Rating of floor gas boilers in 2023

---

Contents:

  •  Although the efficiency of floor boilers is less than that of wall-mounted boilers, the former are cheaper and break less often due to the simplicity of the design. Some models have cast iron heat exchangers, very durable – 25 years or more. Steel serves, on average, 12-13 years. Copper heat exchangers – 5-8 years.

  •  So that you can choose the best option for the price and characteristics, I studied the reviews of experts and ordinary users, and made a rating of floor gas boilers in 2023.

Boilers of which company is better in terms of reliability

1. Atem

  •  Atem boilers are manufactured by a factory in Zhytomyr, Ukraine. They are well known in the CIS countries due to the combination of simplicity, reliability and low prices.

2. Baxi

  •  The Baxi brand belongs to the European association BDR Thermea Group, whose products are supplied to more than 70 countries around the world. Representative office was opened in 2002.

3. Protherm

  •  Protherm boilers are assembled outside Russia, but not in China, but in Slovakia – the company's production facilities are located there. According to the press service, the boilers are of high quality – both due to the high standards of the organization, and the personal responsibility of the assembler for the resulting product.

4. Siberia

  •  Heating boilers called "Siberia" are produced by southern residents – production is located in the city of Rostov-on-Don, where winters are not so severe. However, this does not harm the quality and reliability of the boilers: the company specializes exclusively in home equipment, so it can afford to hone its products to perfection.

5. Conord

  •  One of the oldest and largest factories for the production of heating equipment – it was built back in 1979. Since then, according to the Conordovites, more than 2 million Russians have been heating their homes with the company's products. Despite its authoritative age, Conord's products are the most modern – boilers of European quality, which, at the same time, are adjusted to the harsh Russian weather conditions.

6. Lemax

  •  The Taganrog company "Lemax" has long been well known to buyers of heating equipment – it has been on the market since 1992, which is raren conditions. The company has two own factories, where they produce the whole variety of boilers – from solid fuel to electric ones.

How to choose a floor gas boiler, how to calculate power

Natural or liquefied gas

  •  The first thing to think about is not the brand of the boiler, but what type of fuel is most common in your area, how cheap it is and whether it is easy to get it. It is best to choose a model that can run on both methane and propane.

Single-circuit or double-circuit?

  •  If you want to use the boiler only as a means of heating and nothing else, then the best option is a single-circuit one. Such boilers are easy to install, maintain and manage, their design is simple, their dimensions are compact compared to double-circuit counterparts. If hunting is also warm water, you can theoretically connect a flow-through boiler, but you will have to pay extra for this.

  •  And if you want to have a full-fledged hot shower in a country house, then the right choice is a double-circuit boiler. One of the circuits goes to heating, and the second to hot water.

Non-volatility

  •  It's one thing – a country house, where someone is always there. Another thing is the dacha, where the owners come only on Sundays. In the latter case, you need a non-volatile device with high autonomy, which is able to work on its own for a long time, in the case of power outages. However, it is important to remember that for the circulation of the coolant in the heating circuit, a circulation pump is required, which must also be provided with autonomous energy during a power outage.

Heat Exchanger

  •  If you plan to leave this boiler to your children and grandchildren, you will have to think about buying a model with a cast-iron heat exchanger, the life of which is at least a quarter of a century. Of course, if you use it correctly.

  •  A heat exchanger can be made from a variety of materials, but three are most commonly used.

• Copper, although the best in terms of thermal conductivity, is expensive and wears out quickly, so it is rarely used.
• Cast iron are considered the most indestructible. However, cast iron has a weak point – vulnerability to temperature changes.
• Steel heat exchangers, although less capricious and weigh much less than cast iron, however, serve less, can rust or burn out.

Economy

  •  Here the main parameter is the type of burners. If the burner is single-stage, then it is impossible to regulate the degree of heating – it will always be maximum. A two-stage burner has more options – full or half power. Modulating burners are the most advantageous here: they can work with an intensity from 10% to a maximum, and the adjustment is not on a scale, but smooth.

High temperature or condensing?

  •  High temperature boilers are great for radiator heating at home; after heating, the temperature of the coolant reaches 40-50 °. For condensing boilers, the carrier temperature can be below 40 °, but such boilers consume gas more economically. This type reveals all its strengths if the house is warmed up with warm floors.

  •  Alas, savings in one cost in another – a condensing boiler requires a neutralizer tank, into which diluted (1:10) acid condensate will fall, and it also costs more.

How to choose the right power

  •  Here you need to take into account several factors: the area of \u1b\u10bthe house, the height of the ceilings, the walls – how thick they are and what they are made of, whether there is insulation and what kind it is, where exactly the boiler will be located, and so on and so forth. The simplest and most primitive calculation is 2 kW per XNUMX mXNUMX. For accurate calculations, it is better to contact a specialist.

Boiler placement

  •  Floor boilers are available with a capacity of up to 100 kW or more. Please note that if a boiler with a capacity of more than 60 kW, then it needs a special room, equipped in accordance with all fire safety rules.
