15 best convectors

Convector - heating installation, which is one of the derivatives of the heater, whose work is based on the phenomenon of convection. The essence of this process is expressed in the fact that warm air flows, having a smaller mass, rise upwards, providing continuous circulation indoors and, as a result, heating it. The cold air is sucked into the installation body using a special intake (fan), under the action of which it continues to flow further through the heating element (gas or electric) and exit through the structural holes. This process is continuous cyclical.

To date, the development of convectors is one of the activities of large companies that supply the market with various heating systems and elements. In this regard, in the segment there was a situation of an oversupply of sold models, of which it is very difficult to select something really worthwhile. Therefore, having carefully researched the market, we have prepared for you a rating of the best convectors, marked by consumers and experts.

Top gas convectors

The principle of operation of gas convectors is practically no different from the operation of electric models, only the air heater is a burner. For the operation of such an apparatus, it is required to supply gas and organize the removal of combustion products. However, these devices are much more powerful than their electrical counterparts and can heat much larger rooms.

4 Bartolini Calorama SSI 4500

Compact convector gas type, designed taking into account the design subtleties for any interior. With its high efficiency, Bartolini Calorama SSI 4500 produces 4200 W of thermal energy, which is quite enough for effective heating of air in rooms up to 45 square meters.

The convector works only from the main natural gas, therefore, it will be inappropriate to use it in non-gasified areas (or expensive because of the system and retrofit of the system). Also noteworthy is the fact that the model is completely independent of electricity, which consumers like very much: in this case, the ignition of the burner is caused by the use of a piezoelectric element. In general, Bartolini Calorama SSI 4500 is in quite good demand in Russia, mainly from owners of private houses in the city.

3 Gorenje GH 6201

Gas convector is not the most aesthetic appearance, the installation of which is advisable in the conditions of heating the vast areas of a private house or cottage. Possessing an efficiency of around 87%, the Gorenje GH 6201 provides up to 4.2 kW of thermal energy, discharged by convection currents.

It is clear that to ensure stable operation and minimize the risk of accidents, the convector must have a number of protective and structural features. And, as stated by user reviews, in Gorenje GH 6201 these measures and conventions are fully respected. The heater control panel has a thermostat, a start button, electric ignition and a thermoelectric type fuse (to shut off the gas and automatically turn off the convector if the burner is extinguished). Like all other gas installations, this model can be installed exclusively on the walls, and, preferably, on the carrier or reinforced. The model is worth a lot, but with respect to other applicants, the category most closely meets the optimal price-quality ratio.
