Economic feasibility of boilers from Altep

Today in Ukraine, there is a tendency for energy prices (electricity and natural gas) to rise periodically, while incomes remain, let's say, in the same place. So the question logically arises: "How can we save on energy consumption?" This problem is especially relevant for owners of private houses, which usually have a larger area than apartments, and, accordingly, they spend many times more money on heating. Solid fuels such as coal, firewood, peat, wood waste, pellets, wood chips, etc. are a serious alternative to natural gas and electricity.

In today's economic environment, solid fuel boilers are becoming increasingly popular:

  • Thanks to improved technologies, they are as reliable and efficient as gas boilers in terms of reliability and combustion efficiency.
  • Automatic combustion control makes it easy and convenient to use the boiler in modern heating systems.
  • High-temperature combustion makes the combustion process as efficient as possible, ensuring complete combustion of the fuel.
  • Converting existing gas-fired boilers to solid fuel boilers does not require the construction of new boilers. It is enough to provide a storage place for alternative fuels.
  • During the reconstruction of existing boiler houses, new solid fuel boilers are installed in parallel with gas boilers, and the thermal and mechanical equipment available in the boiler house can be used for new boilers. Also, the boiler can serve as the main source of heat supply, as well as be used as a backup or additional source.

High safety, significant savings, and the ability of automated Altep boilers to operate manually even when the power is cut off - all this makes them look most favorable in comparison with gas, diesel, and, of course, electric boilers, which immediately stop generating heat when the power is cut off.

Safety and convenience are guaranteed by automation, which also maintains the temperature in the house set by you according to the mode, either by heating it to the set temperature at the right time, or by lowering it during your absence. The boilers also have a priority mode for heating hot water. You can change and control the boiler operation without visiting the boiler room - from the room, using a room controller or remotely via the Internet.

Automation and design features of the boiler almost completely eliminate human involvement in the heating process and minimize human involvement in maintenance.

When using Altep long-burning heating boilers, the heating efficiency is comparable to that of gas heating in areas located in close proximity to gas mains. If we compare traditional solid fuel boilers, diesel boilers or electric heating, the heat generated by Altep boilers is the most economical. The efficiency of such boilers is 85% or more, which guarantees complete combustion of fuel.

Let's look at how economically feasible it is to switch to solid fuel heating.

The price of solid fuels is one of the lowest in Ukraine compared to other energy sources, as they are traditional and more familiar to our country.

For heating a private house, it is worth choosing a solid fuel boiler of the Altep brand, as it is a classic, economical and most convenient option. It has a number of advantages:

  • Ability to operate on various types of solid fuels;
  • High efficiency;
  • Convenience and ease of use;
  • Long service life.

The Altep boiler is a great investment in your energy independence!
