Quartz heater: reviews and reviews of popular manufacturers

The article will consider in detail the characteristics of a device such as a quartz heater: consumer reviews of popular manufacturers and their products, the main criteria for choosing a quality device, a comparative characteristic of infrared and monolithic structures in terms of the main parameters that are important to buyers.

Quartz heater: reviews and selection of the optimal device

The current market is oversaturated with a variety of heating devices. Quartz structures stand out from the total mass of heaters due to their practicality. They have many advantages, although, like many other products, they are not without disadvantages.

Quartz heating devices are considered to be electric heating equipment, which partially contains quartz. Some structural elements are made from this mineral. Depending on the type of device and its modification, quartz can contain completely different elements.

The principle of operation of the quartz sand heater

Each type of quartz appliance used to heat a home has its own principle of operation.But this principle is based on the same scheme of action: the temperature of the heating element increases due to the particles of electricity that pass through it, causing high resistance.

There are two types of quartz structures on the market: infrared and monolithic. According to the principle of operation, quartz devices are also divided into two types: inductive and resistive. A distinctive feature of the latter is the absence of magnetic fields that have a negative effect on the human body. In addition, such heaters do not contribute to the heating of metal accessories on clothes (buttons, zippers). This usually turns into a problem if you inadvertently get too close to a working device.

Note! The electric type of heating is one of the most productive options for heating a home: the efficiency of the equipment in some cases reaches almost 95%. This means that the device works off the money spent on electricity without loss.

Thanks to modern technologies, electricity costs can be reduced. There are many ways to economically use electricity for heating while maximizing the benefits of this energy.

For a quartz instrument, it is recommended to purchase a temperature sensor with an automatic control system. The sensor reacts to temperature changes in the room and is triggered by turning the equipment on or off depending on the settings that you can set yourself. This scheme allows you to reduce costs by 1/3.

Monolithic quartz heater device

The monolithic version of the design (MKTEN) has another name - tiled. In production, its manufacture is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. Preparation of a mortar, which consists of marble chips (crushed dolomite), white kaolin clay and quartz sand in different proportions.
2. Pouring the mixture into flat molds over the nichrome spiral. This material is a chromium-nickel metal alloy.
3. Composition ramming.
4. Drying procedure.
5. Sintering the product.

In its finished form, the device is a kind of equivalent to the design of an oil heater, only dry. When the device is connected to the mains, the nichrome coil heats up. Following it, the entire stove heats up.

Note! The properties of quartz sand are similar to those of oil. The material in a working device contributes not only to warming up the air in the room, but also serves as a heat accumulator. Therefore, even after switching off, the heater will give off heat to the room for 1.5 hours.

Infrared Quartz Heater Device for Home

Infrared designs of quartz devices are equipped with a heat-emitting element in the form of a tungsten coil. It is in a glass tube. The glass flask is a preventive measure to prevent unpleasant odors. The spiral made of tungsten is red-hot. If it were not for the glass tube, dust particles falling on the spiral would constantly burn out, filling the room with an unpleasant odor.

It is most advisable to use an infrared type of equipment for fixed heating. It is best to install such a device in the living room, where there is a TV, or near the workplace. Of course, the room will not warm up completely, but you can achieve significant electricity savings by purchasing a unit with a low power level.

The most significant advantage of such a device is its comfortable operation.The design is compact, mobile, and in the process of heat release, the air in the room does not burn out, as is usually the case with convection products, which require the purchase of air humidifiers. In this case, the natural humidity of the room is preserved, due to which, even after a long warming up of the room, people still breathe easily.

Which heaters are better: infrared or quartz monolithic structures

Infrared heaters can be equipped with four types of heating element: quartz, halogen, ceramic or micathermic. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, but the principle of operation is the same. Therefore, further we will consider the features of infrared devices with a quartz heating element and quartz monolithic structures.

Despite the many advantages that combine these devices, each of them heats the room in its own way. For this reason, heaters must be selected taking into account their own needs and room conditions:

• its size;
• air temperature;
• the presence or absence of good insulation.

The monolithic unit heats the room using the convection effect. During this, a gradual increase in air temperature occurs in all points of the room. When heated, the air expands, its density decreases, so it rises. The monolithic heater first heats up the air gap opposite to itself, after which, due to the rise of hot streams upward, each subsequent layer is heated.

Note! Heating is slow, but the device is able to maintain a normal temperature in a room measuring 16-18 m³.

