12kW Electric Boiler.

Zoomup

Helllllooooo,

I have been asked to install  new consumer unit for a couple as they are having a company supply and install a new 12kW Heatrae Sadia electric “boiler”. Has anyone any comments about such a beast. Any experiences of these please? Rather than supply it from a new consumer unit by a B50 M.C.B. I have considered supplying it from a dedicated switch fuse with a suitable H.R.C. cartridge fuse.

 

Thoughts anyone?

 

The makes are based in Norwich. Well I have only just learned that. I have no connection with Heatrae Sadia.

    I have estimated to have a new Old style tried and tested Wylex 60 Amp. switch fuse installed with an H.R.C. fuse, next to the consumer unit. The electric boiler installers will run the supply cable from the new switchfuse to the electric boiler. I am not involved with that. I envisage a 10.0mm2 or 16mm2 circuit will be required. The run is about 15 metres in length. Personally I am not happy with the decision to have the new electric boiler installed in place of an existing oil boiler. At least with oil there is a back up in case of a mains failure, even if a small U.P.S. is needed for ignition and pump. Oh well, it's the customers' decision.
