    ELECTRIC boiler needed (- Potterton Gold Electric 12V?) - nr Ashford,Kent

    Has anyone fitted one of these - is it simple? (It is to replace an old oil boiler in a small bungalow) We have no gas and cant afford a new oil boiler, so this seems the ideal solution, although we realise the running costs are higher. - is the Potterton 12KW one good?
