Best Electric Combi Boilers

Overview

From UK based manufacturer Heatrae Sadia comes ‘Electromax’ an all-round heating solution comprising of an Electric Flow Boiler and Hot Water Storage Cylinder combination.

Is the Electromax the best Electric Combi Boiler for my home?

The ‘Electromax’ has two main components, a boiler which is responsible for supplying hot water to radiators or under-floor heating (depending on the model) and an independent hot-water cylinder which gives high-pressure water to all hot taps and outlets connected to the unit.

The ‘Electromax’ includes a 180 litre Stainless Steel Hot Water Cylinder which is encased within the boiler’s elegant enclosure. The hot-water cylinder is pre-set to only warm water during ‘off-peak’ hour, allowing homeowners to take advantage of ‘Economy 7’ electricity tariffs. Should homeowners require extra heated water during the day then a ‘Boost’ element can be provided to heat smaller quantities of water in a quicker time (typically in less than an hour).

As both components operate independently then each can be used as and when required, for example the ‘Electric Flow Boiler’ which provides central heating can be turned off during summer months without effecting hot water performance.

The ‘Electromax’ central heating is controlled via by a Programmable Room Thermostat which is situated away from the boiler/central heating unit; this can be used in conjunction with Thermostatic Radiator Valves to control the temperature of individual rooms.

The ‘Electromax’ control panel comes with numerous features including the ability to select a boiler mode e.g. hot water only, hot water boost and central heating only; users can also set desirable water temperatures and view the boiler’s status.

Size

The ‘Electromax’ was designed for sealed systems and is compact in size (see specification below for dimensions), it’s a floor-standing combination unit that will have no troubles fitting in standard domestic airing cupboards.

Verdict

If you’re looking for a compact unobtrusive solution for wet-heating and hot water supply then the ‘Electromax’ is just the ticket, the combination system can provide small to medium sized homes with sufficient hot water and central heating, whilst making sure homeowners don’t pay too much for their electricy by taking advantage of off-peak tariffs. The boiler is also silent during operation which makes it ideal for light sleepers.

Overview

From electric heating specialist Elunur comes ‘Mattira MAC15’ the ‘CMX15’ successor; a wall-mountable Electric Combi Boiler providing domestic hot water and central heating for small to medium sized homes.

Is the Mattira MAC15 the best Electric Combi Boiler for my home?

The ‘Mattira MAC15’ is one of the safest and most reliable electric boilers on today’s market and as they’re electric they don’t emit harmful gases during operation like those found in fossil fuel based alternatives (gas, LPG, oil…).

The ‘Mattira MAC15’ comes with a Smart Electronic Modulation System (SEM) which enables the boiler to regulate energy usage, taking into consideration ambient and external temperatures, meaning the boiler operates more efficiently whilst finding optimum comfort in your home. Thanks to SEM technology the boiler is able to adapt the heating capacity to the heating needs of the property, resulting in 100% energy efficiency and helping homeowners to save on energy costs.

Controlling the ‘Mattira MAC15’ is made easy thanks to an intuitive and user friendly digital display. Users can view temperature reports on heating and domestic hot water whilst choosing to activate hot-water only or central heating only yet there’s no option to run both simultaneously.

The ‘Mattira MAC15’ can be used with hot-water radiators or with radiant floor or overhead heating – the boiler can also work in combination with other heating systems e.g. solar panels, heat pumps, etc… giving homeowners extra ways to help cut energy bills.

Size

The ‘Mattira MAC15’ is a compact wall-mountable boiler (see specification below for dimensions) that is designed for internal installation, however consideration of the boiler’s total wait when full should be a priority when choosing a suitable wall.

Verdict

If you’re looking for a compact, safe and ultra-efficient use of electricity when heating your home then the ‘MAC15’ ticks all the boxes. The boiler’s stainless steel cylinder guarantees a long, corrosion-free life, reducing the need for maintenance; this is backed by a 5 year warranty with the boiler’s remaining components covered for a period of two years, giving homeowners complete peace of mind.
