Immersion heater experts
What is an immersion heater?
An immersion heater is an electric heating element placed inside a hot water tank to heat water directly. It works independently of your central heating system, making it a versatile option for heating water. Immersion heaters can act as the primary source of hot water or serve as a backup to a boiler. They are particularly useful in homes without gas connections or as a supplementary water heating solution.
Advantages and disadvantages of an immersion heater
Advantages:
- Independent Operation: Immersion heaters don’t rely on a central heating system, providing hot water even if your boiler fails.
- Energy Source Flexibility: Suitable for homes without gas connections or for using renewable electricity sources.
- Backup Heating: Many households use immersion heaters as a backup option for their main hot water system.
Disadvantages:
- Higher Running Costs: Heating water with electricity is often more expensive than gas-powered systems.
- Time-Consuming: Heating a full tank of water can take longer than instant water heaters.
- Manual Operation: Unless connected to a timer, immersion heaters must be turned on and off manually to avoid wasting energy.
Immersion heater cost
The cost of installing or replacing an immersion heater depends on the type of heater and whether a new hot water tank is required:
- Immersion Heater Replacement: Replacing an existing immersion heater typically costs between £150 and £300, including parts and labor.
- Hot Water Tank Installation: Installing a new electric hot water tank with an immersion heater can cost £500 to £1,000, depending on the tank size and complexity of the installation.
- Running Costs: Operating a hot water immersion heater costs around £0.20 to £0.35 per kilowatt-hour, depending on electricity rates. Using a timer to heat water during off-peak hours can help reduce costs.
Other immersion heater and hot water tank FAQs
Can I change an immersion heater myself?
While it’s possible for someone with plumbing knowledge, it’s recommended to hire a professional to ensure safe installation and compliance with regulations.
How long does it take to heat water with an immersion heater?
Heating a full tank typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the tank size and the heater’s wattage.
Do immersion heaters work with solar panels?
Yes, immersion heaters can be connected to solar PV systems to use excess electricity for water heating, making them more energy-efficient.

This firm sub contracted out the work to a local plumber/carpenter who I found difficult to contact. I needed a new shower as he said he couldn`t repair it. I selected the cheapest one as I am upgrading my bathroom later this year. He couldn`t get it straight away so I selected a dearer one which he fitted. He then told me he was going away the next day. If I hadn`t selected the dearer one I would still be waiting! There is some moisture leaking but I really don`t want him again so I`ll wait and see.

I have no issue with the work they did, but they should routinely carry cleaning equipment such as brooms, dustpan and brush and a vacuum cleaner. They should not need to use mine, or ask me for a bucket to mix up plaster in. Finally they really should take their rubbish away or tell their clients the price does not include rubbish removal. Putting it in my neighbour’s bin and on my garden is unacceptable.

Contractors made arrangements to call, arrived on time, they seemed very nice & efficient; however we did not receive a quote as promised, when I queried it; he apologized saying he thought he had emailed me to say it would be late as he had broken his collarbone. Then I received a text saying he wasn't going to quote as he was off sick for 6 weeks, so unfortunately we are unable to rate his work...

The entrance door to my flat needed to be adjusted to meet fire regulations. I was really pleased with the result. Mani is a skilled man who worked with care and attention to detail.
