- LatteLazy 4y agoYou cannot get hot hot water, or high pressure hot water (for say a shower). You have to already have excellent insulation, something most UK homes lack. You actually pay a lot more for electricity than gas, so you lose most of what you gain in efficiency. The same is true for the carbon emissions. You cannot really use them in flats etc. They are triple the price of a new combi boiler. More if you need an electrical upgrade.
