benefits of electric heating

With gas prices continually rising electric heating is becoming an increasingly attractive option and growing in popularity amongst homebuilders, renovators, developers and specifiers.
The majority of people do prefer the conventional central heating radiator, as it is the most accepted method to warm a room.
Heat Electric radiators work on exactly the same principle yet require no plumbing, pipe work, boiler or connection to a water supply.
Heat Electric radiators therefore provide all the benefits of gas central heating, without the problematic installation, servicing and maintenance costs.

Quick and easy to install

Heat Electric radiators are very easy and quick to install, ensuring minimal disruption and lower costs. The radiator mounts onto unobtrusive wall fixings
and is simply plugged into an electrical socket.

Low running costs

Research has shown that in a modern, well insulated home, electric heating can often be cheaper to run than gas or other fuels for a number of reasons:

Exceptional efficiency levels

In a traditional fossil fuel system, as much as 30% of the heat produced is vented to atmosphere through the flue.
As Heat Electric radiators units are independent all power consumed is converted into heat.

Maintenance free

With virtually no moving parts Heat Electric radiators are reliable, maintenance free and unlike other systems, do not require annual safety checks.
This is an obvious saving when considering the total running cost of an electric system.

Comfortable and Controllable

Electric heating provides unmatched levels of comfort, 24 hours a day.
With Heat Electric radiators individual room temperatures can be adjusted to suit occupancy ensuring a relaxing living environment.

Reliable and safe

Since Heat Electric radiators do not produce carbon monoxide or any other harmful gases, there is no risk of explosion or danger from poisonous fumes.
Heat Electric radiators are maintenance free which ensures complete peace of mind for all of our customers.

Electric Heaters

Electric heaters are electrical appliances that change electrical energy into heat. Electric heaters consist of an electrical resistor. There are various types of electric heaters, and nearly all of them use the same physical principle to produce heat. However, they differ from each other in the way they deliver heat to the environment. Radiative electric heaters generally produce the most intense form of heat through a heating element within. Convection heaters heat the air through a heating element within by means of conduction. Fan electric heaters are a form of convection electric heaters, which include electric fans to speed up airflow.

Electric Heating

The effect of electric heating is mainly related to the production of electricity. The environmental impact of electric heating is actually dependant on the kind of electricity it consumes. Electric heating has a greater effect on the environment than heat pumps that provide the same amount of heat. Heat pumps are capable of providing larger amounts of heat, but the heat produced by electric heating is better. However, direct electric heating is generally not considered ecologically pleasant because most electricity uses fossil fuels, with up to two-thirds of energy in the fuel being lost at the power stations and in transmission losses.

Electric Radiators

Electric radiators consist of an electric resistance unit that is fixed in a reflector. Heat is generated when an electric current passes through this unit. A substantial portion of this heat is transferred from electric radiators by radiation. Initially, electric radiators were also known as ‘wet` system electric radiators. Electric radiators can be simply plugged into the usual wall sockets. For electric radiators to work efficiently, you can spur wire electric radiators into existing storage heating sockets, and then take the wire back to a unique control box. Professional electric radiator providers should obtain electric radiators for you so that you can have complete guidance about how to use them.
