Buying and selecting a boiler is a responsible decision that requires knowledge and careful consideration. Even after reading dozens of articles, some homeowners manage to make common mistakes.

The main challenge lies in the incorrect calculation of the appliance's capacity. Society often relies on the formula of 1 kW per 10 square meters of living space, but it is not entirely accurate. If we take into account the thermal insulation of the walls in an apartment, a regular electric boiler will suffice even for 200 square meters. However, if you place this model in a private house, it won't be enough even for 180 square meters. What's the reason behind this?

Not everyone mentions that most walls in multi-story buildings are shielded from external influences, and additional heat is obtained from neighbors, as funny as it may sound. Therefore, it is important to carefully calculate each room separately for its required capacity. Then calculate the arithmetic mean and go to the store to order the necessary model.

It is also crucial to choose the right pipes. Plastic is durable, safe, and relatively inexpensive. It is difficult to damage and malfunction compared to metal radiators where individual parts are welded.
