Model Description

The decorative body of the convector is painted white and has a trapezoidal shape, which greatly increases heat transfer. In the manufacture of the SX-DUOS heating element, the latest technologies are used, the heating power is increased due to the monolithic coating of aluminum alloy and the original "shell" surface.

A protective screen installed at the location of the heating element allows you to reduce the temperature of the outer surface to 50 ° C. A high-precision mechanical thermostat protects the device from overheating and saves energy consumption.

Advantages and disadvantages

The model is equipped with an advanced Air Gate BIO air purification and filtration system. The main filter removes dust from the air masses and neutralizes various bacteria, while the charcoal filter absorbs odors. Two more filters based on plant components neutralize viruses and enhance immunity.

This model can be installed in rooms with high humidity thanks to the waterproof housing. The working life of the convector is designed for 25 years of trouble-free operation.

The disadvantage is the absence of a timer and indicator light: it is not visible when the device is working and when it is turned off.

Sturm! CH2400

The second place in this small rating list went to the convector Sturm! CH2400... This novelty looks quite typical for models of its kind and does not have any prominent external features, but in terms of reliability and efficiency it is one of the best. Structurally, it is immediately important to note the presence of wheels, since it is simply more convenient than carrying the convector on your hands. Let it be attached to the wall too. From the point of view of reliability, here you will find all the same protective shutdown functions in case of overheating or overturning that most other analogues have. By the way, the maximum heating of the convector surface can reach 100 degrees Celsius, so you cannot cover it like any other.

In terms of power, this model can put out a maximum of 2400 watts and is of course adjustable. In principle, for a room with an area of ​​about 25 square meters, this model will be more than enough. Well, regarding the cost, you can expect a price tag of the order 4 100 rubles average.

The elegant design of the convector is based on special advanced technologies. The honeycomb surface with many air outlets in the upper face creates a powerful wave of directed hot air that is evenly distributed inside the room.

The device is equipped with a high-precision mechanical thermostat made of a copper alloy, a high-quality monolithic heating device (TEN) with a guaranteed service life of at least 25 years. Available in white.

Advantages and disadvantages

The convector has three heating modes, a built-in fan, which significantly increases the power of the outgoing air flow. With high heat transfer, it has a low power consumption, it works almost silently and is very compact.

The only drawback of this model is the lack of a timer.

Heating with electrical appliances

Of course, the use of electrical appliances where the dacha is used only in the summer is an easier and safer way to organize heating. The use of a furnace in this case is a laborious and fire hazardous process, and the installation of boiler equipment is an unjustifiably expensive option for organizing the system. Therefore, if there is a reliable and serviceable electrical wiring capable of providing the required power, it is better to buy and install electric heaters.

They can be different. Manufacturers offer a rich assortment, including:

  1. Electric convectors.
  2. Oil heaters.
  3. Fan heater.
  4. Infrared installations.

What is the best to use and which heater is the most efficient? The answer will be provided by an overview of the positive and negative performance characteristics of different instruments.

Electric convectors


Convectors Noirot
Convectors are devices for heating, the principle of which is based on the use of the simplest law of physics. The design looks like a plate radiator. Inside the flat body there is a heating element - ten. There are slots at the top and bottom of the panel through which air flows. Proceeding from below, it is heated with a heating element. Warm air is lighter than cold air, so it rises on its own, where it cools down and goes down. This is how natural circulation is carried out, with the help of which the room is heated.

Convectors of different sizes, capacities and designs are on sale, so it will be easy to choose something specific for your summer cottage. Such installations work completely silently, providing full heating of the room, and it is not so difficult to install convectors on your own. The device only needs to be hung on a wall mount and plugged into a power outlet. In order for it to work effectively, it is necessary to correctly select its power. It is calculated according to the formula - 1 kilowatt per 1 square meter of usable area.

Note! One device is used only for heating one room. Therefore, to heat the whole house, it is necessary to install a convector in each room.

