Overview of Cozy Electric Household Heaters

Business Solutions

This segment offers models that can be used for offices, industrial premises, change houses, kiosks, etc. Obviously, in this case, more power is required, so the developers recommend using 450- and 750-power Cozy heaters. The description of their design can be represented as follows: a metal case provided with a refractory shell, protection against current and moisture penetration.That is, these models are allowed for use in places with high humidity and high fire safety requirements. Inside the structure contains a heating element, the temperature regime of which does not exceed 75˚C. For this reason, the outer surfaces of the housing do not overheat, which eliminates the risk of accidental burns.

But, again, the fundamental difference between commercial models and home models lies in higher power ratings. In large rooms, even 750 W may not be enough for complex heating, therefore, in such configurations, it is recommended to use several units. But can the function of high-performance boiler houses really be replaced by wall mounted electric heater? The volumes of thermal energy from a group of such installations can correspond to indicators, for example, of an electric boiler of medium power. Another thing is that convectors will cost less because their operation does not require the use of consumables. Neither to maintain their immediate performance, nor to organize complex communication wiring with pumps and accumulators.

Connecting equipment

When installing the Cozy heating system, follow the safety regulations and do not touch live parts and assemblies with bare hands - carry out installation work with the mains turned off. All heaters from the same circuit are connected to each other in parallel, not in series. Each line goes to its own thermostat. Remember to take care of the proper wire size.

When using a multi-zone thermostat, install it in a specific room (for example, in the hallway or living room) and connect the power cables to it for each room

Please note that the total power consumption may be high. Therefore, a separate line must be drawn from the thermostat to the shield, connected through a dual RCD

We strongly recommend that you connect a ground loop to Cozy heaters to prevent electric shocks.

Mounting

The Teplaco heater will work efficiently only when properly installed. In the instructions for use, the manufacturer indicates the following requirements:

• The wall where the device will be installed should be pasted over with foil or other similar material in advance.
• Install the device at a height of at least 25 cm from the floor.
• Connect to the mains only after fixing.
• Several heaters should be located from each other at a distance of 5 meters.

If there are small children in the house, it is recommended to close the quartz surface with a hinged panel.

Important! For additional energy savings, you should separately buy and connect a thermostat

Features and properties of heaters

Cozy heating is heating with combination heaters powered by the mains. They combine the advantages of infrared devices and traditional convectors. With a small own power, these devices heat up decent volumes, saving electricity and maintaining a healthy microclimate in heated rooms.

Cozy electric heating includes a whole range of equipment. These are the heating devices themselves and the control thermostats. The presence of thermoregulation provides the following functionality:

• Separate maintenance of the set temperature in separate rooms.
• Energy savings by lowering the temperature during unused periods.
• Creation of a certain microclimate in special rooms (greenhouses, pantries, children's rooms, etc.).

In conjunction with heaters, control thermostats of any type can be used - mechanical and electronic, simple and programmable, local or remotely controlled via the Internet. Thus, Cozy heating is an opportunity to create an efficient heating system in the shortest possible time, and very easy to manage.

Cozy electric heaters do not cause discomfort, which is associated with the low temperature of the heating elements.

Consider the features and properties of Cozy heaters:

• The combined principle of operation is convection and infrared radiation.
• Low energy consumption - provides significant savings.
• No influence on the humidity level - a healthy atmosphere in every room.
• Compact - heaters from Cozy do not clutter up the space.

Operating principle

Cozy brand products are convectors. They contain heating elements, with the help of which the air is heated. The latter, after heating in the product, goes to the ceiling, filling the space, displacing cool air, directing it downwards. There, cold air masses enter the heater and are heated. The second part of products of this type is infrared.

Infrared rays, reaching surrounding objects, heat them up. The radiation intensity is low, which allows the equipment to be safe and not cause discomfort to people in the room. The double principle of operation gives the chance of cumulative heating of rooms.

Products are presented on the market space of two types - for main and additional heating.They are made in miniature cases, the thickness of which is from 0.3-0.4 cm.

Main lineup

Ballu produces five main ranges of electric convectors. Let's look at these series in more detail and calculate their key differences.

Platinum series convectors, Evolution series

Here, the developers went too far with beautiful words, since Ballu electric convectors are hidden behind them, made in a conventional design, there is nothing special about them. The models presented in the series are equipped with step power regulators, anti-freeze systems, efficient heating elements and complete legs. The manufacturer positions the series as a flagship series with author's design.

The control in this series is electronic, the design includes an informative LED display (in some models). Also, Ballu Platinum series convectors will please with automatic restart after a power outage, parental control function, 24-hour timer and built-in air ionizer. In general, the heaters are not bad, but with the design they are not as smooth as the manufacturer claims.

The power of convectors from this series varies from 1 to 2 kW, this is enough to heat rooms for any purpose up to 20-25 square meters. m (depending on the climate in your area).

