Is an Electric Boiler Right for You?

Installation, servicing and repairs for electric boilers

Electric boilers are a popular choice for London flats and properties without mains gas — no flue, no gas safety certification, and typically a quicker, simpler installation. RARE's engineers install, service and repair electric boilers to the same exacting standard as our gas work, backed by a survey and fixed, transparent pricing.

  • No mains gas supply to the property
  • Existing electric boiler is over 10 years old
  • Frequent trips, no heat, or no hot water
  • Looking for a quieter, flue-free heating solution
  • Renovating a flat with restricted flue options
  • Want to reduce reliance on fossil fuels

Why Electric

Why London flats are going electric

Electric boilers are increasingly popular across prime London — particularly in leasehold flats where flue routes are restricted or impossible, and in properties looking to decarbonise their heating without installing a heat pump.

With no combustion, no flue and no gas safety certification required, electric boilers are simpler to install, quieter in operation and require less ongoing maintenance. Running costs are higher per kWh than gas, but for well-insulated flats with modest heat demand, the total cost of ownership can be comparable — and they future-proof your property against evolving gas regulations.
