Potterton Gold 9kw Heat Only Electric Boiler

Sitting in the middle of the Gold electric range, the Potterton Gold 9kw Heat Only Electric Boiler suits homes that need more heat than a small flat but cannot use gas. It runs a standard wet radiator system with no flue, so it can go on an inside wall or in a cupboard.

Choosing a 9kW electric boiler

A 9kW output often fits larger flats and smaller houses, but the heat loss figure should make the call. If you are converting from storage heaters, this size gives you proper radiators with room stat and TRV control. Add the Potterton Gold indirect cylinder for hot water. The boiler works on sealed or open vented systems.

Common Questions

Is there an electric boiler for central heating? Yes, the Potterton Gold 9kW is one. It runs a wet system with ordinary radiators and TRVs, controlled by a programmer, pump and room thermostat.

How does an electric boiler work? Electricity heats the system water directly and the pump sends it round your radiators. The Gold 9kW is solid state with nothing moving inside, and its soft start and zero volt switching stop it causing power surges.

Do electric boilers need a flue? No, so the Gold 9kW can go in most suitable spots indoors. That’s handy where a gas boiler flue would be awkward to run.

Can the Potterton Gold 9kW give me hot water? Not on its own, as it’s heat only. Connect a Potterton Gold indirect cylinder and it will heat your domestic hot water as well.

Can I use the Gold 9kW with underfloor heating? No, this model isn’t suitable for underfloor heating. It’s designed to run radiators.

How do I set the water temperature on the Gold 9kW? There’s a min/max control for the output temperature, and the front panel shows you what the boiler is doing.

Before it goes on the wall in Glasgow

A 9kW load is big for a domestic supply, so the electrician has to check the main fuse and cable route at the start. Run the system in 22mm pipe, as Potterton call for, and fit a programmer, room stat and pump to suit. The boiler has a soft start and zero volt switching to stop power surges, and a min and max knob for water temperature. Since it burns nothing, there is no flue to check and no gas certificate to keep up.
