When you want to connect a boiler – call a professional
There are boilers in almost every household or building. They are used to heat water so that hot water is available to the entire household or building. The boiler is therefore a very important device in every household. It must of course be properly connected, so that hot water is available when you need it. If you are not sure that you will connect the boiler and start it up yourself, you should entrust this work to a professional. This is a very complex job, so with a minimum of knowledge you will not be able to connect the boiler correctly. With improper operation of the boiler, you risk possible bigger problems, such as overheating of the boiler.
What are the advantages of a boiler in the household?
Modern heating systems are much more efficient than old devices, which had very low efficiency and often became the cause of fires or carbon monoxide poisoning. They are also very functional and reliable. It is necessary to say that in the past few years a large number of such devices have appeared, which are characterized by very good technical characteristics and design. If you have decided to get and connect a boiler in your household, you will not go wrong. By installing a boiler, you solve the problem of having a large number of fireplaces in the same house. This is certainly a cheaper and more environmentally friendly option.
Types of central heating boilers
First of all, it is very important to determine the size of the space that you want to heat with the boiler, so that you know how much power of the boiler”s heat source you need to heat that space. After determining the size of the space you are heating, ie the square footage of each room, which you probably already know, you need to choose a heating boiler that has sufficient power (kW) to heat that space. It is the main factor responsible for the proper functioning of the system. In addition to the power of the boiler, it is important to determine what type of boiler you will choose. There is usually a debate about whether to choose a cast or steel boiler. The advantage of cast iron boilers is that, as a rule, they last longer than steel boilers, but they have a lower utilization rate, ie they use a larger amount of fuel for heating. However, cast iron boilers are generally easy to clean. In addition to the demand for a boiler, many people are debating what kind of firewood to use. According to this division there are: Pellet boilers, solid fuel boilers, electric boilers, floor boilers, gas boilers.
Solid fuel boilers
Connect the boiler Solid fuel boilers only use wood and coal. Depending on needs and wishes, it is possible to choose cast iron or steel boilers. The advantage of using solid fuel boilers is reflected in their combustion chamber, which has exceptional heat transfer to water (cast iron boilers) or drafts (steel boilers). In particular, long-burning boilers enable the achievement of higher heating power and reduced fuel consumption. In specialized stores, you can find a large selection of different models at affordable and special prices.
Electric boilers
Electric boilers work on a similar principle as gas boilers. However, instead of using gas as fuel to heat the water in the central heating system, they use electricity. In the variant of the combined electric boiler, these heating systems provide a great saving in space, since a boiler for heating sanitary hot water and a boiler for central heating can be obtained in one device.
Gas boilers
Gas boilers are mini boiler rooms that have all the necessary elements for the smooth functioning and automated operation of the central heating system as well as the preparation of sanitary hot water (DHW). The wall-mounted gas boiler is the most common heating system in residential and commercial spaces. Gas boilers take up little space, so finding a place for a gas boiler, whether condensing or conventional, in your home will not be a problem. An increasing number of gas boilers have the possibility of heating sanitary hot water, and you have the option of choosing a model according to the need for DHW, so there is also a significant saving in the consumption of electrical energy. They have relatively low prices, as well as simple and cheap assembly.
