Country House

Cottages in suburban areas are different in many ways - the size, the material, the specifics of residence in their hosts (permanent or "arrival").But the problem of heating of concern to all equally.Small heaters convector type are considered to be in this group of devices the most versatile and effective.

How to choose an optimal model of convector heater for your house, everything, except the price, pay attention - with all that we shall understand.

Evaluation Criteria convector heater

Electric

For the vast majority of cottages - the best option, since virtually all arrays are connected to the prom / voltage.The device convector heating and a country house is easy to understand the principle of the drawings.

feature of the enclosure is that it has holes in the upper portion and the bottom.And there is also the heating element.The natural circulation of air flow provides a steady and qualitative heating in all rooms.

Pros:

Small dimensions that allows you to put convector heater in any part of the country house.

Possibility of any installation - on the floor and wall.

Minus:

Some inertia.Quick warm-cold room this convector does not provide.

Price - 1790 rubles (1 kW).

gas convector

Plus:

electric counterparts excel in their effectiveness.The cottage after the convector to work quickly to set the desired temperature.But the application of these models is justified only in cases where there are serious problems with the CNN / supply or its absence.For example, in areas recently designated for development.It restricts the use of gas convectors in the cottages.

gas

Cons:

have to deal with the "blue fuel" issue.Consequently, the price of the convector must be added the cost of gas cylinders (at least two, to replace) and the cost of periodic refueling.Accordingly, and related efforts.If a summer resident is not his car, it is advisable to select the device of this type is highly questionable.
In addition, it is necessary to solve the problem of diversion of combustion products.So, performed in the wall of the hole and out the chimney pipe.At the stage of construction of cottages is not difficult to do, and if it has long been built, is decorated on the inside?
third drawback is automatically linked with the previous one.These heaters require permanent installation, as the transfer device (if necessary) to another location will not work - it is attached to the pipe dymootvedeniya.
Required maintenance products will only add to the hassle of summer residents, which he and so lacking.

Price - 8600 rubles (4.5 kW).

Water convector

about this type of convector should only be mentioned in terms of general awareness of the reader.Country house - it's not a massive country house in a couple of floors, and does not make sense to start a house water supply pipes, making connections and the like.Especially if in winter in it, no one is home.From the point of view of the author, choose this type of convector for questioning - a waste of money.Especially as there are still significant shortcomings - the likelihood of leaks or freezing pipes and complexity of system maintenance.

Price - from 11 980 rubles (0.5 kW).

Power heater

In principle, the recommendation is for the boiler equipment.Adopted guided by (output in kW - heated area in m²) 1 to 10, with a small margin of 25 (± 5)%.For a typical, small-sized garden enough convector 1,5 - 3,5 kW (depending on the design features of the house, the structure / materials, finishes and climate in the region).

heating efficiency of convector cottages dimensions (as some believe) is not affected.All power is determined by the heating element.

degree of automation

convector - 1 This applies mostly to the type of thermostat as safety shutdown convector rollover provided in all models.

Mechanical. to testify this thermostat is enough, and there are tools in this version is much cheaper analogues.
Electronic. advantages in abundance - precision, quietness and a number of others.In general, these heaters are more comfortable to use.But there is a minus - it is easy to increase the cost of the device.Is it really necessary electronics for a small garden?

By type of heating element

heater.
Ceramic assembly.The best choice, as it can be easily cleaned from dust and become attached has more resources (less crashes).

In principle, the article reviewed all the major criteria for the selection of the convector.But another tip does not hurt.

When buying it is useful to clarify, where you can purchase a replacement heating element.He - the most vulnerable part of the device, and the risk of breakage, especially with intensive use or abrupt jumps of the supply voltage, is always there.Therefore, when buying convector is necessary to clarify whether further problems finding spare parts specifically to this model.Otherwise, it turns out that the device will not help a single use product.

author recalls that it was a question of choosing a convector for a typical garden.What does it mean?Small dimensions, 1st floor and living only in the season.If the house for the hosts - only housing, then choose the convector is meaningless, even the most advanced models.Why?

Due to problems with CNN / supply of suburban areas.Breaks lines - are not uncommon in winter.Plus - the lack of efficiency of the emergency services.Consequently, the electric convector will be difficulties.
Possible snow drifts make impossible the timely filling of cylinders.How many of them will have to buy just in case?

Conclusion - if the country one resides, then select probably do not need convector, and a small pot.What - liquid, solid fuel or another - is a separate issue, which is discussed in this article.