The operation of an infrared heater does not involve the use of the convection effect. In the process of heating a room, thermal radiation is intensely transmitted, which has a directional character of propagation. Heat is not dissipated around the room due to the fact that the device is equipped with a focusing reflector that reflects it in the desired direction.

Thermal radiation is formed by a quartz bulb, inside which a spiral is sealed. In this case, objects in front of the structure are heated, and not air. In other words, the lamp will heat people and things that are directly in front of it in the radiation range.

The best appliance is determined based on whether the customer requires uniform heating of the room or locally directed heat.

Monolithic or infrared quartz heater: which is better to choose

Infrared devices will be useful in those rooms where there is no normal thermal insulation. For insulated rooms with minimal heat loss, it is better to take monolithic heaters. When the operating conditions of the room are determined, you can proceed to compare the characteristics of these units.

In terms of weight, monolithic structures are significantly inferior to infrared devices. Their weight is 10-12 kg. But tile heaters are very compact. Standard dimensional parameters are 60x35 cm, while the thickness of the structure does not exceed 25 mm. Product dimensions, depending on the manufacturer, may differ from those indicated, but not significantly.

Note! If you intend to use the devices in combination with thermostat, professionals will recommend buying a monolithic quartz heater without a plug.

If a tile unit is purchased to order, many manufacturers give buyers the right to choose the material from which the protective frame will be made. The most budgetary option is aluminum. The highest quality frames are made of steel coated with a protective coating.

Infrared models are more functional. They allow you to adjust the power level in the range of 1-3 kW. The reflector contains 500 W lamps. The possibility of accurate regulation of heating depends on their number. The main thing is not to overdo it so that the emitter does not harm the people around it.

Operation of a quartz heater: is it harmful

If we talk about infrared emitters and their dangers, it is worth taking a closer look at the temperature capabilities of these units and the degree of effect on humans.

Modern heater designs fall into three categories:

• 300 ° С - long-wave emitters that are not capable of harming human health (provided that the rays are not directed at a person at a right angle);
• 600 ° С - the wave range practically coincides with the human body;
• 800 ° С - aggregates with short-wave action (this type of radiation can be extremely dangerous, since it has the ability to penetrate the skin of the human body).

The degree of harm of a quartz heater to health can be compared with the effect of sunlight on a person. In both cases, the thermal component is based on the principle of wave propagation of the infrared spectrum. In other words, if you are briefly exposed to radiation in the range of 10-20 microns, health will not be harmed. Rather, on the contrary, the body is toned.

It is better to refrain from prolonged stay under an infrared heater, as this can lead to burns on the skin.

Useful advice! To reduce the negative effects of infrared radiation, it is recommended to aim the device at furniture or other surfaces in the room. Direct presence of a person in front of the heater is allowed, but no more than 20 minutes. Particularly vulnerable areas of the body are the eyes and head.

The price of quartz heaters Tepleko, TeploPlit and Texture

Monolithic structures are characterized by long service life (up to 25 years). Moreover, this period of operation is accompanied by a minimum number of breakdowns. As a rule, the main part of breakdowns occurs on the power cord, which, if necessary, is very easy to replace.

Now you can calculate the amount of required electrical energy for one unit for the heating season: 1800 h x 0.4 kW = 720 kW / h.

Taking into account that 6 devices are required to heat the house, and the cost of 1 kW is 2 rubles. you can easily calculate what the total costs will be:
720 kW / h x 6 (heaters) x 2 rubles. = 8640 RUB in year.

Average price of monolithic quartz heaters for home:

Brand name	power, kWt	Dimensions, cm	Action area, m	price, rub.
Tepleko	0,4	2,5х35х60	8-10	2300-2600
TeploPlit	0,45-0,5		12	2400-3000
Texture	0,4		10	2300-4950

 

Prices depend on the characteristics of a particular model, its design, components and power.

Price of quartz heaters for home with infrared radiation

Most infrared emitters are of a floor-mounted design. For convenience, some models are equipped with a stand that adjusts the height of the device.

Note! On sale you can find units with imitation of decor in the interior or furnishings. Particularly popular are appliances made in the form of bedside tables made of natural wood or chipboard. Heaters in such housings are no less effective than conventional ones, but their appearance is significantly improved.

Additional advantages of emitters:

1. The thermostat ensures high efficiency and economy.
2. In case of overheating or overturning of the structure, the device is automatically turned off.
3. The unit is equipped with a timer that allows you to control the operating time of the device.

