The summer season is unfairly short. As soon as the chilling breath of autumn is felt outside the window, there is a need to heat your home. One of the convenient, fast and low-cost options is to purchase a compact, efficient heating device. Before making a choice, it is worthwhile to figure out what wall-mounted energy-saving heaters for the home are, find out their functions and capabilities, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each type.

Wall mounted energy saving

Wall-mounted energy-saving heaters for the home: advantages and types of appliances

Despite the fact that many have long abandoned centralized heating services in favor of autonomous heating, mobile heaters for a house or apartment are still in demand. After all, it is often necessary to fill the house with warmth on days when the cold suddenly returns, and it is simply irrational to start the entire heating system. It is then that compact electric heaters can be used to make up for the lack of heat.

Electric wall heaters: advantages and types of appliances

Modern household electric heaters are characterized by efficient use of electricity, converting it into heat by more than 90%. That is why such devices are energy-saving. Manufacturers of climate equipment, improving their models, increase not only their technical and operational characteristics. Massive outdoor heaters have been replaced by wall-mounted counterparts, which are distinguished by their practicality, compactness and aesthetically attractive appearance.

Wall-mounted heaters for the home use a variety of heating methods, taking into account the possibility of regulation, control and safe use. Given a number of criteria, heaters are divided into types.

Depending on the heating method:

• convection - the room is heated by the movement of the air flow passing through the heating element;
• infrared - heating occurs due to thermal radiation.

Heating element configuration:

• tubular heating lamps;
• panel;
• film.

Given the possibility of controlling the temperature of the device:

• with thermostat;
• without control function.

Dozens of models of electric heaters from different manufacturers are on sale. After reviewing and weighing the strengths and weaknesses of each type of energy-saving heaters, you can opt for specific equipment. What unites wall-mounted heating devices is that they do not take up much space, and some of them can also act as an original decor.

The specifics of wall-mounted electric heaters with a thermostat

When choosing wall heaters, you should pay attention to the presence of a thermostat in their design. This device controls the operation of the appliance, saving energy. Due to the fact that the thermostat is equipped with a temperature sensor, it automatically turns on and off the heating depending on the set value. Some devices have a sensitivity threshold that reaches a tenth of a degree.

Some models of heaters are equipped with an on / off timer, which allows you to program the heater to start or end operation. It is possible to set the equipment to turn on when you come home from work or to set a lower power at night and then increase it in the morning. The difference in the cost of devices identical in power with and without a timer is up to 30 USD.

There are two types of thermostats: mechanical and electronic thermostat. If there are frequent voltage drops in the house, it is recommended to use a mechanical option. If the voltage is stable, you can buy a wall-mounted heater with an electronic thermostat. Such heaters will work automatically, without causing trouble to residents.

There are models of heaters not only with thermostats, but also with overheating protection systems, a light indicator and an operating mode switch within several positions. Such equipment will be quite convenient when there is a need to select the power of the heater: for example, in severe frosts, you can select the operating mode at full power or, conversely, when the temperature outside the window is not too low, select a lower degree of intensity.

Functions of Quartz Wall Mounted Energy Saving Heaters for Home

The heating of the room occurs due to the convection of air, which rises at the same time. Thus, due to circulation, after a certain time, the air temperature equalizes. It should be noted that the heating temperature of the convector body is above 60ºС, which makes them completely safe and suitable for placement in children's playrooms.

Wall convectors are very easy to attach to the wall, but they also come with legs, so that if desired, they can be installed on the floor. To achieve the economic effect allow thermostats that carry out the necessary temperature control. Thermoregulators are mechanical or electronic, the latter maintain a given level of heat more accurately.

By design, convector heaters are divided into devices with a closed and open spiral and monoblock. I would like to note that the cost of heaters with an open filament is much cheaper, however, they dry the air in the room. Devices where heating elements are used almost do not change the humidity of the room, but they can burn the dust accumulated on the heating element. It is recommended to clean them from dust from time to time.

For rooms where constant use of convectors is planned, monoblock devices are the most suitable. The heating element in them is reliably protected by a special filler, which creates safe heating. Such devices are distinguished by long-term operation.

Helpful advice! For safe heating, choose models of electric convectors equipped with ionizers and air purifiers.

