Electric boiler

Is it easy to change a gas boiler to an electric one? Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost? And does Spain have a safety body like Corgi???? Think it’s called that
Thanks for reading

Apart from some simple plumbing alterations to the inlet and supply pipes it should be straight forward assuming you have sufficient space for the boiler. Not certain about the electric socket requirements but most have a dedicated one. If the boiler already has this it may be O.K. I would not think you need any special qualifications to remove a gas boiler, only to install it. Cost would depend on boiler size and make etc.

If it's a town gas boiler then you absolutely cannot remove it yourself and will need a qualified professional to do it for you and properly isolate the supply line.

I'm not aware of any equivalent to Corgi but there are legally qualified and registered gas engineers and it's one of those you would need.

In Spain electric boilers are generally only around 1.5 kW so assuming your house wiring is in good order they can safely be plugged into any available socket.

I would be interested in this too. Having invested a considerable amount of euros on solar power, I would like to replace my gas boiler which heats my hot water as well as my central heating radiators.
Does anyone know a plumber/central heating engineer that would be able to advise/instal and replace said gas boiler for an electric one?
Thanks, Paul.

I’m actually thinking about ditching my electric boiler and installing a small gas boiler for hot water only I’ve worked out it will save me about €600 a year and cost about €400 to buy and install and maybe €100 a year in 4 gas bottles.

I am curious why somebody would ditch Gas to go for electric am I missing something

..

I would suggest these people in Los Montesinos:-