The new generation models feature state-of-the-art control options. In this case, you can:

  • Combine 8 to 20 devices in one remote control unit.
  • Set the optimal temperature regime and control its maintenance with an accuracy of one degree.
  • Set different temperature modes, program the convectors for a day, a week and a whole month.
  • Use the "anti-freezing" mode in case of any engineering accidents.

Each of the listed functions increases the cost of the convector, but the conveniences they provide will certainly offset the cost.

Despite the large number of advantages, convectors also have disadvantages. And this is not only the high price of improved models. For the normal functioning of the convector, high-quality and reliable electrical wiring is required. Electricity today is the most expensive type of fuel, which must be taken into account when thinking over a heating system for a private house.

Oil heaters


Electric heating house
Oil heaters are capable of providing a fireplace heating effect. A conventional sectional battery is characterized by a sealed casing. A heating element is placed inside it, heating mineral oil - it fills the metal case from the inside.

The principle of operation of an oil heater is the same as that of a conventional battery. But the double heating method is both a convection method and a radiation method, which allows you to enjoy the effect of a fireplace. The described devices are quite reliable, and it is difficult to break the tightness of the case.One battery can operate without service for 10 years.

If the battery does not have a built-in fan, the unit operates silently. An oil cooler costs less than a convector. But for a complete heating of the installation, more time is needed, and this is an additional power consumption. In addition, the device does not have smart controls. The oil cooler weighs a lot and has large dimensions. During work, oxygen is burned, dust rises and burns up, which is why there is a specific smell in the room constantly. The radiator power is determined by the number of sections.

Fan heater

The fan heater outperforms all electrical appliances indicated in the list in terms of the speed of heating the room. The design of the device is very simple. It consists of two main elements - a heating element and a fan. This tandem helps create a stream of hot air that is evenly distributed throughout the room. If you turn off the heating function, the unit can be used as a conventional fan.

Modern models are compact in size, so they are very mobile. It is very easy to transport the described installation from place to place or transfer from one room to another. When buying a fan heater with a ceramic heating element, you can count on greater heat transfer and lower energy costs.

When making a choice in favor of a fan heater, it must be borne in mind that these devices have a lot of disadvantages that you will have to put up with:

  • Firstly, the fan makes a lot of noise during operation.
  • Secondly, during the operation of the installation, oxygen is burned, and dust rises into the air. This brings a lot of trouble for those who suffer from allergies.
  • Thirdly, the use of a fan heater presupposes strict adherence to fire safety rules. Do not leave the device unattended. For the same reason, experts do not recommend using fan heaters where small children live.

Infrared installations


Infrared devices
The use of infrared heaters to heat a summer cottage has some limitations. Ceiling models, for example, cannot be installed in rooms with low ceilings. Indeed, as the main source of heat, special infrared wavelengths are used here, the action of which is akin to the action of the sun's rays.

The fundamental difference between these devices is that they do not warm the air in the room, but the objects in it. The air does not walk around the room, and the person feels uniform warmth both at the level of the legs and at the level of the head. The warmth in the room is felt immediately after turning on the unit. This is very convenient when the room needs to be warmed up instantly, without wasting time on lighting firewood or heating an oil heater.

What are the advantages of infrared heaters?

  1. They are fireproof.
  2. They work without noise.
  3. Provide a fairly comfortable microclimate.
  4. Energy efficient.
  5. There are models on sale that can be hung on the ceiling or walls, as well as laid on the floor. A wide choice allows you to take into account the individual characteristics of each room.

Note! Today, this type of home heating is a novelty for ordinary people. Therefore, many are wondering if this heater is safe. So far, no negative consequences have been identified. Experts note that it is better to choose this type of electric heaters for heating basements, basements, saunas, glazed and open verandas and gazebos.

This model has an important function "parental control", it allows you to block the control of the convector: children will not be able to change the settings or get injured as a result of rash actions.

