state of the boiler's passport operation. The system is operational, but such installation is a violation of the installation gas equipment. They removed it from harm's way, especially since they did not notice any visible gas savings on the meter.

Boiler accessories:

1. Circulation pump with bypass, runs all the time at minimum speed.
2. The system was made closed, so an expansion tank is needed.
3. Automatic two-way valve to protect the system from overheating.
4. Air vent valve, in closed system with a pump can be placed anywhere.

The main problem was not solved - to exclude the attenuation of the gas wick. We solved the problem with the help of a thermocouple, more sensitive than the thermocouple of the boiler automation, and a battery-powered electric lighter.

TTC and column

An additional solid fuel boiler (TTK) was connected via parallel circuit. The outlet to the TTK was taken at the entry point of the return to the gas boiler after the pump. Overclocking connected together in top point. The transition of the system from boiler to boiler, i.e. switching the boilers into operation, occurs automatically upon reaching a higher boiler temperature.

Due to the fact that it was not possible to achieve the same hydraulic resistance from the pump to different boilers, an additional pump had to be installed on the TTK. Switching on and off occurs automatically according to the temperature in the furnace, or forcibly manually. If you forgot to add coal or firewood in time, it’s not scary; when the temperature of the coolant drops, the gas boiler will start working by itself.

Hot water is heated by a separate boiler, which is convenient in summer when the fuel boiler is prevented, greater autonomy is achieved.

HOW TO CHOOSE A BOILER

More and more urban residents are planning their holidays outside the city. In the country, you can enjoy clean air and the absence of city bustle without much hassle. But this only works at a certain level of comfort, which is provided to a city dweller. engineering systems: electricity, plumbing, heating, sewerage. This publication will be about the problems of choosing a heating device for giving, how to solve them.

Choosing a method of heating a country house

The choice of the type of heat generator for giving an important role is played by:

• The degree of insulation of a country house;
• The frequency of stay of the owners, especially in the cold season.
• The need of the owners for hot water supply.
• Availability of additional sources of heat extraction (bath, utility rooms, etc.).
• Availability and possible problems with the supply of electricity.

When choosing a method for heating a summer house, it is necessary to take into account the organization of the protection of your holiday village, and there is one reason for this: stealing an electric convector, for example, is much easier than dragging a bulky and heavy solid fuel boiler or a brick fireplace.

As is known, the best way the organization of heating the cottage is the installation of a gas boiler. The problem is that most summer cottages are located away from gas pipe, therefore, gas heating of a summer residence is more an exception than a rule. What remains is electricity, solid and liquid fuels. Heating the cottage with electrical appliances is quick and easy, but quite expensive. Liquid fuel requires special measures for its storage: difficult, flammable and not always possible. There remains the option of heating the cottage with a solid fuel boiler.

Advantages of solid fuel boiler systems

If your cottage is not in the middle of the desert, then you can always find firewood to kindle such equipment. Besides:

• The organization of a heating system (CO) with a solid fuel does not require special permits, which has a positive effect on the cost of heating a summer house.
• Solid fuel plants are relatively inexpensive and easy to maintain.
• Most models are non-volatile.

The main advantage of solid fuels is the variability in the choice of fuel, which can be used as firewood, coal, pellets, vegetable and wood waste, as well as (purely theoretically) any organic matter.

There is only one drawback of this equipment: if a solid fuel boiler is used in CO, then there is a danger of defrosting when the boiler is stopped during the cold season.

To heat the cottage, our compatriots use:

• classical solid fuel boilers direct combustion;
• long-term solid propellants;
• gas generating heating systems.

To answer the question of how to choose a solid fuel boiler for a private house, we will consider the advantages and disadvantages of each type of heating installations in the context of heating a summer house.

Direct combustion boilers

Advantages:

• Simplicity of a design which provides reliability and high maintainability of the device.
• Ease of maintenance. It is enough to simply load such a heater with fuel, clean the ash pan, etc.
• Low demands on fuel quality. Due to direct combustion in the boiler furnace, heat, which allows you to burn even contaminated biomaterial with high humidity.
• Energy independence. Direct combustion does not require sophisticated safety equipment. Automatic control the process is carried out by moving the blower damper.
• Fuel choice variability. It can burn in the boiler furnace (without retrofitting and re-equipment of the installation): firewood, coal, vegetable and wood waste.
• Low cost.

