Electric boilers: the Vaillant Eloblock boiler
Even if the tax incentives in force push for a greater use of renewable sources, gas heating still remains the standard for the majority of homes.
In some cases, however, for various reasons it is not possible to install a natural gas system, for example, there are areas where the natural gas pipes are not present or for some reason it is not possible to connect to the national system.
In all cases where it is not possible to connect to the methane gas network, the installation of an electric boiler can be a valid alternative both for heating and for the production of domestic hot water.
Features and costs of electric boilers
There are numerous advantages associated with the installation of an electric boiler but, before making the purchase, it is advisable to make some assessments.
The first question that arises when we are faced with the possibility of buying an electric boiler is: how much does it consume?
It is difficult to unambiguously establish the consumption of the electric boiler since there are several possible options on the market which, depending on the technologies used and the materials used, have very different prices and consumption.
When thinking of buying an electric boiler, the advice is not to stop only at the initial purchase cost of the boiler, but also to evaluate other factors, such as for example the energy class since a very low purchase price of the boiler could mean that the boiler does not have good energy performance and, consequently, could result in a significant increase in the electricity bill.
Furthermore, in order to use the boiler, in most cases it will be necessary to ask your electricity supplier to increase the power of the meter in order to avoid frequent blackouts due to the use of the boiler together with other appliances.
Advantages of choosing an electric boiler
The advantages of an electric boiler are numerous.
First of all, it is very simple to install: the mechanisms that regulate its operation are very simple and installation can take place quickly and with a lower installation cost than a traditional boiler, as well as greater ease of positioning.
An electric boiler, in fact, does not have to be connected to the gas system for operation and does not require flues for discharge.
All that is required for the installation of an electric boiler is a connection to the water system and a source of electrical energy for the drive.
Electric boilers are also much more ecological than a gas boiler, as they have no exhaust fumes: it is an eco-friendly choice which, if combined with a photovoltaic system, can be almost completely green.
The emissions of harmful gases due to the combustion of the gas for the flame that heats the water in the gas boilers are equal to zero.
Traditional gas boilers, using substances that are potentially harmful to humans, are subject by law to a flue gas check to be carried out periodically by a specialized technician: not having emissions of this type, electric boilers are exempt from this maintenance obligation , a nice saving, right?
