Recently, many residents of apartment buildings are moving from a central heating system to an autonomous one. This is due to the fact that when using heat from housing and communal services, you can wait a long time for the onset of the heating season, or the temperature in the apartment is not high enough and you still have to buy additional heaters. In addition, the central pipe line in old prefabricated houses often fails: pipes break through, constantly change, as a result of which the owners can only wait until they give heat again. In order not to depend on public services, you can make electric heating in the apartment with your own hands and independently regulate the temperature regime of housing. We will talk further about how to carry out the installation and what heaters to use for this!
Keep in mind!
It should immediately be noted that electric heating in an apartment will cost much more than city water heating. This is due to the high power of heaters and high electricity tariffs. Despite this, if you correctly calculate the power of electric heaters, set the economical mode of operation and correctly place the devices in the rooms, you can significantly save on the electricity bill and use an individual heating system without overpayments. Next, we will tell you which electric heaters are best to choose and where to install them correctly so that the work is efficient.
It is equally important to immediately highlight the pros and cons of electric heating in the apartment. As for the advantages, this, of course, is ease of connection, high efficiency of heaters, durability and small dimensions, which significantly saves free space in the room. In addition, the installation of electric heating does not require additional permits, which take a lot of time and nerves. The disadvantages, as you understand, are the high material costs for utilities and the replacement of wiring, if necessary.

Selecting the right system
Depending on the area of \u200b\u200bthe living space and the quality of the wall insulation, a suitable option for autonomous electric heating of the apartment is selected. If you are the owner of a one-room or two-room Khrushchev, the system can handle it in combination with electric convectors or IR panels. Combinations with infrared heaters are more profitable and efficient, because heat radiation will be directed from top to bottom and all heat will circulate in the lower part of the room. Heating an apartment with electric convectors is better only because the devices do not dry the air and do not have a negative impact on a person's well-being. There are many reviews that IR heaters with constant radiation adversely affect health, which is their disadvantage. 
The rest you can find in the corresponding article. Nevertheless, as statistics show, in 2017 such devices are actively bought for domestic use!
As for the electric underfloor heating, it is really very popular and effective. Anyone can do it, even a kettle in an electrician. In addition, only heated paths in the apartment can be made from the material, and not laying a film over the entire floor area. This heating option will positively reflect on energy savings and at the same time will effectively warm the room. 
If you live in a three-room or four-room dwelling, then it would be more reasonable to use the connection of electric water heating in the apartment. This is due to the large total area of the rooms, which will require a full-fledged, powerful heating system. For example, if the area is 130 sq.m., with the calculation of 1 kW / 10 sq.m. it will be necessary to install no less than a 13-kilowatt bundle of electric heaters. Of course, in winter you will pay a lot of money for the operation of an individual electric heating system. In addition, to use this option, the wiring must be powerful, able to withstand high current loads. In this case, you can not do without, which, again, will hit your budget. At the same time, if you use water radiators powered by an electric boiler, the heating will be autonomous and less expensive, which will allow you to "kill two birds with one stone." 
In order for you to correctly install autonomous electric heating in an apartment with your own hands, we recommend that you take into account the following tips from experts:
How to save on electricity
Well, the last thing I would like to talk about is how to make electric heating in an apartment cheap, but at the same time effective. The first thing you should consider is that installation without thermostats will not be profitable. It is temperature controllers, and especially electronic ones, that allow you to set the optimal temperature regime without overpaying for excess heat.
Another way to save money is to connect multi-tariff energy meters. We considered you. Once again, we note that for each region the benefit may be different. Still, there are more positive reviews about such devices. Owners of two-tariff electricity meters recommend turning on heaters at night so that during the day, while everyone is working, autonomous heating is turned off. Thus, you can save up to half of the electricity consumed, which makes autonomous electric heating in the apartment not very expensive. If you decide to install such meters, be sure to analyze the tariffs for 2017 on the Internet for your city, on the basis of which you will understand whether such devices are profitable or not.