Disadvantages:

• Fairly low efficiency (70-75%). Thanks to the principle of combustion of organic matter, a large percentage of heat "flies into the chimney".
• Difficulty in operation. Small intervals between bookmarks make the operation of the boiler difficult.

Such a device requires constant attention, preliminary preparation of fuel in the volume necessary for operation. In principle, if you do not pay attention to some difficulties in operation, this type of solid fuel can be considered the best option for the organization of heating cottages. You can always purchase a solid fuel boiler with a stove that works on the basis of direct combustion.

Tip: if visiting a summer house in winter period is periodic, then experts recommend purchasing solid fuel direct combustion boilers without a water circuit. If water heating is a priority, then choose installations with electric heating of the coolant.

Gas generating heating systems

These boiler plants differ from those described above in the design of the fuel chamber, which gives increased efficiency(up to 90%) and decides main problem classical heating devices– allows you to increase the intervals between loading the combustion chamber.

The principle of operation of such a device is based on the oxidation of biomaterial in an environment with a low oxygen content. In the process of fuel combustion, pyrolysis gas is released, which is the main source of heat in this design of the boiler plant.

Advantages:

• Efficiency. Thermal energy is obtained from the smoldering of biomaterial and the combustion of pyrolysis gas.
• Increased time between fuel fillings (up to 12 hours).

Disadvantages:

• Complex design (low maintainability).
• Energy dependence. Requires power supply for injection of secondary air into the afterburner, for automation and instrumentation equipment.
• The high cost of the device.
• High requirements for moisture content of firewood.

These boilers are widely used due to their relatively economical fuel consumption and ease of maintenance. Such heat generators are most often used as one heating device for all heat consumption points and for creating hot water supply in the country.

Long-term installations

Heating devices long burning, thanks to the upper combustion, they can work without "refueling" for up to several days. Their fuel is wood and coal.

Main advantages:

• Efficiency 85-90%.
• High service intervals (up to 72 hours).
• Energy independence.
• Compared with pyrolysis models, low cost.
• Multifunctionality.

Disadvantages:

• The impossibility of adding firewood during the operation of the boiler plant.
• High requirements for fuel moisture.

Conclusion: boiler equipment long-term action can be used to heat the cottage, if the boiler is retrofitted with electric heating of the coolant.

There is another type of boiler equipment that is in demand by owners. suburban buildings at any time of the year - this is a solid fuel boiler for the shower. Such boilers are not responsible for heating, but for creating hot water in the house.

The device works on the principle of direct combustion. Their design is simple: body. With fuel chamber and blower. A water tank is built into the body. A chimney passes through the tank, which gives off part of the heat to heat the water in the tank.

Advantages:

• Simplicity of design.
• Compactness. Thanks to small sizes such devices can be placed directly in shower rooms.

There are no drawbacks (for such functionality).

Tip: as a rule, a solid fuel shower insert is made of cast iron, which has a high heat capacity. Even after stopping the operation of the boiler, it is necessary to ensure that the water supply tank is filled, since cast iron will give off accumulated heat for a long time, which can lead to boiling a small amount of water.

Owners of country houses quite often visit their dacha in the summer, and in winter they visit several times a month. Therefore, many owners do not consider it appropriate to design in a country house stationary system gas heating and solve the problem of low temperatures using electric heating. Unlike traditional types heating, electric heating of a country house has a number of significant advantages, among them:

A solid list of benefits makes owners think about heating design country house using devices powered by electricity, such as electric boilers, electric oil batteries, ceramic heating panels, heat guns, inverter batteries, infrared heaters, fan heaters.

A modern electric boiler for heating a summer house is one of the most common types of heaters. It can provide full heating in a country house that is not connected to the gas supply system. Having correctly selected electric boilers for heating a summer house in terms of power, you can use one device for efficient heating the entire area of ​​the house.

Approximately ten square meters area should account for one kilowatt of boiler power.

For example, a 6 kW electric boiler is suitable for heating a dacha with an area of ​​​​about 60 square meters. For large country houses exceeding 85-90 square meters, it is advisable to install an electric heating boiler of 9 kW, which will cope with its functions and will not work at peak performance.

