Among other things, heating technology warms up for a long time, and it starts to give out hot water only after a minute. If you purchase German gas dual-circuit wall equipment, you will have to spend some time on maintenance, this is due to the fact that chimneys quite often encounter the problem of clogging.
Italian gas equipment
Italian gas boilers, whose rating will be presented below, are in second place after the German ones. If you prefer the products of this country, then you should pay attention to the following companies:

Pros of Italian boilers
Italian gas boilers, the rating of which is presented in the article, can be selected for a particular apartment, house or premises. If you are interested in equipment with a self-diagnosis system, then you can pay attention to the models of Baxi, as well as Ferroli. This introduction is the latest in technical development. As for the main brands, they are distinguished by reliability and simplicity, as well as the convenience of daily use. Such boilers do not face the problem of excessive fuel consumption, and they continue to function even with a sharp drop in gas level; atmospheric temperature readings can also fall to critical levels. If you want to choose the best gas boilers for the home, then it is worth paying attention to Italian products, since you can install it without having to provide a separate room. If the house or apartment has cramped conditions, then the size of the equipment plays a big role.

User manual for Italian gas boiler brand Baxi
The Baksi gas boiler must be used in accordance with all the rules, only then the equipment will justify the high quality and long service life. For example, a device is intended for heating water, the temperature of which cannot exceed the boiling point. The equipment is connected to the heating system and the preparation of hot water. The instruction manual for the gas boiler states that it is important to check before installation that the boiler is configured to operate with a specific type of gas. It is important to ensure sufficient draft in the chimney, there should be no restriction in it, extraneous products of combustion should not enter there, an exception is the case when the chimney is specially designed to service several devices.
Before the Baksi gas boiler is started, it is necessary to connect the flue pipe to the chimney, the latter must be cleaned, because during the operation of the boiler the soot elements can disconnect from the walls and block the exit to the combustion products. It is important to check the quality of water, if its hardness exceeds 20º F, then the equipment must necessarily function together with a polyphosphate batcher, sometimes it is replaced with a system for softening water, it is also called an electromagnetic converter. Before starting use, the equipment should be thoroughly rinsed, and for reliable operation of the device it is recommended to install a shut-off valve with a filter on the inlet pipe.
Gas boiler equipment made in France
All consumers who choose a gas boiler for water, quite often prefer products supplied from France. Companies located in this country close the top three. Among the most popular brands are:

The aforementioned manufacturers have been present on the domestic market since 1996, during this period many representative offices, service centers that offer high-level services have been opened in the country. Not all companies are distinguished by the presence of service workshops; this cannot be said of French-made products. Therefore, the mentioned manufacturers still managed to stay in the ranking of the most popular brands, however, today the Polish brand Termet, which represents the Slovak brand from Sweden, is on its heels.
Russian gas equipment
Russian gas boilers are perhaps the most popular in the domestic market. This is because the cost of this equipment is available to everyone, and the devices themselves are perfectly adapted to harsh climates. Among the most common suppliers are Rostovgazoapparat, Lemax, as well as Siberia. It is also noteworthy that you can choose equipment for yourself that will be able to heat a rather impressive area. That is why often consumers choose Russian gas products.
In order not to be unfounded, it is worth bringing a few prices for different models, which will be lower compared to foreign counterparts. For example, a model
The cost of boilers from Russia
"Rostovgazoapparat RGA AOGV 11 SIT" will cost the consumer 12,000 rubles. The power of this device is 11.6 kW, and it is intended solely for the arrangement of the heating system. Another single-circuit gas boiler of the same manufacturer of the AOGV 17.4 brand will cost a little more, its cost will be 12,200 rubles. In this case, the thermal power reaches 17 kW, the equipment assumes the presence of piezo ignition.
Instruction manual for gas boiler equipment brand Neva lux
Russian gas boilers sometimes have lower quality, but have many other advantages, which are easy installation and easy maintenance. Thus, equipment of the Neva lux brand must be inspected before each start-up; to do this, make sure that there are no flammable objects near the chimneys and the boiler. It is important to make sure that there is no smell of gas in the room, if it was detected, then you should immediately contact the gas service. The coolant must not leak before starting, among other things, it is important to carry out an external inspection of the chimney, sometimes it is damaged. If you encounter such a problem, then you should contact a service workshop.
The Neva Lux gas boiler must be cleaned before each start-up. If you encounter a decrease in the intensity of the flow of water in the hot water supply, then clean the filter. The air from the heating system should be periodically removed; if the water level in the heating system decreases, it must be supplemented to the required volume. This also applies to pressure. The boiler must remain clean, for this purpose it is necessary to remove dust from the surface and wipe the lining. To do this, you must first wet, and then dry rags. The Neva Lux gas boiler must undergo maintenance, during which the burner block is cleaned and the soot is washed out of the heat exchanger. If necessary, descale the heat exchanger pipes.
Space requirements for gas equipment installation
In order to avoid poisoning a person with carbon monoxide, the room where the boiler will be installed must be equipped with a ventilation system, it must provide air exchange in the volume of one room. If the boiler has been idle for a long time or there is a danger of freezing of the pipeline, the coolant is drained not only from the heating system, but also from the boiler. The room for a gas boiler must be disposed of from flammable objects and volatile substances like solvents and gasoline. With the normal functioning of the equipment and a working gas pipeline, you should not smell gas in the room where the device is installed.
