Most homeowners choose a gas boiler over an electric or solid fuel one. This is due to the availability of this energy resource. The main advantages should also be added high thermal power, good efficiency, low emissions into the atmosphere and the ability to heat a building with a large area of 150-300 sq.m.
There are several types of gas boilers for heating a private house. They can be classified according to several criteria. First of all, there are 2 categories of equipment:

The devices are available in condensing and converter types, they differ in the presence of a burner in the chamber. Also, the equipment is divided into classes according to the type of installation, so the following variations can be found on the market:
Regardless of the type of unit, it has an identical design, which consists of:
The principle of operation already depends on the type of technology. But in any case, the gas boiler is considered the most productive of the entire line of similar units.
For those who do not save usable space in the house and can afford to allocate space for the overall heating equipment, the best option is a floor-standing gas unit. In list best models turned out to be the following:
The Baxi single-circuit gas boiler from a well-known Italian manufacturer stands out among competitors with a high efficiency of up to 90%, which is 3-5% more than its counterparts.

In general, the unit is silent, does not cause any trouble. Cleaning is recommended once a year or as needed.
Gas heating equipment is very popular due to a wide range of advantages. The main ones to be highlighted are:
Disadvantages:
VIDEO: The main design data for choosing a gas boiler
Heating of a private house is being equipped different ways. The traditional oven, used in Russia for more than one century, is gradually losing its position. The electric and gas systems much more relevant today.
In the same time electric heating requires large financial costs, so its installation in large rooms is unprofitable. In this case great solution is an gas heating, in which the main carrier of heat energy is a gas boiler. When passing through a gas main, this type of heating is the least expensive.
In addition, it can be attributed to the safest types of heating.
The production of gas boilers provides for several options for equipment. The difference primarily concerns functional features.
There are two types of boilers:
This type is intended for the heating system. It's pretty compact. Its design provides for the heating of the heat carrier, which circulates in the heating system. It has several connectors with which it is possible to supply hot water.
The water heater in this case is selected taking into account household needs and according to the model of the boiler. At the same time, it is the boiler that maintains the set temperature. An automatic system allows you to regulate this process. In the warm season, the gas boiler is switched to the "summer" mode, the heating function is turned off.
Single-circuit models have a number of advantages that make them more in demand:
Their only drawback is the lack of an independent system for supplying hot water. For these purposes, a water heater heat exchanger is connected to the boiler.
The design of this type provides for the presence of two circuits, each of which performs its specific function. One circuit is dedicated directly to heating. The second one performs the function of a water supply system, with its help hot water enters the water supply system.
There are two possible modes:
According to their design features, double-circuit boilers are divided into two types:
Among the advantages that double-circuit gas boilers have, it is worth highlighting the following:
The disadvantages of double-circuit gas boilers stem precisely from the design features:
The classification of gas boilers is also carried out according to such a parameter as the output of combustion products.
In this regard, two types of equipment can be distinguished:
In the first case, the calorific value of the fuel is considered to be the lowest, and gases and vapors escape into the atmosphere.
Traditional or convection boilers have in their design:
In addition, this equipment provides some additional functions:
Such models have their advantages:
But it should be noted that the energy in this type of boilers is not fully used.
Capacitor equipment has a much higher efficiency. This is due to the fact that part of the vapors and gases formed during the combustion of the fuel go into the boiler system and condense in the heat exchanger. The resulting heat enters the device.
Thus, among the advantages of this equipment, it is worth noting the following:
But these devices also have disadvantages:
Gas boilers also differ in the installation method:
Outdoor gas equipment is made of cast iron, rather bulky. For its installation, it is necessary to provide a separate room with an area of about 9 sq.m. But at the same time, their main advantage is high power. It is advisable to use them for large rooms where high heat transfer is required. Durability is another plus of these devices.
Wall-mounted boilers are made of steel, lighter, more compact. At the same time, they are quite resistant to various mechanical damage. They do not require a lot of space to install. This perfect option for heating small spaces. But unlike floor standing, their power is somewhat lower.
The disadvantage of such boilers is a lower service life than that of floor-standing ones. It has to do with the material of manufacture.
One of the advantages is ergonomics and safety.
Each homeowner, when choosing a boiler, is guided, first of all, by two points - fuel economy and reliable automation. The latter will ensure safety in the event of a shutdown of the central gas supply or any malfunctions in the operation of the device.
