The heating convector is a brilliant invention. The principle of its operation is based on the law of physics, according to which hotter air always rises, and colder air, on the contrary, sinks to the floor. Such a device does not require a forced suction system. The air itself passes through the heater, rises to the ceiling and displaces unheated masses, and they, in turn, repeat this path.
Our rating considers exclusively electric models, which are distinguished by the most economical energy consumption. With the same consumption, different convectors can show different consumption results. This is ensured by a number of factors:
- heater type;
- rated power;
- heat exchanger size;
- the presence of a thermostat;
- the possibility of manual and automatic power adjustment;
- additional functions.
An electric convector uses a heating element for heating. It can be open or monolithic. The second option is more preferable, as it lasts much longer - up to 20 years. Rated power is calculated using the formula 1 kilowatt per 10 square meters. But some models, due to increased efficiency, change this scheme in a more attractive way. Efficiency is also affected by various adjustment options. Ideally, if the device has a fine-tuning that allows you to set the parameters in the most saving mode.
TOP 10 most economical convectors
10 Noirot Aurea Smart ECOcontrol
Country: France
Average price: 60 200 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.3
Noirot, apparently, decided to fit all its technological developments into a small device. So many electronics have been put into the electric convector that it must have simply huge dimensions. However, the device is quite compact, with wall or floor type of placement. It has everything - from automatic control of heating and humidity levels to motion sensors. The usefulness of the latter is extremely doubtful. Also, the device can be controlled remotely using a smartphone.
The convector is economical and reliable. But we can not give him a higher line in the ranking. The price of 60 thousand rubles simply does not allow this. Options such as overheating protection, an insulated housing and frost resistance are much needed. But they are not unique and are used in many other devices that are many times cheaper and are not inferior to this model in terms of reliability. In general, a great option for a home if you are willing to pay that kind of money for heating.
9 Royal Clima REC-MP2000E Milano Plus Elettronico
Country: Italy (made in China)
Average price: 3 900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
It would seem that the inhabitants of warm Italy can know about heating. However, in this country there are many well-known companies for the production of climate technology. Royal Clima is one of them. Its unique feature lies in the most affordable prices. Yes, the product was released in China, but this does not prevent many companies with a similar approach to production from still inflating the price tag.
Before us is the cheapest electric convector, definitely worthy of attention. It is very economical. With a power consumption of 2 kilowatts, it is able to heat a room of 25 square meters. It has 4 degrees of adjustment, allowing you to set the temperature regime as accurately as possible. Or you can use the electronic system. True, she is not the best here. It is possible to set only the timer and the warm-up level. There is no job programming. But installation is acceptable both wall and floor. Very convenient for cottages with limited space.
8 Stiebel Eltron CON 30 Premium
Country: Germany
Average price: 31 800 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
It is believed that an economical convector should have a power of no more than 2 kilowatts. In fact, this indicator is not fundamental. For example, Eltron CON 30 Premium from the popular German brand Stiebel is equipped with a 3 kilowatt heater, but it is as economical as possible. All thanks to the fast warm-up system and smart electronics.
Great solution for home. The device is able to control the temperature in the room and instantly raise it to the required level.It is the warm-up speed that is its main advantage, along with reliability and a huge number of additional options that are responsible for both energy saving and safety. The device could take first place in our rating, but it has a significant drawback that immediately catches your eye - the price. A very expensive device. Yes, it was released in Germany, not in China, but even this does not justify the cost of more than 30 thousand rubles.
7 Atlantic F125 Design 2500W
Country: France (produced in Ukraine)
Average price: 8 600 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Economic mode of operation can be achieved by electronic adjustment systems, but manual setting is considered to be the most preferred. In this case, we have three modes at once, allowing you to set the parameters as accurately as possible. If the convector is used for the home, you can use the electronic functions. The device has a unique programming system. With its help, you set the operating mode so that in your absence the heating is minimal and increased when you return home.
Placement type - wall. It is not possible to install the device on the floor. However, this is not a problem, since even at maximum load, the surface of the convector heats up no more than 60 degrees. That is, you can even place it behind a curtain. And the disadvantages include the open type of heating element and the lack of a ventilation mode without heating. This does not affect energy saving, but it affects the service life.
6 TESY CN 03 200 EIS
Country: Bulgaria
Average price: 9 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
An electric convector must be not only reliable and safe during operation, but also protected when switched off.Especially if it is used for a summer residence or a technical room where constant heating is not required. Condensation accumulates on the surface and gets inside, threatening to destroy delicate electronics. With this device, there will be no such problems. Its main advantage is the most protected case.
This is not the only plus. It will also please you with a large number of additional functions. For example, electronic temperature control. And to make the convector even more economical, manual control is available. Three degrees of heating allow you to set the most optimal mode to achieve minimum energy consumption. When fully turned on, the device consumes 2 kilowatts, while it is able to heat a room up to 25 squares.
5 Polaris PCH 2089D
Country: USA
Average price: 4 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Electric heating requires constant monitoring. A high degree of fire hazard forces you to constantly disconnect appliances from the network, which is extremely inconvenient and spends a lot of time warming up the room after the heater is turned on again. With this convector you will forget about the problem. There are so many cryoelectronics installed in it that you don’t have to worry at all. An ideal option for giving, which will maintain the optimal temperature in the room so that it does not freeze, and increase heating when you visit.
Smart electronics controls all stages of operation - from the input voltage to the output of heated air. In addition, you can follow what is happening with the help of a smartphone, to which the convector transmits all the information. Also note the economy mode. When consuming 2 kilowatts, the device heats a room up to 30 square meters.And wall or floor mounting will allow you to install it in any place convenient for you.
4 Ballu BEP/EXT-2000

1 Ballu BEC/EVU-2500
Country: Netherlands (produced in Russia)
Average price: 7 280 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
Before us is the most economical and at the same time reliable electric convector, produced by Ballu, one of the leaders in the climate technology market. Here the company used a unique heater of its own design called HEDGEHOG. This is a monolithic heating element that increases the efficiency of the device by 20 percent, its safety is confirmed by both European and Russian certificates.
According to the conclusions of a number of research laboratories, the convector saves up to 70 percent of the energy consumed. This was made possible thanks to another innovative development of the company - the digital INVERTER control unit. It determines the temperature in the room as accurately as possible, and also calculates what it will be after a certain time period. That is, the device does not turn off at the moment when the desired temperature is reached in the room, but a little earlier, which results in savings.
