Electric vs. gas boiler: pros and cons
Choosing between an electric and gas boiler depends on your heating needs, budget, and environmental preferences. Here’s how they compare:
- Electric Boilers:
- Pros: Electric boilers are highly efficient, converting nearly 100% of the electricity into heat. They are compact, quiet, and do not require a flue or gas supply, making them easier to install in smaller spaces.
- Cons: Running costs for electric boilers can be higher than gas boilers, particularly in areas with expensive electricity rates. They are better suited for smaller homes or as secondary heating systems.
- Gas Boilers:
- Pros: Gas boilers are typically cheaper to run and can heat larger homes more effectively. They also tend to have a longer lifespan and are ideal for high-demand systems like combination boilers.
- Cons: Installation requires a gas connection and a flue, and they are less environmentally friendly due to carbon emissions.
How much does it cost to install & run an electric boiler?
The cost of installing and running an electric boiler depends on factors such as the boiler size, energy rates, and installation requirements:
- Installation Costs: Installing an electric boiler typically costs between £1,500 and £3,000. The price varies based on the complexity of the setup and whether additional upgrades, such as rewiring, are needed.
- Running Costs: Monthly running costs for electric boilers depend on your energy usage and local electricity prices. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between £60 and £120 per month for heating and hot water, with costs varying based on the home’s size and insulation.
How long does installation take?
Installing an electric boiler is usually quicker than a gas boiler installation. Most installations can be completed within 1 to 2 days, depending on whether the home requires electrical upgrades or modifications to existing systems. For straightforward replacements, the process may take as little as a single day.
Other electric boiler FAQs
Is it better to get a combi boiler?
Combi boilers are more efficient for homes with high hot water demands, as they heat water on demand. However, electric boilers may be a better choice for smaller homes or eco-conscious homeowners.
Can electric boilers work with existing radiators?
Yes, electric boilers can integrate with existing central heating systems, including standard radiators and underfloor heating.
Are electric boilers environmentally friendly?
Electric boilers produce no direct emissions, making them an environmentally friendly option, especially when paired with renewable electricity sources.
