When it comes to choosing a new boiler for your home, one of the main factors to consider is the running cost. Gas boilers and electric boilers are the two most common types, and it’s important to weigh up the pros and cons of each to determine which one is cheaper to run.
At N J Lees Plumbing & Heating Ltd, we are experienced in installing both gas and electric boilers. Here’s a comparison of the two types to help you decide which one is right for you:
Gas boilers: Gas boilers are typically cheaper to run than electric boilers, as natural gas is generally a more affordable fuel source. However, the cost of running a gas boiler will depend on the price of natural gas in your area, as well as the efficiency of the boiler itself.
Electric boilers: Electric boilers are generally more expensive to run than gas boilers, as electricity is generally a more expensive fuel source. However, electric boilers are simpler to install and don’t require a flue, so they can be a good option if you don’t have a chimney or if you live in an apartment.
It’s worth noting that the upfront cost of an electric boiler is generally lower than that of a gas boiler. However, the ongoing running costs are likely to be higher, so it’s important to consider the long-term cost when making a decision.
