Electric boilers also differ due to the type of thermal insulation used: they can be insulated with polyurethane foam, sponge or polystyrene.We will also find non -insulated boilers on sale.

Is the use of an electric boiler economical?

Whether an electric boiler will be economical depends on its type, type of insulation and whether it is supported by photovoltaic panels, or whether the only source of energy comes from the network.

The economic boiler in the bathroom should be adapted by size to the number of people living at home.Connecting an electric boiler also requires calculation how much water we use.

Remember that if the boiler does not heat the water on a regular basis, and you can count the water consumption badly, then it may turn out that one of the household members will run out of hot water and he will have to wait for the water to heat up in the tank.

For four household members, a 120 -liter boiler is enough, but it all depends on individual differences and habits.
