Reliable heating and providing a private house with hot water is an urgent problem. It is important to purchase high-quality equipment, working with which would be as easy and comfortable as possible. The double-circuit gas boiler Baxi is very popular among buyers.
Advantages and disadvantages of Baksi boilers
The double-circuit boiler allows you to solve the problem of autonomous heating and hot water supply. It is enough to have electricity to start a pump that lifts water from a well or well. The Baxi dual-circuit boiler, which runs on different types of fuel, will heat it to the desired temperature and heat all rooms with high quality.
Advantages of equipment:
- Conforms to all safety standards.
- He quickly warms up the room thanks to a fairly high power.
- The power and control of heating the room are automatically regulated - the user only needs to configure the required parameters once.
- Small dimensions and weight greatly simplify the installation process and save on usable floor space.
- Dealing with the device is as simple as possible.
The only drawback is the rather high cost. However, an Italian heating boiler made with modern equipment from quality materials cannot be cheap. The user receives first-class equipment, which is guaranteed to last for many years and not cause problems.
Types of double-circuit boilers
Boiler models differ in the type of fuel used and in the installation method.
Wall mounted
The Baksi wall-mounted gas dual-circuit boiler is the most compact model. This does not prevent him from being quite powerful - he is able to heat even a spacious private house.
Many users prefer mounted boilers, as they are easily integrated into the design of the kitchen or bathroom. They do not occupy a useful area and do not spoil the interior of the premises, which is an additional advantage.
Floor
Most often, floor standing boilers have large dimensions and weight. This is fully offset by the large capacity that is enough to provide residents with a huge amount of hot water and high-quality heating of a large mansion. It can be used in conjunction with underfloor heating to evenly distribute heat.
Baksi gas boilers do not produce any waste at all - you do not have to clean the furnace from ash, which greatly simplifies the maintenance process.
Diesel
Diesel boilers are not very popular, as fuel has risen sharply in price and continues to grow. Gas is more attractive from an economic point of view. But liquid fuel equipment has certain advantages. Diesel fuel can be stored in any tightly closed containers - from barrels to tanks.
The advantage is the small amount of soot - it is enough to clean the furnace several times a month, since the fuel burns out almost without waste. In this case, you need to take care of a sufficiently long chimney that displays combustion products at a great distance from the house and residential premises.
Solid fuel
Solid fuel boilers are used in places where it is not possible to connect to the gas pipeline.
A serious plus is the versatility of equipment. Boilers work with different types of fuel:
- coal,
- firewood,
- peat,
- coke,
- special granules.
For small villages, as well as seasonal buildings, a solid fuel boiler may be a good choice.
TT boilers are not too convenient in the device - you have to regularly reload fuel manually. The furnace should be cleaned much more often than in diesel engines - several times a week, and when using coal - daily.
Features of choosing a Baksi boiler
When choosing a suitable boiler, you need to pay attention to its power. Most models from Baksi have an indicator of 10 to 40 kW. To calculate the optimal power, the following factors must be considered:
- area of heated rooms;
- minimum outdoor temperature;
- size and number of windows;
- quality of building insulation.
You should also weigh in advance all the pros and cons of different types of fuel and determine which one is most suitable for a particular user.
Common problems
Even the highest quality equipment can fail. Often the breakdowns are not too serious and arise due to errors during installation and configuration. In most cases, they can be solved by carefully reading the instructions.
More serious faults:
- ignition failure
- the burner stops turning on
- claps are heard in the firebox
- the boiler overheats,
- extraneous noise
- water does not heat well.
Most often, the causes of breakdowns are voltage drops in the network, moisture entering the furnace, as well as unstable pressure in the gas pipeline. It is recommended to call a specialist who will diagnose and repair the equipment.
Popular Baksi company models
The Italian manufacturer offers customers a huge assortment of heating boilers, each of which has certain advantages. The most popular are gas models.
Slim
They are distinguished by high power, making them suitable for spacious buildings, as well as harsh climates and cold winters. In the manufacture of the heat exchanger, cast iron is used, which increases the weight of the boiler, but guarantees a significant service life and high efficiency. Fiberglass insulated casing provides minimal heat loss and high efficiency.
Luna
The main difference between the model is a large and convenient digital display, which displays all relevant information. The boiler can be installed on the floor or suspended on the wall. Small sizes and special mounts provide both types of installation. The model has a kit for a low-temperature heating circuit.
Nuvola
In the lineup there are wall and floor models. Water heating tanks have different volumes - from 40 to 60 liters. Any boiler from the series will be a good choice for a home where a large amount of hot water is consumed, because the productivity per hour reaches 900 liters. The copper heat exchanger provides fast heating.
