What is the hot water for?

Just set fire to some local junkies.

Electric is much cheaper until you switch it on!

I hope that helps.....

My question is :

Can any modern day electric water heaters compete with gas boilers in regard to water heating?
I need at least 20 minutes of constant hot water.
Are there any such electric boilers out there on the market?

What is the area of the unit to be heated? and what facilities are installed currently?

Will you need to spend capital on installing a new gas boiler?

Some properties do not have a Gas Supply. Have you checked that there is a Gas Supply to the property.

Personally I would opt for Electric ONLY.

Electric is best for a retail unit - what are you retailing ?

Not a silly question, you fucking tube. You are assuming that it is for heating, which is a silly assumption as the OP stated that the requirement was for 20 minutes a day. It's more likely to be for something completely different, and without knowing the amount of water, and the temperature required, comparisons are pointless.
