Electric boiler

[Inverness]

Hello. My gran lives in a one bedroom house with storage electric heaters with direct open vented hot water. all her neighbours have gas central heating boilers but she is old fashioned and is frighten of gas. Any way I've recommend her to get an wet central heating as heat source being electric boiler and unvented direct cylinder.

Would it be best practice to have the electric boiler doing only the radiators and the cylinder on its own with an immersion or with a s-plan set up two motorised valves? Which of the two is the best?

any recommendation on the best reliable electric boiler for a one bedroom bungalow?

regards darren

Have a look at ehc (electric heating company) and use an indirect cylinder but don't forget you will need to involve a spark as well

Yeah I've got my sparky lined up. ill leave all the sparky work to him to wire it all up and make the new electric boiler have a economy timer. Would you plumb it up to a s plan setting or leave the cylinder separate only on emmersion element?

S plan depends what your elecs can take (bigger kW )

I look after a place with Amptec flow boilers and direct unventeds , ok its a big electric bill but it works well and when I combine my gas and lecky bills , it roughly works out the same as their big lecky bills.
