Recently, the problem of saving energy for heating during household consumption has been particularly acute. Most people change windows, insulate walls, and even use additional heating systems. At the same time, many users of central boiler houses are beginning to refuse their services, switching to heating with electric convectors, since they consider it more economical and practical.

Features and specifications

First we need to say that this article will describe only some of the characteristics of these structures and their advantages. The installation itself will also be affected, although it is fairly simple, but all the problems associated with trimming old batteries and collecting the necessary documents for this will not be there. Such services are provided by specialized companies and sometimes their methods are very peculiar, although they are productive.

Various types of such products that can be used both as portable and as stationary systems

Merits

  • Even heating a private house with electric convectors can be called one of the most economical. In small rooms, however, such systems can reduce costs several times, without affecting the quality of air heating.

  • It should be noted that when using such systems, it is necessary to draw up another contract with the electricity supplier, which involves using it to heat the room.. This will make it possible to pay bills at minimum rates. Some companies involved in the sale and installation of such systems, take such a design.
  • It is believed that if electricity is lost in the house, such devices will not be able to work.. However, it is necessary to take into account that the boiler house also uses systems that need this kind of power, which also implies a shutdown.

  • You can install such products with your own hands without the help of specialists.. However, this is possible if there is a good wiring with the appropriate cross section. Otherwise, you need to create a separate supply.
  • The use of these systems makes it possible to control the temperature in the room and keep it at the same level.. At the same time, an empty room can always be turned off or maintained in it a minimum mode.

  • If necessary, all equipment used in the work can be dismantled and moved to another place.. However, it should be said in advance that its cost may be quite large, depending on the model and manufacturer.

Tip! Complete replacement of radiators with convectors of this type is considered a rather serious investment, which can be recouped only in two or three years. However, then this design will begin to bring significant savings.

Batteries of this type have a very original appearance that will look great in any interior.

Selection

First of all, it is necessary to say that by such a criterion as the price in this case, you should not be guided. The fact is that there are a lot of products that have approximately one value and at the same time are very different in their quality and service life.

There are types of devices that can be embedded in the floor, which allows to increase the efficiency of work and does not spoil the appearance

Considering this, the majority of specialists, answering the question of how to choose this device, advises first to determine the area on which it will work. Many manufacturing companies specifically develop models designed for specific room dimensions. At the same time, their cost increases proportionally, which means you should not buy too powerful systems for a small room.

All these products must have the appropriate quality certificates.

Further, attention is paid to the presence of such functions as maintaining a certain temperature or on-delay. They allow you to achieve maximum savings and make independent control of the whole process. Only after that you can focus on the cost and the choice of the manufacturer.

Tip! Systems without temperature control or having a small range should not be acquired at all. It is better to overpay for the goods at the stage of its acquisition than to spend much more in the process of exploitation.

A variety of such heating devices is very large, which means that when choosing a particular product, you must have all the data on different lines from various manufacturers

Recommendations of specialists

  • First of all, the installation manual strongly recommends that you first conduct an independent study and determine the most economical type of heater, considering not only its own cost, but also the amount of energy consumed. Based on this, you can get a period for which the system pays off.
The presence of a large number of programs will significantly diversify the order and mode of use of heaters, which will increase the level of savings
  • If you plan to replace gas heating for such convectors, then you should know in advance about all the necessary documentation and services that issue the appropriate permissions.
  • It must be remembered that all electrical devices of this type have a rather large capacity. Therefore, for their safe operation it is best to use special, separate wiring. This point needs to be discussed separately when concluding a contract with the installers, as this will lead to additional costs.
The obvious advantages of radiators of this type over other heating systems and the enormous possibilities for independent regulation of temperature maintenance make such products leaders in this field.

Conclusion

After studying in detail the video presented in the article, you can get more information about these types of heater. At the same time, taking into account the text laid out above, it is necessary to conclude that such convectors can be safely called some of the most economical devices for maintaining a certain temperature in the room.
