DAXOM 12 kW ELECTRIC BOILERS EXPLAINED
What are electric combi boilers – DAXOM 12 kW ELECTRIC BOILERS EXPLAINED
Electric combi boilers do the same as a gas combi boiler fuelled by electric energy. They heat your home via a wet heating circuit, either radiators or under floor heating. They also provide your domestic hot water just like a gas combi boiler.
Daxom electric combi boilers have several benefits over other types of central heating options, other than being more energy efficient
Cost-Effective
Easy to install and requiring less maintenance than gas or oil boilers. Subsequently, they are a less expensive option.
Fit in Small Spaces
Our electric combi boilers are compact in size. They are single units not requiring heating tanks, cylinders or a flue like other types of boiler. We build everything needed into one unit. Daxom Combination boilers fit comfortably into a small kitchen cupboard or under the stairs.
Practical silent
Most gas and oil boilers are noisy. Daxom electric boilers are practically silent.
Easy to Use
It’s important to have control over the amount of energy you’re using. Users have the option to control the boiler via a room thermostat and app, or you can manage your electric combi boiler manually. The boilers have many settings to control energy consumption and therefore cost and spending.
We fit the units with a stylish digital display and control panel, giving you full control.
Low installation costs
No need for a gas or oil supply nor storage. Subsequently, they are easier to fit and that reduces installation costs.
Low Maintenance
The Daxom electric combi boilers don’t have as many mechanical parts as other types of heating systems and, therefore, don’t require maintenance or repairs as often.
Future Proof
Daxom electric combi boilers are compatible with solar energy and other renewable energy sources.
The Daxom List

Efficient
99.9% energy efficient .
The efficiency of gas Boilers varies depending on the age of the boiler and its service history.
Gas boilers use electricity to drive the fan for carbon monoxide elimination, it eliminates this consumption of electricity from electric combination boilers.
What are the limitations of electric combination boilers
Most properties in the UK have a single phase 230 volt, 100 amp supply. This restricts your choice to a 12 kW boiler, as a 12 kW boiler will draw 54.6 amps of your electric supply. If you go beyond 12 kW you most likely will not have sufficient amps left to power the rest of your electric appliances in the property, tripping the main fuse.
A electric 12 kW combi boiler will with ease heat a property of up to 140 sqms, however the limitations are with the delivery of domestic hot water.
Our entry level Daxom Compact Electric Combi Boiler Single Phase 12 kW can produce 6.9 litres of hot water a minute, based on a 25 degree temperature rise. This is enough for a reasonably good shower providing a good quality thermostatic mixer valve and a sensible shower head is in place. A 12 kW combi boiler is not suitable to fill a bath as it would take at least 15 minutes. 12 kW electric combi boilers are soft start units. This means the boiler will not deliver at 12 kW from the moment you open a hot water outlet. It will start with 4 kW and increase to the full 12 kW in 60 seconds. As the full power can not be delivered instantly you will notice that it takes a little time until the full temperature output at the tap is accomplished.
How we, here at Daxom have eliminated these limitation
We have engineered electric combi boilers with inbuilt hot water cylinders of three different sizes to cater for all domestic hot water demands. These electric boilers work with the same principle as combi boilers, giving priority to domestic hot water. Our electric boilers deliver domestic hot water instantaneous and at a temperature of up to 65 degree. The flow rate is at mains pressure, up to 3 bar.
Daxom 12 kW Boilers with inbuilt cylinder – a game changer in delivering DHW
Why is a Daxom boiler with an inbuilt cylinder a game changer – the time it takes to heat the domestic hot water in the cylinder is unbeaten.
The Daxom wall hung 12 kW boiler with 50 litre inbuilt cylinder, (UKDAX12EBM) Electric Combi Boiler With Inbuilt Cylinder Single Phase 12 kW
It’s all about the time it takes to initially heat up 50 litre domestic hot water to 65 degree, from starting up the boiler, it will only take 10 minutes. Now you have 50 litre at your disposal. What happen next? If you dispose of the hot water at a high flow rate eg., filling a bath you will have the same 10 minutes recovery time. This means, once you out of the bath, the boiler will have 50 litre at 65 degree ready for the next member in the household.
What happen if I use domestic hot water at a moderate flow rate, eg., shower or taps? Once the temperature in the cylinder drops by 7 degree the boiler will reheat the incoming cold water to have again 50 litre at your disposal while you use hot water.
What happens if I don’t use hot water for hours? The temperature in the cylinder will not drop by more then 3 degree in 12 hours, therefor there is no reheating of the DHW in the cylinder required. `This will contribute to significant savings for the consumer.
