Thinking about
switching to an
Electric Boiler?
You can lower your carbon footprint
with an eco friendly electric boiler.
Electric Boiler Installations
Electric boilers have been recently introduced into the world of heating appliances, with many types of electric boilers still on the rise, more discoveries are being made regarding their improvement.
An electric boiler can replace any other small to medium size boiler in the home, their advantages being that they are small, light, compact, often completely silent and, of course boasting the main benefit of a low running cost due to the price of electricity in comparison to oil or gas. Since they only heat up a certain amount of hot water at a time, an electric boiler might not be suitable for larger households with higher levels of hot water usage, but are ideal for small properties.
Benefits of Electric Boilers
In recent years, electric heating has gained significant popularity as a more economical and efficient alternative to traditional fossil fuel boilers.
Is Electric Heating the Future?
Absolutely. With the UK planning to ban gas boilers in the near future, electric heating is emerging as the most practical and sustainable option. The shift towards electrification is happening at a remarkable pace, driven by advancements in technologies like Solar PV and battery storage. Many homeowners are now turning to smart electric heating systems to further reduce their carbon footprint and embrace ecofriendly solutions.
Working Towards Carbon Neutrality
As part of its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, the UK government has announced that from 2025, all new homes will be required to use low or zero-carbon heating systems instead of gas or oil boilers. This marks a significant step in the transition to greener, cleaner heating solutions nationwide.
Electric Boiler FAQ’s
Here is our frequently asked questions, find answers below or get in touch.
An electric boiler uses electricity to heat water for central heating and hot water systems. It operates without the need for gas or oil, making it ideal for homes without access to the gas grid or those looking for a greener heating option.
Yes, electric boilers are highly energy-efficient, with almost 100% of the electricity used converted into heat. They also have no emissions at the point of use, making them an eco-friendly choice, especially when powered by renewable electricity.
Electric boilers require less maintenance than gas or oil boilers because they have fewer moving parts and no flue or combustion process. However, an annual service is recommended to check for wear and ensure the system operates efficiently and safely.
Electric boilers are best suited for small to medium-sized homes with moderate heating and hot water demands. They may not be ideal for larger properties due to higher running costs compared to gas systems, but they are an excellent solution for well-insulated homes or off-grid locations.
