Changing the heating system in your home may seem like a hassle you just don’t need.
But what if you could do so in a quick and easy way, whilst saving money, ensuring your family’s safety, and future-proofing your home?
Electric radiators can offer you all this and more, and we have put together this quick guide sharing just a few of the many benefits of making the switch.
Efficiency
With electric radiators, there is no energy wasted, with every last watt taken from the mains supply converted into heat energy. Not only does this make electric heating 100% efficient, saving you significant amounts of money on your heating bills, you will also have the option of combining your system with a renewable electricity source powered by wind, solar, or a heat pump in the future.
This will make your heating even more efficient as you will both ensure that no energy is lost during the conversion from electricity to heat but also reduce the amount of electricity you need to pay for in the first place.
Electric radiators are, therefore, a fantastic way to save yourself some money on fuel bill immediately after installation, as well as protecting yourself and your family for the future by installing a system completely compatible with renewable energy sources.
Responsiveness
When you turn on your heating system, you want your home to heat up as quickly as possible. Electric radiators excel at this, heating the air around them from the moment you turn them on and will be running at maximum efficiency in under 10 minutes. They take far less time to heat up than gas or oil fuelled radiators and will quickly bring the room up to your desired temperature.
Electric radiators also allow you to have far more control over the temperature in individual rooms as well as having the heating come on in some rooms at certain times but not in others.
Gas central heating is normally controlled by a single thermostat meaning that your entire house’s heating is dependent on the temperature in one room. You will often have to turn it up simply to heat other rooms to the initial temperature set, wasting money over heating unused rooms in the meantime.
Electric radiators offer far more flexibility and overall better control over your heating system in this regard, maximising fuel economy and ensuring every room in your house is warmed just the way you like it.
More control
When you purchase a smart radiator, you will be able to access and control your electric heating system from on the go using your smartphone.
Whether you want to set your heating on the way back from work to make sure your home is nice and warm when you arrive, or simply want the convenience of being able to adjust the temperature from the comfort of the sofa, electric heating offers you unrivalled flexibility and customisation.
Fast Installation
Not only are electric radiators easy to use, but they are also easy to install. People are often put off the hassle of changing their heating system due to having to extend or replace existing pipework or the expense of fitting an entire boiler.
None of this will be the case when you install electric radiators in your home. If you have some basic DIY experience and a decent enough toolbox lying around, you can even install them yourself. As there is no water involved in electric heating you won’t have to worry about connecting pipes or accidental flooding you can simply plug in and off you go.
If you would rather not complete the installation on your own, or simply don’t have the time, then Greener Energy Group’s highly trained first-class installers will have you up and running in no time at all.
Portability
The ease of installation offered by electric heating Glasgow means that it is also very easy to move your radiators around your home if required. If you decide to change the layout of a room and an electric radiator is no longer in an ideal location, you can simply move it somewhere else better suited.
You might also wish to test how the heat generated by your radiator moves around the room and try out your new electric radiators in different places. With traditional central heating, this is much more of a task, and you will require professional help if you ever wish to move your radiators.
Safety
Electric radiators are a much safer alternative to gas and oil central heating due simply to the fact that they don’t rely upon the constant burning of fuel.
Carbon monoxide leaks or gas explosions are a terrifying and genuine threat from traditional heating systems which will be eliminated immediately if you choose to switch to electric.
