The main advantage of electric heating boilers is the ease of installation and minimal maintenance. In addition, electric boilers are easy to operate and highly automated. Electric boilers do not require flues, which also simplifies their installation and maintenance.
As a rule, electric heating boilers are mounted on the wall, which is very convenient in urban apartments or small houses. In addition, such boilers have the highest efficiency, which is 100%.
Buying an electric boiler means not only the ability to heat your home, but also to establish a constant source of hot water. This opportunity is provided by dual-circuit models of electric boilers.
In terms of power, electric boilers can be both low-power, designed for small rooms, and super-powerful for large buildings and apartment buildings. The only disadvantage of such equipment is the high energy consumption.
If there is a gas pipeline, installing gas heating equipment can be considered more profitable, since the price of gas is significantly lower than electricity. A floor-standing gas boiler is considered traditional and conservative heating equipment that has been used for several decades.
Floor-standing gas boilers are manufactured with a cast-iron or steel heat exchanger, come with atmospheric or blown burners, and differ in functions as single-circuit and dual-circuit.
Cast-iron heat exchangers have been used in gas equipment for a long time, cast iron provides durability and reliability, but is weakly resistant to impacts or vibrations. When installing a boiler with a cast-iron heat exchanger, care should be taken to ensure its stability and protection from mechanical damage. A steel heat exchanger is sensitive to temperature drops in the furnace; if it falls below 65 degrees, the steel may deform.
An atmospheric burner in a gas boiler allows it to operate quietly and is quite cheap, but it consumes more fuel compared to a blown burner. A blown burner is more economical in gas consumption, but creates some noise and is much more expensive.
A floor-standing gas boiler can heat both a single apartment and a whole house with an impressive area or large premises for industrial or production use. It is only important to correctly calculate the power.
