A person always strives for independence, even in creating an interior he has a great desire to show his individuality. One example is the installation of individual heating in an apartment. But we are still, to some extent, limited by rules and generally accepted norms.
You can discuss the options for the location of the boiler with the foreman. If your wishes are taken into account, his task is to connect and draw up the documents.
Advantages of a parapet boiler
The chimney can be called the grandson of the stove, and the parapet will probably be its great-grandson - it is so modernized and even equipped with electronic programming.
But its main advantage is not super-efficiency, but a coaxial chimney system that supplies air to the boiler not from the room, but from the street, while simultaneously removing exhaust gases.
Advantages and disadvantages of solid fuel boilers
With all the advantages of modern solid fuel boilers, they are not without certain inconveniences, of which there are several:
- boilers need frequent loading of fuel - 2-6 times a day. The exception is models with a spacious bunker, the presence of which significantly increases the cost of the equipment;
- when loading the boiler with fuel, a certain amount of flue gases may enter the room;
- require maintaining a constantly high temperature of the coolant, otherwise during the burning of wood a large amount of resin will be released, settling on the sections of the heat exchanger;
- Regular cleaning of the firebox and removal of ash is required;
- cannot be quickly brought up to rated power and also cannot be stopped quickly.
The buyer is aware of the advantages of solid fuel boilers much better than the disadvantages, so the latter are deliberately placed in first place. And yet it is necessary to mention the advantages:
- availability of fuel regardless of region;
- environmental friendliness;
- absence of explosive fuel and, as a result, high safety of the heating system, subject to operating rules.
Decor options
Often there is a desire to hide equipment so that it does not stand out as a stain in the overall environment. Look at sites with the topic - kitchen design with a boiler - there are a lot of suggestions on how to do this. Choose the most suitable option.
It’s more difficult when you need to install it into already installed furniture. This also has advantages - you may want to think about how best to install a gas boiler so that it looks harmonious among the furniture.
This is usually solved by installing a false cabinet without a back wall. Make it yourself, or if you don’t want it, order it from a workshop.
Do not forget that you are dealing with gas equipment: there must be access for its operation and repair if necessary.
How to choose the most economical boiler?
It is important to choose a unit that will meet the operating conditions in your case, and will also fit the entire heating system. The choice largely depends on the type of heat generator. Gas boilers are presented in three types:
- atmospheric with an open combustion chamber;
- pressurized with a closed chamber;
- condensation
Any of these units can be floor or wall mounted. Plus, you can use dual-circuit models to provide residents with hot water at any time. If you are choosing which electric boilers are the most economical and efficient, pay attention to induction models. They are more expensive than conventional electric or heating elements, but their efficiency is noticeably higher. In the case of gas units, there are several nuances. To understand which boilers are the most economical for your home, you need to take them into account.
Boilers with an open combustion chamber?
If you need maximum efficiency, this option is not suitable. In them, the efficiency is usually no higher than 85%, and the gases exit into the pipe at temperatures up to 150 degrees. That is, heat loss is large. In addition, if there is an excess of air, the efficiency also decreases. Another feature is that the burner operates in only one mode. It can only turn on and off periodically. This provokes higher gas consumption. However, boilers with an open chamber have a number of important advantages:
- they are among the cheapest on the market;
- work regardless of whether there is electricity;
- The design is simple and reliable, it does not contain complex electronics.
There are also energy-dependent units with built-in controls and automation that require electricity, but their efficiency is no higher than usual.
Turbocharged heat generators
On the list of which boilers are the most economical and practical, turbocharged boilers with a closed combustion chamber are somewhere in the middle. Due to the closed chamber and forced air supply, the efficiency here is noticeably higher - up to 92%. In such boiler models, two-, multi-stage or modulating burners are installed. They are more efficient and allow better savings on heating costs. The burner allows you to regulate the intensity of combustion, even reducing the power to a minimum if necessary.
The presence of an electronic control unit has a positive effect on efficiency. It can independently regulate the power of the burner depending on the heat load.
Condensing boilers
In the ranking of economical heating systems, condensing boilers come first. Their efficiency can reach 96%. This is possible thanks to the closed design of the heat exchanger. The heat that is released during the formation of steam is used again - when the steam comes into contact with the heat exchanger, it condenses and then returns the energy back.
