The Electrolux gas boiler is a product of the famous Swedish concern that supplies household appliances for various purposes to world markets. The brand has long been known in the domestic market, and Electrolux products, simple and reliable, are popular with our consumers who are tired of breakdowns and repairs.
About Us
Having appeared at the beginning of the century, Electrolux was able to conquer the world market in a matter of years. Household appliances produced by the Stockholm company have always been distinguished by an innovative approach to production. Gas equipment of the brand “Electrolux” is valued for its versatility – it, regardless of power, is able to heat an area of up to 350 square meters. m. Swedish boilers are adapted to Russian operating conditions. Today, the giant concern unites three world brands at once – Electrolux, AEG, Zanussi. The concern’s products, certified and tested by Rostest, have been entering the Russian market since 1997.
Place in demand ranking
Annual sales of Electrolux boilers amount to tens of thousands. Russians choose Swedish boilers because of their good price-quality ratio. Ratings compiled by experts are often subjective, but they still help the consumer to navigate the abundance of brands. If we talk about moderate cost – namely, it is the most powerful factor influencing the buyer, then the top five winners look something like this: AOGV and AKGV, Navien, Electrolux, Protherm, Baxi.
The Swedish corporation produces boilers of various types – wall and floor. Consumers are more willing than others to buy two-circuit versions. Power is often chosen small and medium. Range – 11-30 kW. The cost is in the range of 25-000 rubles. Demanded series – Basic Space and Basic Duo. The price depends on the heat output.
Advantages
Reviews of Swedish boilers are extremely unanimous – consumers praise them for their reliability, noiselessness and efficiency, as well as for the “summer” mode. Pros:
- Easy to install.
- Compactness.
- Case color – in assortment.
- Stylish design.
- Economical – it is inexpensive and economically consumes gas.
- Stable room temperature.
- Easy management.
- Hot water – automatic supply.
- There is a built-in programmer.
- The power is modulated.
- Water heating is controlled.
Few cons:
- Users complain about the appearance of leaks – but this is not the fault of the manufacturer. A leak occurs if the device is incorrectly installed or operated in violation.
- Too sensitive automation. Its mission is to provide the highest possible level of security. But due to the sensitive response of sensors and relays to the slightest changes (failures) of parameters, a shutdown is possible. For example, it can happen if frost forms on the chimney. It is worth removing the cause of the failure, and the device will turn on without outside help – by the way, not all of its competitors have such abilities.
Features of the functional
The task of the manufacturer is not limited to the production of reliable and durable products, it is important to provide the consumer with comfortable use. Convenient operation is achieved by introducing various functional elements into the design:
- Dynamic temperature control DTS. Monitoring the temperature of the heating water and water in the DHW pipes.
- Connection to a warm floor.
- Safety. Sensors for protection against power surges and gas pressure.
- The choice of mode depending on the weather. ETS – provides comfort in the house, regardless of weather conditions.
- No-freez – anti freezing. This system turns on when the temperature drops below +5C
- Programmer for temperature control throughout the week.
What are Electrolux boilers?
Modifications of the proposed series differ:
- Power level. The most popular option among consumers is 24 kW. This is enough to heat the average apartment.
- Type of combustion chamber – open and closed. Models with a closed chamber – turbo, they take street air for combustion, while combustion products are diverted to the street. For options with an open type of chamber, ventilation is additionally purchased.
- Installation method. The wall-mounted version is more compact, can be placed in a small kitchen. Floor models are larger and more powerful. In apartments, wall modifications are more often installed.
- The number of circuits. A single-circuit works only for heating, a double-circuit is installed for heating housing and for heating water.
Mounted
Wall-mounted boilers in the Electrolux line:
- Two contours. They represent the series – MAGNUM, QUANTUM (quantum), Basic. For heating and hot water – their heat exchangers. There is an automatic device that adjusts the operation of the device to the weather conditions. In versions with a closed firebox, there is a condensation unit that increases the efficiency of the device up to 106%. The hinged apparatus is connected to a coaxial chimney. The advantage of such models is the economical consumption of gas.
