What Is An Electric Water Heater?

What is an electric water heater?

Commonly used in commercial, and industrial settings to provide a steady supply of hot water for various purposes, such as bathing, cooking, cleaning, and heating spaces, electric water heaters operate by converting electrical energy into heat through resistive heating elements submerged in the water. These elements are controlled by thermostats to maintain the desired water … Read more

Electric boiler Versus Immersion

Electric boiler versus immersion

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 … Read more

Understanding Electric Water Heating For Commercial Buildings

Electric water heating has quickly become the predominant choice for commercial new builds for specification, meeting the demands of Part L and securing necessary BREEAM points. For organisations currently reliant on gas for their water heating needs, the impetus is to look at alternatives as part of wider sustainability strategies, with electricity being an obvious … Read more

Restoring Solar Thermal On Commercial Buildings

Solar thermal collectors installed on a rooftop

Adveco considers the opportunities for restoring solar thermal systems… For more than a decade at the start of the 21st Century, the government drove efforts to explore the validity of solar renewables, first solar photovoltaics for generation or electricity and later solar thermal as a means of capturing solar energy onsite for water heating. Purchasing … Read more

Building In Sustainability With Heat Pumps

air source heat pump

Adveco explores how commercial organisations should approach building in sustainability with heat pumps… The implementation of low-carbon water heating is one of the fastest, low-impact means of introducing sustainability into an existing commercial building. A considered, well-designed replacement system will reduce carbon emissions by at least half compared to equivalent-sized gas-fired water heating and likely … Read more
