Estimated 24kw heat loss going off your room sizes
Discuss Electric heat only boiler installation advice for a charity please in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net
You've come on a public forum and asked advise, you've been given that advise by people from all areas, be it oil like myself and a few others, to mains gas, lpg and electrics. Of course you're going to be given plenty of options because like I said this forum is full with specialist in different areas.
I'm not being nasty in anyway, I'm just saying people gave their opinion based on what you asked.

I understand that, and I appreciate it. But you must also understand that you are not dealing with a moron DIY enthusiast here.
In real life I refurbish properties, commission trades etc. and therefore I do have an idea of what I’m talking about.
I look at everything from all angles, and I’ve already had to discount the use of the oil system after considering all alternatives.
We’ve already taken into account the fact that if in future the landlord decides to meter our electricity supply we may at that point have to then make a decision to change the electric boiler to LPG - in which case the plumbing will already be installed - we may even be given an LPG boiler in a few months. But in the meantime we need a means of providing heating.

Thank you, based on what input? We’re aiming for proving a basic level of minimal background heat throughout most of the building.
heatloss calc of the building
34m long by 8m wide by 4m tall
50mm insulated roof
Concrete floor
Wall block and brick
at 18dc when outside is -10
So will a 12KW boiler be sufficient?
no would need two at the min
so min 100 amps just for them
Are you basing that on heating to domestic comfort levels? We don’t require that sort of temperature to be maintained.
