The low installation cost and versatility offered by electric heating makes it a much more viable prospect for developers in new build properties, and is also widespread as a retrofitted option for the energy-conscious consumer.
The increase in popularity for electrical heating systems can largely be put down to its demand in new developments, particularly in multi-abode complexes such as retirement villages, flats and student accommodation. Fitting and maintaining gas systems in these types of building can be extremely costly and, for landlords, there is also the ongoing issue of having boilers checked and serviced in each property. In comparison, electric heating systems are not only easier to install, but are more receptive to the individual needs of the tenant. Programmable electric radiators for each room or each zone of the house can be modified to fit individual occupant routines and more advanced models with movement sensors can also switch the appliance off when it detects no persons present. In any household, tailoring heating from room to room can be a much more effective approach to heating, especially if it needs to adapt around various individual lifestyles. For additional peace of mind, there is zero risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from electric radiators as they contain no fuel burning elements, unlike gas systems.
Older properties can also benefit from modern electric heating solutions. Whether it’s as a standalone heating system or to supplement an existing one, electric heating in older homes can still be effective as it allows users to heat individual rooms that see more use rather than running the entire central heating system. Today’s fast-paced society means that typical homeowners need heating that is quicker to respond and more customisable than manual dial thermostats which is what makes the advanced programming facilities offered by electric more convenient to use. Designed to be hardwearing and reliable, electric heaters and radiators will last for years and are ideal even for listed buildings which can be stymied by regulations if any alterations to the property need to be made. If you have access to a home wind turbine or solar panels, the self-generated green energy will mean that your electric system will be entirely carbon neutral and could significantly cut your bills. This makes electric systems perfect for eco properties or households that are particularly environmentally conscious.
