The disadvantages of this model can be called a slight hum during operation and a low degree of protection, therefore, the convector must be used with caution in a humid environment.
Electric convectors
Unfortunately, most of the townspeople do not have the opportunity to connect to the main gas pipeline to get a cheap source of heating for their dacha. Therefore, they have the only opportunity to organize a simple and convenient heating - electric convectors.
One of the versions of the electric convector
A huge advantage of such devices is that no preparatory work is required for their installation - you just need to buy a suitable convector, plug it in and wait a little. The only small problem is to choose the right model, based on the size and configuration of the heated premises:
- it is necessary to understand that each room requires its own convector. This obvious fact, oddly enough, is not always taken into account.
- the main parameter of any electric heater is its power. On average, heating a room with normal thermal insulation requires 70-100 W per 1 m2 of area.
If the convector is the main source of heating, then the power should be higher, but if it works in conjunction with other devices, you can use a slightly less efficient device.
- electric convectors can be combined into a system with a single control to organize a heating system for several rooms.
Electric heaters of convection type have a number of advantages. This is noiselessness, environmental friendliness, low price, and very simple installation. Therefore, in most cases, you do not have to think about which convector for a summer residence is better, unless it becomes possible to conduct gas to the site.

The disadvantages of this device are a short cord and a weak design of the wheels (they fall off the chassis or quickly fail).
How much is a convector for a summer residence
Of course, this question can be classified as rhetorical: convectors are different, and the need for heat can also vary greatly. Let's try to give some estimates using the example of a room with an area of 15 m2:
- Electric convectors. You will need a heater with a capacity of 1.5 kW, the average price of a model with an electronic thermostat is 4–5 thousand rubles, a convector with a mechanical thermostat will cost half the price;
- Gas appliances are much more expensive. For example, a unit manufactured by Baxi for a similar capacity will cost about 10,000 rubles. However, one should not forget that this difference will pay off over time - gas models are much more economical than electric ones.
Summing up, we note that it is quite difficult to say unequivocally which convector is better to choose for a summer residence. It all depends on the available energy source: if gas is supplied to the house, then it makes sense to consider a gas heater - it is more expensive, but more economical to operate. If there is no gas and is not expected, then the choice is obvious - only the electric option and rather significant heating costs.

Design features include parameters such as:
- device height;
- the thickness of its body;
- the form.
Convectors of different sizes can be found on sale, but usually the height of the device varies from 20 to 50 cm, although individual models can be found much higher. The thickness of the housing is especially important for wall-mounted convectors, allowing them to be placed compactly on the surface without the risk of injury to anyone by hitting the appliance. But it is worth knowing that the thicker the device, the higher its heat transfer, therefore, when deciding on a purchase, do not go to extremes, choosing a device with a thickness "like a sheet".
As for the shape, most often convectors are produced in a rectangular design, although if you try, you can find a round one.In this case, the shape does not affect the efficiency of the device in any way.
Protective functions are important for the convector, as well as for any electrical device that carries an increased danger.
