    I skipped heating the water with electricity after this test and I continue to heat it with pellets even in summer because it is a bit cheaper.


    And have you thought about the G12as tariff? Electricity during the day costs the same as in G11, but almost 3x cheaper at night (approx. PLN 0.20 / kWh). When using it, it is more profitable to heat with a heater than with pellets, sometimes even in winter. Unfortunately, there are some limits, so because of this test, you should wait a year, reducing electricity consumption during this time.

    NOx emitted in summer by gas and pellet boilers etc. increases ozone pollution. It is not worth using them when there is a more convenient and cheaper alternative up your sleeve.

    It's weird your wear. Do you have a heat-insulated boiler or do you not have a calcareous heater? .
    I live with four adults, my in-laws have a shower, we have a bath, we do not save hot water, daily bathing, washing dishes, etc. and daily consumption in the summer season is from 8 to 10kw / h, which gives a maximum of 300kw / h per month, but at the price 0.25 groszy for 1 kw / h, the monthly cost is a maximum of PLN 75, but most often it is below PLN 70
    Hot water is profitable to heat electrically, but with tariffs G12 or G12W, the boiler should be connected to the socket via a timer (cost PLN 40) and then each 1 kW / h taken costs not 60 groszy, but 25 groszy. At a price of 60 groszy, there is no point in heating with electricity.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the usage and costs associated with electric boilers for domestic hot water heating. Users share insights on the monthly electricity costs for different boiler sizes, with estimates ranging from PLN 60 to PLN 300 depending on usage patterns and tariffs. The Ariston brand is frequently mentioned, particularly the Ariston Velis 80L model, which is noted for its efficiency in heating water to around 45 degrees Celsius. Participants discuss the impact of different electricity tariffs (G11, G12, G12W) on overall costs, with suggestions for using timers to optimize heating during cheaper rates. The conversation also touches on heat loss, water temperature maintenance, and comparisons with gas heating systems. Overall, the forum provides a comprehensive overview of factors influencing electric boiler efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