But when choosing equipment, it is necessary to take into account other factors that to a large extent affect the quality of heating.
In addition, when choosing, you should be guided by the following recommendations:
The company produces gas boilers of various types - wall-mounted, floor-standing, steel, cast iron and occupies Russian market leading position. Lemax KSG and KSGV devices are in the greatest demand.
This equipment is made of steel and has all the main performance characteristics:
Devices of the Leader series are made of high-strength cast iron. The service life of this equipment is up to 25 years. It has an excellent protection system. Suitable for both open chambers and closed chambers.
One of the advantages of Lemax boilers is their quite low cost- from 12500 to 20500 rubles.
The Ukrainian company Anton has been manufacturing industrial and domestic gas boilers for decades. Produces boilers of various modifications. The most popular models are the classic Atmo boilers, which have the function of heating and hot water supply.
Among the main characteristics, the following should be noted:
Prices for this equipment range from 12,500 to 20,500 rubles.
This manufacturer is focused on the production of gas equipment for wall and floor type for private houses. In addition, the company also supplies the main components for boilers. The greatest demand is floor units Bear made of cast iron.
There are quite a few varieties of this product, but they are all connected by common characteristics:
The cost of this equipment depends on the modification and power and varies from 47,200 to 76,200 rubles.
No less common are the wall-mounted boilers Cheetah of this company.
All manufactured modifications of this series have common features:
The cost of such boilers ranges from 35,000 to 47,200 rubles.
This company for the production of gas equipment is one of the largest. All of its products are of high quality.
The following models are the most popular:
Ariston BS- economical double-circuit wall-mounted boiler. Its power is 25 kW. It has two heat exchangers and an excellent hydraulic system in its design.
Ariston Egis Plus equipped automatic system surge protection. It has two heat exchangers - one of copper, the second of of stainless steel which significantly increases the service life.
Ariston Clas B has in its design a boiler with a volume of 40 liters. This equipment is represented by wall-mounted double-circuit models.
Ariston Clas Evo System quite reliable in operation, durable. Designed for heating both a private house and office buildings.
The Italian quality of all these models is successfully combined with a very reasonable price. The cost of such equipment is affected by the type of device, its power. Taking into account these indicators, prices range from 45,000 to 20,100 rubles.
Main gas is the cheapest type of boiler fuel. If the village is gasified, then the owners of cottages often simply do not look towards other options. In this case, gas boilers for heating a private house - optimal solution. They are economical, easy to maintain and reliable. However, you need to choose this equipment wisely. There are many models with different characteristics and manufacturers on the market.
The main criterion for choosing a gas boiler is power. It is determined by the need of the dwelling for hot water for the heating system and water supply. It is not difficult to calculate it using average formulas for a particular house. But before you go to the store for boiler equipment, you need to analyze a lot of nuances. Various design features and there are a lot of additional options for this technique.
To choose the right model of a gas boiler in private house, it is necessary to determine in advance:
What is more important - high efficiency or simplicity and reliability of the design;
With its location (on the floor or wall);
How many circuits are required (one goes for heating, the second for hot water supply or "warm floor");
What material should the heat exchanger be?
The answers to these questions will allow not only to choose the most optimal option, but also to estimate the cost of equipment in advance. The more power and automation the boiler has, the more expensive it is. Here, as well as considering various types of roofing for the roof of your house, you will have to look for a middle ground. Some options are cheaper, but not as durable. And other roads, however, are often redundant in terms of characteristics.
You can mount the gas boiler on the floor or wall. Floor models are more bulky, but in most cases they have much higher power. Wall-mounted equipment is most often low-power (up to 40 kW) compact units. If the house is large in area, then you will have to purchase an apparatus for heating it. increased power installed on the floor. There are no options here, but for an apartment a small and instantaneous water heater on the wall is more suitable.
floor model
Most wall modifications come with cast iron heat exchanger. Cast iron is heavy but reliable. The coils made from it have a considerable margin of safety. And heating boilers with them are unpretentious and cheaper than other options.
Mounted option
Conventional gas boilers operate according to the convection scheme. In them, the burned methane releases heat, which, with the help of a heat exchanger, goes to the heating system. At the same time, the exhaust gas goes up into the chimney due to convection, taking with it part of the thermal energy along the way. The efficiency of such boiler equipment is about 80–90%.
