For any family, heating the home and providing the necessary hot water for domestic needs is a top priority. And people living in apartments do not have many options when choosing solutions for the heating system:

• electric boiler (which is not very efficient),
• inverter air conditioners (which are an effective option but are a more expensive investment),
• heat pump (which, although very economical, you will need a larger budget when you decide to purchase one),
• Thermocom (high monthly bill, you do not control the temperature in the house and the on/off system),
• cazanele pe gaz în condensație (which we will talk about in detail in this article).

Condensing boilers – the best choice for those who already have gas and an autonomous heating system. And since the price on the international exchange has already fallen, discounts of up to 40% are expected from the final price for consumers.

Thus, when installing a high-performance condensing boiler, gas consumption will sharply decrease.

Operating principle of condensing boilers

The operating principle of such a boiler is based on the ability of steam to turn into liquid when cooled. During the transition of water from one state of aggregation to another, a certain amount of thermal energy is always released. This part of the energy helps save fuel and also increases the efficiency of such a boiler.

Steam absorption occurs in a special chamber called a heat exchanger. This heat exchanger has a larger surface area than other gas boilers.

Thanks to condensation, condensing boilers have an efficiency of approximately 111%.

However, these figures show that 11% of additional thermal energy is obtained due to steam condensation. Moreover, this 11% is formed without adding fuel.

This 11% seems like a small difference, but in the end the user will consume 30-50% less gas compared to a conventional boiler.

Advantages of condensing boilers

Additional efficiency and effectiveness

Condensing boilers are one of the best heating appliances depending on the technology used. Therefore, they are characterized by very high efficiency and efficiency.

While a conventional boiler, such as an electric one, provides heating efficiency of 85%, a condensing boiler has an average efficiency of over 105%.

Extended service life

When properly maintained, a gas condensing boiler has a longer service life than a traditional one. Thus, condensing boilers have an important competitive advantage over other types of heating systems.

Increased service life also comes with higher initial purchase costs.

Low emissions

Modern technologies used in condensing boilers ensure that such home heating equipment is extremely environmentally friendly and produces few harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

Factors to consider when choosing a condensing boiler

There are quite a lot of factors influencing the choice of boiler model, and below we present the most important of them.

Heated building volume

In addition to the actual area, the height of the rooms is also important, as well as the degree of insulation of the house or the climatic conditions in the area.

Origin of the boiler

You should choose a European-made boiler, from an experienced manufacturer who has been producing these boilers for decades and has a wealth of experience. This way you will get a good guarantee and energy savings.

Design

Even if most boiler models are wall-mounted (hanging on the wall), there are also floor-standing models.

There are models that can be controlled remotely, which is an advantage when no one is at home and you want the house to be warm.

Number of users

The more people and the more consumers, the more hot water consumption will increase, and this will influence the choice of the most suitable model. If you need a lot of hot water (for example, you have 2 bathrooms), then we recommend installing a boiler with a heat exchanger and an indirect heating boiler that will provide you with a large volume of hot water.

Maintenance and repair of condensing boilers

Regular maintenance of condensing boilers is extremely important. And we recommend that you do annual boiler maintenance to extend its service life. However, there is a step you can take on your own if you want to maintain the efficiency and proper functioning of your condensing boiler: install a magnetic impurity filter.

We recommend carefully choosing the condensing boiler model you need, not based on price, but according to your needs.

The market for gas condensing boilers is huge and meets many requirements, especially now that many models feature electronic automation and intelligent functions.
