Electric heating has evolved enormously since the days of the night storage heater. The biggest advantage for any landlord is that you no longer have to make a choice between your maintenance overheads and the comfort and efficiency of the heating you provide for your tenants. You can have the best of both worlds with modern electric heating.
You only heat the rooms you need
One of the big benefits of electricity for you as a landlord is that electric radiators not only heat rapidly, but your tenants don’t have to run the entire system just to heat their bedroom at night. It’s considerably more energy efficient as a process as there’s no wasted heat, and energy transfer from a plugged in radiator is almost 100% efficient. Your tenants can choose not to heat those rooms used less frequently and you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing that, should one radiator fail, the entire heating system isn’t compromised.
Manual or smart controls
With modern electric heating systems, you can implement either familiar manual controls or, better yet, smart controls from your mobile. This not only benefits your tenants, who’ll have the opportunity to cut their bills by precisely heating their home from their smartphone, but it ensures you’ll have complete control over the system when the property is empty.
Electric is simple
There’s no lengthy installation process, as a full heating system can be fitted in a day. You’ll eliminate the need for gas safety checks too, which can add an extra layer of bureaucracy to your duties as a landlord. Plus, with so much investment in the future of electricity, why not get in ahead of the curve?
