Christopher Plumbing Services recommends and fits electric boilers - why?

Electric boilers are an efficient and low maintenance alternative to gas boilers for domestic central heating.

Electric boilers are ideal for properties with up to two bedrooms (or they can be used in multiples to suit the needs of larger properties).

Electric boilers can be used for both central heating and hot water if used with a storage tank.

Advantages of electric boilers

Electric boilers have many advantages over gas boilers:

• Electric boilers are incredibly efficient - 99%!
• Electric boilers are lightweight and compact, they don't need a flue and they run quietly with no moving parts - this allows greater flexibility for installation location.
• Installing an electric boiler is straightforward, usually making use of existing pipework, radiators etc.
• Electric boilers have no emissions so there is no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and no need for a flue (and no heat loss up a chimney).
• Running costs can be reduced if Economy 7 or 10 electricity tariffs are available.
• No annual servicing or safety certificates are required for electric boilers - this may be of particular interest to landlords of rental properties.

Can a plumber fit an electric boiler?

The boiler is just one part of a property's heating or hot water system - all standard work for a plumber or central heating engineer. Rest assured, all electrical work is carried out by an engineer with appropriate qualifications.
