How to choose a wall-mounted gas boiler

We have prepared a rating of the best wall-mounted gas boilers that can be found on sale in 2022. We were asked to tell about the features of choosing a device WOLF Service Engineer Viktor Chikalov и Technical Director of the FRISQUET heating equipment manufacturer Roman Gladkikh.

Before the purchase

Before choosing equipment, you need to decide how much heat and hot water you need to provide for your home. What matters is the number of family members, the heated area, the number of bathrooms and how the room will be heated – radiators and / or underfloor heating. With these characteristics already go to the experts.

For small house, where two or three people live, with one bathroom, a double-circuit gas boiler is suitable. It costs more than a single-circuit one, as it heats the water here and now. However, for the first 4-5 seconds, it will not be warm enough. Sometimes the temperature starts to jump in the process. On the other hand, there are double-circuit models with a DHW semi-accumulation system (there is always 1,5-3 liters of hot water in the boiler) or small built-in boilers. They also deliver hot water instantly and maintain an even temperature throughout use.

For big family, and also if you have two or more bathrooms, it is better to choose a single-circuit boiler with a boiler (purchased separately or as a set), which provides a constant supply of hot water and will allow you to organize an uninterrupted supply of several points at the same time. Then you can definitely avoid the situation when, when you turn on the tap in the kitchen, you are suddenly doused with ice water from the shower.

What power to take

You can calculate the required boiler power using a heat engineering calculation – there are online calculators on the Internet. Or leave it to the experts. Be guided by the rule yourself: if you need hot water supply from the boiler, and not just heating, then choose a model of at least 24 kW. . Or another standard: 1 kW of boiler power per 10 m² of house area.

Traditional boilers VS condensing

This is what boiler systems are called. Traditional ones are cheaper and use only the energy of burning gas. Condensing boilers save gas costs in the long run, although they are more expensive in the store. To obtain energy, they use the maximum of internal capabilities: hot flue gases are cooled with water and allow the resulting condensate to be reused. During the heating season, they save up to 25% of fuel. In addition, they are more environmentally friendly. In Europe, where a little earlier they began to care about the environment, condensing boilers are mandatory for installation. Perhaps Our Country will come to this in the near future.

What else to look for when choosing a wall-mounted gas boiler

The combustion chamber: open or closed. The first ones take combustion air from the room in which they are located. Exhaust gases are thrown into the chimney with natural draft. If there is none and there is no way to mount it, you can stop at a boiler with a closed combustion chamber and a special smoke exhaust system.

Where will the heat generator be located?. If in the kitchen, you should pay attention to the size and noise level. Today, there are models on the market three-quarters of a meter high, shallow and quite quiet – up to 50-53 dB;

What features are needed. Automatic control, remote control (for example, to give commands to the boiler while on vacation abroad), the ability to maintain different temperatures in different rooms (in the kitchen +20, in the bedroom +18, in the living room + 22), the ability to start up on its own after turning off when it falls gas pressure in the system, etc.

Гарантия. All manufacturers promise reliability, but only a few give a long-term guarantee. It should be at least two years for the main components and five years for the heat exchanger. Some companies are tricky: they give a 10-year warranty not on the heat exchanger itself, but on its corrosion resistance. An indirect sign by which it can be determined that the boiler will work for a long time is the period of availability of spare parts in warehouses after the model is discontinued. For example, 20 years.

Factory equipment. Often, a supposedly cheap boiler ends up costing twice as much, because you have to buy additional components for it: an expansion tank, a circulation pump, sensors. Therefore, when choosing, you should pay attention to the description of the factory equipment: the more devices included in the kit, the less you have to buy. Ideally, the boiler should be ready for installation out of the box.

Place of assembly and materials. Be sure to pay attention to the country of origin. This should be the home country of the brand, only in this way can you get a guarantee that the boiler meets all EU requirements, which are stricter than in Our Country in terms of environmental friendliness and safety. Some brands are moving production outside the EU, using outdated industrial lines, cheaper materials, qualified personnel. Therefore, not only the brand itself is important, but also the production site.

After-sales service. Ideally, it should work 24/7. The logistics for the delivery of spare parts must be built very clearly. For example, in some service companies, when leaving for a call, a specialist must carry with him all the spare parts, except for the heat exchanger. This greatly speeds up maintenance, because some other problem may “open up” during the repair. There are options for remote service: for this, a special device is connected to the boiler, with the help of which the service center specialists can monitor the state of the heating equipment non-stop in real time and, if something goes wrong, quickly respond to the error.

Price issue

There are many varieties and the cost of the boiler depends on many parameters. A traditional one can cost 40-50 thousand rubles, and a condensing boiler in the region of 100 rubles and more. High-power premium devices, for example, from Germany, can reach up to 000 rubles. Behind the high price is security, high energy efficiency and manufacturability, including, for example, remote control from a smartphone.

Install yourself or call a specialist

Gas is not safe. If you want the boiler to work longer, it is better to contact specialized service centers that will install the equipment, provide professional commissioning and regularly service the equipment. It is also mandatory, like maintenance for a car. If you do not want to suddenly be left without heat in the cold season, it is better not to save. Ideally, service engineers and installers from accredited centers of the manufacturer whose boiler was purchased.

Are gas boilers dangerous?

Modern models, when properly installed, are safe devices. But it is still better to read the instructions and adhere to the specified requirements. Recently, all boilers sold in Our Country are equipped with draft anomaly sensors in order to protect against carbon monoxide poisoning. Many models automatically turn off if the pressure drops in the gas network. For safety, you can hang a gas sensor in the room with the boiler.