However, gas-fired condensing boilers also exist, for which manufacturers indicate the power in the passports in the range of 105-110%. The fact is that in heat engineering, the efficiency is usually calculated from the lower calorific value of the fuel. That is, the thermal energy leaving the chimney is simply not taken into account.
But in condensing gas boilers, the exhaust is first sent to the recuperator. In it, the products of combustion are cooled and give off useful heat water before going up the chimney. For the full heating of the coolant in the radiators, this energy is not enough. However, it is quite enough to heat the return water.
As a result, the coolant that has cooled down in the radiators of the house, before getting back into the boiler furnace, is first slightly heated in the heat exchanger. So the overall efficiency of such units goes beyond one hundred percent.
A condensing boiler is more efficient than a convection boiler. However, it is more complex in design and will break more often. Plus, the resulting condensate is a weak acid. If the sewerage in a private house is autonomous, then the condensing equipment will have to be abandoned. It is impossible to drain acid condensate into a septic tank, all microflora in it will instantly die.
The simplest and cheapest gas boiler for heating a private house is a single-circuit one. It is made in such a way that all the water heated inside is sent exclusively to the heating circuit. In such a device, one burner and one heat exchanger.
The double-circuit option is a combination of two units in a single housing. Part of this gas boiler works to heat the coolant for batteries, and part to heat water for hot water supply. It is more complex in design, but more compact and cheaper than two separate devices. If the plans with the help of gas not only heat the house, but also heat water for plumbing or “warm floor”, then it is the double-circuit model that should be selected.
The classic design of gas boilers provides for an open gas combustion chamber. They work in the same way wood stoves and fireplaces. All fuels need oxygen to burn. In the case of an open firebox, it is taken directly from the room where the boiler is located. After combustion products with natural draft independently pulled out into the street through the chimney.
The closed chamber assumes the presence of a forced air pumping fan. Boilers with it have a higher efficiency, but they are much more expensive. They also need a constant power supply. Without power supply, such equipment will not work and heat the coolant for heating a private house.
Gas heating boilers with an open chamber are non-volatile and cheap. However, with poorly designed ventilation in a room with them, a lack of oxygen can form. This should not be allowed even in the boiler room, and in a residential area it is generally dangerous for households. Plus, equipment with a closed chamber is also noisy, you should not expect complete silence from a running fan.
The heat exchanger in the floor and wall boiler can be made of:
Bimetal.
Copper heat exchangers are the most efficient in terms of heat transfer, but also the most expensive. Reliable cast-iron counterparts that are ready to last up to half a century will cost the cheapest. However, they are the heaviest and most massive. Steel and bimetallic options are the golden mean when choosing between performance and cost.
Among the main advantages of gas water boilers are:
A minimum of effort when supervising the operation of the equipment;
Profitability of heating a private house due to the cheapness of fuel;
Ease of starting the boiler;
Long period between scheduled inspections and maintenance (once a year is enough);
Availability of non-volatile models.
The gas boiler is designed so that everything in it works by itself without human intervention. He pressed the "ON" button and an electric discharge went to the burner, which ignited the gas. As a result, the cottage immediately began to heat up.
The disadvantages of the considered heating boilers are as follows:
Explosiveness of methane (propane-butane in the case of using a gas tank);
The need to prepare a package of permits;
The obligation to conclude a contract for the maintenance of gas equipment;
In some cases, it will be necessary to equip a separate boiler room.
Choosing a gas boiler for the desired parameters is not difficult. Much more difficulties arise with its connection to networks. This is not a soft tile or foam block, which do not require any approvals. Boiler equipment refers to complex systems. It must be checked and serviced by a specialized company. Plus, before installing it, you still need to request technical conditions from the gas workers and prepare a project. It often takes up to a year to resolve all these issues.
According to the required power, a boiler for a private house is most often selected on the basis of a simplified calculation - for every 10 square meters of area, 1 kW of thermal energy is needed. For the northern regions, an increasing coefficient of 1.5–2 is applied, and for the southern regions, a decreasing coefficient of 0.7–0.9. Plus, about 20% of the capacity is laid in reserve and 20–25% for hot water supply. But these are all average figures.
