The best electric convectors 2022

Before many people there is a question of heating of these or those premises. This happens especially often in winter. At the moment, there are several different ways to deal with this problem. It can be a gas boiler or a powerful radiator. However, today we will consider an alternative, namely convectors. These devices transfer heat by convection, due to the circulation of air through a system of fins.

Please note that in our rating we are talking about electric convectors. They also come in gas type. The advantages of electric convectors include quiet operation, safety, compactness and ease of installation. In addition, they do not require the installation of a chimney. Between themselves, electric convectors differ in power characteristics, functionality and design. KP compared offers from manufacturers and ranked the best convectors in 2022.

How to choose a convector

All of the above models differ from each other in a number of parameters. In particular, in terms of power, installation method, safety, warranty period and others. Today the market of convectors is significantly crowded. Making the right choice with such a variety is quite problematic. To understand all the intricacies, the KP turned to founder and host of the YouTube channel “Man in the House” Alexei Tretyakov. Weekly he makes reviews about the features of living in a country house. Alexey knows from his own experience what the choice of a convector is.

Wall or floor

According to Alexey, first of all, you need to determine for yourself the desired method of fixing the heater. In most cases, they are installed under the window on a special bracket. Sometimes buyers have a desire to make the heater mobile. To do this, you should purchase special legs with wheels, if they are not provided in the kit.

Chassis

Particular attention should be paid to the body of the device. What matters is the material from which it is made, and dimensions. The convenience of placing the device and its convective properties will depend on the last parameter. So, at a height of 0,4-0,6 m, heaters have the highest traction and heating. If this parameter is 0,2-0,4 m, then the heat removal is significantly reduced, but this is compensated by the width of the device. The lowest heat flow rates are typical for convectors with a height of 0,15-0,2 m.

A heating element

There are three types of elements used for heating in modern convection devices. In particular, we are talking about needle, heating elements and monolithic. The first type is able to heat up and cool down instantly. In this case, the convection process occurs due to the design. This item is not recommended for use in high humidity areas. As for the heating elements, they are the most optimal. Most models of this type are equipped with moisture protection. This allows them to be installed in bathrooms. A monolithic element is suitable for those who have an acute question of silence.

Temperature controllers (electronic and mechanical)

Most mechanical thermostats are much cheaper than their electronic counterparts. However, they have a number of disadvantages. So, they consume much more energy resources, the temperature regime is not always observed, they constantly click at the time of start-up and shutdown. The electronic thermostat is silent, the error in temperatures is minimized in it, it consumes electricity economically.

Power

To determine the optimal power, it is necessary to make a calculation. It is calculated according to the volume of the room 35-40 W / m3. You should also take into account the likely heat loss due to external walls and glazing. This factor will affect the rate of space heating.
