Electric boilers offer an affordable, easy to retrofit, fit and forget solution
the environmental costs of heating homes. In addition to combining electric boilers with renewable energy sources installed at the property, homeowners and tenants can choose to select energy providers that supply customers exclusively from renewable sources. In this way, electric boilers can contribute to reduced carbon emissions while offering reliability, ease of installation and low maintenance benefits. Te other key factor that must be considered is comfort. Contemporary
electric boilers are efficient and reliable; the key is to specify the correct size and type of boiler for the property. Just like gas boilers, they can also benefit from the use of smart controls, enabling the homeowner to programme in their own requirements or control their heating remotely for improved comfort, energy efficiency and cost management.
EASIER UP-SELL For heating engineering businesses, the prospect of moving away from gas boilers to new renewable technologies is daunting, because it requires both additional skills and an upsell to customers who may recognise the environmental value of renewables but be unwilling to pay the price of higher purchase and installation costs. Electric boilers are a much easier sell to the customer and a much easier
transition for the installer, while providing improved sustainability for the property. With the investment in sustainable energy infrastructure promising low costs
and environmental impact from electric heating, CO2 savings compared to gas, and practical considerations compared to heat pumps, electric boilers should be an important part of the future of domestic heating and hot water.
