if you have a solar array its far cheaper to go heat pump route if your heat loss is less than 10kwh it should then be parable to an A rate boiler to run in winter, if you have a 15kwh or more heat loss for get it, stick with gas

Nice one , they are the future as most new builds now don’t have gas...! You can also get a system version and hook up to a mega flow for decent hot water pressure , Ive fitted a few and they are very easy compared to a gas boiler and are ideal when a flue run is a problem , as for running cost’s gas is cheaper per kw hour.... 👍

He mentions the flow rate at 17:12 and quotes 9L/min The cheaper electric boiler models can be as low as 5L/min so beware The boiler here (ECA Arceus) comes in different versions, from 12 up to 27Kw. This was the 12Kw model and, from the figures I was able to find, is rated at 8L/min (not 9). The notes state that at 8L/min you may have to turn down the flow rate to fill a bath. For some context, the NHBC guidance recommend restricting flow rates at the output as follows: Basin, Sink & shower - 6L/min, Bath - 9L/min. As a result, this unit my struggle when filling a bath, especially if that output hasn’t been restricted.

@@RagTimeJack Just to clarify, you will still be able to fill a bath, but it means you can’t just turn the tap on full else a boiler, rated in power as this one, wouldn’t be able to keep up. The situation gets worse if someone is using the boiler elsewhere at the same time (sink or heating was on). Im far from an expert on this, but we have been exploring electric boilers as an option to replace our old gas combi. I found there is very little info out there on this kind of setup (electric combi and nothing else). People almost always have a water cylinder when using an electric boiler. If you are considering combining this with solar power you have to have a cylinder or some kind of thermal storage else getting the panels is a waste of time (they cant directly feed enough power into an electric boiler to run it - even with storage batteries you cant get enough). Also beware that not all electric boilers can accept hotwater input and so are not compatible with solar heated water. Things are far more complicated than just electric boilers cost more to run, there are many other things different about them and you can easily get screwed over by an installer if you don’t do your own research. If you just have a gas combi on the wall doing everything, I haven’t seen any examples yet of someone swapping one out for a more powerful electric combi of this style without having to add extra stuff elsewhere in the home also

did the incoming fuse need to be checked before you did this job.. some houses only have a 60am or 80amp main fuse.. and with other appliances running aswell as the boiler i would think it would blow the main fuse... i know there is something called 'diversity' whicvvh means everything in the houose wont be running at the same time.. but i guess you dont want to be on the limit if the incoming main is only 60am or 80amp.. great video! thanks

@@brendanfisher2528 we had an electrician do that part of the job, he did say there was only a 60A main fuse but he worked out that it would be fine as there wasn't anything else with a large load and unlikely the boiler would be running at full capacity for long periods of time
Hi CP, approximate how much does this cost, Removal of old gas combi, disposal, fitting and wiring of new electric combi. Just an approximate amount please. And do you also cover Watford Herts.. Many Thanks

£3.70 a hour in electric..... 31p per kW rate at the moment. Heating on 5 hours a day? (2 hour morning, 3 hour evening) £18.50 a day. £550 a month.... Er na. If you have huge solar and battery bank yes. Mental to change from gas to this in the current climate.

You're assuming the boiler runs at max rate all the time when in fact it will modulate down to a lower output once up to temp

Not every day you will have the heating on all the time, only in a very cold winter would you possibly manage that which we don't get any longer! Electricity rate at the moment is 28.5p per unit.

Who would service the boiler then, electrician or gas engineer, would be interesting to see how the service on this differs to a gas boiler

The boiler shouldn't need regular servicing. The magnaclean would need cleaning once a year.

I guess anyone can install an electric boiler as it's just connecting water pipes to it, you'd just need an electrician to do the electrical side of it