Average prices for infrared quartz emitters:

Brand name	Model instrument	Power, kWh	Dimensions, cm	Action area, m	price, rub.
Sinbo	SFH-3310	1	14x23x43	15	1300-1400
Noirot	Royat-2 1800	1,8	11x12x55	15	8100-8300
Stiebel	Eltron IW 120	1,2	8.5x14.5x53.5	15	4200-4500
Prorab	QH 800	0,8	18x35x47	8	1000-1500
AEG	IR Premium 6000	6	110x27x110	36	145000-147000
Comfort	K-19N	2	18x35x47	10	1500-2000

 

Comparative characteristics of infrared and monolithic devices

Monolithic models have a standard size, which, depending on the manufacturer, can vary within 1-2 cm.

Main characteristics of heaters with monolithic construction:

1. Product weight - is in the range of 10-12 kg (depending on the material from which the structure is made).
2. The surface temperature in operating mode is 95 ° С.
3. The power consumption level is 400-500 W.
4. The operating temperature of the heater is 120 ° C.
5. The rate at which the device cools down is about 1 ° C / min.
6. The recommended room size is 16-18 m³.

Infrared emitters have a wider range of sizes. Buyers have a significant choice in terms of the weight of the structure. These devices have a lightweight body from 1 to 3 kg.

The wavelength depends on the operating temperature of the emitter:

• from 300 to 600 ° C - length is 2.5-50 microns;
• from 600 to 800 ° C - the length is 0.7-2.5 microns.

Household models consume from 1 to 3 kW. Several heating elements can be installed in one unit. The power of each of them is 400-500 watts.

Note! To provide users with the ability to control the temperature, manufacturers have equipped each of these heating elements with an individual switch.

Operation of quartz heaters: negative and positive reviews

Consumer opinions differ regarding infrared and monolithic designs. Some of the reviews are positive, others, on the contrary, talk about the shortcomings of certain products.

Here is some of them:

“Last year I bought several monolithic home heaters. I decided on this only because at every corner I heard only about the merits of these products. But he became disillusioned with them very quickly. This is not to say that they are impractical. And the savings from them are significant. But I did not feel the warmth as such in the house. Therefore, I installed some of the monolithic models in the living room, and purchased an infrared heater for the bedroom. Although it acts locally, you don't have to wait for the whole room to warm up. "

Vitaly Andrienko, Yekaterinburg

“Looking with my husband where to buy a quartz heater for a summer residence, we spent a lot of time until we decided on the right option. We opted for a tiled heater. The devices proved to be excellent. Of course, I had to spend money on a thermostat, but now the energy consumption is minimal and completely under control. With such equipment, it is not scary to leave the cottage for a week. In winter, when the operating temperature of the heater is 10 ° C, the house is insured against freezing. I am very happy with my purchase. "

Tatiana Smirnova, Moscow

“I personally prefer infrared heaters. Despite their price, they fully justify themselves. The energy consumption is very low. When the centralized heating system in the apartment is not doing its job, I simply bring the temperature to the desired level using the heater. "

Igor Skorodko, St. Petersburg

Quartz heaters TeplEko: reviews, negative and positive aspects, properties

In the modern market for heating devices, there are a large number of different devices. The total number of models exceeds a hundred. In addition to standard and common units, you can buy a Tepleko quartz heater, which is one of the newest and most original modifications.

Note! The TeplEko brand appeared on the market in 2010. By 2012, the products of this manufacturer were widely known and distributed.

The general device of the heater and the principle of its operation

This type of device is a monolithic rectangular plate. The solution for the manufacture of the Tepleko heater is based on quartz sand. At the same time, there is no reinforcing mesh inside the slab. The product has a relief surface that is capable of absorbing moisture. Moreover, the body part of the heater can be safely painted in any color you like, because it is absolutely safe. Thus, the structure can be decorated in the same color scheme as the room where the device will be installed.

The heater is connected to the electrical network using a regular socket. On the back of the structure there is a short cable cord about 1 m long. Manufacturers do not complete the cable with a plug, so this part will have to be bought and fixed by yourself. The power button is located near the cable exit point.

Fixing the slab on the wall is carried out using brackets. There are special floor stands on sale that can be purchased as an add-on. The one-piece block has a heating element inside in the form of a nichrome spiral, which heats up under the influence of current and gives off heat to the structure. Due to the special wear-resistant wire, the heater can be switched on throughout the day. In other words, it can be used as the main heat source in your home.

Note! The material used to make the slab has a high level of inertness. This means that the structure heats up for a long time and at the same time also cools down for a long time. The temperature reaches its maximum value within 30 minutes.

