Instant water heater

[Padster80808]

I would like to remove the gas central heating boiler et al in my house. I'm going to install electrical radiators. Does anyone have any advice on instant water heaters. Ideally i'd like to slot one in the existing combi position and just use it for hot water on demand.
Any info on types etc would be great.

What is the reasoning for changing from Gas to Electric?
When it comes to heating I'd be looking at Gas boiler ahead of electric radiators all day long

...and most likely a DNO upgrade to three phase to power it...

You do realise that heating and hot water by electricity costs three, yes 3 times, as much as gas, don't you?

Look at the kW hour rate in pence on your bills if you don't believe it.

Don't do it.

I work in the gas industry and I have seen what a very small amount of gas that has exploded can do. At the end of the day, it's about piece of mind, not money

Must be fiddling the meter

This is a bad decision and is going to cost you a lot of money

5lts per minute, you could boil a kettle quicker than that

The earlier one was 12ltrs per minute, closer to a Combi but not suitable for a normal Domestic supply, unless the O.P has a 3ph supply.?

Then surely you also know that if properly installed and maintained a gas installation is safe.

Don't talk him out of it..... it'll keep an electrician in a job for a few weeks more.

OP;- It is quite a jump in load for your electrical supply to have space heating and water heating through electric on what may be at most 100A supply. (probably 80A or 60A depending on house size)

Have you thought about leaving the wet radiators in place and just replacing the gas boiler with an electric equivalent?
