: I am looking at replacing a less than 20 hp low pressure steam boiler in a nursing home where I work. With the rising NG prices is electric looking more attractive? It would certainly make installation easier. Is electric steam reliable and low maintenance?
Is an electric boiler cheaper to operate than a natural gas fired boiler even with current natural gas costs? You need to figure the cost per thousand pounds of steam for both fuels.
