The Russian market for heating equipment is represented by a large number of various models that are manufactured by manufacturers in various countries. Among them, a significant niche is occupied by Korean gas heating boilers . All models made in this country are of high quality, safety and affordable price. And these characteristics allow products to be competitive in a crowded market.
Advantages of equipment
Korean gas boilers are popular with buyers. And this is not surprising, given the fact that they have several advantages. Among them, consumers distinguish the following:
- A wide variety of models
- Attractive appearance.
- Reasonable price (the cost starts from 22 thousand rubles).
- High efficiency.
- The ability to connect the boiler to a source of liquefied gas (for this you only need to replace the jets that are included in the delivery).
- Uninterrupted operation even with unstable pressure in the gas supply network.
- A high level of security will protect against the occurrence of unpleasant situations even in case of violations in the operation of equipment of various kinds.
Korean gas heating boiler can optionally be equipped with a durable heat exchanger. This element has an increased ability to withstand the appearance of traces of corrosion during operation.
Disadvantages of boilers
A Korean-made gas boiler can easily compete with models from manufacturers in other countries. The quality of equipment is given special attention. Therefore, it is not in doubt among buyers.
But even Korean gas boilers have their drawbacks. The network of service centers in Russia is poorly developed. This can cause some inconvenience in the event of a breakdown. Difficulties can be with the purchase of failed parts. If similar parts of boilers of European manufacturers are interchangeable, then this is not the case with products from Korea. Therefore, acquiring the Asian model, specify the conditions of warranty (and post-warranty) service, as well as the addresses of the nearest service centers.
