Energy saving and environmental protection oblige, when buying a new heating system, the key words are performance and ecology. But which type of boiler best meets these requirements?
Although many of us are still enjoying the good weather carefree, the summer season will soon be coming to an end. All the more reason to take care of your heating now. What's more, the purchase of this equipment can weigh very heavily on household expenses. Hence the obligation to take the time to think carefully before deciding on a particular model, or even seek advice from a professional heating engineer.
For my part, as I already have a contract with a domestic fuel oil distributor, I simply replaced my old standard boiler with a condensing model. The reason ? Energy-efficient, this heating system offers a very good yield/performance ratio. Moreover, it was the technicians from Qualifioul who took care of the installation of my new boiler. Indeed, I have remained faithful to this service provider for years, because the company does not only take care of the fuel supply. The company also takes care of boiler maintenance.
Along with domestic fuel oil, the gas boiler is undoubtedly one of the heating methods most used by the French. My old home was equipped with it and I remember very well that in addition to heating the house, it also produced hot water. In addition, I also used the gas for cooking. The only downside, as the boiler was of the standard type, the device was very fuel-intensive.
So, if your preferences go to the gas boiler, prefer the latest generation models such as those with condensation for example. Installed in a new building, this equipment perfectly meets the standards imposed by the 2012 Thermal Regulation. Here the only rule to observe when buying this type of heating is to opt for a boiler running on natural gas. For good reason, with propane, the installation of a storage tank is essential.
I will end my article on boilers with electric models. Personally, even if this mode of heating is currently very popular, I'm not really a fan. My disinterestedness is justified by its high electricity consumption, especially if the electric boiler serves both as central heating and as a domestic water heater. Thus, the larger the surface, the more the use of this device will hurt the wallet.
As for me, I would never equip my apartment with it except for a few extra heaters. However, it is nevertheless clear that the electric boiler is the most respectful of the environment, since with this device the CO2 emission is almost zero. In addition, sold at affordable prices, this equipment is immediately functional and does not require any particular installation. Make your choice between the wall-mounted and the electric floor-standing boiler.
