Electric vs. gas boiler: pros and cons

Choosing between an electric and gas boiler depends on your heating needs, budget, and environmental preferences. Here’s how they compare:

  • Electric Boilers:
    • Pros: Electric boilers are highly efficient, converting nearly 100% of the electricity into heat. They are compact, quiet, and do not require a flue or gas supply, making them easier to install in smaller spaces.
    • Cons: Running costs for electric boilers can be higher than gas boilers, particularly in areas with expensive electricity rates. They are better suited for smaller homes or as secondary heating systems.
  • Gas Boilers:
    • Pros: Gas boilers are typically cheaper to run and can heat larger homes more effectively. They also tend to have a longer lifespan and are ideal for high-demand systems like combination boilers.
    • Cons: Installation requires a gas connection and a flue, and they are less environmentally friendly due to carbon emissions.

How much does it cost to install & run an electric boiler?

The cost of installing and running an electric boiler depends on factors such as the boiler size, energy rates, and installation requirements:

  • Installation Costs: Installing an electric boiler typically costs between £1,500 and £3,000. The price varies based on the complexity of the setup and whether additional upgrades, such as rewiring, are needed.
  • Running Costs: Monthly running costs for electric boilers depend on your energy usage and local electricity prices. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between £60 and £120 per month for heating and hot water, with costs varying based on the home’s size and insulation.

How long does installation take?

Installing an electric boiler is usually quicker than a gas boiler installation. Most installations can be completed within 1 to 2 days, depending on whether the home requires electrical upgrades or modifications to existing systems. For straightforward replacements, the process may take as little as a single day.

Other electric boiler FAQs

Is it better to get a combi boiler?

Combi boilers are more efficient for homes with high hot water demands, as they heat water on demand. However, electric boilers may be a better choice for smaller homes or eco-conscious homeowners.

Can electric boilers work with existing radiators?

Yes, electric boilers can integrate with existing central heating systems, including standard radiators and underfloor heating.

Are electric boilers environmentally friendly?

Electric boilers produce no direct emissions, making them an environmentally friendly option, especially when paired with renewable electricity sources.

Andrea and his team were excellent. He is very reliable, efficient and hard working. He made a very challenging job look easy and did some extra things for me that weren’t included in the quote, without charging extra. He got back to me quickly and the whole job took less than 2 weeks from me posting to completion. I would definitely recommend this company and I’m sure I will ask him to do other jobs for me.

I highly recommend BDS Contracts. David was very understanding when I had to cancel last minute. When I was finally able to confirm a date , I also changed the works needed a few times. David was very patient with me and we finally got the date, works and price sorted (thank you ????). The guys turned up and did the work quickly and efficiently. I'm really pleased with the work done and I'm happy to recommend.

Ussman came around to service our boiler and diagnose a problem we were experiencing. I can honestly say that he is an absolute professional. He knew his trade inside out & managed to fully repair the boiler and it is running so much better now. He didn't leave until he was sure we were satisfied. He charged very reasonably & in line with his quotation. He is friendly, polite, honest, super tidy & I would have no problem recommending him.

We are delighted with Tim’s excellent and professional service in fitting a replacement radiator and clearing a problem drain for my elderly mum. He responded straight away with his quote and I found him very reassuring when he explained on the phone how he would carry out the job and how he was able to complete the job within a week, which was perfect timing for us. He was friendly, efficient and completed the job to a high standard. We are very happy and would thoroughly recommend without hesitation.
