What better heaters for home: reviews, descriptions of devices

In this article, you can find advice on what is best for home heaters: consumer reviews, description of the characteristics and capabilities, as well as analysis of the advantages and disadvantages will help to orient in the choice of design. Here are discussed in detail especially carboxylic, film, and parokapelnyh Micatermic devices from well-known manufacturers.

Which to choose a heater for the home: designs classification

Modern electric heaters domestic purposes on the market in a big variety.

Classification of heat transfer type includes devices with different circuit steps:

• heat transfer surface through the hot air - devices function in much the same way as conventional batteries in the home. Most often, this type of construction of the oil, as well as quartz and modular modification. This thermal energy transfer principle is not optimal, since the efficiency of the device is limited to the contact area (size) of the heater with room air. Increased efficiency is carried out by increasing the heating temperature or the body portion of the contact area with air. You can also improve heat transfer parts of the device;

• convection (natural) distribution of heat fluxes - heating components heaters placed inside a casing having a structure which creates a natural upward flow of heated air. Due to the movement of these flows is very space of the room warms up quickly;
• directional distribution of the heat flow - that principle is involved in the construction of heat guns, and heaters. Such heaters are equipped with an internal fan, which is also powered by electricity, increasing costs for utilities bills;
• infrared - heat spreading due to the generation of electromagnetic waves.

Note! Infrared radiation not contribute to air heating. Raising the temperature in the room is carried out by heating the surfaces, which in turn transmit heat to the air.

Characteristics of electric heaters for homes with a direct heat transfer

The most common direct drive heaters are oil-type structure. They combine highest power and mobility that allows these devices to create significant competition for conventional batteries. Some models have a body with a complex modification. This structure contributes to the formation of not only direct, but also convection heat flows. This benefit is improved performance of the heater.

Avilable oil radiators for heating

The body portion made of metal, together with the oil within attaches considerable weight heater. Manufacturers usually provide in the construction of legs for support. For a more convenient operation are modified in the form of carriages on roller wheels. Due to their facilitated process of moving the device, which is connected to the mains via cord and plug. The main body of a special place for compact storage coiled cable.

Oil coolers of the current generation have no control bodies. Even the simplest modifications are equipped with a switch with the ability to go into different modes of operation and LED indication, as well as a thermostat that regulates the temperature readings.

You can find models that have not fold, and panel structure. The body portion therein and covered with a flat ribbed texture. The principle of operation of such devices is similar.

Radiators with oil can not be unambiguously called economical. The level of electricity consumption have a high enough. However, this is offset by increased heat capacity of the carrier (mineral oil), and the heating through the thermostat is performed only when necessary. Upon reaching a certain temperature level of the device is switched off, and the oil for a very long time continues to give a warm room.

Useful advice! If you buy an electric heater for the house with a timer function, you can program the device to include a specific time. On his return from a walk or working in rooms will be warm, the device will not be wasted to heat the room while people are missing.

Advantages and disadvantages of oil heaters for outdoor home

Advantages of the oil radiator heaters:

• reasonable cost;
• Easy operating system - no need for installation works, the device is placed just in the right place and is included;

• mobile design - the unit can be easily moved to any place in the house;
• Security - modern modifications radiators equipped with multi-stage protection system. Among the preventive measures include emergency stop function if the device is accidentally overturned.

Although the safety of these devices, it is not necessary to install them in children's rooms or leave it next to the kids unattended. Due to the presence of wheels they can use the heater for their games, which may lead to serious consequences.

Disadvantages radiator with oil filling:

• inertia heating greatly increased - from including cold unit to the point where it will heat the body portion, it may take a long time. Sometimes it takes at least 30 minutes. the cooling process is also very long;
• bulky structure - all devices of this type are heavy and substantial dimensions. When operating the heater in a small apartment of his design can create obstacles for moving around the room;
• Simplified design - even the most attractive models can not always maintain the interior of the premises, causing an imbalance in the design;

• need for caution - heavy and angular body portion may be a source of injury to the person. Strongly heated surface by accidental contact causes burns.

Useful advice! The problem with burns if accidentally touch the working device can be solved by buying a model with a protective cover.

Exploitation of oil heaters for home: Reviews and safety rules

When handling oil radiators manufacturers recommend caution and adhere to basic safety rules:

• It is not allowed to replace a regular column to the other, as well as use the device in combination with an extension cord;
• It is strictly forbidden to install the heater working around the point of supply (outlet);
• regular type mounting structure - vertical. Do not connect and operate the device in another position;
• it is not recommended to carry out heating of the room with a very small area. The room size should be more than 4 m².

