Benefits of an immersion heater installation

Here's what all the fuss is about!

Energy efficient

Immersion heaters are metal coil devices powered by an electricity supply. When switched on, they quickly generate heat and transfer it directly to the water.

Immersion heaters are highly energy efficient and help keep heating costs down.

A safer option

You may think water and electricity are dangerous together, but an immersion heater installation will not put your home at risk. The heating element is covered in insulating material and safe to use in water.

You should always hire a professional to install and maintain your immersion heater. Poorly fitted systems can be dangerous, increasing the risk of electrocution or injury.

When properly installed and cared for, immersion heaters are safer than other water heating methods.

A reliable source of hot water

Investing in an immersion heater installation allows you to always have a reliable source of hot water. If your boiler breaks down, you won't have to brave a cold shower; simply switch on your immersion heater.

Solar-powered immersion heaters are available on the market today. Without electricity, these heaters can continue to make hot water during a power cut.

FAQs about immersion heater fitting

Can I install an immersion heater myself?

Only people with experience as a plumber or heating engineer should attempt a DIY immersion heater installation. A poorly installed immersion heater is more likely to malfunction and break in the future.

Plumbers or heating engineers have the skills needed to install immersion heaters. However, an electrician can do repair work if your heating system experiences any electrical faults.

How long does an immersion heating fitting take?

An immersion heater installation will be approximately half a day's work for a professional. It is important to note that different types of immersion heaters require specific installation methods.
