Choosing the power of your boiler
Choosing the power of your boiler is an important step in heating your home properly. It is important to take the time to choose the power of your boiler carefully in order to benefit from optimal heating and avoid unnecessary overconsumption. Here are some tips to help you choose the power of your boiler.
Assess the area to be heated
The first step in choosing the power of your boiler is to properly assess the area to be heated. It is important to take into account the total area of your home, but also the area of the rooms to be heated. It is also important to take into account the characteristics of your house, such as insulation, the presence of windows and doors, etc. Once you have assessed the area to be heated, you can choose the power of your boiler.
Choose the power according to the area
Once you have assessed the area to be heated, you can choose the power of your boiler according to this area. It is important to consider the type of boiler you want to install. A condensing boiler will have a lower power than a conventional boiler. Here is a list of the recommended powers according to the surface to be heated:
- Area less than 50 m²: power between 6 and 10 kW
- Area between 50 and 80 m²: power between 10 and 15 kW
- Area between 80 and 120 m²: power between 15 and 20 kW
- Area greater than 120 m²: power greater than 20 kW
You can also choose a lower power than recommended if you have good insulation and sealing in your home. In this case, you can benefit from lower consumption and optimal heating.
Choose a power adapted to your needs
It is important to choose a power suitable for your needs. If you have a large family and want to heat several rooms, it is important to choose sufficient power to heat your home. It is also important to consider the type of fuel you want to use. If you want to use gas, you will have to choose a higher power than if you want to use oil. Finally, you will also need to consider the type of boiler you want to install. A condensing boiler will have a lower power than a conventional boiler.
Choose a qualified installer
Once you have chosen the power of your boiler, it is important to choose a qualified installer.