Among the disadvantages are the short length of the cord and insufficient heat transfer at full power.

When we live all year round


Which space heaters to choose
Anyone who lives outside the city all year round is forced to more thoroughly solve the indicated problem and use a wood or coal stove or boiler equipment for heating a country house. It is rather difficult to say which heating method is better in this case. Each option has its own pros and cons. Where there is no gas and there are power outages, solid fuel boilers have to be used. Modern models have many operational advantages. But one of their essential drawbacks covers everything.

In order for the installation to work constantly and to heat the house efficiently, a person must be present. The lack of autonomy is the main reason for the unpopularity of the described equipment.

Boiler equipment clearly outperforms stove equipment. On sale there are gas, electric, diesel and combination boilers that can be used to organize a water heating system. Heating the coolant allows you to provide full heating of a country house.

But it is advisable to use it in the following cases:

  1. When heating of all rooms in the house is necessary constantly, year-round.
  2. When a gas main is laid next to a country house, or there are energy resources to provide the necessary power and volume for an electric boiler room.
  3. When it is necessary to organize heating of a large-area house or a multi-storey building.
  4. When, in addition to heating, it is also necessary to provide hot water for technical needs.

How or which boiler - gas or electric - to choose for organizing a heating system has already been described in detail on the pages of our website. Now we will talk about something else. Consider which electric heater to choose for occasional seasonal heating of a small house.

The disadvantage is the lack of a timer.

How to choose an economical convector for a summer residence, criteria

When choosing a heating electric convector, first of all, the following are evaluated:

Electrical power

The power of the convector is selected depending on the intended area of ​​use. If the equipment is used as the main heating system, the power of the installation is calculated based on the ratio of 1 kW per 10 m2 of heated area. To the calculated value, add 15 - 20% for possible heat losses.

Electric convector Electrolux

If the device is used as a backup system, the convector power can be significantly less. The exact value depends on the characteristics of the main heating circuit, the quality of the building's thermal insulation and the outside temperature. As a rule, the power of such convectors ranges from 150 to 500 W.

Thermostat type

Both mechanical and electronic thermostats are used in the design of modern electric convectors. Devices with mechanical adjustment are simple and reliable, but the functionality of such convectors is minimal.

Electric convector with mechanical adjustment

The use of electronic control units ensures precise adherence to the set temperature regime, the possibility of remote and software control, and also allows you to connect additional functional modules.

The use of electronic heating convectors is advisable as the main heating system. For a redundant system, it is more profitable to purchase an inexpensive convector with a bimetallic thermostat.

Heating element type

Electric convectors can have heating elements of both open and closed type. When using an open-type heating element, there is a high probability of burning out oxygen, and in addition, corrosive destruction of the wire spiral is possible under the influence of natural air humidity.

In closed-type heating elements, the filament is placed in a sealed tube with special aluminum fins designed to increase the efficiency of heat transfer. The use of such heating elements completely eliminates oxygen combustion and corrosion. Despite the higher cost, it is the closed heating elements that are most widely used.

Additional functions

As a rule, additional functions are available for convectors with an electronic control system, they are extremely rare in "mechanical" convectors. The most requested additional features include:

Electric convector with control panel

  • Anti-freeze mode. When this function is enabled, the unit automatically maintains the room temperature at + 5 ° C, preventing the building from completely freezing in the absence of the owners;
  • Work in the programmed mode. The option allows you to automatically change the temperature mode in order to save energy. For example, in the absence of the owners, the convector can operate in the minimum heating mode, and at a certain time, an hour or two before their return, the device switches to the optimal temperature mode.
  • The remote control makes operating the device comfortable.
  • Switching the convector on and off using a timer can significantly reduce energy consumption.