Comparative characteristics and price of heaters TeplEko and TeploPlit

In order to fully assess the capabilities of Tepleko products, it is worthwhile to study in detail the main technical characteristics of the devices, comparing them with the indicators of heaters of another popular brand.

Comparative characteristics of TeploPlit and TeplEko devices:

Characteristic	Manufacturer
	TeploPlit	Tepleko
Power consumption (day), kW	2,55	2,5
Full cooling time, h	2,2	5
Power level, W	450	400
Structure weight, kg	11	12
price, rub.	2500	2300

 

This product belongs to two competing brands in the panel heater category. Judging by the table, heaters of the TeplEko company have a lower power level in comparison with TeploPlit devices. But in the process of their manufacture, the manufacturer uses a large amount of quartz sand, due to which the accumulating capabilities of the plates are improved.

With similar design indicators, TeploPlit retains heat from heating much worse, despite its cost.

Advantages and disadvantages of TeplEko quartz heaters

With regard to Tepleko quartz heaters, consumer reviews are not entirely unambiguous. Buyers leave both negative and positive comments.

Based on the general opinion, the following positive aspects of the products were highlighted:

• a long cooling period, as a result, the stove generates heat for a long time even after turning off;
• the ability to paint the surface;
• the device does not dry out the air;
• reduced level of electricity consumption.

Note! Despite the fact that the manufacturer positions its devices as energy-saving, in comparison with convectors, the savings are not so great (based on reviews).

There are much more cons:

• heavy construction weight;
• there are no handles on the body of the device, which complicates the process of transferring and installing a flat plate;
• in case of insufficient drying, the TeplEko quartz heater beats with current;
• the brackets supplied with the device do not allow you to securely fix the device on the wall. Particular difficulties arise when mounting on a thin partition;

• it takes a whole hour to warm up the device;
• if there is an increased level of humidity in the room, cracks form on the surface of the slab;
• the manufacturer did not provide for the enclosing elements that prevent human contact with the structure. Taking into account the fact that the switched on device heats up very much, using the heater without a protective screen in a children's room can be dangerous;
• limited equipment. For comfortable use, you need to buy a lot of additional parts.

Additional accessories for the heater

In addition to the protective screen, you will need to purchase a number of additional parts for the full operation of the Tepleko heater. You can buy them from the manufacturer.

Average prices for components:

Part type	price, rub.
Power level regulator (thyristor)	2000
Metal screen	1000
Smart socket	5500
Reflective film (foil)	150
Temperature regulator	1200
Hanging dryer	700
Stand (floor)	600

 

In practice, only a stand, a protective shield and a temperature regulator will benefit. The rest of the components are optional, they only increase the level of comfort of use.

Useful advice! If the device is supposed to be installed on walls, a film with a reflective effect will not be superfluous. It will direct heat in the right direction.

The smart plug increases the functionality of the heater. With it, the user can turn off or turn on the device via a voice call or text message (SMS).

Installation and operating recommendations

Installation of a quartz heater structure is carried out as follows:

1. The optimal place is selected where the heater will be placed. The most suitable area for this is under a window or opposite a door (opposite side). It is recommended to indent from the floor to a height of at least 10 cm.
2. A film with a reflective effect is glued over the wall. It can be purchased from both the heater manufacturer and any other company. It doesn't really matter. The film is glued so that the monolithic device is completely covered with small projections on each side (literally a few centimeters). Thanks to this, the heat will be completely reflected into the room, and not wasted on heating the wall.
3. After the area for placing the structure is outlined, the installation of fasteners is carried out: 1 pc. in the upper part of the case, 2 pcs. down below.
4. The plate is being installed.
5. The temperature controller is connected. It is very important that it is located in a convenient location.

It remains only to connect the device to the electrical network. It is very important to "dry" the appliance to avoid cracks on the stove. To do this, it is enough to leave the heater running for 2-3 hours.Since the material of construction has a high ability to absorb moisture, this procedure should not be neglected.

Useful advice! To completely eliminate the likelihood of cracks, it is recommended to leave the device in a room with a dry microclimate for several days, and preferably for 1-2 weeks before use.

Features of quartz heaters TeploPlit

Quartz devices of the TeploPlit company are made on the basis of dolomite (crushed marble stone), quartz sand and kaolin (white clay). These components are mixed in the production in the required proportions, rammed and sintered under the influence of high temperature.

