Combined heating boilers - the temperature in the house is under control!

At a time when the prices for heating are growing and its quality is not improving significantly, many residents and just owners of different buildings and structures are thinking about alternative ways of heating the room. Combined heating boilers are among them . They come in different configurations, they work on different fuels or combinations of fuel.

What is good about these heaters? Firstly, they can be placed both in residential buildings and in additional premises and maintain, for example, the minimum temperature if the house is not used. Secondly, in conditions of severe frosts, it is possible to raise the temperature in the rooms to a maximum, which will save the residents from catarrhal diseases. Thirdly, in the market it is possible to choose combined boilers for heating houses, working on fuel sources, at an affordable price. It all depends on what kind of fuel is available in a particular region.

For example, you can choose a boiler that operates on electricity and on wood (gas, diesel). These fuel sources in some regions are still relatively inexpensive. As a rule, the room is heated at the expense of the main type of fuel, giving out tens of kW of energy. In our case it is firewood. And an additional source of energy - electricity - is used to maintain the desired temperature after the burning of wood is over.

When you consider combined heating boilers as a source of heat for your home, it makes sense to pay attention to the following characteristics:

- possibility of switching from one fuel to another without changing the burner;

- the maximum temperature reached;

- the presence of valves to reduce the noise level from the boiler;

- the dimensions of the furnace and the boiler itself (there are samples on the market, under which it may be necessary to strengthen the floor in the room);

- material from which the grates are made (for boilers operating on wood and electricity);

- the presence of a device (coil) to provide rooms with hot water.

Combined heating boilers are designed for different room sizes. Some models are capable of serving several hundred square meters, maintaining a comfortable temperature. It also makes sense to ask what the heat exchanger is made of. The options are steel or cast iron. Cast iron keeps heat better, is resistant to corrosion, but has a significant weight. Steel cools faster, better keeps temperature changes, but can rust. Some may be interested in such a characteristic as the temperature of the hot water supply at the outlet of the boiler. Combined heating boilers usually have this value in the vicinity of about 45-50 degrees Celsius.

The vast majority of modern boilers have a regulated automatic system, which allows you not to get up, for example, at night, to "throw fuel" or pour diesel fuel. In addition, combined heating boilers have a beautiful design, allowing you to install equipment without violating design intentions.
