When central heating has not yet been turned on, compact models powered by the mains come to the rescue. This is an economical type of heating that is suitable for any type of room. It is worth considering a universal option - an electric wall-mounted heating radiator. In all respects, it occupies an intermediate niche between batteries and portable oil heaters.

Varieties of heating appliances
The main types of modern equipment powered by the mains:
- invertor split systems;
- domestic air conditioners working on the principle of cooling / heating;
- stationary and mobile type converters;
- design radiators with ceramic panel;
- fan heaters and electric fireplaces;
- oil coolers;
- infrared and micathermic heating appliances with directional heat waves.
Heating electrical appliances can be used as the main method of heating, as well as in the case when ordinary batteries can not cope with the load during a sharp cold snap. They differ in the type of filler:
- water coolant;
- vacuum (inside lithium-ionic liquid and TEN);
- oil.
The compact device looks like a normal battery
There are powerful convectors capable of forcing warm air into a large hall or several adjacent rooms. But they are most often used for commercial premises. For cottages, cottages and private houses more economical wall mounted oil radiators remain more popular.
Where is better to place a heater
About where to install the heating unit, experts came to the conclusion that the best thing is at the windowsill. This is the optimal placement, since this creates a kind of thermal curtain. Cold masses of air sliding from the window fall onto the heated metal surface of a wall-mounted electric heating radiator.
Comfortable air is distributed throughout the room and further into adjacent rooms. Steam or water heating from the boiler, several such devices will completely replace. They are also suitable for heating the private sector.
Wall-mounted electric heating radiators have the same mounting method as conventional urban heating systems - wall brackets. This is almost a "classic" of heating. The main advantage - they are equipped with switches and temperature controllers.
For all types of convectors, the shape of the body is thought out so that warm air is more likely to spread in the room. Economical appliances, with the same amount of heat generated, consume energy by about 25-30% less.
Fireplace wall panel
You can hang such a device on any wall, the main thing is that its strength allows it to be done. As a rule, they are placed at the same level as conventional batteries, as cold air goes down.
Helpful advice! If the device is supposed to be installed in a room without windows (in the hallway, corridor, long staircase recreation), then the best place is at the coldest wall.
To heat the bathroom, it would be wise to purchase a waterproof model.
Important benefits of wall mounted electric heaters
There are devices with different efficiency - thermal return, thermal inertness (heating rate) of the metal is different. The highest and thermal conductivity is for aluminum heaters.
The main advantages of mobile wall-mounted energy-saving electric heating radiators:
- ease of use, it is possible to quickly disconnect from the outlet;
- high speed of heating a metal surface;
- low power consumption;
- overheat protection;
- high accuracy of adjustment of indicators on an external sensor, a change in hysteresis is available (difference in temperature on and off);
- do not consume oxygen due to the absence of a combustion process (absence of phenols, carbon monoxide, organic impurities in the air);
- comfortably warms the air, the surface is not hot, therefore it is recommended for a children's room.
Attention! Design radiators with a decorative panel in the form of a picture also belong to the category of wall-mounted appliances. They perform the same function, but give off less heat.
The original heater can not be distinguished from the picture
Wall-mounted film heater - the same picture behind which the equipment is hidden. Experts do not consider them a worthy alternative to real works of art, rather, this is a compact version of the photo wallpaper with a heating effect. Although they do not belong to economical heating devices, nevertheless it is precisely in aesthetics that their main advantage.
Recommendations for choosing wall-mounted heating electrical equipment
A good choice is when the heater meets the basic requirements:
- reliable operation;
- compact format;
- the outer surface should not be heated above 65 ° C, so that there is no risk of getting a burn;
- attractive design;
- the housing is easy to maintain (easy to wash and clean, repainting possible);
- does not take up much space, fits in a standard window sill;
- there is enough thermal power to heat the room to a comfortable level;
- equipped with work load regulators;
- the case is protected by a corrosion-resistant coating (galvanizing or painting), which protects from moisture;
- health safety;
- affordable cost.
The main parameters are met by all wall-mounted heating radiators operating from the network.
Helpful advice! It is very convenient when the wall-mounted electric radiator closes the outlet or is in close proximity. The extension cord can be easily hidden behind the skirting board or in a specially prepared for it strobe.
A wide range of this type of heating equipment can be found in specialized stores. Most manufacturers offer energy-saving electric heating radiators. The main manufacturers of such devices, popular in Russia:
- Gorenje;
- Stiebel;
- Technology XXI;
- "Home";
- Aeronik
Wall heaters are modern, convenient, economical. A wide selection of models allows you to purchase both a simple device of a familiar appearance and a device that can become a highlight of the interior.
