Cheapest electric home heating

Why electric heaters?

You will immediately wonder why the classic water or stove heating of rooms is not considered? The answer is simple - this is due to the fact that installation work and maintenance for about the same money will be reduced to a minimum. Now we will provide several reasons why it is obvious that the best and most economical heating system for a private house is electrical.

1. Heaters powered by electricity are noiseless, do not require additional resources( coal, wood, liquid fuel) and also do not pollute the atmosphere. This suggests that in a private house there is no need to have a place in the farm for fuel, to make a chimney, and also to blacken soot every year. It is enough to connect the system to the network and enjoy the warmth.
2. Installation of the entire electrical heating system does not require huge initial cash deposits. For example, the installation of a water heating main is carried out once. A project is being created, all pipes, radiators, a boiler, as well as additional automation are purchased. Make part of the work( for example, in one room), and if you have the money to complete the project in time you will not succeed, and if it does, then there will be many problems. It will be necessary to drain the water, crash into the finished highway, etc. In the case of electric heaters, everything is much simpler. You can install equipment in every room as you earn money. At the end of spring, buy convectors for the bedroom, later - for the kitchen, bathroom, etc.
3. To date, there are many ways to save on power consumption. Of course, this option requires a lot of money, but be sure, over time they will pay for themselves. Popular is the installation of economical two-tariff meters, as well as solar panels on the roof of the house.
   
   
4. Connection of a boiler, boiler or even a convector can be carried out by hand, significantly saving money on the call of the master.

As you see, electric heating in a private house really wins from alternative options, so it's quite profitable to install such a system.

To your attention video example of creating a cheap and at the same time productive autonomous system:

Variants of heating systems

So, let's consider the existing equipment that will make electric heating in the house economical and cheap.

Using the

boiler The installation of an electric boiler that will heat water in a home heating system while warming up the room is the first, least effective option. Of course, on the Internet you can see a lot of information, which talk about economical boilers, which can reduce the consumption up to 80%, but all this is nonsense. The only way to reduce costs is to install thermostats and various automatics, which will only turn on when the temperature in the room falls, and at certain times of the day. All other talk about new product designs or reduced power is just an advertising move. If you buy a small boiler - it takes more time for heating the house to heat the house, that's why it will come to that.

Using infrared panels

Installing infrared heaters is a more reasonable solution and most likely the most profitable. The fact is that these products do not heat the air in the room, but certain objects( floor, walls, cabinet) from which heat transfer takes place in the future. If in the previous version the hot air rises to the ceiling and immediately cools, in this case the heat is directed to the floor, which is more reasonable( people do not walk on the ceiling).

This diagram shows the efficiency of an economical heating system for a private house:

You all see for yourself, so there is nothing more to prove. It should only be noted that IR devices can work more efficiently by adding thermostats to them. One regulator is enough to control three heaters in the system of economical heating of a private house.

Using convectors

Many manufacturers are convinced that the electric convector effectively warms up the room and at the same time spends a small amount of electricity. The question is certainly controversial, because, in fact, the principle of operation of products is similar to the option with radiators( the air rises).The advantage of convectors is that their installation and connection do not represent anything complicated. In addition, the heating of the TEN is about one minute, which is undoubtedly faster than in the case of water radiators.

• low cost( from 2 to 10 thousand rubles);
• fire safety( which is especially important when installing heating in a wooden house);
• can gradually build up the heating system( there is not enough one convector for the room, buy one more and connect it to the network without problems);
• attractive appearance;
• trouble-free operation at power surges( in the private sector is also relevant);
• compact size.

We analyzed the testimonials of the buyers who took advantage of this option and saw that most of the people are happy with the purchase. The main thing is to additionally install a temperature regulator to make economical electric heating in the house with your own hands.

Which option is best avoided?

We talked about cheap and efficient systems of economical heating of a private house, but I would also like to note the most costly options that must be avoided. The top of the rating is occupied by oil coolers. They are all known for having high power, so when working in winter you can see a noticeable increase in electricity consumption.

Not only do these products have a high power, so also the heating efficiency of them is very weak. For example, the IR panel of the same dimensions and the same power will make it possible to make the house warmer quickly, so better give it preference.

In addition, the infrared heater is installed on the ceiling or wall, thus does not take up free space, which can not be said for electric radiators.

Another not recommended option - fan heaters. These devices not only burn oxygen, but also "drive dust", besides they make a noise. The effectiveness of their use is not too great, becausebetween the ceiling and the floor the temperature can differ by several degrees, while the power of the products is high( from 1.5 kW).

How to improve efficiency and reduce costs?

Just buy a low-cost electric heater and install it in a country house is only half the battle. It is by no means a fact that as a result of the work you will be able to see the considerable effectiveness of the economical heating system made. The reason for this may be poor thermal insulation of the room. All sorts of cracks, gaps in the windows and even the absence of insulation on the walls contributes to the rapid cooling of the room. It has been repeatedly proved that with high-quality insulation of walls and ceiling, the efficiency of heating can grow up to 80%, although this indicator usually reaches 40%.

Another important nuance is the use of automation. For example, if the whole day at home no one will be( everyone works), then there is no sense in heating the rooms. It will be more correct to install a controller that will turn on the heaters an hour or two before your arrival. This time will be enough to fully heat the premises.

It is also necessary to correctly draw up a project of an economical heating system for a private house by selecting the capacity and the location of the heater installation. Well, the last of the most effective solutions is to install a multi-tariff counter. This device allows you to save electricity during the night, in which the heater will work.

In summary, I would like to note that the cheapest heating system for electricity is convectors and IR panels. We hope that the information was useful and interesting for you!
