Wall radiators: oil, infrared, convectors

Electric wall-mounted radiator is an excellent alternative to the classic gas system in places where its installation is difficult or impossible. Such a progressive method of heating has a lot of advantages, thanks to which it is gaining increasing popularity, especially when arranging country houses.

Next, we will consider the nuances associated with the use of such equipment, as well as examine its varieties.

Advantages and disadvantages

Wall-mounted electric economical heating radiators for summer house will give you the following positive qualities:

Merits

1. Wide range of. Specialized stores can offer you a choice of a huge variety of options, differing in the number of sections, colors and dimensions. The most powerful specimens with 12 sections also have high efficiency.

1. Attractive appearance. Any wall-mounted electric radiator fits perfectly into the design of a modern apartment, in addition there are designer models that are notable for their particular beauty and originality.

1. Elementary installation instructions. The only thing you need to be able to do in this case is to drill holes in the walls, which are necessary for mounting hooks, on which the radiator itself is hung.

Tip: if the installation site is located far from the outlet, then it is better to extend the wiring, rather than use extension cords, which will interfere with the movement around the room.

1. High level of fire safety. The heating elements of the considered units do not come into contact with the other components, which excludes the possibility of spontaneous ignition.
2. Programming. One of the most striking advantages of electric radiators, allowing you to fully automate the work of the heating system. You can set the timer to turn the device on and off, set the cyclical nature of its operation and set a comfortable temperature for heating the air in the room.

Tip: if in your area the payment for electricity differs depending on the time of day, then you can program the equipment in question only for the cheapest hours, which will significantly save the family budget when paying for utility services.

1. Minimum installation requirements. Just one outlet is enough, which is just perfect, for example, for country houses, to which sometimes it is completely impossible to connect the gas main, but there is electricity.

1. No burning effect and air drying. Arrangement of forced ventilation and the use of humidifiers are not required.
2. The presence of automatic protection that does not allow overheating.
3. The low level of heating of the case excluding a possibility of receiving a burn.

Disadvantage

The only significant drawback that can be identified is the high price of electricity. But you can always set up an economical operating mode for the operation of your electric heating system, moreover, there is no need for costly pipe laying and ventilation installation, which also significantly reduces overall costs.

Kinds

Wall mounted electric radiators are as follows:

Option number 1: oil

The principle of operation of such heaters is to use an oil coolant, the temperature of which increases due to the work of a special electric heating element. From the oil, the body heats up, and the surrounding air from it.

It is noteworthy that the boiling point of the oil is much higher than that of water, this significantly increases the possibility of its heating, and, consequently, its performance. Also available for such units and all the necessary automation.

There are both classic horizontal and more original vertical models. It is also worth noting that water can sometimes be the basis of the coolant in heaters of this class.

Option number 2: infrared

The main feature of such a device is that it does not heat the air, but the object itself, which greatly increases the efficiency of its work. Thus, even though the equipment itself is not cheap, but its operation is quite economical.

Option number 3: convectors

Convection in this case is a mixing of air layers of different temperatures, which occurs mostly due to gravity. Warm moves up, cold settles down, and all this is carried out around an electric radiator, equipped with all the necessary automation.

Conclusion

Radiators, which are based on the use of electrical energy, are a great alternative to classical heating with gas. They are especially good for operation in country houses far from the gas main.
