A boiler is a storage water heater connected to a water supply system. Structurally, this is a large capacity, equipped with different types of heating elements. Boilers are installed in houses without connection to a hot water supply line. Division by type: gas or electric water heaters, combined or indirect heating boilers. In the apartment, you can use flow models in case the hot water is turned off. Gas boilers are more convenient for the home.

Gas, electric, indirect or combined?

Heating method

pros

Minuses

Gas

+ high power heaters;

+ operation at minimum pressures in water and gas supply networks (applies to instantaneous water heaters);

+ the presence of power regulators (step and smooth system);

+ hot water can be supplied to several draw-off points;

+ water heats up quickly

- the inconvenience of piezoelectric ignition (compensated by the purchase of a gas boiler with electric ignition, but such models are more expensive);

- additional costs due to the removal of combustion products.

- high price

Electric

+ relatively low cost;
+ work from the most widespread source of energy;
+ environmental friendliness associated with the absence of polluting emissions;
+ does not require high pressure in the water supply network;
+ Possibility to install multiple taps

- uneconomical, because they work on expensive electricity;

- provide low heating power;

- water heating requires a lot of time

Indirect

+ good thermal insulation;

+ there is the possibility of connecting to several sources of thermal energy (the heating period - the central heating system, the rest of the time - a single-circuit boiler);

+ does not increase the load on the electrical network, even in winter;

+ lack of direct contact between the coolant and hot water;

+ high performance

- the need to install boilers next to single-circuit heating boilers;

- the efficiency of work depends on the heating capacity of the boilers;

- high cost and large dimensions

Combined

+ the coating of the tank does not give in to corrosion;

+ if the volume of water is not fully used, it can return to the system;

+ possibility of connection to a two-phase power supply network;

+ when implemented on the basis of indirect heating boilers, energy consumption is minimized

- rather high cost;

- takes up a lot of space

The best gas boilers

Gas boilers are installed in private houses, cottages. They quickly heat a large volume of water with low fuel consumption. Natural gas prices are relatively low, hot water supply is economical. Gas boilers are convenient. The built-in regulators can set the degree of heating. Minus - the installation requires permission from the competent government agencies that regulate the rules for the installation and operation of gas equipment. The choice of gas boilers in stores is small. Basically, these are models of the Italian brand Ariston.

The best electric boilers

Electricity is available in towns and villages. Based on this fact, the idea of ​​water heaters using electricity as a heat source arose. The principle of operation of electric boilers is simple: a thermoelement is placed inside the body, which heats the water in the tank to the desired temperature, and then turns off under the action of the installed thermostat-fuse. Plus system - low price.The boiler is connected to a two-phase network, hot water can be diluted to several objects at once. Minus - uneconomical. High power, they heat water slowly, consume a lot of electricity.

The best indirect heating boilers

Economical and efficient, indirect heating boilers are powered by central heating. This is a tank connected to the DSP network, mixing, heating and distributing water through several water systems. A heating boiler can also be connected to it, the thermal element of which will become a heater for the water circulating in the storage tank. The advantage of such boilers is efficiency. The consumption of electrical energy is consistently low. However, their price will hit the wallet of the average buyer.

The best combined boilers

The operation of combined water heaters is based on the combination of several types of heating. Since the capacity of the tank is no different from other types of water heaters, and the combination is implemented mainly in indirect heating boilers, such capacities are enough to quickly heat water. Thermal insulation in them retains the high temperature of the liquid for a long time. For more reliable operation, it is better to provide for the installation of a boiler, at least a single-circuit one. Combined water heaters are justified for installation in private houses, as well as in large, spacious apartments. The expediency of their installation in small spaces is doubtful, since such a heater will take up too much space.
