As it begins to get colder and the weather starts to worsen, it’s important that your home is warm and cosy. This means choosing the right heating system – ideally, one that is energy efficient, saves you money and gives you complete control. Quite simply, an electric heating system is the leading choice available, and a far better option than a gas heating system for a whole range of reasons.
In this post, the Ecowarm team takes a look at the differences between electric and gas heating, and why electric heating is the winner every single time.

What is the Difference Between Electric and Gas Heating?
Electric heating systems come in a variety of forms – usually they rely on separate heating appliances in each room in a property. For example, this can be a bar heater or a more complex network of storage heaters. Gas heating systems typically need a boiler to burn the fuel and heat water. Water is then circulated up through radiators or via pipes under the floor, gradually heating the home. The process of heating up the air in your rooms is called convection.
Why Choose Electric Heating?
Electric heating options are endless – whether it’s storage heaters or air-source heat pumps. They produce no carbon dioxide, and promote a better home air quality. Economically, they’re a smart choice as they have low to zero maintenance costs, unlike costly boilers. What’s more, electric heating systems such as Ecowarm’s have smart heating controls. This enables all homeowners to individually manage their heating. .
The Drawbacks of Gas Heating
On the other hand, gas heating comes with numerous disadvantages. First of all, it’s a less eco-friendly choice as gas boilers use fossil fuels – contributing significantly to global warming and climate change. In addition, boilers need regular maintenance and this can add up to substantial costs over time. Finally, the government has planned to implement a gas and oil boiler ban in newbuild homes from 2025, so choosing electric heating is a forward-thinking solution that’ll last for many years to come.