Device security

To ensure safe operation, the convector must have a number of basic protective functions:

  • Reliable protection against moisture ingress;
  • Turning off the heating element in case of overturning will avoid a fire;
  • Turning off the heating element in case of overheating of the device;
  • Protection against freezing, which consists in maintaining the temperature within +5 - 7 ° C in autonomous mode in the absence of owners.

In addition, if the convector is installed in a children's room, the presence of sharp edges and corners that could injure the child are unacceptable.

Which thermostat is best?


It is necessary to regulate the heating temperature using a thermostat. It can be of only two types: mechanical and electronic. It should be noted right away that a convector with mechanical thermostat: These devices are cheaper, easier and more reliable to operate. But, add with that, it is not very accurate, does not allow programming the device, consumes a little more electricity.

Electronic thermostat, of course, gives you ample opportunities in terms of setting the optimal temperature parameters, control using the remote control, but such models will cost more, and they are afraid of wet rooms, which will make it impossible to use them in some summer cottages or buildings in a summer cottage.

Advantages and disadvantages of electric convectors

In order to make an informed decision on how to heat a country house, you need to know both the advantages and disadvantages of convectors.

The advantages of this heating method are:

  • Savings on installation - when comparing the installation of a convector with the laying of a stove or installation of a boiler, it becomes clear that the costs here are practically minimal.
  • High efficiency of electrical appliances, which in some models can reach 95 - 99% (in reality it is slightly lower, but still the efficiency of convectors is very high).
  • The ability to quickly warm up the premises. This is especially important for those summer cottages that are rarely visited in the autumn-winter period, as a result of which they become very cold and damp. In such a situation, the convector gives the fastest result.
  • The ability to maintain a given temperature regime - equipping modern convectors allows you to automate this process as much as possible.
  • Long service life with proper care. And maintenance is very simple: timely removal of dust and dirt. Moreover, the device can serve for decades.
  • Low cost in comparison with capital equipment - furnaces or boilers. Russian models are available to every consumer, imported multifunctional ones are somewhat more expensive.

The disadvantages of convectors must also be taken into account:

  • Chief among them is the fact that electric heating at home is the most expensive of all available methods.
  • A limitation to the use of these devices is also a high ceiling height - more than 2.7 m. In such conditions, convection flows work with less efficiency, warm air is concentrated too high, so it can be cool at the level of human height.
  • Depending on the quality of the thermal insulation of the enclosing structures of the country house, such unpleasant phenomena as drafts may occur, which entail the movement of dust. And a general requirement for the effective use of electric convectors is good thermal insulation of the house.

Correlate all these considerations with your specific conditions and make an informed decision about the advisability of using convectors in the country.

From all of the above, the following conclusion can be drawn: for heating a country house, the best and most economical option are wall-mounted convectors, with a tubular or monolithic heating element, with a mechanical temperature controller and sufficiently high indicators of protective functions, but at the same time not "burdened" with too much the number of additional options.

The undoubted advantage of this model is the resistance of the automation to unexpected voltage drops in the network: it withstands surges in the range from 150 to 240 V. The convector is very economical with a fairly high heat transfer, the room heats up quickly and evenly.

The disadvantages of this device are a short cord and a weak design of the wheels (they fall off the chassis or quickly fail).

The convector can be equipped with one of the following types of heating element:

  • Needle - is a thin plate with a nickel thread. This design is very fragile and can quickly fail, therefore it is not popular with specialists.
  • Tubular - has a reliable design and not too high cost. But it should be borne in mind that such a convector at the initial stage of operation after switching on can click until the tubes heat up.
  • A monolithic element is the most reliable and expensive, but it will serve for a long time.

For the needs of stationary heating in a country house, convectors with monolithic heaters will be the best option. If the budget is not designed for such expenses, then choose a convector with a tubular heater.

A temperature regulator is necessary to control the operation of the device, it allows you to set the required temperature for heating the room, and maintain it as long as the device is working. It is this device that allows you to save electricity by turning off the device when the set temperature is reached and turning it on when it drops.
