Agree, warmth and coziness in your home is one of the important components of a comfortable and happy family life. But what kind of comfort can we talk about when the outside temperature is freezing, a strong wind blowing off your feet, and all this affects the quality of living in the house.
You are very lucky if your own home has a heating system installed and working properly. It is very good if the heating devices in a city apartment are hot throughout the cold season and do an excellent job of maintaining a comfortable temperature in the room.
Unfortunately, different circumstances can happen in life. For example, a problem at an emergency station with heating networks and equipment, various unexpected weather conditions for a specific region, for which you need to especially prepare.
The purchase and installation of additional heating is usually not the most budgetary thing, especially when the situation is prolonged and requires strong repair intervention.
There are many types of energy-saving heaters that, with low current consumption, can generate enough heat.
There are several different types of similar equipment, in which the power does not reach 1000 W, but their action is only enough to heat small rooms.
You can see the photo of energy-saving heaters for the home and choose the design you want.
Types of energy saving home heaters
Most likely, the majority of radiators have a fairly high efficiency, because electricity is as strong as possible, with little waste, turns into heat.
You need to be able to use it intelligently, find a convenient way to distribute heat in the room.
Oil radiator
The most famous heating invention is the oil cooler. It consists of heating panels with ceramic tiles that generate heat.
A variation of this device has recently been invented - electronic batteries, which are almost indistinguishable from modern large radiators.
These heaters are very popular. Most likely because of its simplicity, minimalism.
Electric wall convectors
Wall mounted electric convector
They are quite simple in design and effective electrical heating devices. Structurally, it consists of a heating element with a heat exchanger and a convection chamber, which is at the same time a decorative and protective casing. Externally, convectors are distinguished by the presence of openings in the protective casing for air inlet and outlet. The former are located at the bottom, and the latter are at the top or, most often, on the lateral front surface in the form of louvers directing the warm air flow downward. Such a heater heats the room almost completely due to air convection. Thermal radiation from its body is insignificant, since the outer casing does not heat up above 50-60⁰С. Therefore, they are quite safe and can be installed even in children's rooms. But to heat the room instantly with such a heater will not work. It will take some time for the air in the room to rise to the required temperature as a result of convection. Do not dry clothes or cover them to avoid overheating of the heating elements.
Types of electric convectors
Electric convector heaters can have different heating elements:
- Open spiral;
- Closed coil ("dry" heating element);
- Monoblock.
Open coil designs are the cheapest, but such heating elements burn oxygen and dust from the air. Therefore, it is undesirable to install them in rooms where people are constantly present. In addition, they cannot be used to heat damp rooms.
Models with closed spirals (heating elements) are safer. Their tubular heating elements are heated to a lower temperature (about 100 ° C) and a plate aluminum heat exchanger is enclosed for greater efficiency. They practically do not burn oxygen, but during their operation, you can smell the burnt dust. Especially if the heat exchanger has not been cleaned of dust after a long break in operation. Therefore, before the start of the heating season, it is necessary to remove the protective screen and clean the heat exchanger from dust with a vacuum cleaner.
But the best option for an electric convector is a model with a monoblock heating element. Its one-piece body, which at the same time acts as a heat exchanger, is made of aluminum alloys, and the spiral, which is inside, is surrounded by a special filling. Such a heating element is more reliable and durable.
Most wall-mounted electric convectors are equipped with thermostats, and some have additional options, for example, an air ionizer that precipitates dust and enriches the air with healthy ions.
We should also mention a rather popular special type of electric convectors - the so-called warm skirting boards, which are mounted at the wall-floor junction and do not require a separate space on the wall. In addition, the heated air comes out of them almost at the very floor, contributing to better heating of the room.
Electric convector - "warm plinth"
Wall mounted radiator
Floor-standing large heat exchangers have replaced wall-mounted energy-saving home heaters, which are noticeably small in size, ease of use and beautiful, neat design.
Wall heaters have many different heating methods. It is necessary to take into account possible methods of regulation, controllability and safety in use.
When choosing a wall-mounted radiator, you need to pay due attention to the presence of a thermostat. This device saves energy.
By providing the thermostat with a temperature sensor, it automatically monitors the functioning and operation of the heater.

Today on the market there is a wide range of electric heaters of all types that will help create heat in a country house or apartment. But making the right choice is extremely difficult. Advertising everywhere, praising the characteristics and capabilities of their products, often not always reliable. There is only one recommendation here. Trust the reviews on the Internet more, trying to find grains of truth in them. Also, you need to take into account well-known brands for which reputation is not an empty phrase. The countries of the European Union, Japan, South Korea are represented on the Russian market by many models of heaters. It makes sense to learn more about the products of Russian manufacturers.
Ceramic heaters
It is very important, in domestic heat exchangers, the presence of impeccable comfort, ease and safety in use, compactness, efficiency.
Home ceramic energy-saving heaters fully comply with these conditions.
There are two ways of working with ceramic radiators.
The first way is to move air. With it, air currents passing through the heating element generate heat in the room. The second method is electromagnetic radiation, its heat is directed to heating objects in the room.
There are ceramic gas appliances that can quickly create a small area of heat using electromagnetic waves.
Such gas appliances are indispensable for insulating various gazebos and summer playgrounds. They are often used on a hike.For such a device to work, you need to have a special gas cylinder.

