Country houses in Russia are heated in most cases with use of gas boilers today. At the same time in private buildings not too powerful equipment of this type is usually installed. In most cases boiler on several kilowatt for effective heating stays quite enough at home. However winters in Russia, as we know, very cold. And in December - February air temperature on the street can fall up to -30 °C and below.
Therefore sometimes it happens so that there is not enough power of gas boiler for creation in the house of comfortable microclimate. In this case owners of residential low-rise buildings usually in addition include the electrical heating equipment.
Oil heaters or convectors can be used in complex with boilers at the same time, for example. What it is better to include in the house at strong cold snap — about it and we will talk further in article.
What is represented by heating radiators
Oil heaters resemble normal central heaters superficially. That is design they have section. In most cases such models are complemented, in addition, with wheels and temperature regulators.
Pluses and minuses of radiators
First of all it is possible to carry low cost to advantages of such heating appliances. Also plus of radiators extreme simplicity in operation is considered.
Refer to shortcomings of radiators of heating first of all inertness. It is necessary to warm up the room when using such device very long. Also the fact that in the course of work their body very strongly heats up is considered minus of devices of this type.
What is the convector
Devices of this type have the form flat. They work by pretty simple principle. Cold air from floor indoors comes to openings in such equipment. The last settle down in casing below.
Further air passes through heating coil of design of the device and rises up — to room ceiling through openings at the top of casing.
Pluses and minuses of convectors
The advantage of the equipment of this type first of all the compactness is considered. It will be simpler to place the convector in the optimum place indoors, than radiator. It is possible to carry to pluses of the equipment of this type also that its casing during operating time does not heat up.
Advantage of the convector, in comparison with radiator, is also more uniform heating of rooms. Besides and air in rooms when using such devices gets warm quicker, than at operation of radiators.
The fact that they are capable to disperse dust on rooms is considered the main lack of convectors. Also rather high cost is considered minus of devices of this type.
So to choose?
Thus, both oil heaters, and convectors can heat rooms rather effectively. So the choice of the specific device will depend in this case only on personal preferences of owners of the real estate.
For example, if children live in the house, for supplementary heating in the winter, of course, it is better to buy the convector. About the body of the oil heater the little residents can burn simply.
If any of owners of the real estate has allergy to dust, in rooms it is worth installing the oil heater nevertheless. The best decision such device will become and in case in the house it is frequent, but for short terms disconnect the electric power. Feature of oil heaters, in addition, is that they not only are long warmed, but also are capable to hold long time warmly in the room even after disappearance of line voltage.