The heating element, which is installed inside, is completely isolated from contact with oxygen and the environment. Thanks to this, the part is not subject to destruction under the influence of oxidation processes that occur when it comes into contact with air.

The manufacturer chose a material called nichrome for the manufacture of the heating element. The working temperature of this metal, which is an alloy of nickel and chromium, reaches 980 ° C, which indicates the high resistance of the spiral to heating. The actual temperature inside the device does not exceed 120 ° C, so the material retains its strength characteristics over a very long service life.

Features of the assortment of TeploPlit products

The company provides consumers with the opportunity to buy TeploPlit quartz heaters of two types:

1. The TeploPlit model is a quartz device equipped with an aluminum frame.
2. The TeploPlit-M model is a quartz heater equipped with a white powder coated frame. The surface of the frame is designed to match the color of the monolithic slab.

The manufacturer has made sure that the devices are not only economical, but also attractive in appearance. The front part of the case is covered with textured designs in the form of ornaments.

All units are available in one color - white. Buyers will be able to paint the structure on their own in the shade they like. To do this, you will need to purchase a special paint with heat-resistant properties.

Note! All corners and edges of the heater are rounded, so there are no restrictions on installing the device in any premises. The design is completely safe for operation.

Consumers can buy TeploPlit quartz heaters in the following modifications:

1. Plugless constructions - a power cable is provided. Its length is 0.5 m. This cable is designed to connect the device to the system or to the temperature controller.
2. Device with plug - equipped with a 1 m power cable. This design can be portable. The device is completely independent from a single electric heating system.

Technical characteristics and capabilities of heaters

The design of the heater is able to withstand a long period of operation without interruption. This ability allows the device to be left on without the fear that the heating element will fail. If the mains voltage is 220-230 V, the heating temperature of the spring surface will be about 95-98 ° C. This indicator is the average value obtained as a result of taking measurements from 9 different points.

The temperature of a monolithic heater can be raised above the specified level. This will require a significant increase in the voltage in the power grid, and for a sufficiently long period.

Heater specifications:

1. The size of the structure is 2.5x35x60 cm.
2. Total weight - 11 kg.
3. The power level is 450 W.
4. The operating voltage of the network is 220 V.
5. Full heating time - 20 minutes. (heating from 10 to 95 ° C).
6. The maximum possible heating temperature is 95-98 ° С.
7. The cooling rate of the structure is 1 ° С every 1.8 minutes.
8. The recommended room size is 16-18 m³.
9. The level of daily consumption of electric energy in combination with a thermostat is 2.54 kW.

The standard package includes the heater itself, a set of brackets for its installation (3 pcs.) And a package of documents.

Note! The power cable, which is provided in the design, is capable of withstanding 380V loads and temperatures of 190 ° C. In this case, the sheath of the cord is not prone to ignition.

Quartz heaters TeploPlit: consumer reviews

According to consumers, the products of the TeploPlit company, although they deserve the right to exist, have several significant shortcomings.

Customer Feedback:

"I live in the flat. The capabilities of the centralized heating system are quite enough to feel comfortable even in winter. The exception is several weeks when the temperature outside the windows drops dramatically. This year I refused to use the fan heater - the air is constantly dry from it, there is a lot of noise and my head starts to hurt. As an alternative, I decided to try the TeploPlit quartz heater. The room warms up well, but very slowly. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the device ”.

Victoria Demchenko, Yekaterinburg

“I was very disappointed in the design of the TeploPlit heater. On the site, the designs look neat, in fact, quite the opposite. The panel heats up too much, so they refused to install it in the nursery. Although, in fact, it was there that the device was bought. The only thing that made the heater happy is its low energy consumption ”.

Sergey Matvienko, Moscow

“The manufacturer clearly did not finalize the production of the panel. Upon operation, the following shortcomings were identified: electric shocks, cracks appear on the structure and the heat capacity is much lower than the declared indicator. The lack of additional equipment - a stand, a screen - is also very upsetting. I see no reason to pay the same money for it as for the device itself. As for me, it is better to get an infrared heater. "

Evgeny Sotnikov, Moscow

Features of Quartz Texture Heaters

The Texture company has been using its own technology for the manufacture of quartz heaters for 17 years. These designs are inherent in environmental friendliness, safety and efficiency.

Note! Compared to standard models, Texture heaters can save up to 80% of your electricity bill.

The manufacturer offers consumers two series of heaters:

1. Delux - heater designs have a restrained monochromatic color, covered with a small but voluminous texture.
2. VIP - the collection's decor is based on natural materials: the slab quite realistically imitates the surfaces of natural stones and minerals.

