Boilers are becoming increasingly popular every year due to their unique functionality. A wide variety of modifications allows you to buy them both for an apartment and a private house. When choosing a water heater, you need to choose the right place where the boiler will be installed because the further operation of the device depends on this.
Today, most water heating equipment manufacturers at the production stage focus on compactness and design. At the same time, the functional side can satisfy the needs of even the most fastidious manufacturers. Against this background, the boiler can be installed in any room convenient for you, including hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms. However, experts recommend placing dimensional modifications in separate rooms such as basements or storerooms. This will significantly save space in the living area, without disturbing the interior design with bulky details.
Choosing a place to install the boiler
If previously the installation of boilers was only possible in bathrooms due to the rapid loss of thermal properties in conditions of long pipe laying, now everything is different. Modern models are not tied to location. The only thing you need to take into account is the dimensions of a specific modification, as well as the location of communication sources. Based on this, boilers are produced in different types:
- Wall-mounted – a familiar classic, which is attached to the wall with a special fastener and bolts. They are most often used in apartments, but they also perform well in private homes.
- Floor-standing – bulky models with high capacity. They are most often installed in basements or storage rooms, without taking up living space. Due to their great capabilities, they are rarely used in apartments, but more often in private houses.
- Vertical – a subtype of wall-mounted models, which is widely used in bathrooms and kitchens. Due to their compactness, boilers do not take up much space, while maintaining their capacity and functionality.
- Horizontal is another subtype of wall-mounted models, which are most often installed under the ceiling in the corridor or hallway. Due to the specific installation, the free space in the room is rationally used, and the equipment itself does not interfere during operation.
The main criterion for choosing a place to install a boiler is a solid foundation. If you plan to install such equipment on a wall, it must be a solid and durable wall. Especially when it comes to bulky modifications with large capacity. At the same time, smart boilers can be installed on ordinary walls, following all the manufacturer’s recommendations. If you doubt that the chosen location will support the weight of the water heater, choose another one or consider alternative placement options. In addition, when choosing a location, it is worth considering the convenience of further maintenance. To clean the boiler, it will need to be removed and it is recommended to do this once a season. Convenient access to the water heater will help avoid additional maintenance costs.
Many manufacturers produce an entire series of limited-edition boilers, which differ from classic modifications in their even greater compactness and exclusive design. Such solutions are perfect for smart apartments or premises with designer interiors. At the same time, their boiler installation is possible under the sink, in a small niche, or a prominent place in the apartment. Due to unusual solutions, boilers in the interior look beautiful and complement the overall interior picture. If you strive to maintain aesthetics in the room, experts recommend choosing a suitable visualization of water heating equipment in advance. This way you will significantly narrow the circle of applicants and be able to buy a suitable model.
