20 best gas water heaters

Geysers solve the common problem of lack of hot water in a house or apartment. These portable water heaters with the minimum consumption of gas fuel are able to provide residential premises of considerable area with hot water. The main advantages of such devices are considered small dimensions, the possibility of heating a large amount of water, the relative cheapness and maintainability. Among the shortcomings - the need for communications to connect speakers. At a minimum, it should be a gas pipe or a cylinder, which far from everyone has the opportunity to install, and for models with electronic control or electric ignition, you need to be powered from the network. In addition, we are dealing with products of combustion, so the installation of the chimney and ventilation are obligatory, which complicates the installation of the device.

To choose a gas column with optimal parameters, you should pay attention to the following points.

• Depending on the capacity of the device can heat a certain amount of water. For maintenance of one circuit it will be enough to buy a gas column with a power of up to 19 kW. If it is required to heat the water intake at two points, then the model should have a par value of 20-28 kW. The most powerful water heaters (more than 29 kW) are able to provide residents of a house or apartment with hot water in a large volume.
• In case of problems with the supply of gas or water, the exit from the situation will be the acquisition of cumulative gas water heaters. They are equipped with tanks in which the stock of warm water is stored. Due to the thermal insulation of the tank it is possible to reduce gas consumption.
• For the safe operation of modern speakers manufacturers equip devices with various degrees of protection. The presence of a water flow sensor prevents the opening of the gas valve in the absence of a duct. Thermal combustion sensor blocks the flow of gas when the wick is attenuated. The thrust sensor stops the flow of gas when the draft in the chimney drops to a dangerous level. A useful option is the water overheating sensor, it not only prevents the formation of boiling water, but also reduces the amount of scale in the heat exchanger.
• Differently controlled geysers. Most often, models of the middle price segment have two control options. One of them regulates the pressure of the water, and the other is responsible for the intensity of the burning gas.
• An important parameter in water heaters is the type of combustion chamber and exhaust system.In open chambers, gas burns in the upper part of the column, from where it is immediately removed into the chimney. A bit more expensive, but sealed closed-type combustion chambers look safer. Air supply, as well as the removal of exhaust gases in such devices is forced. In addition to the fans, coaxial chimneys are used in such models.

The most popular among customers are heaters from Bosch (Bosch), Ariston and Mora (Mora). These European manufacturers are renowned for their reliability and performance. Domestic column Neva - excellent value for money. In the ranking, we compare the best gas water heaters in different price categories.

The best inexpensive gas water heaters: a budget of up to 10,000 rubles.
