• How Do Electric Boilers Work? 
  • Like a traditional gas combi boiler, an electric boiler is fed cold water from the mains supply.
  • The difference is that instead of working from the gas mains, your boiler will use electricity to feed into it from the mains supply directly to the heating element within the boiler. The boiler will then work like a kettle—using electricity and a metal element to heat the water.
  • Cold water is passed over the metal heating element, and heat is transferred, resulting in hot water that you can supply to the radiators and taps on-demand or from a hot water storage cylinder.
• Are Electric Boilers Expensive to Run?

Electric boilers are easy to install and maintain, suitable for properties without a gas supply, and operate more efficiently than their gas counterparts. However, they do have higher running costs due to electricity prices.

The choice between electric and gas boilers ultimately depends on your preferences, property type, and infrastructure. Electric boilers offer simplicity and efficiency, making them suitable for properties without gas access, while gas boilers are favoured for their cost-effectiveness and faster heating. Electric boilers provide convenience and flexibility, while gas boilers are chosen for their economic benefits and widespread availability.

• What are the maintenance requirements for an Electric Boiler?

To ensure the maintenance of your boiler, carry out regular maintenance tasks such as checking for leaks, inspecting pressure levels, and cleaning components like the heat exchanger and circulating pumps. 

Treat your boiler to professional servicing at least once a year to address potential issues and maximise lifespan. Look out for higher energy usage, reduced heating efficiency, irregular water temperature, and unusual noises or smells, as these can all indicate it's time for a service, and ignoring them may cause you issues in the long run.
