What is the success of wall mounted gas boilers
The reasons for the unconditional success of wall-mounted boilers are many, among which the main ones are:
small overall dimensions
European manufacturability and reliability
ease of maintenance
superior safety performance.
Wall-mounted gas boilers are easy to install, compact and relatively inexpensive. At the same time, the consumer is provided with a good opportunity to organize a dual-circuit heating system.
How is a wall mounted gas boiler
Currently, wall-mounted gas boilers are represented by the main groups:
single-circuit used for individual heating (VU marking)
dual-circuit, used for heating and domestic hot water (VUW marking).
Learn more about how the wall-mounted gas boiler is arranged, the proposed video will help you.
Overview of wall-mounted gas boiler models
We begin the review of wall-mounted gas boilers of single-circuit and double-circuit with the products of leading brands in its segment. In order to find 10 differences between wall-mounted boilers of domestic and foreign production, we define the selection criteria. The selection criteria are justified by the main parameters that characterize a certain type of gas boilers. These parameters are indicators:
power
power consumption
type of combustion chamber and ignition
exhaust gas
availability of boiler control functions.
Popular boiler models have obvious advantages and some disadvantages.
Advantages of wall mounted gas boilers
The advantages of wall-mounted gas boilers are as follows:
compactness and the ability to place the mounted boiler anywhere
low cost compared to floor standing boilers
simplicity of installation and installation
the possibility of using coaxial chimneys and turbocharged models.
Therefore, wall-mounted gas boilers are simply indispensable for country houses and apartments.

However, with all the positive qualities and potential capabilities of wall mounted boilers, they have a number of disadvantages.
Disadvantages of wall mounted gas boilers
The disadvantages of wall-mounted gas boilers include:
short service life
power limits
Compared to existing floor standing gas boilers, wall mounted models are not as durable. Indeed, when designing and manufacturing wall-mounted boilers, the goal was to create a compact model with an attractive design. A peculiar disadvantage is also the limitation on the power of the wall. As a rule, the power of wall-mounted gas boilers does not exceed 40 kW.
Popular domestic wall-mounted boilers are distinguished by their non-volatility and the ability to work with natural coolant circulation. Wall-mounted gas boilers are reliable in operation, practically do not differ in design from imported ones. At the same time, they are equipped with gas automation of foreign manufacturers Honeywell, Evrosit or Polidoro.
Most domestic wall-mounted boilers are certified according to international ISO system quality standards.
The line of domestic wall-mounted gas boilers is represented by the popular single-circuit chimney boilers. These are the models:
- MS 24 with gas flow, m3 / h. 1.3
- 16 ATON TITAN with maximum gas flow, m3 / h. - 1.78
- Aton AOGVM 8E with gas consumption, m3 / h - 1.
Imported wallboards are represented by the most popular models:
- BAXI with a maximum consumption of natural gas m3 / h - 2.78 (2.07)
- BOSCH ZS 28-2 KE with a consumption of natural gas under operating conditions (15C, 1013 mbar), m3 / h from 1.17 to 3.00.
The single-circuit boilers of Vaillant and BUDERUS companies are considered honorary leaders. Popular wall-mounted gas boilers with single-circuit power from 20 kW, the most preferred for country houses, are represented by the models: atmoTEC plus VU and turboTEC plus VU.
Double-wall wall-mounted gas boilers are presented by the models: BERETTA, atmoTEC plus VUW, atmoTEC pro VUW, turboTEC plus, VUWturboTEC pro VUW, Viessmann 24 kW Vitopend 100 WH1D turbo.
A big fat plus can be confidently put for the composition of the finished boiler package, which is carried out by German manufacturers. The cost of such boilers is significantly reduced by the scope of supply. The starter pack includes: a boiler of excellent design, a capacious boiler, a microprocessor sensor as part of automation and a security group. Packages from the manufacturer allow you to accurately and concisely choose the configuration of the equipment for the planned heating system. In parallel, the option of the chimney, the power of the boiler and the volume of the boiler system are selected. Innovative technologies and German quality allowed BUDERUS to take a leading position in the premium segment. Single-circuit Stenchiks are also represented by the Logamax U052-24 model, which has a turbine boiler with a copper heat exchanger. Taking into account the novelties of Vaillant system engineering, the system components coordinated in terms of parameters make it possible to achieve the maximum heating effect with minimum energy consumption.
And finally, the big difference will be the cost of installing a wall-mounted boiler.
The installation of a domestic single-circuit boiler by a specialized organization, if at the time of installation of all the necessary agreed permits, will cost you:
with a chimney boiler power of 12 to 24 kW. on average $ 100
with a boiler power from 24 to 32 kW - 120 $
with a power of a turbocharged boiler from 12 to 24 kW. average 106 $
with a boiler power from 24 to 32 kW - $ 126.
The installation of an imported single-circuit boiler by the same specialized organization, if it is mandatory at the time of installation, of the necessary agreed permits, will cost:
with a chimney boiler power of 24 to 32 kW. an average of $ 200
with a boiler power from 32 to 48 kW - $ 250.
In modern suburban construction, wall-mounted gas boilers of low power (up to 14 kW) are rarely used due to the lack of a second circuit necessary for hot water supply.