Platinum series convectors, Plaza EXT series

This series includes electric convectors Ballu in black. Now they can already be called designer - there is a stylish color and a front panel made of glass-ceramic. Heaters from this series are equipped with aluminum exhaust grilles and remote controls. Fans of high-tech style will appreciate the piercing blue LED display.These convectors will fit well in almost any room.

Camino ECO Series

The youngest and most modest representative of this series is the Ballu BEC / EM 1000 convector. It has a power of 1 kW and can be used to heat rooms up to 10 square meters. m. The Camino ECO series are heaters for an unpretentious audience, with a simple appearance and more than affordable price. The maximum power of the models is 2 kW, the scope of application is space heating for any purpose.

Convectors Ballu series ENZO

This series is distinguished by the presence of built-in air ionizers - they allow you to make indoor air healthier, saturating it with life-giving ions. The convectors are provided with step-by-step power adjustment, electronic and mechanical thermostats, efficient heating elements, parental control, tilt sensors and splash-proof housings. Typical representatives of the series are the Ballu ENZO BEC / EZMR 1500 and convectors Ballu ENZO BEC/EZMR 2000 1.5 and 2 kW.

The Ballu ENZO series, in our opinion, is the most balanced and advanced - everything that is needed in modern heating equipment is provided here.

Convectors from the RED Evolution series

These are the same convectors with a double type of heating that we talked about at the very beginning of our review. They are able to heat by convection and infrared radiation, significantly accelerating the heating of rooms and interior items. Optimal for buildings with poor thermal insulation and high ceilings. The power of the equipment varies from 1 to 2 kW.The design of the convectors provides for anodized heating elements (2 pcs.), Intake air intakes, step-by-step power adjustment and splash protection.

If you are looking for convectors that can work in damp rooms, such as saunas or bathrooms, be sure to take a look at the RED Evolution series.

How to correctly calculate the profitability of the model

Each device has both its advantages and certain disadvantages. Infrared products have the same power as a water heating system, but the costs will be half as much. The convector does not belong to economical equipment, but in combination with thermostats, you can reduce heating costs by one and a half times.

The choice of suitable equipment depends on certain technical characteristics.

To reduce your energy consumption, follow these simple tips:

• overlay the building with another layer of brick with thermal insulation;
• doors should be insulated, and windows should be triple;
• insulation of the attic space will reduce heat loss;
• installation of thermostats.

Such a reduction in heat loss will make heating with heaters more economically profitable.

Main characteristics of models

Power potential in the form of power is one of the basic parameters by which heating equipment is selected. This is especially true for small devices. In this case, the engineers have chosen the concept of resource optimization. As a result, the power of the units on average varies from 250 to 750 watts. At the same time, it should be taken into account that the performance of convectors and radiators, supported by a power of 1000 W, provides heat only for rooms with an area of ​​10 m2.In terms of dimensions, the characteristics of Cozy heaters differ - for example, the M1 format marks equipment with parameters of 70x58x3 cm. The most massive devices have a size M3 corresponding to 95x35x3.3 cm. Accordingly, we are talking about length, width and thickness. High-quality alloys are used in the construction, providing multi-faceted protection. The manufacturer indicates that the product is assigned an IP 24 class. This means that the equipment is isolated from external influences - for example, from dust and moisture.

Scope of use

Quartz heater is fireproof, so it is suitable for a children's room

Quartz heaters are designed for heating residential, administrative and commercial premises. The universal device is installed on any object equipped with electrical networks. Scope of monolithic batteries:

• country houses;
• apartments;
• private houses;
• warehouses;
• garages;
• shops and pavilions;
• industrial premises.

The units are used as permanent heating and in the off-season to raise the temperature to a comfortable level. Quartz batteries can be combined with other systems. In private homes, they supplement water heating from a stove or boiler. At facilities where there is no centralized heating, devices can maintain a positive temperature without the presence of people. Heaters are fireproof, they are installed in museums, trade and exhibition halls.

Home Solutions

For home use, the company offers heaters in 250 and 320 W versions. We can say that these are basic solutions that, depending on the configuration of the equipment placement, can be used both in arranging a country house and in equipping a small apartment.With regard to size formats, the Cozy heater for the home is available in M1, M2 and M3 versions. That is, all standard sizes of the assortment are represented in this segment. As for the weight, it is 8 kg. The modest weight just allows you to perform wall mounting using complete brackets.

When buying such models, it should be borne in mind that they initially focus on small heating areas - about 5-10 square meters. Therefore, for complex maintenance of a house or apartment, several systems may be required. Even in one room, it is possible to install 2-3 panels. This, of course, has a drawback, but it is expressed only in the hassle of performing one-time installation work. There will be no problems with control, since several economical Cozy convector heaters can be controlled by one thermostat. The user can only set the optimal mode of operation for a group of equipment in a particular room.

What is "Cozy"?

Considering the energy-saving Cozy convectors in more detail, it should be noted that they belong to the class of convector devices. However, thanks to a special design that has been patented by the manufacturer, it boasts many of the advantages of infrared models.

