Elterm Boiler Review

[Fraser9339]

I’m currently in the process of completing an outbuilding which I will have hot water and 3 radiators to ensure the place stays warm during the winter months.

The builder recently recommended going with a boiler called Elterm which I’ve never heard of but assured me that it’s just as good as mainstream manufacturers.

I would be keen to get your thoughts on Elterm as a manufacturer.

I’m not sure if the part number but have been told it is an electric combo boiler and doesn’t require any tank. It has Warm-heat written on the front and I’ve been told it regulates between 9kw -15kw.

All feedback on the boiler would be much appreciated.

Has it already been fitted?

 

[Fraser9339]

The builder has purchased it and will be in the process of fitting in the next couple of days.

Elterm are Polish made (and for the UK market) electric system or combi boilers. They are not particularly cheap - circa £1300 for an 9/15kw combi version ( as sold not fitted).

Not aware of any quality issues - but obviously as with any wet electric powered heating system, they are not the cheapest of systems to run, unless you are in receipt of subsidised (solar) power.

May be a bit late to start researching at this stage

Thanks for you feedback, I’ll mainly be using the outbuilding as a home office and not expecting to have it on for more than an hour a day at most as it’s recently been insulated with Celotex. As I mentioned earlier, the concern was that there didn’t seem to be a huge amount of info available on any online forums and wanted to make sure before he started work on fitting.

The original plan was to use an alternative boiler which I can’t recall the name of, however as the builder took on the whole package, he decided to change the brand of boiler and only informed me after. I don’t mind the choice, just concerned that I hadn’t come across Elterm when doing my research earlier.

I must admit the uk distributor did provide me with some details and was very positive, however you would expect this as he is tasked with selling the product.

From my recollection, they have been selling in the UK market (London) for around 3 years.

It helps to know they have been around for a little while. I will put up a picture of the installed boiler once it goes in to show which one it is

How is your Elterm system doing? I had one installed in Poland and it is a long story, which may be of interest.