Important! It excludes the application of the oil cooler as a unit for drying clothes, as is usually done with batteries centralized water heating in the house.

Despite the intricacies of handling, oil radiators are still popular with buyers to leave feedback about the work of these heaters:

"Recently I bought a heater Ballu Classic BOH / CL 07BRN. My wife and I live in a rented apartment, and therefore often moving, so I figured the best oil radiator heater for our situation. In general, the design is working fine. However, in the first day of the unit published some gurgling sounds. Consultant at the store explained that this effect is not a drawback or a marriage is simply a product of the oil comes out residual air. In the future no longer arise extraneous noise. "

Gregory OSTROUMOV, city Moscow

"On the recommendation of a friend bought the oil cooler. Heater is consistent with my requirements. The only negative - a long time warming up, but then also holds heat for a long time. When you first turn on the device was an unpleasant smell, which is why it was necessary to ventilate the apartment. A few hours later the smell was gone. "

Irina Skilsara, city Yekaterinburg

Characteristics of modular electric radiators

This category includes parokapelnye heaters, powered by electricity and having similar features with modern bimetallic or aluminum panels. In fact, they are a miniature version of the classic heating systems, in which heat transfer agent subjected to heat, and the heat exchange process is exactly the same as in conventional batteries.

Note!Modular radiators are available in a fully operational with pre-configured parameters. Manufacturers strictly prohibited to change the number of sections of the device.

The apparatus design:

• heat exchanger has a sealed structure, inside which there is a coolant. Due to the complete isolation of this component is excluded the likelihood of leakage. In addition, not required to fill the volume of the coolant, since the evaporation process takes place on closed loop;

• a heating element (heater) is located at the bottom of the heat exchanger;
• Block attachment types with built-in control system.

The mechanism of transfer of thermal energy:

1. It occurs coolant heating via electrical heating element.
2. In this process, the heat medium passes from the liquid state to a vapor.
3. Hot vapor rises uniformly warming body portion design. Since the room temperature is always lower than the steam temperature inside the heater is obtained condensation effect.
4. Condensable vapor recoil after heat again becomes liquid and is rolled back to the heat exchanger on the walls.

This process occurs over and over again on the same circuit.

Benefits parokapelnyh heaters

Parokapelnye modification heaters have the following advantages:

• efficiency - devices consume 2 times less electricity than oil radiators and convectors;
• even if there is a power failure, the software will launch the latest configuration. Prolonged shutdown does not affect the subsequent operation;
• no risk of fire or explosion, because the device is devoid of excessive pressure and has no combustible components. For the manufacture of the housing manufacturers use materials with flame retardant properties. Aluminum housing part acts as an insulating barrier for the heating medium and the heating element. In the case of electronic circuit or wiring half unit produces carbon dioxide. Thanks to him, a fire completely fades.

Note! Depending on the manufacturer and model of the heater can be filled with a different type of heat carrier. Emit ammonia, water, Methanol and Ethanol species.

Review and price parokapelnyh BHeat Air heaters

In devices BHeat Air installed electronic type thermostat. Thanks to him, the set temperature is maintained in the room automatically. In other words, reaching a peak heating device switches off the heater and starts it again when the room temperature falls below a predetermined minimum index. Due to this function, the power consumption becomes very low.

The models also present radio. It is designed for grouping of multiple instruments in a common heating system. The control operation can be carried out from the central panel or for this purpose one of the heaters in the system can be used.

Category heaters with direct heat transfer with the wall panel closed installation. They may have different coverage:

• quartz composite;
• a coating of artificial stone;
• ceramic.

Such heaters are, in fact, combine all methods of transmission of heat flows. On the one hand, energy transfer occurs convection air emanating directly from the surface with a ceramic coating. On the other hand, the heated plate distinguishes infrared radiation, and at considerable distance.

Note!Some modifications have not ceramic, and a composite coating consisting of quartz sand. Such devices include products of the St. Petersburg plant, which attract buyers numerous positive reviews and price: TeplEko heaters are considered to be of high quality and at the same time inexpensive.

In operation of all devices in this category based on the principle in which the heat accumulated charge structure. After the accumulated energy, the device switches off thermostat and gradually gives up heat to the room. In this case, the design does not consume electrical energy from the network.

Advantages of quartz and ceramic tiles:

• high resistance to moisture - devices can be installed on a balcony glazing, in bathrooms and other rooms with high humidity;
• decorative exterior trim - manufacturers offer an array of design options: imitation textured or polished stone surfaces such as marble, sandstone or granite. There is a possibility artistically panel, using this variety of colors and relief patterns;

• some models are wall-mounted devices can be modified into portable design through the heater assembly on a special trolley or support legs.

