16 best boilers

Cumulative boilers firmly occupied a leading position in the market of water heating appliances. Thanks to them, tenants of apartments and houses at any time can use hot water. This requires only a stable supply of cold water and the presence of at least one stable source of energy.

The main criteria for choosing a boiler

1. To decide on built-in tank capacity simple enough. For giving or individual use the tank with a capacity up to 50 l will be enough. Providing a family of 2-3 people with hot water is capable of a boiler of 80-100 liters. When a large number of consumers use water, it makes sense to look at models with a capacity of up to 300 liters.

2. Heater type is selected taking into account the available energy. Electric heating elements are easy to control, their power range depends on the volume of the tank and ranges from 2 to 6 kW. Water can be heated by burning gas. Some models are able to work on liquefied fuel. A number of devices are able to use heat from the heating system, solar energy or underground sources. Always be with hot water allow combined boilers, where it can be used several different types of energy.

3. Durability of the water heater depends largely on the material from which the tank is made. The stainless steel is the most resistant to corrosion. Good corrosion protection of steel against rust is provided by various coatings in combination with anodic protection.

4. To the owner did not fear for the safety of the boiler during its absence, manufacturers equip appliances modern security features. The safety valve is responsible for the pressure inside the tank, the thermostat maintains the temperature of the water in a given range, electrical models are equipped with an RCD. An option that prevents the device from turning on when there is no water in the tank will be useful.

Our review includes the best boilers of various types. In compiling the rating, technical parameters of the devices, expert opinions, and user feedback were taken into account.
