Gas boilers are one of the economical and affordable heating appliances for creating autonomous heating networks. But the diversity of manufacturers often becomes a problem when choosing. Specialists know that there is a trademark that characterizes a wide range and reliability of products. And these are modern gas heating boilers for baxi: wall and floor, reviews and specifications will help determine the best type of equipment.
About BAXI
The history of the company began back in 1924, when enamelware manufacturing was organized in the Italian city of Bassano. After the expansion, the production of radiators and steel baths was mastered. The first presentation of Baxi gas equipment models took place in 1950. Since then, the Baksi boilers for heating have become an example of quality and reliability for many generations.
What is the peculiarity of the company's products? First of all, a professional approach and a constant analysis of consumer interests. Given the diverse operating conditions and equipment performance requirements, unique gas-fired boilers for heating baxi have been developed. They can be divided into the following groups:
- Wall mounted. The most popular category, which includes boilers with a closed gas burner and two exhaust options, is natural and forced circulation. With their help, you can organize an effective heating system and hot water supply;
- Floor. Most models are designed for heating only. But they are characterized by high power indicators - up to 108 kW.
Wall-mounted gas boilers for heating baksi or floor are not the only ones in the range - in addition to them, the company offers electric and solid fuel models. Of particular interest to consumers are modern modifications of gas boilers - condensing ones. They fully use all the energy for heating the coolant, including the high temperature of water condensate.
Before connecting the Baksi boiler to the heating system, take the Technical Condition (TU) from the management company. Based on these data, you can choose a suitable model.
Wall mounted boilers BAXI
The best option for organizing autonomous heating in a private house or apartment is gas double-circuit wall heating boilers, reviews of which can become one of the tools for analyzing the company's product range. They are one of the most popular, as they have several series, each of which is characterized by special technical characteristics.
One of the determining parameters of heating equipment is its power, and for gas boilers - the type of burner (closed or atmospheric) as well as the method for removing carbon monoxide. For apartments and houses without a boiler room, it is best to use forced draft models.
For boilers with forced draft, you need to purchase a special coaxial pipe, which performs the functions of removing carbon monoxide and through it air flows from the street to the burner.
Boiler series Main BAXI
If you need a heating system with a baxi boiler with a minimum installation size - the Main series will be the best option. Dimensions in this case are only 730 * 400 * 299 mm.
Characteristic is a heat exchanger, which is a bithermic design. On the surface of the pipe using spot welding, copper plates are installed. Thus, the manufacturer achieved the maximum efficiency indicator. The design has an expansion tank and a circulation pump. Therefore, connecting the Baksi boiler to the heating system does not present any special difficulties.But you need to remember that this work should only be done by specialists with the appropriate permission.
In addition to the features of the Baksi boilers for heating the Main series include the following:
- Modulation of the burner flame occurs continuously, both for heating and for domestic hot water;
- Airflow regulation with patented technology;
- Two temperature operating modes of heating - 80-35 and 45-35 ° С. The latter is intended for underfloor heating systems;
- Filtration of water coming from the central water supply system.
For gas boilers heating baxi Main series at an affordable cost. The simplest 18 kW model with Main Four 18 F will cost 44,000 rubles.
Boiler series Luna BAXI
One of the drawbacks of gas boilers for heating wall-mounted double-circuit baksi in the reviews is their sensitivity to the differential pressure of the main gas and voltage surges. Therefore, the company’s forces developed the Luna series adapted for Russian operating conditions.
Especially popular is the Luna 3 Comfort model. This is a dual-circuit boiler with a convenient LCD display and functional control. It will work even if the gas pressure drops to 5 mbar. It should also be noted the special treatment of a primary heat exchanger made of copper. The protective layer reduces the likelihood of corrosion on its surface.
The boiler power directly depends on the area of the room - for 10 m² 1 kW of heat energy will be required.
Other advantages of Luna wall mounted gas heating boilers are:
- Smooth electronic ignition;
- It is possible to connect a storage boiler;
- Weekly programming of heating modes;
- Normal operation in the voltage range of 170 to 250 V.
It is noteworthy that the arrangement of a heating system with a Luna Baksi boiler will not differ much in cost from the Main series. The price of 24 kW models will be 66,000 rubles. And this is taking into account additional features and increased reliability of the design.
In addition to these boilers, the line of Fourtech and Eco Compact models can be distinguished. They have the same layout features, but differ slightly in functionality.
| Model | power, kWt | price, rub. |
| MAIN Four 24 | 24 | 43000 |
| ECO Compact 1.24 F | 24 | 43500 |
| LUNA-3 240 Fi | 24 | 67500 |
| FOURTECH 24 F | 24 | 49700 |
To properly connect the Baksi boiler to the heating system, you first need to determine its location. Most often it is a kitchen. Then, using the template supplied with the equipment, fasteners are installed. The boiler must only be connected to the gas line by specialists from the management company.
The wall must be treated with refractory material before installation. This is one of the main conditions for the correct installation of gas equipment.
Floor boilers BAXI
For large networks, gas-fired boilers for heating Baxi Slim are recommended. These models are designed only for heating, but despite this they have several important advantages.
First of all, adaptation to extreme operating conditions. Most often, in gas heating boilers, including the baxi, the heat exchanger fails. This is due to two mutually exclusive requirements - reliability and a high rate of heat transfer. In gas heating boilers, Baxi Slim heat exchanger is made of cast iron. Despite a decrease in heat transfer and, as a result, efficiency, the entire structure has a long, non-repairable service life.
Unlike wall-mounted gas boilers for heating baxi, in floor models there is the possibility of a reversible connection to the gas main and heating system - from the right or left side panel of the device:
- Two-stage burner with integrated thermostat for control;
- Possibility of mounting weather-sensitive sensors and automation cascades;
- A set of adapters for functioning on liquefied gas.
All gas boilers for heating the Baksi Slim series have a complete expansion tank with a circulation pump.
| Model | power, kWt | price, rub. |
| SLIM 1.230 i | 30 | 95000 |
| SLIM EF 1.61 | 61 | 124000 |
| SLIM HP 1.110 | 108 | 285500 |
When choosing gas heating boilers, Baxi is recommended to pay attention to the reviews. But in this case, one must take into account their subjectivity:
- After much thought, we decided to purchase a Baxi Comfort 24 kW boiler. He served faithfully for 3 years, but after a minor breakdown they ran into a problem - there are no spare parts available. I had to wait 2 weeks until they were delivered to a service center;
- We replaced the old boiler with the new model ECO Compact 1.24 F. Internally, we were ready for constant pressure transfers to the hot water supply, as this should be common to all gas boilers. But what was our surprise when he worked 2 seasons without any failures. Reliable equipment - I recommend.
It must be remembered that for the installation of gas boilers Baxi Slim in the heating system, it is necessary to equip the boiler room. Otherwise, permission from the Management Company to connect to the gas pipeline will not be obtained.