Ceramic heaters

Ceramic wall heaters are similar in principle to convection heaters, since heating is carried out by convection: warm air rises, and cold air descends for further heating. However, infrared radiation, which forms a ceramic plate, is added to the action of such devices. Their main advantages include:

• efficiency of the equipment;
• safety of use;
• compactness and easy installation;
• silent operation;
• equipment management;
• varied design.

The natural material of the ceramic plates has unique properties that are excellent for heat storage. Ceramics is resistant to temperature changes and does not collapse as a result of such exposure. Having a low coefficient of expansion, good thermal conductivity and resistance to mechanical stress, such a material is the best suited for use in electric heaters.

Ceramic wall heaters have an excellent stylish design and can be made in various colors. Unlike convectors, ceramic plates heat rooms with high ceilings well. The operation of such heaters is not accompanied by noise and high heating of the plates, they do not dry the air and create comfortable soft heat. The disadvantages include only a decent weight of heaters.

All models are supplied with the built-in electronic temperature regulator. Devices made in the form of thin glossy panels can decorate any interior. Ceramic infrared heaters are installed directly under the ceiling. For the convenience of controlling the functioning of such panels, remote controls are attached to them.

Which wall heater to buy: ceramic or convector?

When choosing a wall-mounted heater for the home, it is worth considering a number of factors, including technical characteristics, the efficiency of the device, the availability of additional options, the manufacturer and cost of the equipment. Comparing convection and ceramic heaters, it is worth noting that convectors are ineffective for rooms with high ceilings.

If you plan to use electric heaters on an ongoing basis, then you should choose more powerful models equipped with heat sensors, timers and other functions. This will increase the efficiency of the entire heating system and ensure rational energy consumption. When choosing the latest ceramic plates, it is worth considering that the cost of a 12 sq.m heating panel can be about 5,000 rubles, and maybe even higher, depending on the manufacturer.

If the function of the electric heater will include short-term additional heating, convector models with an open coil can be purchased. They are cheap and can be used for local heating. From the point of view of safety, convector monoblock heaters are in the lead, which can be operated, including in rooms where there are children. The case of the device does not heat up to a high temperature.

In addition to the characteristics and advantages presented by manufacturers and distributors of wall heaters, it is worth asking about customer reviews. A large number of positive ratings for the models of a particular company can serve as a sure guide when choosing a heating device.

Models of wall-mounted infrared heaters for the home

The principle of operation of a wall-mounted infrared heater for the home is identical to solar radiation, when heat rays are absorbed by objects and surfaces, and then transfer heat to the surrounding air. Due to this, on the one hand, certain zones are quickly heated when the device is turned on, and on the other hand, the heat flow is instantly stopped if it is turned off.

Due to the fact that the radiation is not absorbed by the air, all the energy of the device is converted into heat with virtually no loss. It should be noted that at the same time, the level of humidity in the room does not change, and the air does not become dry, and the advantages include absolutely silent operation of the device. By design, infrared heaters can be case, panel, film or lamp.

Flexible wall heaters

One of the thinnest infrared heaters is a flexible wall heater. It is made of two layers of polyester film and a heating element made of thin (about 1.5 mm) carbon fiber. The thickness of such a heating device allows you to twist it into a roll during transportation or storage.

The main advantages of such models are:

• light weight - usually they weigh no more than 1 kg and can be attached to absolutely any surface;
• versatility - the device can be used, including for small bathrooms with a high degree of humidity;
• low energy consumption - the cost of local heating in the range of 3 m is 0.08 rubles. for one hour of work;
• maintaining the natural climatic properties of the room - you do not have to experience discomfort from a lack of oxygen;
• therapeutic effect - the soft heat of the heater has healing properties;
• compactness - almost does not take up space during installation and transportation.

Technical parameters of flexible electric wall heaters: electrical protection class II (DSTU 3135.0-95), operating power - 220V, power consumption - 400 W, and the temperature of the working surface - 75ºС.

Helpful advice!Do not cover the film heater with bedding or other things, this can cause its deformation and failure.

A special place in the "family" of electric film wall heaters is occupied by models made in the form of paintings or panels. Such a design technique makes it possible to purchase a device that will logically fit into the interior of any style. Difficulty will cause only the difficulty of choosing among a huge range of thematic options.

Where to buy film heaters "wall panels"

Heating panels, in addition to the function of heating, carry a decorative component. A variety of plots allows you to choose a "warm" decor for rooms for various purposes. For a child's room, panels depicting favorite characters from fairy tales and cartoons are suitable, for a bedroom - romantic landscapes, a magnificent waterfall will look great in the living room, and for the kitchen, the place is for still life.