The heater soon after the start of work quickly heats the air around it, and thanks to the convector system, it is evenly distributed throughout the room. Studying the design features of the device, it is necessary to mention the presence of two film-type heating elements at once, which are located along the front and back of the device. The heating of the building is carried out due to the circulation of air between these elements, after which, being heated, it exits through the upper ventilation holes.

Handymen of all trades will be interested in an article about which radio components containing precious metals can be found in devices (with prices).

Installation of Cozy heaters

Installation is carried out using the brackets that are included with the equipment. If necessary, and in case of a non-standard installation scheme, the design of the heaters allows the use of other methods of fixation. In any case, the installation process will require drilling holes in the wall niche and fixing the carrier equipment. Since the design of the Cozy heater does not involve the use of the rear part for air circulation, the fastening can be carried out closely.

Further, electrical measures are taken with the connection of the unit. As for the supply circuit, the devices are introduced into the circuit with a voltage of 220 V according to the standard scheme. But the mounting configuration of several panels with one thermostat deserves special attention. In such a placement model, a parallel circuit is implemented, in which the phase cable from the main heater is used, and the remaining wires from the auxiliary units are already connected to it. Also, the Cozy heating system provides for the connection of devices with grounding and grounding circuits. For them, special tires are provided in the electrical circuit of the installation - blue and yellow-brown.

Model range and equipment characteristics

The most powerful samples have a thickness of up to 40 mm.

The manufacturer has provided for the division of Cozy heaters into three categories:

• M1 - with case dimensions 700x580x30 mm.
• M2 - 750x500x30 mm.
• M3 - 950x350x33 mm.

Models for connection to common thermostats do not have plugs and regulators. Their power is from 250 to 720 W, the heated area is from 5 to 15 square meters. m, that is, the most powerful heater can warm up to 15 squares (volume up to 40 cubic meters) with a power of only 0.72 kW. This is two times less than the norm, according to which for every 10 sq. m should account for 1 kW of thermal energy. Models with plug and 1 m cable have the same characteristics.

In order to ensure maximum efficiency from the use of Cozy heaters, do not forget to work on the thermal insulation of your home - you need to insulate the ceilings and walls, replace single-layer packages with three-layer energy-saving ones (and also reduce their area), install normal entrance doors.

The user can only set the optimal mode of operation for a group of equipment in a particular room.

The efficiency of the main types of heaters for the home

Everyone knows what efficiency is, it is the difference between the energy expended and the energy produced. When calculating the coefficient, we tried to provide the most detailed answer in tabular form. Since, in addition to the energy component, there are also financial costs for the purchase of the device itself, the cost of electricity, the calculation is made taking into account these factors.

The table shows the average values ​​obtained as a result of testing various types of heaters (thanks to one well-known store for providing testing equipment). The cost for 1 kW of energy is 4 rubles. The heating took place within 1 hour in a furnished room 18 sq.m. with an initial temperature of 22°C. The power of the heaters is 1500 W. Control type - electronic.

View	Average price, p	Declared maximum power, W	Temperature change during 1 hour, gr. FROM	Spent kW by meter	The cost of electricity consumed, p
fan heater	1250	1500	+3,9	1,69	6,76
Oil	3200	1500	+5,1	1,74	6,96
Convector	3540	1500	+6,2	1,52	6,08
Infrared	3580	1500	+6,1	1,22	4,88
Mycathermic	7800	1500	+7,0	1,24	4,96

The figures obtained are approximate, since many important factors affecting the result are not taken into account, such as: a single brand of the manufacturer, humidity in the room, model of the heater itself, directivity, voltage in the electrical circuit, etc.

But nevertheless, the figures turned out to be the following, the highest efficiency was obtained for convectors, infrared, mikathermic heaters. The fan heater barely managed to heat the room by 4 degrees.

The oil radiator heated the room quite well, after the stop of the experiment, the room continued to heat up and stay warm longer than others, so you should not write it off due to high power consumption.

Inverter thermostat

The cost of heaters with inverter units can vary from 8,000 to 30,000 rubles. In the long run, as a rule, such costs pay off. More in the video:

Features of heaters

The main principles for the development of Cozy heating systems include energy saving and functionality. These qualities are the basis of the technologies on the basis of which the designs of heaters are designed. To begin with, it is worth noting the optimization of the units, which allowed homeowners to build individual heating systems consisting of several panels. One thermostat allows you to serve 7 functional units, located in different parts of the house. Thus, energy is saved for the propagation of thermal radiation, since each heater occupies a designated place. For comparison, more powerful models of the same convectors from competing manufacturers are installed at one point and serve the entire target area from it. Another feature is the high efficiency provided by Cozy heaters. The reviews note that the actual performance of the equipment in the case of choosing units of this brand is consistent with the initial calculations for the required heat transfer volumes.Another thing is that it is possible to achieve an efficiency of about 99% only if the convectors are properly regulated, taking into account current needs and microclimate parameters.
