How to choose and what to look for?

Modern models of heating systems have a number of characteristics that must be considered when choosing:

• Type of device - There are oil radiators, electric and gas convectors, infrared radiators, heat fans;
• Power - It directly affects the area that can heat the unit;
• Control - Many modern heaters are equipped with an electronic control system and remote controls;
• Dimensions - The size is especially important when storing the units after they are no longer needed. In addition, in small rooms, oversized heaters can simply interfere with movement or work.

Types of heaters and their brief description

Type of device - an important parameter when choosing a heater model.

There are 5 types of such heating devices:

• Oil radiators are externally similar to conventional radiators, but they operate from the mains and use oil as the heat transfer medium. The devices are efficient, durable, noiseless in operation, with good mobility. Modern models are equipped with good protection mechanisms, are optimal in terms of energy consumption.
• Convectors use current for heating. The heated air passes through the holes in the walls according to the laws of physics. The main advantage of such devices is the accurate temperature setting.
• IR-emitters do not heat the air, but the surrounding objects. The air is slightly cooler than the surfaces, so this type is worth getting used to.
• Heat fans provide artificial convection of air heated by the heating element. They heat the room quickly, but load the network and make noise during operation, which can cause discomfort at night.
• Gas convectors use the flame of burning propane as the heating source. They are optimal in homes connected to the gas mains. However, such heaters are undesirable to use in rooms without ventilation.

Types of heating elements, which is better and their brief description

In addition to the classification according to the type of work, heaters can be further classified according to the type of heating element:

• Stitch element - Steel wire, located on a dielectric core, which during the operation of the device gets very hot. Air has no time to cool the element, the wire heats up to red. Dust easily burns when in contact with such a heater, so you can smell the smell of burning in the air. One of the most unsafe and outdated elements, but can be found even in expensive convectors.
• Steel heating element with aluminum jacket - Aluminum easily absorbs heat from the steel core. Safer and more reliable, but because of the difference in temperature coefficient of expansion of the two metals is deformation of steel and the characteristic clicks during operation and cooling.
• Monolith - A modern and at the same time expensive variant, made of silumin. It does not make noise during heating, the entire element is involved in the heat exchange. The higher the area of the element, the higher the efficiency of the heater.

Convector or oil heater - which is better?

It is somewhat difficult to compare these heaters - they have a different principle of operation, respectively, there are certain advantages and disadvantages in the same conditions, which can be compensated in different conditions.

Using for comparison the general technical characteristics, convectors have a slight advantage.

Oil radiators periodically click a relay during the activation of the protection, convectors are mostly silent.

Oil radiators do not allow for accurate temperature setting, as opposed to convector equipment.

Fire safety of radiators and electric convectors is high, while gas ones require compliance with fire safety rules.

Quartz heaters - effective or not?

Quartz models - an alternative source of heating. They consist of a nickel heating element placed in a quartz block.

During heating, infrared rays are generated, heating the surface of the objects. In parallel, convection and mixing of air masses takes place.

The advantages of these devices are:

• high efficiency;
• low cost;
• safety in use;
• noiseless operation;
• long service life;
• unusual appearance.

However, this type of heaters has a number of significant drawbacks:

• fragility;
• low mobility and heavy weight;
• high surface temperature;
• no thermostat.

Energy-saving heaters - a myth or reality?

Mentions of energy-saving heaters are increasing every year. Of course, technology does not stand still, and modern models take into account the increased load on the power grid.

However, the most important aspect in saving energy is not the heater itself and its technology, but the environment.

With high heat loss due to poorly insulated walls and floors do not wait for results in reducing energy consumption - the high thermal conductivity of the house is to blame.

If, however, insulation norms are met, the efficiency of such models will depend on heat dissipation. In this case, energy-saving technology becomes a reality.

What company to choose?

The manufacturer is the key to the quality and durability of the heater. The market is rich with global brands and young manufacturers worthy of attention, producing their products in the price/quality ratio.

According to experts, the best in this niche are considered:

• Ballu - Russian manufacturer of climatic devices. Operates on foreign technology. The most remarkable are devices with a monolithic heating element - they do not dry the air and do not burn oxygen.
• Noirot - is a brand from France that has been on the world market for more than 70 years. Is a leader in the field of electric heating devices. They regularly introduce new technologies and innovative developments. It was this manufacturer who first installed an electric thermostat in their devices.
• Nobo - Norwegian company from 1918. Are popular in Europe, in the domestic market is not yet so popular, but attention to them is growing every year.
