Annotation: The article shows the results of the analysis of thermal modes of heating appliances in order to develop reliable methods of heat energy consumption. Thermal regime of the premises is described as using non-stationary heat balance differential equations and using equivalent electrical circuits. We study the cases of electric circuits of the first and second order. Our experiments confirm the correctness of the chosen models and the proposed method of measuring heat transfer coefficients in the conditions of operation of heating appliances.

Keywords: electrical circuit, transients, heat transfer coefficient, thermal energy
