In 2020 renewable resources made up 43% of the total UK electricity supply and overtook fossil fuels as the major source of supply.
Electric boilers can be run from renewable resources such as wind generated, tidal and solar power which means you can run your boiler completely free of CO2 emissions.
So if you combine electric home heating with a 100% renewable electricity tariff, you know that your heating will be carbon-free.
The UK government has said that no new homes built after 2025 will use natural gas as a fuel, with low-carbon heating systems adopted as an alternative to help lower CO2 emissions.
Britain has also set a target of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
An electric boiler is a direct replacement for a gas boiler, so when you convert to electric there is no need to replace existing pipework or radiators
An electric boiler uses electricity to generate the heat required to provide the central heating and hot water for a property. The size of the property and hot water requirements will determine the size and type of ‘Electric Boiler’.
Integrating an ‘Electric Boiler’ with a solar PV system, a well-insulated home and 100% renewable tariff will provide you with one of the most eco-friendly systems possible.
The size of the electric supply to a property will determine the most efficient boiler to use.
If you have a large property and use a lot of hot water we suggest using a ‘System Boiler’ coupled to an indirect unvented hot water cylinder. This can also be integrated with a solar PV system, which can provide up to 70% of your annual hot water needs.
For a small property or flat with a single shower and limited space an ‘Electric Combi Boiler’ is ideal.
The Primus S range of electric system boilers are designed to provide all of your domestic space heating needs, through a wet central or underfloor heating system. It is a direct replacement for a gas system boiler and there is no need to change any radiators or pipes. Used in conjunction with an unvented indirect hot water cylinder it can also provide all of your hot water needs for larger and multi bathroom properties.
By integrating a timer with the boiler you can use cheaper off peak electricity to heat your water store, thus saving money, balancing the grid and utilising 100% renewable electricity.
