Cost efficient
Electric radiators are extremely cost efficient thanks to the ease of installation required. Our German electric radiators don’t rely on any pipe work or boilers and can be easily installed straight into your existing electrical circuit. If you’re replacing an existing heating system there is only minimal disruption, which can be particularly important if installing into a business. You can also choose to install electric heaters as stand alone units or as part of a system working within your budget. Another benefit of electric heaters is that you can control the temperature of each individual room, so you won’t waste energy and heat in rooms that you’re not using.
Energy efficient
Electric radiators are very energy efficient and eco friendly. Electric radiators use 100% of the electricity used to power them to convert into heat. A boiler based heating system is not as efficient because heat can escape through the flue and there is significant heat loss as the water is heated and travels around the network of pipes, meaning greater energy is required to heat a room, which will increase the long term running costs.
Increased reliability
As electric heaters don’t have any moving parts there is no need for ongoing maintenance, which is a requirement for a wet heating system. On average an electric heating system lasts 50% longer than its gas counterpart mainly due to the fact that it doesn’t need maintenance or replacement parts.
On top of all these benefits – electric heaters are also environmentally friendly, using the most likely major energy source to be used in the future – electricity. New methods of generating electrical energy are being developed from solar panels, wind farms and tidal processes to increase electrical energy volumes.
