Is an electric boiler, right for me?

Last Updated on October 15, 2026 by Stewart Webb

Here are three situations where an electric boiler may be a practical choice. Compare the options in our electric boiler range before deciding
for you and your home:

• You live ‘off grid’ and are looking to an alternative heating
  system than an oil or gas boiler.
• You live in a block of apartments or flats, where an electric
  boiler is easier to install and maintain than a gas boiler.
• You have hot water requirements, and want to replace an
  older style gas or oil boiler combined with a hot water cylinder, with
  an electric combi boiler with an inbuilt cylinder.
• You want to make an environmentally friendly choice, but
  you do not have the funds or the outside space to install a heat
  pump.
• You want a reliable and efficient boiler, which in the form of
  an electric combi boiler provides instant hot water.
