Rules for choosing an electric boiler - basic principles

Today, boilers are a popular means of heating.

They exist in three types:

• gas ;
• electrical;
• solid fuel.

This article will focus on electric boilers, or rather, what to look for in order to choose the right electric boiler .

Why did we choose this equipment?

Because it is the most functional, safest, cheapest equipment that does not require any permission to install and use.

In places where there is no gas pipeline and heating with a gas boiler is not possible, an electric boiler is the best alternative.

Also, as an option, solid fuel boilers will be cheaper, but they are more suitable for private homes. Not everyone has the opportunity to use and stock up on firewood, such equipment also requires the provision of a chimney and a separate room for the boiler room.

A universal and simple solution is the electric boilers of the Norwegian company Leberg in Ukraine .

Electric boilers are different - different sizes, power, many additional functions and features, and, of course, the price.

What criteria you should pay attention to when choosing an electric boiler, we will understand below.

Principles for choosing an electric boiler - equipment, power, control, price

To make it easier for yourself to choose an electric boiler , it is necessary to determine some indicators of this equipment, such as:

1. equipment;
2. power;
3. price.

Electric heating boiler - complete set

There are boilers in the basic configuration , and there are with additional functions and elements, for example:

• devices for protecting the apparatus and system from excess pressure and overheating, safety valves;
• air vents;
• sensors that determine the temperature of air, pressure, coolant;
• circulation pump for pumping coolant in the heating system;
• expansion tank, which compensates for the thermal expansion of the coolant.

If these elements are not available, they still have to be purchased. Premium class boilers are already equipped with such devices.

The electric heating boiler TM Leberg was originally equipped with the Italian hydraulic group OTMA.

The main criterion when choosing an electric boiler is power

In order for the operation of the purchased electric boiler to be effective, it is necessary to know the characteristics of the room that needs to be heated, in terms of area.

The power of the boiler depends on the installed heating elements . They heat water in heat exchangers, which circulates throughout the system using a circulation pump. The number of heating elements may be different.

And the voltage in the network is also important, usually it is 220 kW or 380 kW. Approximately for 10 sq.m we take 1 kW of boiler power.

A wide power range of Leberg Eco-Heater electric boilers from 4.5 kW to 30 kW allows you to choose an electric boiler that is most suitable for your room. Accordingly, the higher this indicator, the equipment is designed for a large area.

Electric boiler control type

According to the type of control, electric boilers are divided into manual, digital or programmable.

In particular, power adjustment can be stepped and smooth.

In programmable electric boilers, the program automatically determines the operating parameters of the device based on signals from temperature sensors at the current time.

Also, automated boilers are able to work with multi-tariff meters: they increase the power of work at night and reduce it during the day, when the basic tariff for electricity is set, thereby saving up to 40% on heating.

Electric boiler in Ukraine - price

We won't talk much here. The price is directly proportional to all of the above.

An electric boiler in the basic configuration with additional purchased additional elements and devices will cost more than a boiler originally equipped with everything you need.

If it is difficult to make all the necessary calculations and decide on the choice of an electric boiler , then it is better to contact qualified experts from Leberg.

Make the right decision and meet the winter fully armed.
