They determine the efficiency and efficiency of the boiler. In addition, you should know exactly what kind of boiler you need: running or storage. Flowing electrical appliance  for heating water has its advantages, for example, compactness, ease of use and rapid heating. We have presented the top storage boilers and hope that our recommendations will be useful and will be useful in the future when buying.

Centralized hot water supply is not always possible, but you can not live without hot water. Therefore, the question arises of choosing an alternative, that is, a water heater. The issue of choosing an electric storage water heater will be helped by the rating of the best models of 2017.

There are many models: gas, electric, liquid fuel. In houses where there is no gas, the best option  it will be the electric model. How to choose a good boiler? Hopefully our top 10 best electric storage water heaters will help you solve this issue.

Among the many advertised functions and a wide variety of models it is quite difficult to understand what the consumer really needs. Which functions are useful, and which are unnecessary overstatement of prices? An inexperienced customer is often confused in the large flow of this information.

There are certain criteria that should be paid more attention to:

1. Scope storage tank. Happens from 10 to 300 liters. The smallest (10 liters) will be suitable for installation above or under the sink in the country (wash your hands, dishes, etc.). For 2-3 people in the house there will be enough tank in 50 - 80 liters. For 4 or more people - from 100 liters. 300-liter boilers are installed on several apartments or rooms in mini-hotels.
2. Power. The higher this value, the faster the heating will be. But the consumption of electricity will also be greater. Now there are models up to 7 kW. The optimal value  it is considered 2 - 2.5 kW (depending on the capacity of the boiler, of course).
3. Internal coating. Budget models have enamel and glass-ceramic coating. Expensive boilers are equipped with stainless steel components with titanium sputtering. Steel tanks have a longer warranty period, but there is a risk of leakage along the welded seam.
4. A heating element. This can be a heater or a spiral. The first are more reliable and more expensive, the latter are less durable.
5. Presence of an anticorrosive anode.
6. Electrical protection. The device must meet certain standards. Your safety depends on it directly.

Choosing between two models, take one that is heavier. Larger weight means that the tank walls are thicker, that is, it will resist corrosion longer.

The capacity of this brand varies from 30 to 200 liters.

What technical characteristics to pay attention to?

Having defined the brand, pay attention to:

1. Dimensions of the device and its weight. These parameters are important when choosing the location where the boiler will be installed.
2. Type of fastening. Most of the boilers are mounted on a wall, but units larger than 150 liters can be installed on the floor. Also some devices can be mounted hidden.
3. Capacity of the device. Her choice should be influenced by the mode of use of the device, as well as the number of residents. The calculation of the required capacity is based on the average cost of hot water by one person.
4. Material of the tank and thermal insulation. The best version of the tank is a product made of stainless steel, and for the protection of steel walls are used different variants  coating, for example, enamel, titanium or glass-ceramics. From the thickness of the thermal insulation layer located between the walls of the inner tank and the boiler body, the ability of the device to keep the temperature of the heated water for a long time depends.

Power heater. It can vary from 1 to 6 kW and affects the heating rate of the water collected in the boiler, as well as the electricity consumption of the appliance.

• When choosing the most suitable heater for your home, cottage or apartment, consider the purpose and frequency of its use. Some people are looking for a device that can heat water during the hot water cutoff in summer, while others want to provide hot water  dacha, but do not need a large-capacity device, others are interested in equipment that can heat water for several families living in a private house. In each of these cases optimal model  the boiler will be its own.
• Determine the place of installation of the device by measuring the wall and making sure that it is able to withstand the weight of the heater along with the water in it. If you need a compact heater, take a closer look at the horizontal models or the flat boilers.

When choosing the power of the heating device, assess the condition of the wiring in the house or apartment. It is also important when buying a heater to ask about the warranty obligations from the manufacturer and the availability of repair of the purchased model.

In fact, almost all brands have both successful and frankly weak models. Therefore, one can not say unequivocally: say, take a water heater of such and such a brand and you will be happy. Another thing is that the manufacturers mentioned in our review are the most popular and a lot of positive feedback from the current owners. Choosing a single one, it will be much easier to determine with a specific instance of the device in the future. And for this it is necessary to further analyze your need for hot water, the possibility of a home electric or gas network, the availability of free space for accommodation.

Of course, the pricing policy of individual brands is of no small importance. Someone is willing to pay for German quality and buys Stiebel Eltron or AEG, someone will have to taste and wage products of the average price range from Gorenje or Electrolux. Inexpensive Thermex models or some brands that are not included in the review (for example, Hyundai) may be quite competitive, but there are certain risks. In choosing the really best models, our current ratings can help.

