What Is An Electric Boiler and How Does It Work?
An electric boiler is a heating system that uses electricity as its primary energy source to provide heat and hot water for your home or business. It essentially works like a kettle, taking cold water from the taps and using an electric element to heat it up.
Unlike traditional boilers, electric boilers do not rely on fossil fuels as heavily as gas or oil burners, making them a better and more environmentally friendly option. They come up a bit pricier than gas or oil boilers to run, but they are cheaper to install and do not necessarily need an annual service.
Whilst most of us have been using gas boilers for as long as we can remember, these are starting to be phased out because of climate change concerns and because you may not have access to gas if you are not on the National Grid.
What Are The Signs That You Need Electric Boiler Servicing or Repairs?
- Unusual noises

- Frequent breakdowns

What Types of Electric Boilers Do You Service?
Do Electric Boilers Need an Annual Service?
No, electric boilers do not need to be checked annually like gas boilers or oil boilers that could be at risk of carbon monoxide leaks and other potential issues.
But it is always healthy to have an annual service for electric boilers to ensure that they are working correctly, have all safety features in check and will not have any breakdowns during a cold spell or winter snap.
It’s important to note that landlords are legally required to have their electric boilers serviced annually, while most households are recommended to have a service at least once a year.

Why Choose Electric Boilers Over Gas or Oil Boilers?
With electric boilers, these are typically more energy efficient, allowing you to get up to 99% energy from your boiler, compared to around 91% with gas.
There is great synergy if you have solar panels, because the electricity your generate from these can go straight into powering your boiler which is very economical.
There are other benefits such as being electric, they do not need to be fitted to a tank or gas pipes, so they can be placed anywhere in your house and you won’t have anything sticking out of the side of your house.
