electric boiler

A quick question for you all: In this ongoing energy crisis, do you think gas or electric is the way to go? What are the pros and cons you're seeing in your day-to-day work? Do share some real-world experiences. Did you move to a green energy solution like a heat pump?

I have moved into a new apartment and it has an Aztec electric boiler and a Tempest water tank but I have no clue on how to use it.

Hi, I'll prefix all this with, whatever solution I go for, I will be getting qualified tradesmen to do it for me. I live in a 3 bed, 2 bathroom apartment that currently has a gas boiler with a storage water tank. This setup is 30 years old, and the boiler is a Ideal Mexico Super 2 CF80. The...

Hi, The house I am buying is a 2 bed mid terrace, and is not on the gas network. The gas combi-boiler is run off LPG cylinders, and provides both hot water and heating. This is a direct system, and there is no storage tank. I am planning to go solar at some point in the future, and I want to...

I want install underfloor heating (UFH) and, apparently, because of the wooden floor boards we can’t use an electric UFH system, so we have to use a water system. But I don’t have a gas boiler to make hot water. There are electric boilers which apparently- according to google- will be ok for...
