How To Get An Electric Boiler Service With Warmable in 4 Steps
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?
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your electric boiler in optimal condition. Some signs that your electric boiler may need a service include:

Do Electric Boilers Need an Annual Service?

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.

- All parts are checked
