For the purpose of this article we will focus on an electric boiler that runs off a ‘wet system’. The Potterton Gold electric boiler is constructed to heat re-circulated water used in central heating systems.
This type of electric boiler uses electricity to boil water which passes around your heating system through your radiators. As with gas, LPG and oil boilers electric boilers are available as a regular boiler, system or combination boiler (combi). Each boiler will have a different output. Usually the greater the output the more powerful and therefore more expensive the boiler will be. The Potterton Gold Electric boiler currently comes in 9kw and 12kw outputs.
Total Energy Services have installed this boiler numerous times for both commercial and residential customers. Its a great option for those who are limited on space due to its compact design. This boiler works easily along side radiators, programmers, pumps and room thermostats.
For your Potterton Electric boiler to produce hot water it will need to be installed with a Potterton Gold indirect cylinder.
As cold mains water passed over an electric immersion it is heated within a chamber. The water temperature is then controlled by elements within the immersion.
As with a natural gas, LPG or oil boilers, the Potterton Electric boiler can be controlled by standard programmers and room thermostats, allowing ultimate control over your heating system.
