Do you want to install an electric boiler? Congratulations, you have chosen the right appliance! If all electric boilers work on the same principle – to consume electricity to produce heat – they do not use all the same technologies. Zoom on the different types of electric boilers, and our advice to avoid mistakes. <\/em><\/p>\n

The different types of electric boilers: comparative table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How it works <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 Benefits <\/strong><\/td>\n Disadvantages <\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Classic Boiler <\/strong><\/td>\nThis is the most common type of boiler. The water is heated by electrical resistance <\/strong> before being injected into the heating circuit. It then emits heat via transmitters (radiators, floor heating, etc.).<\/p>\n

  • Is unfortunately usually not eligible for state aid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ionic Boiler <\/strong><\/td>\nThis technology is more complex. To summarize, heat is generated from electrons and water molecules that together release energy and heat the water.<\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Appliance less bulky than a conventional electric boiler<\/li>\n
  • Yield close to 100%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n

  • Its cost 4 to 5 times higher than a classic model (between 10 000 and 16 000 \u20ac)<\/li>\n
  • Watch out for obsolescence<\/li>\n
  • Usually not eligible for state aid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Induction boiler <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

On the same principle as induction hobs, heat is generated by an electromagnet in contact with metal.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