- Mounted single-circuit. The circuit serves to heat the coolant. To connect the device to the hot water supply, an indirect type boiler is mounted. It can be connected to a sensor that responds to room temperature – this allows you to adjust the operating mode and save fuel. The combustion chamber is open or closed.
If necessary, install a remote control. Multi-stage protection is responsible for safety, its constituent elements are sensors and safety valves. The basic equipment also includes a pressure gauge and a backdraft valve. If the gas pressure decreases or the electricity fails, a shutdown signal will be given. The technical characteristics of Electrolux boilers make it possible to rank them among the safest and gas equipment. Any wall model, if necessary, is connected to two heating circuits – to the central one and to the “warm floor”. In each circuit, the heating of the coolant is automatically regulated separately.
Outdoor
They are mainly installed in residential buildings and cottages, characterized by a large area. Their main difference is high power, which means they can heat large private buildings. Many have a cast iron heat exchanger. Modifications are classified according to the following characteristics:
Number of circuits
Single and double circuit. The latter are more popular among domestic consumers. Having a device with 2 circuits, you can not buy a column or boiler – it will not only heat the house, but also provide residents with hot water. One of the latest models has a built-in boiler. Why is she good? Allows you to get heat instantly – just open the tap. Heated water is supplied evenly, its temperature does not depend on the pressure and the number of water intake points. Single-circuit devices, independent of the mains, are usually installed where water heating is not needed. A number of single-circuit versions have a built-in boiler.
Combustion chamber type
Closed and open type. With atmospheric or pressurized burner. The latter is more economical, but too noisy. The connection diagram (closed chamber) provides for connection to a horizontal chimney.
Dependence on electricity supply
Gas equipment connected to the mains is more functional – they have devices that increase efficiency. The volatile versions provide the following features:
- cleaning the heat exchanger;
- regime regulation;
- automatic control of hot water supply;
- radio remote control.
Non-volatile analogues are easier to maintain, they are more reliable, since they do not have nodes that respond to voltage drops.
Installation Rules
Connecting and setting up boilers is the task of specialists. It is especially difficult to install volatile models – here, in addition to connecting to the heating, you have to connect to the mains. The instruction introduces the user to the device and the rules of use, but it is better to entrust its installation, commissioning and first start-up to professionals.
Most Electrolux modifications are ready-to-use devices that do not require additional equipment. Installation of additional nodes may be necessary when installing non-volatile equipment. You should ask your consultant about additional nodes. You also need to find out – what is the capacity of the expansion tank.
Service
Most models from Electrolux uninterruptedly work out the service life provided for by technical and operational parameters. Situations requiring service:
- Turning on the heating in autumn. Shutdown – in the spring. Beginning and end of the season. Check the serviceability of the nodes, set the necessary settings. If defective parts are found, replace them.
- Faults. The control unit has an auto-diagnostic that displays the code on the screen. A number of problems are not related to the performance of the device. What should be of concern:
– increased electricity consumption – more than 10% of the normalized indicator;
– the flame goes out;
– does not work at normal voltage and gas pressure.

Reviews
Basic X 24Fi: Galina P., Pushkino
We bought a 2-circuit version for giving. For a year and a half, I did not have to face any problems. He himself regulates the temperature in the system and does not require reconfiguration. Hot water flows steadily – you can safely wash, no jumps and failures. Hot water is regulated at will. Recently bought a remote control, the use has become even more convenient – you can switch the parameters from anywhere in the house.
Hi-Tech Fi GCB 24: Timofey R., Slobodskoy.
Attracted affordable price. Of the advantages – a wireless thermostat and a convenient control panel. Minus – the rapid wear of the nodes. Has been in operation for 4 years. It seems to me that they collected it in China. And not only collected, but also developed. All nodes are typical. Weak air vent – in the second year it began to leak. Then a leak formed at the three-way valve. In the third year of operation, I changed the ignition electrode. All breakdowns are small, but clearly indicate the low resource of the components.
Electrolux presents a large selection of wall-mounted and floor-standing boilers of various capacities. This technique relieves users of many of the traditional problems associated with the operation of gas equipment. Automatic equipment and innovative technologies make gas heating comfortable, economical and safe.