In a complete thermal engineering calculation, it will be necessary to take into account:
Design features of external walls (thickness, material, degree of insulation);
The presence of windows and the level of thermal insulation of the attic;
Heat loss through the roof, foundation and ventilation;
Maximum possible and average outdoor temperatures in the region;
The presence of a "warm floor" and hot water supply;
Number of batteries;
The configuration of the heating system as a whole and much more.
Only an experienced designer can make such a calculation correctly. When choosing a gas coolant heater for heating on your own, it is best to focus on the figure of 1 kW per 10 sq.m. So the chance of error will be minimal.
The range of household class hot water gas equipment in Russia is huge. There is a boiler of any capacity for both a cottage and an apartment. These are the dimensions of the ondulin are strictly standardized, since the developer and manufacturer are, in fact, the same. And domestic and foreign manufacturers There are more than two dozen equipment for home boiler rooms in our market. And each of them has their own the lineup with some additional features.

At first glance, choosing a gas boiler for your cottage is a real hassle. It is necessary not only to calculate the power, but also to decide on a bunch of parameters. However, without a thorough analysis, the choice of such water heating equipment can end in failure. If the equipment turns out to be too powerful, it will simply run idle, or at peak load it will not have enough working pressure in gas pipe. A unit with insufficient power can even break down.
For a small house or apartment, it is best to take a wall-mounted model with a steel heat exchanger. It will come out inexpensively and with the proper performance parameters. To organize heating in a large cottage, you will have to equip a boiler room. The best option in this case, it is a floor-standing boiler with a cast iron heat exchanger.
Equipment with an open chamber is non-volatile and does not make noise, but gradually burns oxygen in the room where it is installed. Plus, she only needs a vertical and high chimney. If the ventilation in the room is permanent job gas burner is not designed, it is better to choose a closed analogue with forced air draft.
When choosing specific model it is important to look at the presence of safety elements in the boiler. The gas is explosive. If the equipment is not equipped with automatic shutdown of the fuel supply and its automatic ignition when extinguished, then it is better to refuse such equipment immediately.
Are you going to buy an efficient gas boiler that can provide heat in the most severe frosts? There are many factors to consider when choosing equipment for your home. What is the best option? What are the most important criteria? Owners of both private houses and apartments have to think about solving this problem.
Agree, it’s a shame to pay twice and end up with an insufficiently functional boiler that can’t heat Vacation home with the onset of cold weather. Therefore, before choosing a gas boiler in a store, you will have to weigh the pros and cons. Otherwise, you can take a far from suitable model.
We will help you determine the main criteria that dramatically affect the choice. Helpful Tips and important nuances are set out in our article. Photo materials and a selection of videos with advice from experienced experts in the field of heat supply are provided to help the homeowner.
Absence or constant interruptions district heating and hot water supply are forcing the owners of cottages and city apartments to create.
Their main element is a boiler, which, by burning fuel, heats the coolant for the heating system and water for domestic needs.
The choice in favor of gas equipment is due to the cost-effectiveness of using gas as a fuel. All other options for combustible fuel are more expensive or give less heat at times.
Plus, modern heaters of this type do not require constant supervision. Connected the unit to main pipe or a cylinder, and it works smoothly as long as there is something to burn.
The use of natural gas is the optimal solution for heating a private house in terms of fuel costs and operating costs.
However, in order for the gas boiler to function properly and in optimal mode, it is necessary to choose it correctly when buying and regularly service it after connection.
There are many different in functionality and special modules within the models of this equipment. The purchase of a gas heating unit should be approached thoughtfully.
There are many criteria for choosing a gas boiler, but the main ones are:
All these questions are closely related. The lack of space for a large unit or the desire to mount a device with an aesthetic appearance in the kitchen forces you to choose a wall-mounted model of less power than floor version. And the need to heat hot water for the washbasin and shower makes you look for a boiler with two circuits.
When choosing a heater, you should remember the need for its repair, if the workshop for after-sales service the selected model is not nearby, it is worth looking for another option
Contemporary thermal equipment has a stylish appearance, filled with all sorts of sensors and can operate in several modes.
Each gas boiler has a burner inside the body and a combustion chamber with a heat exchanger, but there are also models with circulation pump and other modules
First, the gas in the burner is ignited with electronic system or a piezoelectric element. Then, as a result of its combustion in the furnace, water is heated by means of a heat exchanger, which is sent to the heating system circuit.