It is most convenient to buy a flexible wall heater through an online store. Firstly, there is an opportunity to carefully study the technical parameters, secondly, you can slowly choose the plot of the panel you like, and thirdly, you can compare the price level for heaters depending on the manufacturer. In addition, visiting online distributors, you will always be aware of ongoing promotions and sales.

The main technical characteristics and estimated prices of wall-mounted electric heaters in the form of panels from different manufacturers.

It is worth noting that some manufacturers, when presenting their products, do not exclude the possibility of using film heaters for drying vegetables and fruits, which will greatly help housewives in the kitchen when preparing food. Considering the comfort of transportation, many people take panel heaters with them to their country house in early spring or cool autumn.

How to order and buy a wall-mounted electric heater in the form of a picture

Using energy-saving wall-mounted heaters in the form of a picture in the interior, in addition to economic benefits, you can achieve an excellent aesthetic effect. By placing it near a cozy sofa or easy chair, you can simultaneously warm up on a cold evening and enjoy the beautiful scenery. After turning off the device, objects heated by infrared radiation will give off heat for some time.

By purchasing a wall-mounted film heater-picture, you can solve the issue of “beautiful” heating of a balcony or loggia, veranda or summer kitchen, garage or cottage during the off-season. Light weight, easy to carry and a quick set of working heat (within 30 seconds) will allow you to feel comfortable warmth immediately after connecting the device to the network.

Wall-mounted electric heaters: consumer reviews

When visiting online stores selling wall heaters, before ordering, you should read customer reviews, because this can protect you from buying a device that does not match your room in terms of power or does not have proper overheating protection and can harm the child.

Here are some of them:

“The windows of our apartment face the north side. In severe frosts, central heating is not enough for a comfortable temperature. We decided to purchase a model of a ceramic electric heater NVA. The compact size device turned out to be quite good in terms of power. Perfectly complements the heating of a small bedroom of 15 sq.m. We want to buy this type of heater for the bathroom in the future so that we can quickly dry the laundry.”

Natalia, Tomsk

“I have long wanted to buy a wall heater for the children's room. I liked the Polaris remote control models. The heater with stylish design works silently. The room began to warm up quickly. In addition, there is a built-in timer, thanks to which you can set various operating modes. They were very satisfied."

Svetlana Trofimova, Tambov

“We have a very cozy office, but it is very cold at work in winter. Either the radiators are clogged, or the heating is weak. The whole team looked after a wall-mounted infrared heater in the form of a beautiful painting “Velvet Season”. The workplace quickly heats up within a radius of 4 m, and the beautiful mountain landscape calms and relieves stress. Everyone is happy. Doesn't use much electricity."

Galina, Voronezh

Vadim, Penza

After reviewing the properties and characteristics of modern wall-mounted heaters, as well as carefully studying consumer reviews, you can make the right choice of a device that is suitable for your home.

These are the most popular heating systems today, which work by emitting infrared radiation. According to manufacturers, and even reading customer reviews, it becomes clear that infrared wall-mounted heaters are safe to use, are available with various fastening systems, and are diverse in size and design solutions.

Principle of operation

Infrared heaters work according to a certain mechanism, thanks to which they are able to emit infrared radiation. Such radiation is called nothing more than electromagnetic waves (the spectral region between the radiation of a microwave and the final wave of visible light), capable of generating heat. Heating panels emit infrared rays (thermal waves) that are absorbed by various surfaces of the room (from the ceiling and floor, to furniture and decor items). Then, objects that have received infrared radiation emit heat, which enters the airspace of the room. This method of heating creates a thermal effect that is as close as possible to the natural, occurring in nature (solar energy).

A huge plus of infrared heaters is that, unlike the usual heating systems, heat is released here, which is not absorbed by the air. Like light, infrared rays penetrate all kinds of surfaces, including human skin, from where a feeling of warmth appears.

Infrared rays are able to equalize the average temperature of the air without drying it out, and greatly reduce energy consumption. Such heating is considered much more economical than the one we are used to using (fireplaces, convectors, etc.), user reviews in this direction are only the most positive and pleasant.

