When a boiler is on its last legs

A dying boiler forces a decision most people would rather not make in a hurry. Replacing it with another gas boiler is the default, but it is not the only route — and if you are already thinking about solar, or the flue is awkward, or you simply want combustion out of the house, electric is worth pricing properly rather than dismissing.

The switch, side by side

Before — the system we take out

After — what replaces it

No boiler maintenance

No annual service, no gas safety certificate, no combustion — there is no boiler left to maintain.

No pipework to leak

Electric radiators hold no water, so the leak and flood risk of a wet system leaves with the boiler.

Room-by-room control

Every room gets its own thermostat and schedule, instead of one dial in the hallway running the whole house.

A fast changeover

Most jobs take one to two days, sequenced so you are not left without heating or hot water.

Ready for solar

An all-electric system pairs directly with solar PV and battery storage — which is where the running costs come down.

15-year warranty

The radiators carry a 15-year warranty, with all the relevant paperwork and certification provided on completion.

The whole job, handled

  1. Free home survey

    We visit, measure each room and look at how you actually live in the house. Heat output is sized per room — a guess made over the phone is how people end up cold in the room they use most.

  2. A written recommendation

    You get a clear proposal setting out what we would install, why that specification, and what it costs. No pressure and no obligation to go ahead.

  3. Removal and disposal

    We cap off the gas supply, remove the boiler and the old radiators, and dispose of everything properly. Making good afterwards is part of the job.

  4. Installation and handover

    We install, test and then show you how to run it. Getting the controls right is most of the saving, so we do not leave until you know how to use them.

What the switch involves

We replace the boiler and its wet radiator circuit with electric heating sized per room, and the hot water cylinder with a system suited to the property. There is no flue to route, no gas connection to maintain and no annual gas safety inspection. The electrical supply and consumer unit need checking as part of the survey — sometimes an upgrade is required, and we will tell you that up front rather than on the day.

Being straight about running costs

Electricity costs more per unit than gas. A well-designed electric system earns its keep through control — heating only the rooms in use, only when they are in use — and through pairing with solar PV and battery storage where that suits the property. We would rather show you honest numbers at survey than sell you a saving that does not appear on your bill.

Guided from survey to switch-on

Coming off gas is a bigger decision than swapping one boiler for another, and it can feel like a daunting project. It should not be. From the first free survey through to the on-site work you deal with one dedicated team, and once the new system is running we keep in touch to make sure you are happy with how it is set up and performing.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What replaces the boiler for hot water?
A thermal heat battery — a compact, modern water heater that stores thermal energy and delivers hot water at mains pressure. It takes a fraction of the space of a cylinder and can charge on off-peak electricity or from solar PV.
Will my wiring need upgrading?
In most cases, no — it is unlikely that the wiring needs upgrading to accommodate electric radiators. The survey checks the incoming supply and consumer unit regardless, and if an upgrade is needed you will know before you commit, not on installation day.
What happens to the old gas system?
We cap off the gas supply, remove the boiler and the old radiators, and dispose of everything properly. Making good afterwards is part of the job.
What can I replace my night storage heaters with?
Usually either modern electric radiators controlled room by room, or high heat retention storage heaters where your tariff still rewards off-peak charging. Which suits you depends on the tariff, the building and how you use the house — that is what the free survey establishes.
Which electric radiator is the most efficient?
Honestly, they are all essentially 100% efficient at the point of use — every unit of electricity becomes heat in the room. What varies between systems is control: whether you can heat only the rooms you are using, only when you are using them. That is where the saving comes from, not from any particular radiator.
Can I replace my gas boiler with electric heating?
Yes. We replace gas boilers and their radiator circuits with electric heating and hot water, which removes the flue, the gas connection and the annual gas safety inspection. Electricity costs more per unit than gas, so at survey we will be straight with you about running costs and about whether solar or battery storage changes the picture.
Do you remove and dispose of the old system?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old storage heaters, convector heaters, boilers and cylinders is part of the job, and we make good afterwards.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Bournemouth and work across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset and Devon, and into West Sussex, Surrey, London, Kent, East Sussex and Oxfordshire.
Are you certified?
Yes. Dynamic Heaters is MCS certified, NAPIT approved, RECC registered and an approved Sunamp installer.
Do you charge for a survey?
No. The home survey and the written recommendation that follows it are free and carry no obligation.
Do you work on social housing and commercial projects?
Yes. Alongside private homes we have completed social housing heating and hot water upgrades, including a New Forest District Council project covering sixteen properties, and community buildings such as a village hall in Lytchett Matravers.
