The harsh climatic conditions in Russia are forcing homeowners to install various heating systems. One of the interesting options is a heating system with an electric boiler. This source of heat energy is somewhat inferior in terms of efficiency to gas boilers, but it wins in terms of safety. Electrical appliances do not require the installation of chimneys, efficient ventilation ducts. And the boiler can work without human intervention for weeks. Many modern models can be integrated into a single home control system. Electricity is the most environmentally friendly form of energy, since no gases or smoke are emitted during the heating process. The only drawback is the high cost of electricity. This negative factor can be neutralized by choosing the right boiler.

Selection criteria for an electric boiler

1. It is very easy to determine the power of an electrical appliance. With a rough estimate for heating 10 sq. m consumed 1 kW of heat energy. Although this parameter is influenced by the number of windows and doors, the quality of thermal insulation, regional characteristics.

2. Several functions can improve the efficiency of the electric boiler. This is a circulation pump, room thermostats, the ability to connect a warm floor. It is convenient to simultaneously heat the water in the boiler.

3. It should be noted that most models operate on a 380 V three-phase electrical network, so you will have to make a draft power line for those property owners where only a household highway is laid. You can also use devices for 220 V, but in this case, there must be modern and reliable wiring.

The best electric boilers were included in our review. When compiling the rating, criteria such as technical capabilities, price, expert opinion and consumer reviews were taken into account.
