Reliable heating and providing a private house with hot water is an urgent problem. It is important to purchase high-quality equipment that would be as easy and comfortable to work with as possible. The Baxi double-circuit gas boiler is very popular among buyers.
Advantages and disadvantages of Baksi boilers
A 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 raises water from a well or well. The Baxi double-circuit boiler, operating on different types of fuel, will heat it to the desired temperature and heat all rooms with high quality.
Equipment advantages:
- Complies with all safety standards.
- Heats up the room quickly due to the rather high power.
- The power and control of heating the room are regulated automatically - the user just needs to set the required parameters once.
- Small dimensions and weight greatly simplify the installation process and save usable floor space.
- Dealing with the device is as simple as possible.
There is only one drawback - a rather high cost. However, an Italian heating boiler made with modern equipment and quality materials cannot be cheap. The user receives first-class technology that is guaranteed to last for many years and will not cause problems.
Types of double-circuit boilers
Boiler models differ in the type of fuel used and the installation method.
Wall mounted
The Baksi wall-mounted gas double-circuit boiler is the most compact model. This does not prevent it from being quite powerful - it is capable of heating even a spacious private house.
Many users prefer hinged boilers, as they are easily integrated into the design of a kitchen or bathroom. They do not take up useful space and do not spoil the interior of the premises, which is an additional advantage.
Floor standing
Most often, floor standing boilers are large and heavy. This is fully compensated for by the large capacity, which is enough to provide residents with a huge amount of hot water and high-quality heating of a large mansion. Can be used in conjunction with underfloor heating to distribute heat evenly.
Baksi gas boilers do not produce waste at all - there is no need to clean the furnace from ash, which greatly facilitates the maintenance process.
Diesel
Diesel boilers are not very popular, as fuel has skyrocketed in price and continues to rise. Gas is more attractive from an economic point of view. But liquid-fuel equipment also has certain advantages. You can store diesel fuel in any tightly closed containers - from barrels to tanks.
The advantage is a small amount of soot - it is enough to clean the firebox several times a month, since the fuel burns with practically no waste. In this case, you need to take care of a sufficiently long chimney that removes combustion products at a great distance from the house and living quarters.
Solid fuel
Solid fuel boilers are used in places where it is not possible to connect to the gas pipeline.
The versatility of the equipment can be called a serious plus.The boilers work with different types of fuel:
- coal,
- firewood,
- peat,
- coke,
- special granules.
For small villages, as well as buildings with seasonal use, a solid fuel boiler can be a good choice.
TT boilers are not very convenient in the device - the fuel will have to be manually loaded regularly. The furnace needs to be cleaned much more often than in diesel ones - several times a week, and when using coal - daily.
Features of the choice of the Baksi boiler
- area of heated premises;
- minimum outside temperature;
- size and number of windows;
- the quality of building insulation.
You should also weigh in advance all the pros and cons of different fuels and determine which one is most suitable for a particular user.
Common problems
Even the highest quality equipment can fail. Often, 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 malfunctions:
- ignition failure,
- the burner stops turning on,
- pops are heard in the firebox,
- the boiler is overheating,
- extraneous noise,
- the water does not heat well.
The most common causes of breakdowns are voltage drops in the network, moisture ingress into 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 models of the Baksi company
The Italian manufacturer offers customers a huge range of heating boilers, each of which has certain advantages. It is gas models that are most popular.
Slim
They are characterized by high power, which makes them suitable for spacious buildings, as well as harsh climates, cold winters. Cast iron is used in the manufacture of the heat exchanger, which increases the weight of the boiler, but guarantees a significant service life and high efficiency. The fiberglass-insulated casing ensures 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 hung on the wall. Small dimensions and special mountings allow for both types of installation. The model has a kit for a low temperature heating circuit.
Nuvola
The line includes 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 capacity per hour reaches 900 liters. Copper heat exchanger provides fast heating.
