Industrial electric hot water boilers are another option for producing hot water, especially in applications with unique constraints or environmental considerations. However, they may not always be the most practical solution for large-scale or energy-intensive systems. We can incorporate electric hot water boilers into comprehensive heating system designs where they align with the project’s objectives.

Electric hot water boilers heat water using resistive heating elements or electrodes powered by electricity. The heated water is then circulated through a closed-loop system to meet the heating demands of the application. Unlike combustion boilers, electric hot water boilers do not rely on burners or fuel, simplifying the overall system design.
While electric hot water boilers can offer high efficiency in converting electricity to heat, their operating costs are heavily influenced by electricity prices. Additionally, they are typically more appropriate for applications with moderate heating requirements, as they are less effective for large-scale systems compared to combustion boilers.
Choosing the right electric hot water boiler for your application requires evaluating a a variety of different factors:
Electric boilers do not produce on-site emissions, making them appealing in areas with strict environmental regulations. However, the overall carbon footprint depends on the electricity source.
Electric boilers operate near 99% efficiency, but the cost of electricity often makes them less economical for large-scale or high-demand applications
These boilers are better suited for small to medium loads due to electrical grid limitations and higher operational costs at larger scales.
With fewer mechanical components, electric hot water boilers require less regular maintenance than combustion boilers.
Electric hot water boilers are often used in applications where emissions, noise, or space are significant considerations. Typical uses include:
While combustion boilers remain at the heart of most industrial systems, we recognise that electric hot water boilers can play a role in certain specialised applications. By integrating them into broader system designs, we ensure they complement your overall energy strategy, leveraging our experience in package plant rooms, system integration, and combustion solutions.
