How much does it cost to install an electric boiler?
An electric boiler ranges in price from around £3,000 - £4,200 depending on the specification you require (supply and installation). For comparison, the average gas boiler costs around £3,000 to supply and install.
For the full breakdown, see our guide to new boiler costs.
Is it worth installing an electric boiler?
Electric boilers are a great choice for smaller homes with lower demands on heating and hot water or properties that aren't connected to a mains gas supply.
Of course, with no gas, your property is not at risk from carbon monoxide. And with fewer moving parts than a gas system, they should be easier to maintain. However, it is worth mentioning, that (unless you have a back up power supply), in the event of a power outage, you could be left without heating and hot water.
On the plus side, if paired with solar panels, you can achieve zero emissions, with your electric boiler being powered by renewable energy!

FAQs about electric boiler installation
One of the drawbacks of an electric boiler is its running costs, which can be more expensive than that of a gas boiler. However, this is purely because electricity is more expensive than gas.
On balance, electric boilers are more efficient than gas boilers, so you get more heat for the same cost. To that end, it may work out slightly more cost-effective to choose an electric combi boiler.
An electric boiler should only be installed by a skilled electrical or heating engineer who is competent in both electrics and pressurised hot water systems.
A standard electric boiler heats water for your central heating and hot water in a similar way to a gas boiler. However, it doesn't have the ability to provide instant hot water on demand.
To achieve this, opt for an electric combi boiler. This type of boiler heats water directly from the mains supply whenever it's needed, eliminating the need for a separate hot water tank.
If you're considering an electric boiler for a smaller property, search for electric combi boiler installers near you in our directory.
You don't need new radiators when you install an electric boiler - they work with a 'wet' heating system, i.e. radiators and underfloor heating. In fact, following the installation of your electric boiler, you may notice an increase in efficiency!