Depending on the design features, there are several models of boilers:

Having picked up a certain design, you can order an electric boiler on the official website of the manufacturer. At the moment, the sale of electric boilers is carried out by many domestic and foreign brands. Therefore, before making the final choice of an electric boiler for heating a house outside the city, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the specifics of appliances from different manufacturers.

Electric boiler Proterm

A brand from Slovakia has been supplying Proterm electric heating boilers to domestic markets for a long time. All technology is different. good quality assembly, high degree of automation and security. By installing an electric Proterm boiler in the country house, the price of which is about $ 400 for a single-circuit model with a capacity of 6 kW, the owner will solve the problem of heating the house in cold winters for a long time.

If the cottage has a bathroom or shower, then it is necessary to buy a double-circuit electric boiler to provide the house with hot water. A Proterm boiler with two circuits is somewhat more expensive, but high price justified by the wide functionality and practicality of the device.

Russian-made boiler Evan

In the assortment of the Russian brand Evan for giving, you can pick up an electric double-circuit wall-mounted boiler whose price is about $ 800 for a model with a power of 12 kW. Boilers from this brand have a built-in circulation pump, expansion diaphragm, pressure gauge, remote room thermostat and power indicator. Thanks to a successful design, the electric heating boiler Evan is in no way inferior to imported counterparts.

To ensure the safety of the boiler, manufacturers have equipped it with a number of functions:

Electric boiler from the Rusnit brand

The affordable electric boiler Rusnit is also produced in the Russian Federation. By purchasing a 9 kW electric boiler in the brand line, the owner will be able to provide efficient heating in a country house, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bwhich is approximately 90 squares with a ceiling height of up to three meters. This boiler is characterized by easy installation, compact outer casing and easy adjustment of operation settings.

The boilers from the Rusnit brand are characterized by the following specifics:

• protection against overheating is provided;
• has a remote room thermostat;
• the power indicator function is programmed.

Electric boiler for a summer residence - the final choice

Having decided on the brand, the consumer will have to solve another dilemma, namely, to answer the question: install a 380v electric heating boiler in the country house or give preference to a model that works with a mains voltage of 220V? It should be understood that the first option requires good wiring that can handle high loads. Therefore, it is better for owners of old country houses with poor wiring to use an electric heating boiler 380v for heating, the price of which is about $ 500 for a 6 W model, it is better to refuse.

Summing up the consideration of the option of heating a summer house with the help of electric boilers, a number of nuances can be distinguished.

Device benefits include:

The disadvantages of devices should also be taken seriously:

• high electricity consumption;
• a solid investment in the purchase of a quality boiler from a reliable manufacturer.

oil batteries

Electric oil batteries appearance reminiscent of the usual water radiators, however, the heating of the coolant, in this case, the oil located in the metal case of the device, is carried out through the use of electrical energy. Various models of oil heaters are able to heat the air in a room with an area of ​​10 to 25 square meters. Often they are mounted on the floor and equipped with a number of auxiliary options, such as an operating timer and a thermostat.

Features of oil heaters:

Electric convector

This device is devoid of a number of disadvantages attributed to oil analogues, so at home in the country with the use of a convector it can be a reasonable choice. The convector uses a high-resistance metal coil to heat the air, hidden under an attractive compact body. When heating the lower layers of air, the natural principle of convection of air masses is included in the work and uniform heating of the entire country house is achieved.

Convector specifics:

Ceramic heating panels

More recently, electric heating systems of a country house began to be supplemented with ceramic panels. These devices have demonstrated excellent consumer performance. They have an aesthetic design, neat housing and easy installation. However, the main advantages of ceramic heating panels lie not at all in the competent design of the case, but in the features of operation. These devices are in many ways superior to convectors and oil heaters.

They can demonstrate the following capabilities:

The only nuance that should be studied by the owners country houses before making a purchase decision ceramic panel is the cost of the appliances. At the moment, the price of panels on the market is quite high, and given that several devices are required for full-fledged heating of the dacha, their purchase will result in a round sum.

Heat guns

In the country, you can use electric heating guns that will help maintain the desired temperature. These devices are environmentally friendly - during operation they do not create harmful emissions and do not pollute the atmosphere. Depending on the design features, the device can use a spiral or a heating element and work both from two-phase, and from a three-phase network.

When choosing an electric gun for giving, you should give preference to a model equipped with a thermostat.
