Review of the best Atlantic water heaters of 2024

The water heater is an invention of civilization that allows you to enjoy hot water anywhere and at any time. People spoiled by comfort can no longer imagine their life without this good. In the country or in a country house, such a unit is an integral part of everyday life. The variety of models of water heating devices at the same time complicates and facilitates the choice. On the one hand, it is possible to select a unit that best meets the requirements, however, the mass of technical parameters does not allow an uninitiated person to navigate in the sea of ​​specific difficulties.

Types of water heaters

Water heaters are divided into the following types:

• flowing gas;
• flowing electric;
• accumulative electric;
• storage gas;
• indirect water heaters - boilers.

Flowing

The column heats water directly when its supply is turned on. This is possible due to a heating element located inside the device, which, in contact with the liquid, instantly increases its temperature.

Gas instantaneous water heater

A gas burner works on the principle of heating a heat exchanger to heat water. This type is considered the most economical for hot water supply. The unit itself is significantly more expensive than its electrical counterpart and requires impressive investments in the installation, purchase and installation of the chimney. The reward for all the efforts will be cheap operation, provided it is connected to a main gas supply or a gas tank.

Electric instantaneous water heater

The heat-heating element works on the principle of an electric boiler, with an increase in the temperature of the liquid in which it is immersed. The advantage of this type of electric carrier is the availability of fuel. Electricity is available everywhere today.

The electric heater is easy to install and does not require delicate technologies for connection.

Storage water heater

The boiler is equipped not only with a heating element, but also with a tank for warming and accumulating hot water. The tanks use a "thermos" system to maintain the obtained liquid temperature. Depending on the type of fuel: gas or electricity, boilers, respectively, are divided into gas storage and electric storage water heaters.

Electric heater selection criteria

After giving preference to a flowing or storage device for heating water, it is necessary to calculate a number of additional parameters. What you should pay attention to.

Weight and size

The size of the room acts as a limiter for the volume of the tank. The weight of the unit is dictated by the wall material selected for the attachment. Frame buildings, old buildings, thin ceilings, plasterboard walls do not allow the installation of large and heavy water heaters. A flow-through DHW device has a low weight - from 2 kilograms and takes up a small volume of the room. The storage boiler, with a volume of 90 liters, can exceed the weight of 120 kg.

Number of consumers

If there are several points of consumption of hot water: kitchen sink, shower, bathroom - a storage water heater is recommended. The correct choice of the volume of the tank will provide all connected units of consumption with the required amount of hot water at the required temperature.

Power and head

A flow-through electric heater, with a power consumption of 5-8 kW, can heat from 2 to 3.5 liters of water per minute. A high-power electric unit can give 13 liters of heated water per minute, but it will require 25-28 kW. Such a load is beyond the power of the power grid in a private house or apartment building.

A gas-type water heater removes the problem of water pressure at the desired temperature. However, when the pressure in the network decreases, such a model is simply turned off.

Fuel supply

The power of the electric network and the pressure in the gas supply do not affect the operation of the boiler models.

The flow-through system is very whimsical to the fuel supply constant, up to the impossibility of operation.

Value for money

Serious capital investments will be required with the following requirements for an electrical storage device:

• several points of connection to the boiler;
• for country houses and cottages;
• low initial water pressure;
• initial low gas pressure;
• power failures, low network power.

Popular flow models in the mode of infrequent use do not require large material investments, they are ideal for small apartments, provided there are a small number of points of operation.

Mounting option

Floor type

Installing a water heater on the floor is unambiguous for boilers with a capacity of more than 110 liters.

Wall type

Placing equipment on the wall is, first of all, flow models. Water heaters with small tanks and a modest volume of the room also dictate a similar mounting option.

Best water heater manufacturers in 2024

The hot water supply equipment sales leaders are:

• Ariston;
• Electrolux;
• Bosch Thermotechnik;
• Groupe Atlantic;
• Thermex;
• Stiebel Eltron;
• AEG;
• Gorenje;
• Vaillant.

Groupe atlantic

Groupe Atlantic, as a manufacturer of electric water heaters, began its history in 1968 in France. In 2024, the company was recognized as one of the best in the production and design of equipment for hot water supply. An innovative approach, experience and professionalism in the field of progressive technologies allows Atlantic to steadily advance to the leading positions in the global market.

The latest models of boilers are equipped with a function of protection against Legionella - microorganisms from a number of pathogenic bacteria.

The latest development is an electric heater without noise, with a pump made using universal energy saving technologies.

Modern models have remote control from a smartphone and a number of specialized functions.

Smart Control is the latest technology that saves energy during standard operation without reducing the temperature of the consumed water and volumes.

For tanks, Atlantic uses DIAMOND-QUALITY ENAMEL protection, which is a guarantee against rust and scale. Steatite technology - anti-corrosion technology with "dry" type steatite heating element, thanks to which the service life is increased. The enamelled steel flask, which protects the steatite heating element, increases the heat exchange area and absorbs the noise of the heating process. The lack of direct contact with the liquid levels the sediment layer.The system eliminates the influence of external factors - ambient temperature - on the duration of the heating procedure.
