Is anyone running an electric boiler for a 10bbl system?
We are considering electric steam as an option for a few reasons.
-Cost of purchase and shipping (significantly lower)
-We won't need to run new 3in gas service into our building.
-No exhaust plumbing. (w/gas, we would need to run exhaust from first floor through the second floor to the roof. Can't vent through the wall because property line)
Aside from higher operating costs, what are the downsides to electric steam? Electric boiler manufacturers really tout their efficiency, and from my research it seems the operating cost might not be massively different from gas steam.
Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks.
