Condensing boiler: which model is the right one?

The boiler therefore plays a fundamental role within the home as it guarantees domestic comfort and for this reason it is necessary to choose the right solution considering both the characteristics of the home and the needs of the family unit.

The boiler uses fuel taken from the network (methane or LPG) and uses its combustion to heat the system water which then feeds the heating system or domestic hot water.

Condensing boilers: the best brands on the market

On Acquaclick you can find the condensing boilers of the best brands on the Italian and European market: Bosch, Vaillant, Immergas, Beretta, Ariston and Sime.

Modern condensing boilers have greater energy efficiency and are able to guarantee at the same time considerable energy and, consequently, economic savings.

The condensing boiler, in fact, recovers and exploits the heat contained in the fumes produced during the combustion phase: the fumes flow through special heat exchangers in which they are cooled below the condensing temperature and subsequently the water vapor contained in the exhaust gases it condenses and thermal energy is released.

In fact, compared to traditional boilers, where the exhaust fumes are simply dispersed, the condensing boiler uses an extra heat resource with consequent fuel savings.

Which condensing boiler to choose?

There are numerous types of condensing boilers and they can be wall-mounted or floor-standing or indoor or outdoor. Let's see what are the advantages of the various types of boilers available on the market.

First of all, to choose a boiler, it is necessary to verify the specific needs of the home and the family unit.

For example, if there is already a water heater for domestic hot water in the house and it is therefore only necessary to heat the rooms, it will be advisable to choose a boiler for heating only.

Otherwise, it will be advisable to choose a boiler that also has instant hot water production, also sized on the basis of the size of the house and the number of bathrooms.

In any case, the greater the size of the home and the number of rooms to be heated, the greater the power of the boiler must be: residential boilers normally do not exceed 35 kW of power.

Another factor to take into consideration is the place of installation: it is possible to install (depending on the model) the boiler inside or outside the home also on the basis of the regional and municipal regulations of the place of installation. In case of boiler replacement, the same installation position of the pre-existing boiler tends to be maintained.

Furthermore, a boiler can be positioned inside or outside the home: boilers installed inside are protected from bad weather and this preserves their duration and performance over time as well as the fact that the heat produced is partially dispersed inside the room where the boiler is installed, improving efficiency and reducing consumption.

The external boiler is instead an excellent solution for those who live in small-sized homes and want to optimize the internal space. The outdoor boilers are specially designed to resist atmospheric agents and ensure correct operation over time.

Built-in models are also available which are installed in special retractable metal cabinets, often equipped with suitable anti-freeze systems.

Finally, it is of fundamental importance to consider the energy class of the boiler: the higher the energy class, the higher the level of efficiency of the boiler and the greater the energy savings.