Quartz heater Teplopitbel
Air-temperature controlled quartz heater
The developer and manufacturer of quartz heaters in the Republic of Belarus is a company from Minsk, LLC "Aziyaopt" with a registered trademark Teplopitbel. Starting from small production, by 2020 the company has increased and mastered the production of up to 10,000 units per year.
In recent years, the popularity of using Teplopitbel products has been gaining momentum and progressively growing, displacing oil heaters traditionally used in homes and summer cottages, which, not without reason, are considered quite costly and not very safe to use.
The products manufactured by our company since 2020 are equipped with electronic temperature control devices-thermostats with an electronic LED display with indoor climate control functions, a time timer, a child lock, set temperature parameters, an on and off button. All these advantages allow in many respects to save costs and thereby reduce the consumption and consumption of electricity when heating a house with electric heating.
The uniqueness of the climate controlled quartz heater
The novelty of the electronic thermostat device built into the heaters lies in the ability of the device to consume much less electricity when heating a house compared to electric heaters that do not have a climate control function. It is not required to additionally purchase a wall-mounted thermostat, do not pull wires across the room to the heating device. There is no need to measure the air temperature with a thermometer, since you can see the real air temperature in the room on the light board of the electric heater.
Benefit in quartz heaters during operation
What are the advantages of quartz heaters with a thermostat from a functional point of view, you will immediately understand as soon as you install several heaters in a room on different walls. For example, walls in corner rooms can be located simultaneously on the north and east sides. Accordingly, in the winter season, freezing on each side will be different. The wall located on the north side is most susceptible to cooling, the eastern part of the room is less. When heaters are installed on different walls of the room, their work will occur autonomously, independently of each other. So the eastern side of the house will warm up faster than the northern one, and, accordingly, the heating device will turn off earlier, and the other device will continue to reach the temperature set on the thermostat.
Recommendations for using a quartz heater
The main buyer of our products in the spring-autumn period is traditionally rural residents who do not have the opportunity to install gas heating at home. A large number of buyers use our devices for heating summer cottages and country houses due to the energy-saving parameters of the product. For city apartments, heaters are bought during the period when heating in houses is turned off at the end of the heating season. Government organizations and private companies usually begin to purchase equipment before the fall season for offices and industrial premises.Residents of private houses who have a residence permit when switching to preferential heating with payment for electricity at a rate of 0.0335 rubles. 1 kW / hour very actively during the year began to study and buy electrical appliances for electric heating of the house. We help to determine the amount and capacity of the required equipment for electric heating of a private house free of charge.
The uniqueness of the heater is as follows: quartz converts electrical energy into thermal energy by accumulating it in the panels and slowly radiating into the room by natural convection of air. Before the installation procedure, the crystal oscillator must be prepared for operation and installation.
- Preparation for work consists: if the heater was purchased during the winter period of time, it is necessary to keep it indoors for 12 hours and make sure that the device is intact.
- Installation is carried out in accordance with the conditions specified in the passport - operating instructions.
To get maximum heat from quartz sand heaters, it is necessary to attach the heat-reflecting element included in the kit to the wall.
How to determine how many heat and power generators Teplopitbel should be bought so that they do not disappoint with the performance of their functions? To find out for sure, take measurements of the premises and read the information presented in the table based on one heating element:
| Heater power | Premises area sq.m. | Heat loss |
| 250 watts | 6 — 8 | 0 — 10% |
| 300 watts | 6 — 12 | 0 — 10% |
| 350 watts | 6 — 14 | 0 — 10% |
With heat losses over 10%, the area of the heated room is reduced by one quartz heater.
Convector heaters
Convector home energy-saving heaters, convenient to use, are gaining popularity.
Such devices are used to insulate modern, residential and business premises. They are perfect for any design, and also do not cause problems at the time of operation. These electric heaters are operated by an air transport system.
Overview of different types of heaters
The following are the features of modern devices. When examining the data, it is recommended to take into account the above criteria and features of the future mode of use.
Application of quartz energy saving wall heaters for home
This name allows for the possibility of ambiguous interpretation, therefore, additional division into two groups is necessary. The first uses heating elements enclosed in a transparent quartz glass flask. They are positioned in front of the reflector, which creates directional infrared radiation. The casing and the grille are protective.
Such a heater can be mounted on a wall, or installed on the floor.
The second group consists of devices in the form of monolithic slabs up to 25 cm thick. They are created with the addition of quartz, which is reflected in the specific name. Nichrome heaters are built inside. The advantage is long-term heat retention. The main disadvantage is high inertia. As a rule, the components of the structure are selected in such a way that the built-in spiral does not heat up more than the limit from + 110 ° C to 130 ° C. In this gentle mode, the heating elements are able to perform their function for many years.

The study of devices of this type should be carried out taking into account the following features:
- The heavy weight of the heater makes it difficult to move. Mobile use will be more convenient if wheels and a handle are available.
- Some models have not only external ribs, but also additional internal channels. This solution increases the contact area of the heated surface with air and increases efficiency.
- The built-in fan not only accelerates the temperature rise. If necessary, it can be directed to a specific area of the room.
- Smooth and multi-stage adjustments will help you more accurately choose a comfortable mode
Even high-quality modern models are too large and technologically advanced to decorate the interior. But we must remember that such a heater is mobile. If desired, it can be quickly moved to another location.
