Switch on to electric boilers
Electric boilers are a 100% efficient way of heating water. With no flue required and less pipework than other systems, heat is not wasted, reducing energy usage. Taking advantage of an off-peak electricity supply cuts costs even further. The boilers can be used to provide central heating only – including underfloor heating – or central heating plus hot water. They are virtually silent in operation and give off no fumes.
With minimal maintenance and no annual safety certificate required, running costs are very low compared to other fuels. Electric boilers have easy to operate controls and LED indicators show the status of operation. Safety cut-out devices give protection.
Featured Company – EHC
The Electric Heating Company has a wealth of knowledge and technical expertise and offers an extensive range of electric boilers suitable for domestic and light commercial properties. All the company’s electric boilers are designed to eliminate unnecessary external plumbing and come with 2 year warranties for parts and labour.
The latest technology is incorporated within space-saving, modern designs. EHC’s Fusion Comet boiler is suitable for wet heating systems and can be complemented by stainless steel cylinders and solar panels. The Slim Jim boiler, ideal for where space is at a premium, solves gas in flue voids legislation. To save time, EHC offers boiler packs, which include a boiler in a choice of sizes plus a direct or indirect cylinder with components.
For maximum efficiency, Comet boilers incorporate six stage heating using a single stainless steel heat exchanger. This means the boiler will modulate so that electricity consumption is controlled through all heating cycles. A magnetic filter is also pre-plumbed within the unit for added protection and long life.
Comet boilers include the pump, auto-air vent, automatic bypass and expansion vessel within a compact casing, which fits neatly into a cupboard. Boiler outputs are 6kW, 9kW, 12kW or 14.4kW and for light commercial properties with a 3-phase electricity supply, there is a 24kW output Comet boiler.
The up-to-the-minute Slim Jim is a fully controllable electric flow boiler which is designed to maximise cupboard space and is a popular choice for apartments, holiday homes and light commercial properties. The boiler has an easy-fit front cover incorporating user-friendly controls with heat mode and fault finding indicators.
Slim Jim boilers can be installed as an open vented system or a conventional sealed system comprising a circulating pump and sealed system kit and comes with outputs of 4, 7, 10, 12, and 14.4kW.
