Advantages and disadvantages of electric boilers for heating
Electric boilers for heating private houses used in cases where there is no possibility to install gas boiler or to connect to the district heating.
In this connection, as well as to the availability of sufficient electrical power for their connection and identifies the advantages and disadvantages that can be summarized as follows:
- fire safety;
- environmental friendliness;
- compactness;
- the ability to work offline;
- easy installation;
- not to install the required permits and approvals;
- ease of maintenance and use.
- need for electrical power margin according to the supply contract;
- the availability of technical possibility of electrical building networks to connect additional load;
- increase in billing expenses for consumed electricity;
- the possibility of using only a certain heating system circuits using forced circulation of coolant;
- there may be restrictions on used radiators (radiators) and type of coolant, depending on the design of the boiler and its components.

The main technical parameters
The main technical characteristics of determining the possibility of installing and using electric heating boiler, are the following:
- Electric power - determines the ability of the device to heat the coolant to a predetermined temperature in view of its volume and losses in the heating system. Measured in kilowatts and is the main technical characteristic, which determines the electric energy consumption and the maximum possible area of heated rooms.
- Heated area - characterizes the performance of the device and determines the size of the premises, which is able to heat the heater in the normal mode.
- Rated voltage - it depends on the type of boiler and the electricity network of a house.
- execution - this parameter defines the location of the assembly: floor, attachments or running.
- Number of circuits - defines the functionality of the device.
The boiler electrical bypass allows the building heating hot water system.
- Availability of additional options - built-in circulating pump, control and information using GSM, as well as the electrical circuit protection systems and other equipment.
The presence of GSM-thermostat allows you to control the boiler working remotely
Kinds of electric heating boilers
Electric boilers for heating private houses are classified in accordance with the principle of work and used are of the following types:
- induction.
This type of heating units involves heating the coolant by means of eddy currents created by the magnetic field in the secondary windings when an electrical current to the primary.
The primary and secondary windings, and tubes through which the coolant passes and in which eddy currents are formed, are accommodated in a single casing, established in the heating system.
- electrode.
This type of boiler relates to a flow-type devices, their operating principle is based on the ionization of molecules of the coolant, thereby heating it occurs.
- equipped with heating elements.
This is the simplest and most affordable form of heating equipment. The principle of operation is based on converting electric energy into thermal energy in the heating element - PETN. Heating elements placed in the expansion tank (a tank, reservoir, etc.) and, being heated, transmitting its heat to the coolant while it around them. coolant circulation by installing a special pump.

How to choose
When there is a question about the choice of the heating unit, the parameters that define a particular type of equipment are the following criteria:
- specifications - power, voltage class, device performance and overall dimensions;
- boiler views - determines its size and, therefore, placement, and performance;
- manufacturer's brand - ensure the quality of performance and reliability of the equipment;
- the presence of additional functions - extends the capabilities of the unit and their management options;
- cost of;
- personal user preferences.
Focusing on the above to identify selection criteria, each user can choose the right electric heating boiler for installation in a country house, cottage or other capital structure.

Calculation of the required power of the electric boiler
In order to select an economical electric boiler for heating private houses, it is necessary to calculate the required electrical power, which you can use the following formula:
W = (40 × Vpom. + + Qokna Qdveri) × kWhere:
W - calculated electric power, W;
40 - the average value needs electric power to 1 m3 of the space to be heated, W;
Vpom. - the volume of heated space, m3;
Qokna - the quantity of heat losses through windows in the surface of the heated area (an average of 100 watts per box);
Qdveri - the quantity of heat loss through the doorways (an average of 200 watts per aperture);
k - regional coefficient (southern regions - 0.7-0.9; for the central region - 1.2-1.4; for the regions of the North - 1.8-2).
This formula allows us to calculate the power of the electric boiler averaged more, but it's enough when choosing a heating equipment.
heater electric boilers
As elektrokotol connected to the heating network and the electrical system
The heater is connected to utility networks may consider the example EKCO.L2 brand boiler (single-loop, equipped with heating elements, power of 24 kW).
Step by step instructions of work is given in the table below:
| Photo | The operation to perform |
| The study of the installation and operating instructions. | |
| When installing heating pipes in place of the distance of their approach to the boiler must correspond to the size of the pipes between the boiler. | |
| The distance from the wall should ensure verticality placing feed pipes with respect to the wall surface. | |
| For the installation of the unit zasverlivayutsya hole in the wall surface. Their arrangement should correspond to the mounting holes provided on the boiler body. The height depends on the geometric dimensions of the heater and the distance to the feed pipes of the heating system. | |
| Installation is performed on the boiler wall surface using fasteners (wall plugs). | |
| Seals are installed in the joints of pipes and the heating boiler pipes. | |
| Twist lock nuts, is provided by sealing compound. | |
| Checks for the necessary equipment (expansion tank is shown by the arrow) and a control system. | |
| Served coolant and check the pressure in the heating system and its tightness. |
To connect to the power supply system uses a three-phase protection device installed in the the main switchboard of a residential home or water-distribution device of this object property.
From protection device laid the power cable whose section on long-term permissible current must correspond to the maximum power of the electric boiler.
Running grounding the heater housing, for this special copper conductor is routed from the main ground bus of the heated object or a ground circuit.
Section of the earth conductor must comply with the requirements of "Rules for Electrical Installation" and "Rules of technical operation of electrical consumers."
