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.

 

Z.

    If you put in a set of Henleys and a switch-fuse (which seems to be an excellent solution) the existing CU will be none of your business.

    These electric “boilers” (calorifiers) appal me. There is enough fuel poverty without adding to it!

    I can think of one or two houses that I visited in East Anglia in the 1980s that had one coal fire and that was it. No running hot water, or even running water of any sort indoors.

    And shilling-in-the-slot meters.