Varieties of heaters

Infrared heating systems differ in many respects, one of which is the installation method and the mounting system:

1. Wall heaters
2. Floor heaters
3. Heaters with open and closed heater
4. Window heaters (moldings)

Each of the heating elements is used in certain conditions. For example, if the room is small, with low ceilings, then it is best to choose heaters that emit heat at low temperatures. In a large room, it is more important to use heaters with open heating elements that are capable of generating powerful heat flows.
Infrared heaters can be used as separate elements of heating systems, or in conjunction with any other additional devices (warm skirting boards, ceiling heaters, radiators, etc.). According to customer reviews, wall panels are the most in demand and easy to use, why exactly they are - we will analyze in the next paragraph.

Wall-mounted infrared heating panels

Most often, wall-mounted heating panels are installed on the side of windows (under them), radiant infrared panels are used in heating:

1. Residential premises (apartments, cottages, houses, etc.);
2. Warehouse and production sites;
3. Agricultural premises for a specific purpose (livestock farms, greenhouses, warehouses for the storage of agricultural crops, etc.);
4. Special purpose institutions (schools, hospitals, theaters, etc.).

A particularly important indicator of infrared heating panels is that they are made (mainly) from natural natural materials (glass and film), and the heat obtained through their work is not only absolutely harmless, it can have a beneficial effect on the entire human body.

The undoubted advantage of such heaters is that their heating element does not have a limited service life, which is why they are very durable, and, accordingly, economical.

As for the appearance, here users are offered a huge choice, from classic models, in a modest and seasoned style, to making heaters in various shapes and colors. The latest developments of infrared wall film panels made in the form of paintings began to be in great demand.

Film wall infrared heating panels-paintings

These are some of the newest developments in heaters that convert electrical energy into pleasant heat, close to solar. The design of such a heater is extremely simple - it consists of two films soldered together, the length of which is 1 m, and the width is 0.6 m, they are mounted on the wall.

Thanks to the built-in carbon filament, electricity is converted into infrared radiation (heat). The heater begins to fill the room with heat after its surface warms up (up to 70 degrees on average). The temperature in the room rises due to the fact that the interior items are warming up, and the entire air space of the room in particular. Film infrared panels have remarkable qualities:

1. Easy to use, as they work silently, continuously, without interruption. They are equipped with thermostats that allow you to control voltage drops and turn off the heater in case of overheating. In some models there is protection against moisture, which allows them to be installed even in bathrooms and showers.
2. Affordable and economical, as they consume a minimum of electricity (0.4 kW), and the main heating element has practically no final service life.
3. Good for health, as they do not burn oxygen out of the air. They keep the humidity of the air constant, necessary for human life, without drying it (because the maximum temperature emitted by the canvas cannot exceed 70 degrees).
4. Various designs are made, for example, in the form of paintings, there are various colors, sizes, etc. Most often, the surface of heating panels is made of wood, which gives the device solidity and aesthetics.
5. Safe and harmless to humans, equipped with an electric shock protection system (class 2 according to GOST), exclude the possibility of getting burned.
6. Easy to carry and do not take up much space (weight up to 1 kg), simple installation system, can be folded to move.

Using an infrared heating panel, you provide yourself with comfort, natural warmth and great well-being. At the same time, you get a great addition in the form of a beautiful picture to your design and save your own savings.

Fixing system and correct placement of heating wall panels

When buying infrared panels, you should remember that they must comply with several rules.

1. First, in order for the air to circulate freely throughout the room, there must be some space around the heater.
2. Secondly, they cannot be covered, installed in closed small spaces.
3. And, thirdly, you need to fix the purchased wall heating panels only with those mounting and fasteners that the device itself is equipped with, i.e. they come in a set (set) with panels. They must be placed only in a vertical position, on the walls, and not on the floor or ceiling.

If the device is correctly located and not damaged during installation, then your home will have a constant, pleasant environment for life and the necessary air temperature.

Use and acquisition

As you already understood, infrared heating panels can be used anywhere, whether it is your home or cottage, or office or trade pavilion. But the acquisition of the device must be treated carefully and carefully. On the Internet you can find many sites offering to purchase the latest developments in heating systems. Before deciding to buy - look for reviews of those who already use miracle devices, ask where they purchased them.

