Electric Boilers

Electric Boilers

When it comes to fuelling your home, you will generally have one or two options when it comes to mains supply. As you can imagine, this normally boils down to either gas or electric! Electric boilers are immensely popular for many reasons, those of which we’ll run through in this guide. But is an electric combi boiler, for example, going to be the best fit for your home, your energy usage, and your budget?

If you’re unsure about setting up with any kind of electric boiler for your home, don’t worry. We work on your behalf to line up three verified, qualified engineers who can provide you with leading quotes on the latest models. The people we work with also offer fantastic advice and guidance, too.

If you’d like to know more about other boilers – such as system boilers, for example – we have a range of guides available online for you to get into.

What are Electric Boilers?

Funnily enough, electric boilers are those heating systems which run purely off the electricity mains. Many people tend to choose electric based heating systems because of the immediate savings, and the fact that many see them to be safer. There’s no risk of gas escaping, and there’s no mandatory yearly checks.

Electric boilers tend to be fairly small and compact, too, meaning you can easily set them up in smaller or tighter spaces wherever you need to. What’s more, they tend to be pretty quiet. You’ll also find that they tend to be cleaner-running than gas boilers, as well as cheaper upfront.

However, you’ll need to consider a few points if you’re weighing up between electric or gas. For example, electric boilers tend to be cheaper at the point of sale, but gas may actually provide you with lower bills long term. Do also keep in mind that if you suffer a power cut, your heating goes with it – whereas gas boilers can just keep running!

So, yes – there are certainly pros and cons. It’s worth looking at our complete guide to the types of boiler available across the UK, too – if you want to know more about what different types do, and how they can be useful to you in your everyday life.
