No more boiler problems
Talk to anyone with gas central heating and you’ll find that the worry of a boiler breakdown looms eternally over their head. The cost of boiler repair can be great and the question of a complete boiler replacement is a huge worry to most. Some households try to save money by paying for monthly boiler insurance, only to find when a problem arises their boiler is not covered for it anyway.
Gas safety costs
Landlords especially are seeing the benefits of switching to electric heating. It’s far less likely to breakdown in your absence and is also safer, eradicating the need for gas safety checks or installing carbon monoxide alarms.
Modern lifestyles
Many modern lifestyles make gas a poor choice in heating. Some of us have second homes or holiday homes or travel for work a lot. Electric heating is better for these people as it takes less time to get started and can be left off for long periods of time without worries about pipes freezing.
Room by room
One of the main reasons to say goodbye to gas central heating is the fact that it’s an all or nothing choice of heating. Either you have it on throughout the house or you don’t. Electric radiators can be set independently of one another with individual timers, so you can set your bedroom radiator to come on just before bed, but your lounge one to come on just before you sit down in the evening. Electric heating works around you rather than the other way around.
More and more households are saying goodbye to gas. In other words, they’re saying goodbye to costly boiler repairs, to heating rooms unnecessarily and to the worry of gas safety certification. To make the switch to electric heating in the Bristol area, contact West Country Heating today.
