Gas boiler "Immergaz" - the products of the Italian company of the same name, specializing in the production of wall-mounted double-circuit models. These are reliable devices with a stylish design, for which the manufacturer provides a five-year warranty.
IMMERGAS was founded in 1954. Her slogan is "Two hundred horses heating." The company promotes the latest technology, focusing on cost-effectiveness and reliability. The model range of attachments includes more than 8 dozen modifications. Immergaz products are not as widely represented on the Russian market as their competitors, Baxi and Ferroli. A limited number of models are supplied to Russia: only those that are adapted to local climatic conditions. That is why there are very few reviews of Immergas products on the network.
Advantages and disadvantages of Immergaz boilers
pros
- Compactness. A wall-mounted unit always takes up less space than a floor-mounted unit. Does not need a separate room. It easily fits in the kitchen or in a room that meets the requirements for rooms in which gas equipment is installed.
- Multifunctionality. Italian devices are able to function autonomously, without requiring regular user intervention, they fully control their work.
- High quality assembly, components, materials.
- The minimum noise during the work.
- Availability of service in the regions.
- Positive feedback from experts.
Minuses
- Cost. Equipment assembled in Italian factories is quite expensive.
- The high cost of spare parts. Many components and parts need to be ordered and expected delivery.
- Inconvenient control - by pressing the buttons, you have to make an effort.
- Response to power surges. The need to purchase a voltage stabilizer.
- The lack of a chimney in the kit, it is bought additionally.
What is special about them
Immergaz products are not cheap, but if you correlate the positions in the “price-quality” formula, this is exactly the option that many need. The manufacturer offers:
- Single-circuit and dual-circuit versions.
- Single-circuit with built-in boiler 40/60 liters.
- Classic and condensation.
- With open (atmospheric) and closed (turbocharged) firebox.
Condensing apparatus scare away high prices. Gas in the Russian Federation is cheap, and the main plus of condensation versions is high efficiency. Fuel savings of 20-30% weakly attract our customers, so few are willing to overpay for a gas boiler. But in Europe, where gas is hundreds percent more expensive, "capacitors" are very popular.
What does Immergaz offer?
Boilers with one circuit Nike Mini X 3E and Eolo Mini X 3E only heat the house, they are not designed for heating hot water. The cost of single-circuit versions is slightly lower than double-circuit ones. The first cost between 30,000–35,000 rubles, with two circuits - 40,000–95,000 rubles. The price depends on the capacity of the equipment and its efficiency.
Options with two circuits are in great demand: users are attracted by the possibility of providing hot water. At the same time, all single-circuit modifications require the connection of a BKN (indirect heating boiler).
Eolo series - dual circuit with a closed chamber:
- "Eolo mini." Two heat exchangers.
- "Eolo is old." One bithermic.
Nike Open Fire Series:
- Nike Mini 24 E. Two separate heat exchangers.
- Nike Star 24 3R. One copper bithermic.
The Star series has one bithermic heat exchanger, while Nike has two separate ones. One of the copper works for heating, the second of the stainless steel - for hot water supply (DHW).
Installation and operation
In order for the Italian gas equipment to work properly and without fail, specialists must deal with its installation. They also carry out the setup and the first launch. The device must match the heated area. Each device is accompanied by instructions with a detailed description of the installation process. How to mount the mounted boiler:
- The device is attached to the wall.
- They make the grounding of the device - it will protect it during thunderstorms, and connect it to the mains.
- Install the expansion tank. If forced circulation of the coolant is provided, install the pump.
- Connect to the heating system.
- They test the system for leaks, the instructions describe this process.
- Remove the oxygen accumulated in the pipes.
- When the connection is completed, perform the first start.
Device
Design Features:
- All modifications are equipped with Grundfos circulation pumps (Denmark) - they provide heat carrier movement, and a SIT gas valve (Italy).
- Lead pipes (gas and water) copper.
- There is an expansion tank of 6 liters.
- Equipped with a digital screen that displays the settings - the user can monitor the temperature, pressure, winter / summer mode. It also displays error codes that notify the user of malfunctions.
- All versions have NTS temperature sensors, traction sensors and overheat protection.
- If desired, an external thermostat is connected, a simple mechanical or "intelligent" one, which allows you to program the operating mode for a week in advance.
All models are equipped with:
- pump anti-lock;
- anti-lock three-way valve;
- frost protection.
The principle of operation of Immergas boilers is quite simple, and their management does not require special knowledge. The display shows all information about settings and errors.
How to choose a boiler "Immergaz"
Choosing a wall-mounted double-circuit boiler, the buyer needs to decide on the following points:
- Power - it is selected based on the heated area. Usually for every 10 m² there is 1000 watts.
- Type of combustion chamber - open or closed. For apartments, turbo versions with a closed firebox are more suitable.
- The number of circuits. Take it only for heating, you need one circuit; want hot water - two circuits.
- The exhaust gas removal method is forced or natural. For apartment owners, forced draft is more suitable, you just need to buy a coaxial pipe. Residents of private houses can install models with natural draft, but they need to equip a chimney.
- Heat exchanger design. The most practical option is two separate heat exchangers. This option allows you to quickly heat water and save gas. The plate-type secondary heat exchanger provides uniform heating of water and elimination of overheating.

Reviews
EOLO Star 23kw: Rodion G., Suzdal
Put two years ago. Before buying, I found out maximum information about this manufacturer, or rather, about its products. I have an apartment - 75 squares. Heats well, moderate gas consumption. Water heating is instant, even at low pressure. The temperature of hot water can be set to the nearest degree. Simple control, you just need to set it up correctly, and then automation controls everything. Protected against power surges. Almost silent. Of the minuses - the radiator temperature setting failed.
EOLO Mini 24kW: Ilya T., Urzhum
Simple installation. Wall. The front cover can be easily removed to clean the burners. It does not heat up at work, there is a digital interface. Like the self-diagnosis system, all problems are easily decrypted by error codes. There is one drawback - it is expensive.
Immergaz boilers have earned the right to be the best among Italian competitors and one of the best in the European market. This is a reliable gas equipment, equipped with the latest technology and adapted to Russian conditions. The company supplies the domestic market with the most popular models among ordinary consumers - wall-mounted heaters with a DHW circuit, designed for heating residential buildings and apartments.
