Crap compared to a new combi and will cost you a ton more to run. As someone thar works in the industry I dont think electric boilers can compare to gas boilers, air source are expensive to install, require a lot of upgrades and expensive to run. Right now at this stage with the cost of gas and leccy, gas is cheaper no matter where its coming from. You could fit a solar panel and have the electricity coming from it to heat your water in an unvented cylinder, the payback from the grid now makes it worthless.

does anyone have any experience of an electric combi boiler in place of a gas one? I'm looking to buy a flat with the gas supply and boiler sat in a bedroom and thinking of doing away with it, getting the gas removed and getting an electric boiler fitted somewhere more discrete.
are they worth using or total rubbish?