Quartz monolithic slabs from the manufacturer Texture contain at least 95% quartz sand.

Technical features of the devices:

1. The size of the structure is 2.5x35x60 cm.
2. Total weight - 10 kg.
3. The level of daily consumption of electrical energy is 2 kW.
4. The recommended room size is 14-18 m³.
5. Service life - 50 years (subject to correct operation).

In constructions, the heating element is completely sealed. It is covered with a non-combustible dielectric with high temperature resistance. Conductive parts are also completely hidden for safety reasons. The device can be safely left on for a long time, since it is characterized by complete safety.

During operation, the combustion of dust particles and oxygen in the heated room is excluded.

Advantages of Monolithic Texture heaters

Monolithic structures of Texture quartz heaters have the following advantages:

• cost-effectiveness - due to the connection of a temperature controller, it is possible to reduce the consumption of one device to 2.5 kW per day;
• hypoallergenic - the room maintains comfortable microclimate indicators for living;
• environmental friendliness - materials of natural origin are used in the production of structures. The heaters are recommended for use in rooms with increased requirements for sanitation;
• safety - the 1st class of fire safety was assigned to the heaters;
• low cost - in comparison with infrared and convection models, the cost of a monolithic plate is about 20-50% lower (taking into account all the costs of electricity and the purchase of a heater);

• efficiency - at a low level of consumption, the device is characterized by a high efficiency factor, up to 98%. In this case, heat flows are evenly distributed throughout the room.

Note! Installation of the structure can be performed at any convenient angle and absolutely on any surface. In terms of installation, the monolithic slab is versatile.

Operation of quartz heaters Texture: customer reviews

Despite the many advantages that the manufacturer notes, customer reviews regarding Texture monolithic structures are practically no different from comments about similar products from other brands:

“Not only does the heater fail to cope with the full-fledged heating function, an unpleasant odor is emitted during the heating process. Perhaps the paint used by the manufacturer does not quite meet the technical design requirements. When the stove is fully heated, it is simply impossible to be in the room. "

Vitaly Syroezhkin, St. Petersburg

“I was attracted to Texture heaters by their attractive appearance. Compared to TeplEko, the design is much better, and there are much more design options. It takes a long time to warm, but, as I understand it, this is the trouble with all monolithic devices. There are no particular complaints, but I did not notice the high quality either. "

Alexander Semenovich, Rostov-on-Don

“Weak heater. Apparently, the high price is due not to the quality of the product, but to its design. Before that I tried Tepleko devices in the country. The problems are the same everywhere. The structures are clearly not enough to qualify for the title of the main source of heat in the house. Pampering, and nothing more. Why do we need this energy savings at all, if monolithic quartz structures are not able to provide an acceptable temperature in the house? "

Igor Arkhipov, Yekaterinburg

General characteristics of manufacturers: choosing the best device

The choice of the optimal device will depend on what tasks are assigned to the heater. As a rule, consumers buy monolithic models for country houses and summer cottages. Infrared are suitable for industrial purposes or for locally heating certain areas of a room.

Note! On the technical side, monolithic quartz devices are recognized as the best. The stove is not as easy to damage as the glass lamp in the infrared emitter. In addition, a tile heater can be installed even in a wooden house without fear of starting a fire.

The country of origin also influences the choice of the heater. The ratings of quartz models were formed as follows:

1. Heaters of foreign production - have high quality workmanship and assembly, endowed with good functionality. The optimal manufacturer is UFO (Sweden) and Fakir (Germany).
2. Russian companies - the most popular among domestic brands are manufacturers of monolithic boards Texture, TeplEko and TeploPlit. But, as practice and consumer reviews show, these products are not able to compete with infrared devices - neither in terms of quality, nor in terms of heating.
3. Chinese companies - produce products with a very low cost, but this does not greatly affect the popularity of devices. Heaters fail very quickly, have a limited service life, and repair is complicated by the lack of component parts on the market.

During the operation of any heater, it is very important to follow safety rules. First, don't overload the power grid. It is better if the device is fed through an automatic machine. Secondly, it is strictly forbidden to leave a working structure overnight. The exceptions are heaters equipped with temperature sensors and thermostats, which automatically adjust the operation of the device depending on the climatic conditions in the room.

Infrared quartz devices have been on the market for a long time and have already proven themselves on the good side. Nevertheless, their cost is much higher than that of monolithic models. The latter are good if budget heating is required with minimal equipment purchase costs.
