Electric Boiler Installers

Electric boilers can provide heating and hot water in properties where mains gas is unavailable or where an electric heating system is preferred. They are generally compact and operate quietly, and because they do not burn fuel within the appliance, they do not require a gas supply or flue. However, electricity usually costs more per unit than mains gas, so running costs should be considered when deciding whether an electric boiler is suitable for your home.

Electric boilers do not produce combustion emissions at the property, although the overall environmental impact will depend partly on how the electricity used to power them is generated. Their efficiency, running costs and suitability will also depend on the size of the property, insulation levels and heating requirements.

Electric Boiler Installation Costs

The cost of installing an electric boiler will vary depending on the boiler size, existing heating system and whether additional electrical or plumbing work is required. Installation may also involve upgrading the electrical supply or installing a new circuit, depending on the requirements of the boiler.

Any electrical installation work must comply with the relevant electrical safety requirements, including BS 7671. Depending on the work and location within the UK, Building Regulations requirements may also apply.

Choosing an Electrician to Service or Install an Electric Boiler

To find a local electrician for an electric boiler installation or repair, you can use the "post your job" button on this page. Enter details of the work along with your contact information and local tradespeople can get in touch with quotes.

Before choosing an electrician, compare at least three written quotes and check that they carry out the type of electrical work required for the installation. You can also ask to see relevant qualifications, registration details where applicable, Public Liability Insurance and examples of previous work.

Once you have chosen an electrician, agree the payment terms and scope of the work before installation begins. Some tradespeople may request payment for materials in advance, but make sure any payment arrangements are clearly set out in writing and ask for receipts.

Once the electrical work has been completed, you should receive the relevant electrical certification where required. Keep any certificates and installation paperwork in a safe place, as they may be useful for future maintenance or if you decide to sell the property.
