Here are three big benefits to electric heating…
Energy efficiency
Keeping costs low for oil and electricity supplies is paramount, especially if you are a business owner, landlord, facilities manager, or run a hotel or bed and breakfast. The proper installation of electric radiators throughout your property is a very cost-effective, and extremely eco-friendly move.
Electric heating doesn’t waste energy. While boiler-based heating allows energy to escape through its flue, 100% of the electricity used to power electric radiators is directly converted to heat. This means that considerably less energy is needed for electric radiators than oil equivalents, which saves in long-term running expenses.
Electric radiators also allow you to easily control room temperature, at different levels, in different parts of the building, which is another extremely cost-effective bonus!
Reliability
Installing electric radiators is relatively cheap and very simple. Their greatest advantage is that no pipework needs laying for their installation. As long as you have power points where you need them, installing new electric radiators is painless, quick, and stress-free. This is a great advantage when renovating a house, which comes with so many complications it’s great to be able to make something simple!
Health and safety are of paramount importance, especially in commercial businesses that offer any form of bed and board, such as hotels, hospitals or care homes. Electric radiators don’t burn fuel internally, and as such do not carry the risk of exploding, or leaking poisonous carbon monoxide fumes. They have no pipes to burst, which can be an extremely costly event, especially in a property left empty in the winter.
As an extra bonus, there are almost no moving parts in electric radiators, meaning very little can break down or wear out. As a result, they last 50% longer, on average, than oil alternatives.
Energy of the future
Electricity is the energy of the future, with energy providers heavily investing in new methods of producing eco-friendly energy, like wind farms, solar panels, and tidal energy, which don’t rely on non-renewable sources such as coal and oil. Even the future of cars is electric!