Due to the fact that centralized hot water supply is becoming more expensive, electric water heaters of storage type, more commonly known as boilers, are gaining popularity. In this article, we will consider the most important points that should be taken into consideration when choosing such an instrument. In addition, we will try to tell you about the most interesting models and make a small rating of electric storage water heaters in 2017. This will help us feedback from consumers who have already experienced the charms of such units. We hope this small TOP will help you better understand the world of electric storage "hot-water" devices.

What to look for when choosing

Each firm-manufacturer is sure that it produces the best boilers. Agree, it would be strange if the producers did not praise their goods. After all, any production requires considerable expenses and it would be short-sighted to produce frankly bad products. But among the sounding of "laudatory songs" to an inexperienced consumer it is rather difficult to determine the list of necessary functions. It can also be difficult to understand what you can save on, and which "buns" should still be spent. To understand all these questions, we will be helped by feedback from buyers, having analyzed which we have compiled a small list of really important criteria for selection.

• Volume of the tank. The range here is quite large: from 10-15 liters and up to 300.
• The power of the device. The higher this parameter, the faster the boiler heats the water. But it is important not to overdo it. You will have to pay the electricity bill.
• Type of heating element. Most often it is a heater or a special spiral. The former are slightly more expensive, and the latter are more often burned out.
• Presence in the tank of an anticorrosive anode. The presence of such an element allows you to automatically "glue" the small internal cracks inside the tank.
• Degree of electrical protection. There are special standards that the device must meet. Your safety depends on this.

When choosing a storage water heater, it is worthwhile to carefully study each of these parameters. So let's and we will dwell on them a little more.

Tank capacity

The first thing that consumers are advised to pay attention to is the volume of the tank. If you underestimate this parameter, hot water is not enough for all the needs of the family and you will have to wait a long time until a new portion is heated. In the event that you decide to purchase a water heater with a large margin, remember - the larger the volume, the more expensive the price.

• For one person, a tank with a capacity of about 30-50 liters is suitable. A more capacious model is an extra waste of money.
• If your family consists of 2-3 people, you have enough volume of about 80 liters. But if your households give preference to the soul instead of the bath, then 50 liters may suffice.
• For a family of 4 or more people, store at least one hundred liters of hot water. And for fans to lie in the tub you need a minimum of 120 liters.
• There are also models with a capacity of 300 liters, but installing them in a conventional apartment is economically inexpedient. Such electrical storage water heaters
• most often installed in small hotels, as well as in general showers in enterprises or in gyms.

Device power

Another important criterion is the power of the heating element. In the models of 2017, this figure can vary from one to 6-7 kW, while many units can be connected to both single-phase and three-phase mains.

To exclude "knocking out" plugs, you need to carefully calculate the load on the electrical wiring in the apartment. If your network is laid recently and is capable of withstanding significant loads, the power needs to be selected based on the desired rate of obtaining hot water. As you understand, the more powerful the heater, the faster the liquid in the tank heats up. However, it is worth remembering that with increasing capacity, the electricity bill also grows. So, the "golden mean" is very important here. Optimum is the indicator not higher than 2-2.5 kW, depending on the volume of the tank.

Internal coating of units and parts

Budget models often have an internal coating of enamel or glass ceramics. More expensive - equipped with stainless steel components or titanium sputtering. Is it worth saving to solve for you, but pay attention to this:

the warranty period for steel tanks is much higher;

models from steel have weld, which with time can leak a little;

in the network you can read reviews of users claiming that the stainless steel tank adversely affects the taste of hot water and its smell.

By the way, if you doubt which model to choose, compare them by weight. The more the tank weighs, the thicker its walls, and hence the corrosion resistance will be much higher.

Extra options

There are a few more "gadgets" with which the best models are equipped:

Boilers come with "wet" or "dry" heating element. "Dry" heater is more safe and durable. It is placed in a special sealed flask and completely does not come into contact with the liquid. This eliminates the possibility of scaling or electric shock.

The level of thermal insulation of the water tank. The thicker the insulation layer, the longer the water will remain hot. Pay attention to models with an insulating layer of at least 35-40 mm, and as a material, choose polyurethane foam, it is much better than foam rubber.

Pay attention to the presence of such functions as accelerated heating, protection from overheating or freezing, the presence of magnesium anode.
