Useful tips when choosing an electric convector:
Nowadays, electric power is becoming more and more popular. It is cheap and sometimes free due to the increased use of renewables sources like the Sun, wind and water, decreasing the level on carbon intensity. This turns electricity into the most ecological, sustainable and affordable energy. This is why modern electric heating devices leave no carbon footprint or it is many times smaller than that of heating systems using fossil fuels, pellets and wood.
Different technologies are used for heating with electricity. Some heaters emit in the infrared spectrum, warming objects in front of them, others have a built-in fan that circulates air through the heating element. Convection electric heaters, or so-called convectors, work on the principle of natural convection. The denser and heavier cold air is pulled out through the louvres in the lower part of the convector, passes through the electric heater and , already heated, circulates in the room .
Our observations show that electric convectors are becoming an increasingly popular choice for heating. This is understandable - in addition to being environmentally friendly, they have some significant functional advantages.
Advantages of electric convectors.
- 100% efficiency and profitability.
Every kW consumed is converted into heat. Compare this with the systems for heating on liquid or solid fuel, at which the energy everything drop and lose through chimney on the boiler. Modern electric convectors are the most energy-efficient heaters and reach the desired temperature in a few minutes. They transfer the heat and warm the space faster than central heating. After reaching the desired temperature, the heater turns off and subsequently only adds the necessary degrees. For difference from most electric appliances, convectors they don't have heat losses .
- Optimized costs.
Apart from the price advantage, electric convectors have no costs for installation . In addition requires t minimum annual maintenance .
- Reliability and long life.
It's electric convectors practically they don't have moving everything parts . In addition to this, we have designed the heaters and aluminum radiators to be light duty. This ensures operational debt operational life .
- Low noise level.
Electric convectors work almost silently, which makes them an ideal solution for heating bedrooms and work spaces.
- Higher degree of accuracy compared to others systems offering control room by room .
- Flexibility at solving the heating problem.
The electric convector can yes works independently or like part from heating system. He can yes be installed for counted minutes compared to conventional heating systems. So like the electric ones convectors no require chimneys or pipelines, none regulatory or planned problems, such as there are for example with gas installations , this allows bigger freedom of interior planning .
Useful tips for an informed choice of an electric convector.
- Choose a model with high energy efficiency.
In 2018, Regulation ( EU) 2015/1188 on eco-design of local heating heat sources entered into force. Through it, minimum energy requirements were set for the heating devices offered in the territory of the European Union. The indicator "seasonal energy efficiency" ( ηs ).
We will not go into technical details, but it is good to know that the maximum value of seasonal energy efficiency is 40%. The minimum value for electric portable heating appliances must yes be no smaller of 36%, and for stationary they are fastened with power over 250 W (such as wall convectors) - minimum 38% .
The high values of with the seasonal energetic efficiency can only be achieved if the convector has a built-in electronic thermostat and electronic management with eco-functions such as weekly programmer, adaptable start, "Open window” and remote control p res Internet. Therefore, if you are offered a wall-mounted convector with mechanical control and a mechanical thermostat, you can be sure that it does not meet modern European requirements. ELDOM electric wall convectors have 39% seasonal energy efficiency.
- Choose a model with intelligent electronic WI-FI control.
In the opportunity for programming and remote management it will also allow you to control and optimize it heating depending from yours needs . As well as will help you to reduce the the excess consumption on energy .
There is a huge difference between one electronic controller and another. We recommend that you check if the model you liked or recommended has timers and weekly programmers, a precise electronic thermostat to maintain on constant temperature with an accuracy of 0.1°C, it functions for recognizes no on open window or door, "Sleep" mode, statistics on operation and consumed electricity, is there a built-in Wi-Fi connection module with which to control you and you manage online all the functions of your device.
Electric convectors ELDOM offer all these possibilities. Including some of the portable models . Eldom electronic management has a large color LED control panel , with multilingual intuitive menus.
- Choose a model with suitable power.
Calculate the required power according to the volume of the room. For a perfectly insulated room, about 45W per cubic meter is needed.
- Safety.
Check if the convector has built-in safety features, such as protection against overheating, from children's hands, from power failure, from current leakage, from moisture, from freezing, automatic shutdown in case of tilting or falling. As, for example, with all ELDOM convectors.
- Design and dimensions.
Choose a model that fits well into the interior of the room. Compact and stylish designs can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. On the other hand, the so-called "Scandinavian type" convectors are wider to ensure the comfortable circulation of a larger heat flow.
