Wall-mounted electric radiators for dachas are an economical and convenient way to heat any country buildings: houses, dachas, bathhouses. Due to the lack of gas pipelines and central heating systems, a heating boiler is a very expensive alternative to heat supply systems. These radiators are affordable, easy to install and convenient to use, and the cost of their operation is much lower than other heating systems for suburban buildings.
Electric heating
Energy saving
Energy savings in electric heaters occur by controlling the required room heating temperature using a thermostat. The device reaches the set temperature, the power turns off, and when the heater cools down, it turns on again. The choice of housing material and type of coolant are also aimed at energy saving.
Additional features that 80% of buyers are interested in
- Anti-frost function . If you activate this function, the heater will automatically start heating the room at temperatures below 5 degrees;
- There are additional functions: “economy”, “comfort”;
- One of the most useful additional functions of a convector can be considered air ionization;
- Rollover sensor. An important feature that helps protect small children and pets. In case of a fall, the device automatically turns off;
- Automatic memorization of the parameters that were set when turned on;
- Modern convectors make it possible to program operating parameters, so you have the opportunity to change the temperature hourly .
Advantages and disadvantages of electric wall heaters
In addition to the main advantage - there is no need to supply gas to the site, because the electric battery only needs an outlet, the autonomous electric heating system has additional pros and cons.
Advantages:
- wide range of models offered;
- environmental Safety;
- variety of design solutions;
- ease of installation;
- work in automatic mode;
- high efficiency;
- silent operation of most models.
Flaws:
- high cost of electricity;
- the need to install a multiphase distributor;
- The price of an electric radiator is higher than that of a conventional battery.
Types of wall batteries
There are several types of electric wall batteries, differing in operating principle.
Infrared
The operating principle of infrared batteries is to convert electrical energy into thermal radiation. Due to long-wave radiation, the floor and objects on it are heated, which serve as heat transmitters. Heating objects, rather than air, retains heat longer, allowing you to use energy sparingly.
Convector
In electric convectors, heat transfer is carried out by heating the air passing through the device. Warm air increases in volume and exits through the grilles of the device, and cold air enters in its place. Thus, the room warms up very quickly. It is important to prevent the presence of drafts so that the convector does not work uselessly.

Oil radiator
The element located inside the radiator heats the intermediate coolant (mineral oil), which then warms up the body of the unit. The oil used retains heat for a long time, allowing you to save on electricity. Oil radiators are cheaper than other types of heaters and have small dimensions. However, heaters of this type warm up the room rather slowly, especially large ones. The surface of the radiator heats up to 150°; this requires careful handling of the device.
Fan heaters
The essence of the operation of fan heaters is to warm up the air flow that passes through the heating element. The air supply to the device is provided by a built-in fan. Most often, fan heaters are used in rooms where maintaining a constant temperature is not required. Many models can be used as a regular fan.

Steam-drip heater
In a paradrip heater system, water is placed in a confined space, which is heated by electricity and turned into steam. Then condensation occurs and the water is returned back to the system with the liquid carrier. This principle of operation of the heater allows you to use two types of energy at once: from the coolant and from steam condensation. After turning off the power, the device retains heat for a long time.
Carbon heating devices
Carbon heaters use carbon fiber placed in a quartz tube as a heater. This is a long-wave emitter that warms up objects in the room, not the air.
Lithium bromide heaters
The lithium bromide radiator consists of vacuum sections filled with lithium and bromide liquid, which turns into steam at a temperature of 35°. The steam rises to the top of the sections, giving off high temperature, and warms up the radiator.

Recommendations for choosing an electric wall heater
When choosing economical electric wall-mounted radiators for your dacha, you need to consider some recommendations.
High-quality and economical radiators are distinguished by the following characteristics:
- If you don’t have a lot of money to buy a heater, focus on models with a manual temperature control; such models are cheaper.
- When purchasing a radiator for your home, pay attention to the material of the heating element. For example, the service life of a tubular electric heater is 15 years. There are models with a long service life. Convectors with a needle heater are also considered budget-friendly; they have a limited service life, but are suitable for rooms that do not require constant heating, for example, a summer house.
- It is best to choose electric heaters with electronic thermostats. They are more expensive, but react more sensitively to temperature fluctuations, allowing you to maintain a given level of heat and save energy.
- If you decide to purchase a floor radiator, pay attention to the presence of a tip-over sensor. Especially if you have small children.
- It is best to install electric heaters under each window, since these places are more vulnerable to cold entering the room.
- The optimal power of the convector is calculated according to the principle: 1 kW for every 10 sq. m. with ceiling heights up to 270 cm. If the ceilings are higher, then add 10% for every 10 cm.
How to save on electricity without sacrificing quality
Electrical energy is an expensive resource. Electric heaters have significantly higher operating costs than their gas and water counterparts. Therefore, in order not to overpay, you can try to save money. How to do it? Purchase an energy-saving model of wall-mounted convector.
What makes such devices more economical to use:
- Smart control. Microprocessor thermostats independently set the temperature of the device depending on the time of day. In the evening and at night, when everyone is in the house, the radiator works more intensely than in the daytime, while everyone is busy relaxing in the fresh air or doing other things outside.
Microprocessor thermostats
- Energy saving technologies of the latest generation. If the technical characteristics of electric heaters are quite complex and develop more slowly, then there are no such difficulties with the heat exchange process itself. An electric liquid heating device consumes only 700-800 W. versus 1 kW. electricity with the classic version.
New generation electric heating devices
To correctly calculate energy consumption, it is necessary to multiply the power of the radiator by its operating time.
Installation of a wall convector
You can install the convector by turning to professionals, or on your own in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
If you install the electric battery yourself, you can use the following step-by-step instructions:
- Remove the device from the packaging and turn it over on its back.
- Unscrew the bracket if it is not packaged separately.
- Attach the mount to the wall and mark the location of the holes with a marker. Consider the manufacturer's recommendations for distances from the floor and walls. If the instructions do not include any, use the following parameters: height from the floor and distance to the nearest objects - 20 cm, gap between the wall - 20 mm, from the outlet - 30 cm.
- For a wooden wall, use self-tapping screws. For concrete, drill holes with a hammer drill and drive in dowels. Next, screw the mounting frame.
- Place the heater on the frame.
- Connect power.
- Set a comfortable temperature. Find out the calculator for calculating the heat load for heating a building using the link.
