The German company Vaillant has been developing products for climate systems since the second half of the 19th century. Today, the manufacturer locates facilities around the world and makes millions in profits by selling practical and ergonomic equipment. The eloBLOCK VE 12 electric boiler costs a lot, about $750. Let's see what features the unit is endowed with.

New design, old functionality

The product of a rectangular shape with dimensions of 740x410x315 mm and a weight of 24 kg is attached to the wall in any convenient place in the room: in the kitchen, in a niche, in a pantry. In 2019, the unit changed its design, so it became even thinner and sleeker. The device is equipped with a circulation pump and an 8-liter expansion tank. On the front panel there is an electronic control panel with a small display, which displays the temperature of the coolant in the circuit and error codes in case of malfunctions of the device.

Lots of heat

Heating elements with a power of 6 kW can work together or alternately, which is convenient when you need, for example, to reduce power with the advent of spring. The boiler is able not only to heat a room up to 120 square metres. m, but also to adjust the heating power from 2 to 12 kW in increments of 2 kW.

The unit can be connected to a thermostat to automatically provide a comfortable air temperature in the house, as well as to an indirect heating boiler, which easily solves the issue of hot water for domestic needs. Support for summer mode allows the boiler to work only to provide hot water.

Complete security

Circuit breakers prevent overheating of individual sections of the heating system, freezing of the liquid in the circuit, as well as overheating of the coolant.

In general, Vaillant eloBLOCK VE 12 is a good choice, as it fully meets the user's needs for heat and hot water, regardless of the season. But pricey. Almost the same Protherm Skat 12K will cost $100 less.