Moreover, guided by the reviews of real people, you can choose the model of the infrared wall panel that will suit you best. The same reviews can be useful as tips for operation, installation, etc. It is also important to read all the technical characteristics and design features of your future purchase, because the reviews may not contain accurate data, we are all people - we can all make mistakes. Be careful in your purchases and provide yourself with the most comfortable conditions with infrared heaters.

Infrared electric panel

When choosing heating appliances, many of us prefer to get acquainted with the latest market innovations, which help to appreciate the benefits of comfort and coziness. A similar situation has developed with electric thermal panels. They have already won the love of American and European buyers, and now they have appeared on the Russian market.

There are several types of such devices. These are design radiators and infrared installations. How do they differ from simple appliances, where are they best used, and what features and benefits do they have? All this in the article.

Infrared heating devices

The purpose of infrared panels is the main or additional heating of residential, administrative, children's and commercial institutions. What are these devices?

This is an ordinary drywall sheet, on the back of which there are several layers of electrical insulation. A carbon thread is laid on top of them. It also acts as a heater. The heating element has additional protection. A decorative protective layer of polymers is laid on top of it. Infrared thermal panels are connected to a conventional outlet with a voltage of 220 V.

What other technical features do the described devices have? The main one is the principle of space heating. Unlike convectors, infrared thermal panels emit waves that heat not the air in the room, but the objects in it. The heat produced can be compared to the warmth of a night fire, a wood-burning fireplace, a Russian stove, or the rays of the sun..

What are the benefits of this heating option?

• Firstly, with the help of it, it is possible to more rationally distribute heat flows throughout the room, while saving on electricity.
• Secondly, infrared electric heaters do not dry the air. It maintains the necessary moisture threshold, so that a person feels more comfortable, and there is no feeling of stuffiness.
• Thirdly, it is possible to minimize the occurrence of convection currents. Dust does not rise from the floor, its particles do not burn, so there is no characteristic smell in the room. This circumstance completely eliminates the appearance of drafts.

But the most important advantage of thermal panels is the creation of a special comfortable atmosphere in the cold season. Its basis is a temperature close to the temperature of the human body.

Energy Saving Technologies

Modern technologies provide high energy savings. Due to what is this happening? Such devices are connected to an automatic regulator, which allows you to control the microclimate in a separate room.

The system equalizes the air temperature at floor and ceiling level. The objects in the room gradually accumulate heat and only then give its excess to the space. Thanks to this, it is possible to warm up large rooms very quickly, creating warmth that is comfortable for a person. At the same time, energy savings are at least 40%.

Wide design possibilities

Heater with design

The use of the described devices makes it possible to completely abandon complex communication systems consisting of radiators and main pipes. They are used in the installation of traditional water heating wiring. Simple electrical panels can be installed on any horizontal surface. And not only on the walls, but also on the ceilings, where heating installations also demonstrate their effectiveness. At the same time, the quality of their work does not suffer in any way. The presence of a thermostat simplifies the management and operation of electric infrared panels.

Note! The base of drywall and the heating temperature of the slate circuit, which can only heat up to a maximum of 50 degrees, allows, if necessary, to additionally decorate the surface of the described devices. On them you can glue wallpaper, lay tiles and other decorative finishing materials.

Numerous studies have shown that infrared radiation is completely safe for human health. Its range corresponds to the range of thermal radiation of the human body and is 5-20 microns. Therefore, such heating is comfortably perceived by the human body. It has been noticed that under the influence of long waves blood circulation, muscle nutrition and oxygen supply to tissues improve. This improves well-being, and strengthens the immune system.

Due to this effect, infrared radiation is widely used today in physiotherapy. Namely, in complexes that make it possible to relax and get rid of the consequences of constant stress.

Note! When using infrared heating panels, it is possible to completely get rid of drafts, and the air in the room does not lose its humidity and always remains fresh. This is good for children's health. They are less likely to get colds, and allergy sufferers do not experience the discomfort associated with the appearance of dangerous reactions.

Panel security

Infrared thermal panels are safe to use. And all because they are made from environmentally friendly materials. In addition, drywall does not burn and does not emit toxic substances when heated. Manufacturers claim that their products can be used as unsupervised main heating.

The simplicity of the design does not beg for its effectiveness. The service life of the devices is practically unlimited. Indeed, in the production of electrical panels, only moisture-resistant drywall and a heating element that creates a low temperature are used. Due to this, it cannot burn out like an electric heating element.

Where can electric panels be used?

