In winter home heating and daily hot water supply, wall mounted boilers play a crucial role. Choosing a wall mounted boiler with appropriate power can not only ensure stable and comfortable indoor temperature, but also effectively reduce energy consumption. Many users are often confused about how to choose the matching power according to their own layout when choosing a wall mounted boiler. After all, excessive power of a wall mounted boiler can easily cause energy waste, while insufficient power cannot meet heating and hot water needs. Therefore, mastering the matching skills between different layouts and wall mounted boiler power is a key step in choosing a wall mounted boiler.

1、 One bedroom unit: Priority is given to choosing low-power wall mounted boilers, balancing energy conservation and basic needs

The area of a one bedroom apartment is usually between 40-60 square meters, and this type of apartment has relatively compact space with basic heating and hot water needs. When choosing a wall mounted boiler, there is no need to pursue high power. Prioritizing 18-20kW wall mounted boilers can meet the demand.

From a heating perspective, a 18-20kW wall mounted boiler can quickly increase the temperature of small spaces, and under normal insulation conditions, it can easily maintain a comfortable indoor temperature of 18-22 ℃, avoiding frequent starts and stops due to excessive power and reducing energy consumption. From the perspective of hot water supply, most one bedroom apartments are designed for single or double occupancy. The total amount of water used for daily washing and kitchen is limited. The 18-20kW wall mounted boiler has a fast heating speed and can provide stable water temperature for daily life in a timely manner, without any shortage of hot water supply.

It should be noted that if a one bedroom apartment has a high floor height (over 2.8 meters) or poor insulation effect (such as an old house without external wall insulation), the power can be appropriately increased to 20kW to ensure that the heating effect is not affected, but it does not need to exceed 22kW to avoid unnecessary energy waste.

2、 Two bedroom unit: Medium power wall mounted boiler is more suitable for balancing heating and hot water needs

The area of a two bedroom apartment is generally between 70-90 square meters. Compared to a one bedroom apartment, it has a larger space and usually includes two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom. It has more heating areas and a wider range of hot water usage scenarios. Therefore, choosing a 20-24kW wall mounted boiler is more suitable.

In terms of heating, a 20-24kW wall mounted boiler can cover the heating needs of multiple rooms. Even in the cold winter, it can quickly raise the temperature of each room to a comfortable range without causing some rooms to have low temperatures due to insufficient power. From the perspective of hot water supply, there may be situations where multiple people use hot water simultaneously in a two bedroom apartment (such as morning and evening rush hour washing, kitchen water). A 20-24kW wall mounted boiler has strong hot water heating capacity, which can avoid problems such as water temperature fluctuations or hot water interruptions, ensuring the stability of domestic hot water.

In addition, if a two bedroom apartment has a balcony and plans to include it in the heating range, or if there are two bathrooms (such as a master bathroom and a guest bathroom), a 24kW wall mounted boiler can be prioritized to ensure that both heating and hot water needs are met in extreme usage scenarios.

3、 Three bedroom unit: High power wall mounted boiler is the core, meeting the heating and high hot water needs of multiple areas

The area of a three bedroom apartment is usually between 100-140 square meters, with a large number of rooms (three bedrooms+living room+dining room+1-2 bathrooms), a large heating area, and a significant increase in the frequency and total amount of hot water usage. At this time, it is necessary to choose a 24-28 kW wall mounted boiler to support the heating and hot water needs of the whole family.

From the perspective of heating, a space of 100-140 square meters requires a high heating capacity from a wall mounted boiler. A wall mounted boiler of 24-28 kW can provide sufficient heat to quickly heat various rooms, and during long-term operation, it can maintain stable indoor temperature, avoiding fluctuations in indoor temperature caused by insufficient power and affecting living comfort. In terms of hot water supply, three bedroom households have a large number of members, and the demand for hot water is concentrated in scenes such as morning and evening washing, kitchen cooking, and clothing cleaning. The 24-28kW wall mounted boiler has high heating efficiency and can heat up sufficient hot water in a short period of time. Even if multiple people are using it at the same time, it can ensure stable water temperature and avoid the situation of hot water supply interruption.

It should be noted that if the three bedroom apartment is a duplex structure (such as a two-story three bedroom apartment), or if the insulation effect of the house is poor (such as no underfloor heating or lack of insulation on the exterior walls), it is recommended to choose a 28kW wall mounted boiler to ensure that both upper and lower floors or multiple areas can obtain sufficient heat, avoiding the problem of "upper floor hot, lower floor cold" or "local cold".

4、 Large unit/villa: ultra high power wall mounted boiler+system design, suitable for complex space requirements

Large unit layouts (with an area of over 150 square meters) or villa layouts have complex spatial structures (multiple floors, multiple rooms, multiple bathrooms, and some even have basements, terraces, garages, etc.), with heating areas far exceeding those of ordinary units. In addition, the hot water demand involves multiple scenarios (such as multiple bathrooms, kitchens, swimming pools, saunas, etc.), and ordinary power wall mounted boilers cannot meet the demand. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a super high power wall mounted boiler with an output of 28 kW or more. In some extreme cases, it may even be necessary to operate two wall mounted boilers in combination.

In terms of heating, the heating area of large apartments/villas not only includes indoor rooms, but may also involve cold prone areas such as basements and garages. Wall mounted boilers above 28kW (such as 30kW and 35kW) can provide strong heating capacity, and when combined with underfloor heating or radiator systems, can achieve temperature control in different areas, ensuring that the temperature in each area can reach the expected level. At the same time, the floor height of large apartments/villas is usually high (some villas have a floor height exceeding 3 meters), and heat is easily diffused upwards. A high-power wall mounted boiler can compensate for the heat loss caused by the floor height and maintain stable indoor temperature.

In terms of hot water supply, large apartments/villas may have multiple hot water outlets (such as 4-5 bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor swimming pools, etc.), and the amount of hot water used is large. Wall mounted boilers above 28kW need to be paired with large capacity hot water tanks to ensure sufficient hot water supply and stable water temperature when multiple hot water outlets are opened at the same time, avoiding the problem of water temperature drop caused by "water grabbing". In addition, if the villa is equipped with an independent heating circulation system (such as underfloor heating loop control), it is necessary to select a high-power wall mounted boiler and optimize the system design to ensure that the power of the wall mounted boiler matches the heating system, achieving efficient and energy-saving operation.

Choosing a wall mounted boiler with appropriate power is the key to ensuring comfortable winter heating and stable daily hot water for households, while also effectively reducing energy costs. There are differences in space size, heating needs, and hot water consumption among different layouts, and the corresponding selection of wall mounted boiler power needs to be tailored to local conditions -18-20kW for one bedroom, 20-24kW for two bedroom, 24-28kW for three bedroom, and above 28kW for large layouts/villas. It is recommended that users consider the actual area, insulation effect, number of family members, and hot water usage habits of their own unit before making a purchase, and comprehensively judge the power of the wall mounted boiler. If necessary, professional personnel can be consulted for calculation to ensure that the selected wall mounted boiler can meet the needs and achieve high efficiency and energy saving, making family life more comfortable and economical.
