If we analyze the development trend of the heating equipment market in Europe, we can note the ever-increasing popularity of electric heating. This fact cannot be called surprising, since the residents of Russia are increasingly making a similar choice.
The prevalence of electric heaters
Due to the fact that gas has not been transported everywhere, and liquid boilers have not been able to gain widespread popularity, electric convectors are being purchased more and more often today. This applies not only to private houses, but also to apartments where central heating does not cope with the tasks assigned to it. Installation of an autonomous system is not always permitted by law, so many families are saved by purchasing electric heaters that allow you to create a comfortable microclimate inside the home. When shopping, consumers encounter difficulties that are expressed in choosing the best device. Experts advise choosing electric convectors that are unpretentious in operation, efficiency, practicality and safety.
Why you should choose an electric convector
If you decide to purchase the equipment described in the article, then you can pay attention to the convector "Electrolux". Such devices distribute hot air throughout the volume of the room silently and evenly. You may prefer a model that is equipped with a fan, this will speed up the heating process. However, in this case you can not count on noiselessness. It should be noted that the surface of the device is completely safe, it does not heat above 60 degrees and can not cause burns. This factor plays an important role in the popularity of modern convectors. The convector "Electrolux" differs from oil installations in that it is completely not traumatic, which is why you can use this equipment even in the house where there are children and animals.
Reviews on the convector brand "Electrolux" with different heating elements
On sale you can find the described device, in which one of three types of heating elements are installed, among them: monolithic, tubular needle. As for the second type of element, it is equipped with aluminum fins. Needle heating elements are a rather thin dielectric plate on which a chromium-nickel heating thread is installed, it is covered with an insulating varnish during the manufacturing process. Consumers claim that appliances with this addition cool down and heat up almost instantly. Convection inside the equipment, which is based on a needle heater, is made thanks to the design of the housing. If you decide to purchase an Electrolux convector with such a device, then, as experienced consumers emphasize, it will not be possible to use it inside wet rooms, this is due to the fact that the varnished surface is almost not protected from moisture.
Professional advice
Such units are so popular today for the reason that they have a low cost, but the durability of the equipment, which can often be heard from a modern buyer, is doubtful. In practice, needle heaters in electric convectors are rarely used, but if you still find such a unit on sale, it is best to refrain from buying.
Reviews of convectors with a tubular heating element
If you consider the Electrolux convector as a heating device for your home, then it can be based on a tubular heating element. It is a steel tube in which a nichrome thread is installed . The tube is filled with a heat-conducting backfill in the form of an insulator. Aluminum fins are fixed on the tube, which provide effective heat transfer, enhancing convection. According to users, the tubular element heats up less than the needle element, but is more durable. Quite often, models of units with heating elements are made in a sprayproof design, which is why they can be used even in bathrooms, which is very popular with modern consumers. If you are not afraid that during operation the difference in thermal expansion of the ribs and tubes can cause sounds that resemble crackles, then you can safely choose such equipment for your home.
Consumer reviews of monolithic convectors
The convector "Electrolux", reviews about which often enough are only positive, may have a monolithic heating element. According to experts, it is the most acceptable option, as it is quiet. Due to the fact that the heater body is solid, and the ribs are its integral part, the equipment does not create additional sounds during use. Such devices are most popular for the reason that they work with the smallest heat loss, and are also highly efficient. Professionals advise to opt for models in which a tubular or monolithic version of the heating element is installed. The latter variety is the perfect solution.
Instruction for use
If you purchased an electric convector "Electrolux", then it is worth considering where it will be located. The device can be mounted on the wall, and you will need to use special mounts that come with the equipment. Quite often, consumers choose mobile models that can be moved from room to room. If you are more interested in the second option, then you need to pay attention to whether there are wheels in the delivery set, which eliminates the need to search for these accessories in city stores. If you are considering “Electrolux” convectors with an electronic thermostat at the point of sale, it is important to pay attention to the overall dimensions of the device. This will allow you to most harmoniously fit the equipment into any interior. The most elegant models, which are baseboards, can have a height of up to 15 centimeters.
Reviews on the power of the convector brand "Electrolux"
Heating convectors "Electrolux" can have different capacities. The selection of this indicator can be carried out according to the following formula. It involves the use of one kilowatt of power per 10 square meters of floor space. This is true if the ceiling height does not exceed 2.7 meters. If this figure is larger, then for every 10 centimeters of height it will be necessary to add 10% of the power. According to experienced users, it is important to take into account the moment that convector heating may not be basic. In order to ensure high-quality heating, you need as many convectors as there are windows in the room. If we are talking about a corner room or a room that is located above a cold basement, and also has a large glazing area, then you need a sufficient supply of power, experts advise to pay special attention to this.
Consumer reviews on the thermostat in the design of the convector
If you decide to purchase the Electrolux convector, the instructions for using which were presented above, it is important to take into account the moment that the thermostat, which is part of the described equipment, is responsible for maintaining the required temperature inside the building. After visiting the store, you can pick up a model with electronic or mechanical control of the thermostat. Those consumers who want to save money, purchase devices with a mechanical thermostat, as it reduces the cost of construction. However, in this case, you should be prepared for some inconvenience, among them - the consumption of a large amount of energy, poor exposure to temperature conditions, as well as characteristic clicks when turning off and on. As experts advise, it is best to purchase wall-mounted convectors "Electrolux", which have electronic thermostats. Of course, they win against the background of mechanical ones.
