Electric Boiler Installation In Heswall
Are you looking for an alternative to a gas heated water system? Then an electric boiler could be the perfect solution for you. Gas is the most popular and traditional method of water heating for homes across the UK. Unlike traditional gas boilers, electric boilers do not require gas or oil to heat water for your heating system and hot water outlets such as showers and taps. Electric boilers only require a mains electrical supply to heat water. This makes electric boilers ideal for small properties such as flats or rural properties without a gas supply.
How Do Electric Boilers Work?
An electric boiler works by heating elements within the unit, so as water passes over the elements the heat is transferred to the water. Electric boilers operate in a similar fashion to electric kettles. The heated water can then be used to supply a heating system and outlets. Electric boilers are suitable for most small to medium sized properties, as they only have a limited amount of hot water available at any one time. There are a number of electric boiler models on the market which Wirral Plumbers can install at your property.
Benefits Of Electric Boilers
Quiet
Electric boilers are very quiet when in use. This is electric boilers don’t rely on elements inside the boiler moving to create heat.

In the United Kingdom over 2 million homes don’t have access to a mains gas supply. Electric boilers are a great way to heat homes that don’t have a mains gas supply or off-grid properties.
Save Space
Electric boilers are small and compact systems that can be installed in tight spaces. Electric boilers don’t use combustion fuel meaning they don’t require a flue or chimney. They also don’t need to be installed on an outside wall as there is no flue or gas pipe.
Efficient
Electric boilers can be more energy efficient than gas boilers as they loose little heat when generating hot water.
Save Money
Electric boilers benefit from a high efficiency rate, as almost no energy is lost when converting electricity to heat. Therefore, you save money on your energy bills compared to if you had a traditional boiler. Also, installing an electric boiler requires less equipment, which saves you money during the installation process.
