Up until recently, getting hold of a compact electric combi boiler for smaller dwellings hasn’t really been an option.
Not every area or building has a gas supply, and with the gradual movement away from gas as an environmentally friendly fuel, the need for a small electric combi boiler is certainly growing.
Our favourite is produced by Trianco, who have been in the heating game a long time. (for well over 200 years, in fact!)
Trianco have come up with the Aztec Mini Electric Combi Boiler, which is available in 3 different kW ratings.
As with traditional combi boilers, this unit is designed to provide heat for the central heating (or underfloor heating) and the domestic hot water. This range of electric combi boilers are small enough to fit in a typical 500mm kitchen wall cupboard (580H x 360W x 230D) and have the benefit of a fully controllable programmer built into the unit. Everything else needed to run the boiler is also included and built in, including the pump, auto air vent, expansion vessel and pressure gauge.
Being electric, these combi boilers have no need for a flue, and it’s a single cable connection making installation pretty quick, neat and easy.
A really useful benefit is that this range of boilers are controllable via Wifi through the supplied Smart controls, and there is an app for smartphones enabling you to control your heating system from anywhere!
The 8kw version will happily drive 5 average sized radiators, the 10kw one will cope with 6/7 radiators and the 12kw model will serve 8/9 radiators. You will need to work out the correct size for your underfloor heating, and help for that can be found here.
Typical dwellings for these mini electric combi boilers would include small flats, studio apartments, cabins and garden rooms.
If you have a bath in the property, we suggest you look at this boiler instead of the mini.
So there it is, exactly what the smaller dwelling has been waiting for: a compact, efficient combi boiler for central heating, underfloor heating and domestic hot water without the need for gas! Oh, and it’s as close to silent as you’ll get.