Therefore, to the question of which heating boilers are the most economical, our answer is condensing boilers. But only on the condition that you have no interruptions in the power supply at home or you use an uninterruptible power supply or an electric generator. The cost of such units is higher than their analogues, but the efficiency and cost-effectiveness are better. A good option for a private home both within the city and outside the city.
Redevelopment
Typically, kitchens occupy a small area with maximum load. Placing additional furniture is not always possible. Installing equipment with its communications clearly will not add comfort.
Try to arrange the furniture to hide it as much as possible. This is not possible - use existing wall cabinets and convert them to accommodate its installation. You can easily complete this task yourself.
Electric heating boilers of the LUX class EXPERT, EVAN
EVAN EXPERT is a new generation electric boiler that provides the most economical energy consumption and the most comfortable conditions for connection and operation. The unique heating algorithm that the device uses is based on an analysis of street and room temperatures. The corresponding sensors are included in the scope of delivery. Constant monitoring of weather conditions and instant response to changes in both the external environment and indoors allow the electric boiler to maintain the specified climatic parameters in the room as accurately as possible with minimal electricity consumption. The device itself selects the required coolant temperature and the required number of power stages involved. No human intervention is required in the heating process. You just need to set the desired temperature in the room, for which the boiler has several different modes, including a weekly programming mode, with which you can set the air temperature for each day and hour of the week.
EVAN EXPERT is a mini-boiler room, which already has everything you need:
• built-in circulation pump, • expansion tank, • air vent.
A multi-stage protection system is provided by an emergency self-resetting sensor (protection against overheating), a safety valve (protection against overpressure), and an automatic switch (protection against short-circuit currents). Thanks to monitoring the presence of phases, when one of the phases fails, the automation and controls of the boiler switch to the operation of the remaining one. At the same time, the automation takes into account the excessive processing of power relays and heating elements in the remaining phases, and when normal power is restored, the uniformity of flow is restored.
EVAN EXPERT can control the operation of an indirect DHW boiler (purchased separately). The control is implemented on the principle of priority of water heating for water supply. That is, if the water temperature in the boiler drops below the set value, the boiler, by switching the three-way valve, directs the flow of coolant to the water heater coil.
Another distinctive feature of the new electric boiler is its expanded service capabilities. The EVAN EXPERT service menu has a unique debugging mode, with which you can check the operation of each of the controls.
Powder painting
Maybe the ideas on how to hide a boiler in the kitchen are too radical, spies say: in order to reliably hide it, you need to leave it in a visible place.
The use of vacuum installations makes it possible to apply textured coatings of different colors and wood imitation. By decorating the cauldron in this way, you will make it not a burden, but a decoration; for this you will only need to paint the lid.
Advantages of installing an electric boiler
Among the main advantages that such equipment has, special attention should be paid to those that make its installation in a private home the most successful solution. These include the following:
These include the following:
- You can install an electric heating boiler in any building, provided it has access to the network. Moreover, all other criteria such as ceiling height and total area of the building do not play any role in this case;
- The installation process of electric heating boilers is very quick, and the work itself is not difficult. The requirements for operating these mechanisms are very similar to the recommendations for working with a boiler.

The principle of boiler efficiency
Ideally, a heating boiler must first effectively burn liquefied or natural gas, and then redirect the resulting heat to heat the coolant. But in reality, everything does not always go so smoothly, and for these reasons:
- To effectively burn fuel and obtain maximum thermal energy, it is necessary to mix gas and oxygen in a precise ratio (approximately 1:10). Not every heating device can do this.
- During the fuel combustion reaction, carbon dioxide and water are formed, which immediately begins to evaporate, taking away part of the thermal energy.
- Heated combustion products by their nature cannot completely transfer energy to the heat carrier; a certain part of it still leaves through the chimney. This value will depend on the design of the boiler equipment.
Thus, one part of the energy contained in the fuel is lost during the combustion stage, and the second part is lost during thermal transfer. The lower these losses, the more productively energy is consumed and the more economical the gas boiler is. The operating efficiency of a heating device is expressed in its efficiency, which is indicated in the manufacturer's instructions. The higher this characteristic, the more thermal energy is directed to heating the coolant and the gas is burned more economically.
The efficiency of modern gas equipment depends on the design of the boiler and is in the range of 80−95%. The more inflated power ratings indicated by manufacturers of heating appliances do not correspond to reality.