Infrared thermal panels have a wide range of applications. And all because they are not inferior either in functionality or efficiency to convectors and radiators. At the same time, their cost is affordable, and you can install thermal panels yourself, without resorting to the help of professional craftsmen.

In a city apartment with central heating, heating panels allow you to survive the bad weather in the off-season, abandoning oil radiators and other electrical installations. In order to appreciate the advantages of the described devices, it is enough to install thermal panels in the apartment, the total power of which is only 50% of the calculated power. By the way, the latter depends on the volume of the room.

In a country house, infrared panels can easily provide basic heating, but only where there are no interruptions in the supply of electricity. Another important condition is the presence of a serviceable and powerful wiring. It is advisable to install a separate cable before mounting the panels, the power of which is enough to connect new generation electrical appliances.

Often, someone who lives outside the city permanently prefers to use solid fuel or gas boilers for reliability, but at the same time, in addition to them, mount electric infrared panels on the walls as a backup. This option allows you to organize some autonomy and leave the house without fear of freezing in the cold due to the inability to fill the solid fuel boiler again.

The built-in thermostat allows you to adjust the temperature in the range from 5 to 40 degrees. Thermal panels do not heat up more strongly, so they can be installed in children's rooms without fear that children will be injured from touching a hot surface.

How thermal panels are mounted and transported

Installation in the house

What dimensions can thermal panels have? They can match the dimensions of drywall sheets. Therefore, if drywall is used when decorating rooms, you can immediately take care of both the heating of the room and its design.

Conventional thermal panels are attached in the same way as drywall sheets to metal profiles. Their design is such that both open and hidden installation can be performed. The main thing is to correctly bring out and connect electrical outlets. A special hole is provided for the output of contacts.

As a rule, bends are made and laid in the cable channel. It simultaneously provides open access to them and hides them from prying eyes.

Note! The back side of the panels must be insulated using a layer of insulation. Manufacturers pack thermal infrared panels in special packaging, which guarantees the safety of the installation during transportation.

Available options

On sale today you can find several options for thermal infrared panels:

1. Wall models.
2. storage devices.
3. Window thermal panels.
4. Ceiling, made in the style of "amstrong".
5. Ceiling hemming electrical panels.

The name is based on the principle of using heating systems. On sale you can also find electrical panels, the front side of which resembles volcanic lava or natural stone granules. Domestic manufacturers produce devices that look like paintings, complex art objects, unusual decorative panels that fit perfectly into the concepts of modern styles.

Existing Alternatives

Electric convector EVUT ROSS

Not everyone today decides to use infrared panels. As a simpler and more familiar alternative, electric and water thermal panels can be used.

The former produce heat by converting electricity. Their use is appropriate when it is not possible to bring pipes with a coolant to a separate room. Different power, different sizes, different materials used in the manufacture - the choice is huge. Therefore, it will be easy to choose something specific for yourself.

There are also electric panels on sale, which are a "symbiosis" of a radiator and a convector. They are usually equipped with two heating elements, one of which creates infrared heat and the other provides convection currents.

Water thermal panels are ordinary panel radiators connected to a general heating system or to a DHW system. As the most popular device, water heated towel rails can be cited as an example. They are very easy to install and "live" in autonomous systems. In central heating systems, they are vulnerable. Very often there is a breakdown of water panels due to the poor quality of the coolant, as well as due to surges in its pressure.

But the service life can be increased by connecting an adapter - an intermediate heat exchanger. It is connected to the panel in parallel.

Conclusion

New thermal panels help to efficiently heat rooms due to radiant heat radiation. It does not heat the air in the room, but objects. They accumulate heat and give it gradually to the space, creating a favorable microclimate. The thermostat installed on the devices allows you to accurately maintain the set parameters and ensures the safety of the operation of the described devices.

Ceramic heating panels are a modern alternative to classic radiators. Heat transfer is carried out using electricity or water, and the panel itself can be located behind the false ceiling, above and on the walls.

Device

The device is quite complex. The heating device consists of several layers of innovative materials:

Principle of operation

Equipment of this type emits two types of energy: radiation and convection. Most importantly, the ceramic heater emits infrared rays that heat the objects that surround the panel. This is the most efficient heating system.

Varieties of panel heating

Panel heating refers to various types of systems. They are united by a common feature - heating of the surfaces of the room and the absence of radiators. Depending on the type of coolant, electric and water heating are distinguished.