This is how classic single-loop models work. To prepare hot sanitary water you need to choose or connect a boiler.

The choice of an internal heat exchanger must be approached with special attention. Water moves inside it, and a sufficiently powerful and high-temperature flow of thermal energy acts outside.
On the one hand, the material of its manufacture must be very durable, and on the other, heat-conducting. The more it transfers the heat generated as a result of combustion of the gas, the higher the efficiency of the installation.
Manufacturers equip gas boilers with heat exchangers from:
Due to the lack of a predisposition to corrosion from contact with water, the cast iron version is the most durable. But he has a lot of weight. And if used incorrectly, it can burst at the border between areas with very different temperatures. To prevent this, you will have to wash it more often.
Steel heat exchanger is the most common. It is cheaper than cast iron and copper counterparts. Plus, this metal has good ductility, which reduces the likelihood of cracks. However, the steel in the heating circuit quickly corrodes.
Copper is more resistant to corrosion processes and has best performance on heat transfer. The heat exchanger from it has a small weight and compact dimensions. But this option costs a lot of money.
In channel No. 1 of the bithermal heat exchanger, water is heated for heating, and in channel No. 2 - for hot water supply
According to the internal design, the heat exchange coil can be conventional and bithermal. The first involves connecting only one water circulation circuit, and the second two at the same time. Double-circuit boilers are equipped with a pair of conventional heat exchangers or one bithermal. The second option is cheaper.
Gas boilers are installed on the floor or hung on the wall. Models of the first type are called outdoor and are characterized by large dimensions. Most often they have cast-iron or steel heat exchangers. These options have best performance in terms of equipment price / power ratio, rather than wall-mounted counterparts.
On the one hand, the closed version has a higher efficiency and does not burn oxygen in the room, but on the other hand, such boilers are more expensive and depend on electricity. Without the latter, the gas heater with electric ignition will also stop working.
If there are problems with the uninterrupted power supply, then it is better to prefer equipment with piezo ignition, which by definition does not require electricity to operate.
To simplify your life, when choosing a gas boiler, special attention should be paid to it. Manufacturers offer a lot of additional options that greatly facilitate the operation of gas heating equipment.
A remote control with sensors helps to monitor the temperature in the rooms and regulate the operation of the gas boiler, choosing the most optimal mode
Power adjustment can be:
The simplest and cheapest option is a single-stage one with one ON / OFF button. The power of the boiler in this case is actually not regulated in any way. The burner in it is either on or off.
Models with two-stage adjustment suggest the presence of a pair of operating modes with different power.
From this point of view, units with a modulator are considered the best gas boilers, which allows you to smoothly adjust the intensity of fuel combustion. Automation, depending on the water consumption and the temperatures set by the owner, independently turns on right amount burners and adjusts their flame height.
To ensure safety, heaters are equipped with:
All this automation makes it possible to protect the heating equipment from damage in case of emergency situations, as well as to maximize the efficiency of its operation.
The presence of smart automation helps not only maintain comfortable temperatures in the rooms, but also reduce gas consumption
You can set up the boiler so that, in the absence of people in the house, it works in the minimum cost mode, and raises the temperature half an hour before the arrival of the owners room air to more comfortable levels.
The technical documentation for the gas heater necessarily contains information about the rated power. Before buying equipment is desirable. Often, the manufacturer there also indicates the quadrature of the room that this equipment will be able to heat.
But all this is rather arbitrary, without competent heat engineering calculations for a particular house, you should not choose a gas boiler.
The calculation of the required power is made taking into account the quadrature of the building, the configuration and type of the heating system, climate zone and many other factors
An experienced heating engineer in the calculations should take into account:
In addition, the quality of the fuel and the gas pressure in the line are taken into account. A separate calculation is made for DHW systems. And only then both figures are summed up and increased by 15-20% in reserve, so that the boiler can cope with both constant and peak loads without problems.

Video #2 How to select a gas-type heater, based on the declared power:
Video #3 Which floor boiler is best for a cottage:
It is essentially impossible to give unequivocal advice on which gas boiler to buy is better. The heater for hot water supply and the heating system for each particular dwelling must be selected individually. And this should be done only on the basis of the calculations of a competent heat engineer, taking into account all the nuances.
There are a lot of criteria and subtleties in choosing a boiler. Before going to the store, you should carefully study everything, but it is better to consult with a specialist in this field.