Disadvantages include significant weight of the structure, as well as danger of burns if accidentally touched.

Heat fans: specificity heaters

Fan heater, heated room due to the fact that forcibly evicted the hot air around the room. In this category there are instruments and powerful items (more than 2.5 kW). They are called a heat gun, and are not for everyday use.

Note!Fan on the heater body, can have a turbine or a paddle structure. That he drives off air flow through the entire structure where their temperature rises from contact with the heating element.

Heaters are equipped with the following types of heating elements:

• open spiral, made of nickel-chromium - is found in low-end models. It is heated red hot and therefore may cause a fire (if the inside of the structure gets a piece of debris, hair or dust bunny) or an electric shock. Therefore, strictly forbidden to leave the appliance unattended. Due to dust or insects on the spiral often appear unpleasant odors;
• tubular heater - more reliable and safe, long life;
• ceramic heating element - is considered the most environmentally friendly of all of the above. The temperature of heating the ceramic plates is minimal, so the burning of dust particles is eliminated. Such a device does not reduce the optimum composition of the air in the room, but it costs considerably more expensive.

Domestic models are enclosed in a compact case with a horizontal or vertical placement of the character. Adjusting the speed amenable blowing air flows, as well as the power of the heating element.

Note!In advanced versions have extra features, a built-in thermostat, an ionizer to maintain a comfortable climate, a timer, humidifier and even the panel with touch controls and LCD display.

Overview of fan heaters for the home: what better heaters

Benefits of fan heaters:

• organization of local rapid heating and a certain portion of the premises;

Characteristics Micatermic Heaters: reviews, pros and cons

Micatermic heaters are the link between models of convectors and infrared devices. In the infrared radiation fraction emitted by the device, accounts for 80% of the heat, the remaining 20% ​​are convection currents.

This effect arises due to the fact that the design has a heating plate made of Micatherm technology. The heating element is isolated on the sides of the layers of mica.

Note! Mica is a naturally occurring mineral that simultaneously isolates the electricity, and thus is well conducts heat.

Benefits Micatermic devices:

• for heating the housing does not require additional time, heater immediately transmits heat room;
• light weight;
• the maximum temperature is 60 ° C;
• impossible to get burns when touched;
• economical energy consumption - the device at 30% less oil radiators;
• Compatible optimum climatic conditions and the normal state of the air;
• quiet operation.

According to the left on the forum Micatermic Heaters customer reviews, a person is able to feel the flows heat only if he sits still for a long time in the immediate area radiation. heat is also not felt immediately after the device is turned on. This requires a certain time.

Positive feedback has been noted and benefits such as lightweight construction, as well as the purchase of equipment with the wall and even ceiling type accommodation.

The feedback has been noted and disadvantages:

• heat radiation density decreases with distance from the unit;
• heating of premises is carried out only in the zone of action;
• contamination, trapped behind bars, it is difficult to remove.

Character heaters Cousy: reviews and rastsenkistika

Thanks to the dual-mode heating Cousy devices significantly save on heating costs. The devices have a high rate of efficiency, so virtually all of the absorbed energy is converted into heat and is supplied to the room without a loss.

In the constructions no exposed heating elements, so the heaters completely safe operation. The surface temperature of the housing fair, so often Cousy devices are mounted in preschool.

Especially devices with infrared

These devices are the representatives of a very large group of heating equipment. They use infrared light to heat the room. Wavelength domestic purposes in constructions is in the range of 50 to 1000 microns. Due to this heat transfer is carried out over a long distance without the need to heat the device to a potentially dangerous temperatures.

the following structures are distinguished by the type of installation:

• ceiling;
• wall;
• floor.

It is also used by manufacturers of the various heating elements, but the most common one is a tubular heater.

Note! Material for the manufacture of the heating element can be glass, carbon, ceramics, there are even halogen versions.

Ceiling infrared heaters: consumer reviews about the advantages and disadvantages

Most of the left of the ceiling heaters reviews has a positive character. Buyers note among the profitable advantages of these devices are small in size, so that the design takes up very little space in the room.

Positive feedback received and the system installation equipment. The heater can be installed in any room, because the design of the case is protected from the adverse effects of external factors. Is no exception, even a bathroom.

Some models support the dimensional characteristics and other parameters of the ceiling tiles "Armstrong", which lets you embed them in the space of a false ceiling without any damage to the room design.

The efficiency depends on the correct choice space for the installation of the device. If the ceiling heater option to place the window, the cold coming from the street, will disappear. Thus an effect of the air curtain, which excludes a large heat loss.

Feature film heaters for the home: the price and the choice of design
