Also, according to the type of chimney system, a wall-mounted gas boiler can be: with an open combustion chamber and a closed (turbocharged) one .
As mentioned earlier, the main task of the boiler is to heat the entire house and heat water in it.
To make the right choice of a gas boiler, you need to take into account all the nuances: the heating area, practicality in use, compactness of the device, speed and quality of heating, so that even in the coldest and frostiest seasons, the equipment does its job and maintains the optimum temperature.
According to the installation method, gas boilers are divided into 2 types:
