With the advent of autumn, for most of us, the most worrying question is how to make the house warm with the least expense. About one of the options for arranging a heating system for the house - energy-saving convector heaters, we'll talk today.
Convector heaters for home
Choosing which heater is more economical for an apartment or a house, most experts are unanimous - convector. Moreover, a system of several correctly selected convectors is able to become a full-fledged alternative to centralized heating, not only in a small apartment , but also in a spacious country house . Of course, the purchase of such heaters will cost a little more than equipment for equipping a centralized heating system. But thanks to minimal installation costs and low operating costs, energy-saving convectors will pay off fairly quickly.
How does a convector heater work?
The convector heater operates on an air-convection current circulating through its body. Simply put, the principle of its operation is as follows: the flow of cold air, passing through the heater from below, heats up and rises. A special heating element is installed in the lower part of the energy-saving heater convector, which ensures quick heating of the air with minimal energy consumption. Structurally, the heating element of the convector consists of a conductive element, a steel tube and a radiator. For safety, a special sensor is installed in the casing of the convector heater, which is designed for automatic shutdown in case of overheating.
Pros and Cons of Energy-Saving Convector Heaters for Home
Strictly speaking, there are not many drawbacks to energy-saving convectors. One of the main - their relatively high cost. In addition, such heaters can not be quickly rearranged from place to place and during their operation, the formation of convection currents and drafts is possible. But many advantages allow you to close your eyes to these shortcomings.
To the advantages of convector energy-saving heaters for the home can be attributed :
- Maximum productivity . The efficiency at convectors is maximal among all heaters and is about 97%.
- Simplicity in installation, dismantling and operation . Most models will not require any special knowledge or call the wizard, thanks to detailed instructions that step by step illustrate the whole process.
- Long service life . Models of most manufacturers are designed for a period of 10 to 25 years.
- Safety in use . The outer surface of the convectors is practically not
heats up during work, so that they can be installed in children's rooms and premises with pets. In addition, the convectors practically do not dry the air. - The possibility of the task of various heating programs : temperature level, on-off cycles, etc.
- Absence of time for "acceleration" . Since the convector does not take the time to heat the coolant, it is possible to raise the air temperature in the room with its help as quickly as possible.
- Low noise level . The only sound emitting the work of such a heater is the periodic click of the thermostat.
- A wide range of models and a presentable appearance that allows them to fit into virtually any design.
