Hi all Hopefully someone will be able to help.

I am working on a large extension project, our plumber has installed a complete new heating system and it's being fed from an electric boiler, it was always said that because of the size of the property after the new extension we would use 2x 9kw boilers (these have been in e property about 5 years but only 1 was ever used), my question, is there anyway of running one boiler and when it needs the other one, it fires the other one up? There is only 1x 100 amp feed into the property. I am project managing this job, I'm not a plumber or electrician but am faced with trying to understand all this.

thanks in advance Gary
 
Electric boilers cost the same to run as sticking convector heaters in each room. The only diffrerence is it will be a radiator instead of a convector heater sending out the heat!

If at all possiable look at some form of heat storage, be that storage heaters, or a heat store so you can make use of the E7 or E10 electricity plans, or perhaps also use a heat pump. Otherwise your client is going to be heating the property using standard rate electricity.

Yes there is a way of cycling the boilers. You aren't a qualified electrician so I would suggest you find one.
