When comparing electric boiler vs. gas boiler running costs, gas boilers are more cost-effective due to the lower natural gas price than electricity. While electric boilers are more efficient, their running costs can be significantly higher.
Yes, if you own a gas boiler, UK law requires you to obtain a gas safety certificate annually. This ensures compliance with gas safety regulations and confirms that your heating system is safe.
While electric boilers work well for small homes and flats, they may struggle to heat large properties with high central heating system demands efficiently. Gas boilers are better suited for larger households with greater hot water and heating requirements.
Consider your budget, property size, access to a gas supply, and long-term running costs. A gas boiler is the best option if affordability and efficiency are priorities. An electric boiler may be suitable for renewable energy boilers and a low-maintenance heating system.
A gas leak detection check is a critical safety procedure, a Gas Safe registered engineer performs. It involves checking pipework, connections, and combustion processes to ensure no gas leaks in your central heating systems.
