Wall-mounted boilers look more elegant, they allow you to save space in the boiler room, which is important in the close utility rooms.
3. Power. The most important parameter of the heating device is thermal power. For houses with good insulation and standard rooms (3 m high), it is common to determine the power index by a simple formula. With the help of 1 kW of heat, you can heat an area of ​​10 sq. m. In old houses with poor thermal insulation, it is necessary to install a boiler whose power is higher than the calculated one by 20-50%. Approximately 20% more powerful is selected and double-boiler, so that the heating of hot water does not adversely affect the temperature of the coolant. For example, for heating cottages area of ​​70-80 square meters. m will be enough to buy a boiler with a thermal capacity of 8-12 kW. Large house or cottage with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. m is able to heat the device with a power range of 22-35 kW. Experts do not advise to pursue too productive models, frequent switching on and off of the burner will strain residents.
