Electric Boilers

Any sparks installed these or are they to small for normal housing stock?

Last looked into it about 10 years ago and couldn't make the numbers stack up on cost and load profile on the installation

What's the logic on installing one ? Gas is about ⅓ the price of electricity... so if you have gas, I'd use that. If there's no gas and you want to use electricity... then surely panel heaters/immersion are the answer. I must have missed something.

I have fitted several over the years, no gas in our village!
Last one I did was 10.8 kw, the 3 bed average size property was heavily insulated and would be up to 22deg in approximately 20mins or so from about 11degrees. Once warm it needed very few cycles of the system to keep the temperature consistent. Still not the most economic way of heating imho.
When installing them you will usually need a 3a fused supply for the control stat ect. The pump connection is built into the unit already on most units.