Water

Water panel heating is a system of pipelines with hot water under the wall or floor covering. Most often, such a system is used for floors than for walls.

Thanks to the warm floor, a person feels comfortable even in the coldest weather. It is pleasant to walk on the floor, its installation is carried out over the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room, so there are no warm and cold zones. At the same time, its temperature should not be more than 30 ºC, otherwise it will be inconvenient to walk on it.

The disadvantages of this system include the difficulties of installation - this procedure requires the dismantling of the old screed, laying pipelines and an insulating layer. If any malfunctions occur, such a system is very difficult to repair, since it is necessary to remove the screed and floor covering.

Electrical

Currently, panel radiant heating is gaining more and more popularity - this is an improved heat distribution scheme. If a classic radiator heats the air, the heat of which is transferred to surrounding objects, then infrared ceramic panels give off heat to objects that carry out its further transfer.

In most cases, the following heating devices are used:

1. STEP panels are one of the most economical types of heating devices. Their body is made of a galvanized metal box, inside of which there is a reflective heat-insulating layer and a powerful heating element. Radiation from the device heats objects that are in the room. It can be used in premises of any purpose, as it is completely safe.
2. Ceramic panels combining an infrared heater and a convector. The front panel is made of glass-ceramic, with low power consumption, the heating element has a high heat transfer coefficient. On the back side, a heat-accumulating coating is provided that provides natural convection.
3. EINT panels are infrared long-wave heaters. There are wall, floor and ceiling panels, they can be installed in private houses, apartments and offices. They are safe and reliable, do not create fire hazards and do not dry the air.

Advantages and features of ceramic panels

Saving

Ceramic panels can completely replace radiators, the heat from them will be more than enough for a comfortable feeling. Due to the high heat transfer coefficient, the saving of electrical energy of these heating devices can reach about 30%. Electricity consumption per 1 m 2 reaches only 50 W, while the consumption of a conventional radiator is more than 100 W per 1 m 2. The consumption is reduced due to the convection type of heating and the ceramic element. In addition, in order to avoid overpayments for excess heat, it is recommended to install thermostats on ceramic heating panels.

Safety

When choosing a heater, safety is an important factor, especially if there are small children in the house. Ceramic panels do not heat up, as they consist of environmentally friendly materials. Also, the design does not provide for the presence of protruding parts.

Panels are not afraid of penetration of dirt, dust and water. Therefore, these heaters can be installed in rooms with a swimming pool, bathrooms, etc. Ceramic heating panels are not afraid of overloads in the electrical network.

Environmental friendliness

In this heater, the heating element does not come into contact with air, so oxygen is not burned and the air does not dry out. This is especially true for those who suffer from respiratory diseases.

Ceramic panels (consumer reviews confirm this) do not emit harmful substances, do not emit unpleasant odors and are completely silent. Such equipment can be installed in children's rooms.

Durability

Durability is the parameter that every consumer would like. Ceramic heating panels are designed in such a way that the resource of consumption increases several times, since the equipment is insured against accidental damage, it is not afraid of external influences.

Design

The design allows them to fit perfectly into any interior. Discreet colors, laconic lines make them universal, this equipment does not violate the aesthetics of the room.

Ceramic heating panels: expert reviews

As mentioned above, space heating occurs due to soft heat flows. Doctors say that this is an ideal state in which the human body feels comfortable.

Durability, reliability, moisture resistance, explosion safety and fire safety make it possible to use these heating devices in service and residential premises for any purpose as an auxiliary or main house, apartments, modules and trade pavilions, as well as public and municipal facilities).

By installing ceramic heating panels (reviews confirm this) in preschool and children's institutions (bedrooms, playrooms), you significantly increase the comfort of children's stay, and also reduce the risk of colds. To provide additional safety for children, these devices are equipped with protective screens. The absence of protruding parts and low surface temperature make ceramic heating panels absolutely safe for children of any age.

The absence of cavities and gaps prevents the accumulation of dirt and dust, which ensures convenience and ease of maintenance of this type of heaters. And most importantly, there is no longer a need to periodically paint radiators. It is enough to wipe the surface with a cotton cloth and detergent that does not contain abrasive components.

Many consumers noted the ease of installation of these heaters. In a room with an area of ​​about 60 m2, this heating system can be installed in one working day. Also, the installation can be carried out in stages, which is especially convenient for large areas.
