Upgrading an electric Boiler
 Started by  byron.roberts

I have a 19 year old GEC Nightstor boiler, which supplies wet radiators via economy 7. Hot water is supplied via a two immersion hot water tank, also using economy 7. The Nighstor electric boiler struggles in winter to supply the radiators all day with cheaper electricity and I am considering replacing it with something more poweful and efficient ( along with extending my house and adding 4 new radiators). Any advice on suitable new electric boilers/good companies to deal with would be appreciated.

Don't use electric boilers Byron. get gas or even Oil but pref bio (logs) if you really want to be green.

1) when extending if you meet current building regs you should find that you will need a smaller boiler.
 
2)Insulate the rest of the house especially the loft and draft seal everything.
