Why choose an electric boiler?
There are many reasons to choose an electric heating system, with the resources of gas and oil expected to run out within the next 40 years, electricity could be the best solution for home heating.
Electric heating systems offer many benefits, such as zero emissions during operation, no risks of a carbon monoxide leak, they heat the home efficiently and effectively and respond quickly to calls for heating and hot water.
Why is the efficiency of electric boilers different to gas?
Electric boilers are considered 99-100% efficient as they don’t produce any waste gases, as gas and oil boilers do. However, electric boilers are only awarded an ErP D-rating, whereas gas and oil boilers are ErP A-rated despite being 93% efficient at most.
The reason for this lies in how electricity is generated in the UK, by burning fossil fuels. Natural gas production sees 0.216kg of CO2 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) released into the atmosphere, electricity generation is almost double: 0.519 kg of CO2 per kWh. Due to this, electricity is considered a carbon intensive fuel.
