Gas boilers are one of the most economical and affordable heating devices for creating autonomous heating networks. But the variety of manufacturers often becomes a problem when choosing. Experts know that there is a trade mark that characterizes a wide range and reliability of products. And these are modern gas heating boilers baxi: wall and floor, reviews and characteristics will help you decide on the best type of equipment.
About BAXI
The history of the company began back in 1924, when a production of enameled tableware 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, baxi 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 constant analysis of consumer interests. Taking into account the various operating conditions and requirements for the characteristics of the equipment, unique baxi gas heating boilers have been developed. They can be divided into the following groups:
- Wall mounted... The most popular category includes boilers with a closed gas burner and two exhaust options - natural and forced circulation. With their help, you can organize an effective heating and hot water supply system;
- Floor standing... Most models are for heating only. But they are characterized by high power ratings - up to 108 kW.
Wall-mounted gas heating boilers baxi or floor standing 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. They make full use of all the energy to heat the coolant, including the high temperatures of water condensate.
Before connecting the baxi boiler to the heating system, you should take the Technical Condition (TU) from the management company. Based on this data, you can select a suitable model.
Wall hung boilers BAXI
The best option for organizing autonomous heating in a private house or apartment is wall-mounted double-circuit gas 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 defining parameters of heating equipment is its capacity, and for gas boilers - the type of burner (closed or atmospheric) as well as the method for removing carbon monoxide gases. For apartments and houses without a boiler room, it is best to use models with forced draft.
For boilers with forced draft, you need to purchase a special coaxial pipe, which performs the function of removing carbon monoxide and through it air from the street enters the burner.
Main BAXI boilers series
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.
A typical heat exchanger is a bithermal design. Copper plates are spot welded onto the pipe surface.Thus, the manufacturer has achieved the maximum efficiency indicator. An expansion tank and a circulation pump are installed in the structure. Therefore, connecting the baxi boiler to the heating system does not present any particular difficulties. But it must be remembered that this work should only be performed by specialists with the appropriate permission.
In addition, the features of the Main series of baxi boilers for heating include the following:
- The modulation of the burner flame takes place in a continuous mode, both for heating and for DHW;
- Air regulation with patented technology;
- Two temperature modes of heating operation - 80-35 and 45-35 ° С. The latter is intended for floor heating systems;
- Filtration of water coming from the central water supply system.
For gas heating boilers of the Baxi Main series, an affordable cost is characteristic. The simplest model with a power of 18 kW with Main Four 18 F will cost 44,000 rubles.
Luna BAXI series of boilers
One of the disadvantages of gas heating boilers for wall-mounted double-circuit baxi in the reviews is their sensitivity to the pressure drop of the main gas and voltage surges. Therefore, the company developed the Luna series adapted for the Russian operating conditions.
The most popular is the Luna 3 Comfort model. This is a double-circuit boiler with a convenient LCD display and functional controls. It will work even when the gas pressure drops to 5 mbar. Also noteworthy is the special treatment of the primary heat exchanger made of copper. The protective layer reduces the likelihood of corrosion on its surface.
The power of the boiler directly depends on the area of the room - 10 m² will require 1 kW of heat energy.
Other advantages of wall-mounted gas heating boilers baxi Luna are:
- Smooth running of electronic ignition;
- It is possible to connect a storage boiler;
- Weekly programming of heating modes;
- Normal operation in the mains voltage range from 170 to 250 V.
It is noteworthy that the arrangement of a heating system with a Luna baxi boiler will not differ much in cost from the Main series. The price of a 24 kW model will be 66,000 rubles. And this is taking into account the additional features and increased reliability of the design.
In addition to these boilers, a line of Fourtech and Eco Compact models can be distinguished. They have the same layout features, but slightly differ 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 baxi boiler to the heating system, you first need to determine its location. Most often this is the kitchen. Then, using the template supplied with the equipment, the fasteners are installed. The boiler must be connected to the gas main only by specialists from the management company.
The wall must be treated with a fireproof material before installation. This is one of the main conditions for the correct installation of gas equipment.
Floor standing boilers BAXI
For the organization of large networks, gas heating boilers baxi slim are recommended. These models are designed for heating only, but despite this they have several important advantages.
First of all - adaptation to extreme operating conditions. Most often, in gas heating boilers, including baxi, the heat exchanger fails. This is due to two mutually exclusive requirements - reliability and a high heat transfer rate. In gas heating boilers baxi slim, the heat exchanger is made of cast iron. Despite the decrease in the heat exchange rate and, as a consequence, the efficiency, the entire structure has a long, maintenance-free service life.
Unlike wall-mounted gas boilers for heating baxi, in floor-standing models there is the possibility of reversible connection to the gas main and the heating system - from the right or left side panel of the device:
- Two-stage burner with built-in thermostat for control;
- Possibility of mounting weather-dependent sensors and automation cascades;
- Set of adapters for operation with liquefied gas.
All gas heating boilers baxi of the slim series are equipped with an expansion tank and 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, it is recommended to pay attention to reviews. But in this case, their subjectivity must be taken into account:
- After much deliberation, we decided to purchase a 24 kW Baxi Comfort boiler. He served faithfully for 3 years, but after a minor breakdown they encountered a problem - there are no spare parts available. I had to wait 2 weeks until they were taken to the service center;
- We replaced the old boiler with a new model ECO Compact 1.24 F. Internally, we were ready for constant pressure transfers to the hot water supply, as this should be typical of 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 in order to install Baksi Slim gas boilers into the heating system, it is imperative to equip a boiler room. Otherwise, the permission from the Management Company to connect to the gas main will not be obtained.
