Product Overview

Electric boilers are a modern, energy-efficient solution for your homes heating needs. Similar to traditional gas / oil boilers, they come in a variety of models including 'System' (where a hot water storage tank is required) and 'Combi' (no tank required, water is sourced directly from the mains and heated instantaneously)

​​​

Where traditional gas / oil boilers ignite fossil fuels in a combustion chamber to create heat, electric boilers use a heating element in a similar fashion to a standard kettle, which is then distributed to showers, taps and radiators

​

Key advantages include:

  • Safety: Due to the heating method, electric boilers do not excrete harmful gaseous materials (e.g. carbon monoxide). Additionally, this enables a more compact design without need for flue, meaning the boiler can be stored practically anywhere in the home

  • Installation: Installations are quicker and less disruptive for tenants

  • Compatibility: Electric boilers are typically compatible with existing central heating systems, avoiding the need for expensive retrofits

  • Reliability: Electric boilers have fewer moving parts than gas / oil boilers, bolstering reliability and minimising disruption for landlords / homeowners

  • Environmentally friendly: Electric boilers are a more environmentally friendly option, helping reduce your carbon footprint, whilst facilitating your heating requirements

  • Alignment with regulations: Government lead directives are currently phasing out gas / oil boilers, banning installation in new builds from 2025 and a blanket ban on installations from 2035. Electric boilers are the sensible transition

​

Potential disadvantages:

  • Running costs: Electricity tends to be more expensive than gas for heating which can impact energy bills. Albeit, higher efficiency achieved from electric boilers can somewhat mitigate this

Heat Pumps

Product Overview

Heat pumps are a highly efficient means of providing heating and air conditioning to your home. Three varieties of heat pumps include ground source, air source and water source

​

This technology works through installing heat exchangers in the ground, air or water. I.e., underground maintains a more consistent temperature than surface level throughout the year, during the cool winter months, heat pumps can harness the underground warmth through refrigerant gases in the heat exchanger and distribute this heat to the house. During the hot summer months, the process can be reversed to provide cool air in your home enabling a highly efficient, year round solution

 

Key advantages:

  • Lower energy bills: Heat pumps are incredibly efficient versus traditional boilers (up to 4x the amount of heat per kW of energy)

  • Environmentally friendly: Greenest heating systems available, aligned with government initiatives

  • Reliability: Heat pumps are extremely reliable and do not require regular inspection like gas boilers given the lack of combustion processes

  • Increase in property value: Energy efficient properties with modern heat pump systems are growing in demand

​

Potential disadvantages:

  • Noise consideration: Depending on the type of heat pump (especially air source) this can generate some noise from outdoor units

  • Property requirements: heat pumps are best suited to newer build, well insulated homes and may not be appropriate for older houses with space restrictions

  • Central heating retrofit: Unlike electric boilers, heat pumps may not be compatible with your central heating system and may require a retrofit

  • Cost: Heat pumps are considerably more expensive than traditional boilers, albeit this is partially offset via benefits from government incentives (which Emerald passes through to you)
