What we check before recommending parts
Electric heating faults can be upstream of the appliance. We test in a logical order and keep repair versus replacement as a decision made after evidence, not before.

Why flats and London properties are a strong fit
Electric boilers are frequently considered where there is no individual gas connection, a flue route is impractical, the plant space is compact or a landlord wants an all-electric refurbishment. The trade-off is electrical demand, so the incoming supply and hot-water expectations must be checked early.
Berkshire and London coverage
We cover Reading, Maidenhead, Windsor, Slough, Bracknell, Wokingham and surrounding Berkshire areas, plus planned visits in West and Central London including Ealing, Hillingdon, Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea, Westminster, Richmond and Kingston.
Frequently asked questions
Will an electric combi give the same hot-water flow as a large gas combi?
Not necessarily. Electrical input limits instantaneous hot-water production, so product selection and realistic flow expectations are important.
Is a packaged boiler-and-cylinder unit different from an instantaneous combi?
Yes. Some products combine an electric boiler with stored hot water, which can deliver a different hot-water experience from a purely instantaneous unit.
Can you check whether my supply is large enough?
Yes. We assess the incoming supply and maximum demand before installation.
Are electric combis good for London flats?
They can be a strong option where flues, gas risers or plant space are problematic, provided the electrical capacity and hot-water demand suit the chosen product.
