What is a Electric Boiler?

Unlike traditional gas or oil boilers that rely on combustion, electric boilers utilise electricity to heat water. They contain electric heating elements similar to those found in water heaters. When an electric current passes through these elements, they heat up, transferring the heat to the water flowing through the boiler. This heated water is circulated to radiators, underfloor heating systems, or hot water cylinders, providing warmth and hot water throughout your building.

Types of Electric Boilers:

Direct Electric Boilers: These heat water on demand and supply it directly to the heating system or hot water taps.

Storage Electric Boilers include a built-in water storage tank, allowing for more efficient electricity use during off-peak hours.

Electric Combi Boilers combine heating and hot water production in a single unit, eliminating the need for a separate hot water tank.

Why Choose an Electric Boiler?

High Efficiency: Electric boilers convert nearly all electricity into heat and boast impressive efficiency ratings of 99-100%.

Installation Flexibility: Electric boilers require no flue or gas supply, offering greater flexibility in installation locations. This makes them ideal for homes without access to gas or in areas with strict flue regulations.

Safety First: Electric boilers do not use a combustion process, eliminating the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or gas leaks and providing a safer heating solution.

Reduced Maintenance: Compared to gas or oil boilers, electric boilers have fewer moving parts and require no annual gas safety checks, resulting in lower maintenance costs.

Environmental Benefits: Electric boilers, when powered by renewable electricity sources, offer a significantly lower carbon footprint than fossil fuel alternatives.

Considerations for Electric Boilers:

Power Requirements: Electric boilers require a substantial power supply. Your existing electrical system may need an upgrade to handle the load.

Heating Capacity: Electric boilers are best suited for smaller to medium-sized properties. More significant buildings may require more powerful systems or additional heating solutions.
