Since the old version of the boiler house, working on wood and coal, does not suit everyone, especially in the modern attitude to the environment, many choose gas or electricity as a fuel source. It is worth considering electric heating boilers for private homes to determine if this is a good alternative to the traditional option.
There are several options for using electrical energy in heating systems: direct use, when heating appliances are directly heated, as well as indirect, when it comes to additional equipment that heats the coolant.
The second option assumes that the system uses electric heating boilers for private houses. Such units have fairly simple design features. They are based on a heat exchanger, which is made in the form of a tank, inside whichlocated heating elements connected to the electrical network. With their help, water or other coolant in the tank is heated, then circulates through the pipeline of the building, filling the convectors and radiators. In its composition, heating electric boilers for private houses may contain a safety valve, an expansion tank, a circulation pump. The valve is necessary for those cases when excess pressure is created in the system in order to relieve it. This principle of the device is completely similar to that used in gas or liquid fuel installations.
Heating a private house with an electric boiler, reviews of which are quite contradictory, is distinguished by such dignity as environmental safety. During their operation, neither smoke nor soot is generated, that is, you have the opportunity to breathe with ease, even being in close proximity to the device, which works at full power. Another positive point is the silent operation, which makes it possible to place equipment near the living space.
If electric heating boilers for private houses are equipped with a control unit, the equipment will be able to work in automatic mode. The use of such heating eliminates the need to equip a chimney, pull a gas pipeline from the main, or a fuel pipeline from the tank. Ease of maintenance and operation of the device is another important advantage that allows you to significantly save on service.
However, an electric boiler for heating, the price of which is 4,650-10,700 rubles, has one drawback - high electricity consumption. The high efficiency of 99% does not save here. It is this reason that does not allow the widespread use of such devices.
Devices are equipped with an automated control system, through which you can very accurately adjust the required temperature. In manual mode, stepwise power control is assumed, using external indication. Such equipment will cost much less.
