Adveco: Electric Boiler Versus Immersion

In part 2 of Adveco’s exploration of electric water heating, we focus on electric boiler versus immersion for commercial hot water applications.

Very often, as a business-critical service, domestic hot water (DHW) can also be one of the key contributors to carbon emissions from commercial buildings.  As commercial organisations roll out their net zero strategy for the built estate, many are opting to transition to electricity as a means of heating water. This has led to an increase in the use of electrical immersions as a primary heat source, but this approach can have catastrophic results in terms of business continuity if the property is in a hard water area.  For this reason, Adveco is advocating a move to electric boilers to ensure system resilience, ease of maintenance and avoidance of costly damage.
