Why is gas heating a good solution?

Condensing boilers are compact heating devices that provide not only thermal comfort in rooms, but also hot water. Due to their small size , they are perfect for houses and apartments with limited space . Moreover, gas heating is an ecological solution - compared to e.g. coal stoves, it generates less exhaust gases, limiting the negative impact on the environment.

When choosing a condensing boiler for an apartment or house, it is worth paying attention to the differences between a single-function and a dual-function model . The former supports the operation of the central heating installation, while the latter works independently, not only heating rooms, but also preparing domestic hot water. It has a built-in tank, which is missing in single-function boilers.

Combination boilers are easy to install, relatively inexpensive and can be hung anywhere in the kitchen or bathroom. Modern models of this type are also characterized by a reduced risk of contamination, a minimized number of connections, intuitive operation and attractive design. Therefore, they are an unrivaled solution for small apartments.

A gas heating system requires an efficient boiler that will provide as much heat as possible by burning the smallest amount of fuel. This is how condensing furnaces work, using condensed water vapor to heat water . Models of this type are characterized by significantly higher efficiency than traditional boilers with an open or closed combustion chamber.

The choice between a single- and dual-function boiler should depend primarily on the size of the house for which the device will be intended. The single-function model does not have a built-in heat exchanger, so it requires connecting a large capacity heater. The dual-function variant is equipped with an integrated hot water tank, so the entire installation takes up much less space. Importantly, it will only work in small apartments because it requires close proximity to hot water consumption points (maximum 5 meters of pipe to the farthest point).

An important criterion for selecting a condensing boiler will also be the method of its installation. Devices available on the market are divided into hanging and standing . When considering which stove to install in a small apartment, it is worth choosing a hanging model. It takes up much less space and is easier to integrate into the surroundings. Freestanding variants require more space, are heavier and more difficult to install.

When choosing a boiler for your apartment, you should, of course, take a closer look at the manufacturer and the quality of its devices. The best models will be made of durable materials and covered by long-term warranties.
