Why choose electric heating system? Here are the Five Reasons why choose an electric heating: energy efficient, better heating controls, more sustainable with renewable energy, building regulation compliance, safer that alternative heating solution, and maintenance free.
Why you should choose an electric heating system, the main benefits, what to look out for, and what you can do to be more energy efficient and save money on your bills. New regulations Part L1 and 2 enforcing lower temperature settings are radically changing the future of electric heating and Creative Radiators deliver total compliance, carbon neutral emissions and maximum energy efficiency.
Advantages of Electric Heating explained:
1-Sustainable with renewable Energy
Its hard to imagine a totally maintenance free heating system without the need for annual servicing, annual safety checks and all the paraphernalia of replacing or disposing of a ‘wet’ system with pipes, steel components and massive boilers and fuel storage tanks. But as all Creative Radiators and made from recycled marble stones, there is nothing to test, go wrong, repair or dispose of, and this system will ensuring optimum performance for minimum electricity usage. When you move house, or even move business premises, you can lift the designer radiators off the walls, take them with you and hang them on the walls in your new place. No fuss, no bother, and best of all – no further expense! Think of all the gas safety checks, servicing bills, call outs and mid-winter repair bills you will never ever need to pay again.
2-Building Regulation Compliance and accreditation’s
The building regulations that cover the energy performance of new and existing buildings have been revamped for England and Wales. The changes to Part L of the regulations are a stepping-stone on the way to the Future Homes Standard.
Creative Radiators electric heating systems are fully compliant with all parts of the Lot 20 – ECO Design Regulations 2022, including the new lower heating temperature update in Part L1 and 2 , which requires all new properties to provide evidence of a CO2 reduction in emissions by at least 31% on previous legislation.
Here are some more highlights for electric heating solutions:
Updated SAP – Standard Assessment Procedure, which gives guidance on how a home’s energy performance is calculated to version 10.2, including a reduction in carbon factors for electricity to reflect increasing renewable generation.
– New central heating systems should be sized for a maximum flow temperature of 55°C
– The appliance should be appropriately sized for the heat load of the property
– Exposed pipework must be insulated
– Thermostatic Radiator Valves on all radiators, except where the room thermostat is fitted
– Mandatory airtightness test for all homes
– Signed Buildings Regulations Compliance Report (BREL) and photographic evidence of build quality to be provided to the homeowner
With Electric Heating the new ZONING Regulation for a self-regulating control is achieved by every individual electric radiator having its own programmable smart thermostat which is fully programmable, 24/7 to 0.1 of a degree, creating instant heating ZONES, in every room – without the need for an additional cost dial on the wall in each hallway… This means that accurate temperatures are maintained in every room according to the customer’s needs. (You may want the kitchen cooler, the bathroom warmer, the bedrooms cool and the living room toastie!) Every degree is an extra 70£ extra cost per radiators
3-Renewable Energy
As our electric radiators are made from compressed marble stones, plus all the ecodesign energy saving features they deliver more ?? heat, more effectively than the old fashioned steel radiators, saving at least 30% of energy used and reducing energy costs immediately. They can also use your rooftop PV solar panels and reduce your energy consumption still further from the National Grid. For a large commercial premises, this could enable you to be completely self-sufficient in green, renewable energy, as well as being carbon neutral for your Co2 regulation annual returns to Government.
4-Revolutionary Advanced Heating Controls
A complete step-change from the old fashioned ways of turning on a massive bulky 26KW Boiler, chugging away 26KW x 20pKw = £5.40/hour to pump hot water around miles of cold pipes, with the only basic analogue temperature control situated in a draughty hallway. Add to that the old ‘thermostatic rad valves’ that do NOT have any thermostats in them, but merely reduced the flow of hot water from 1 to 5, to reduce the surface temperature of each radiator, and air blockages in radiators causing cold spots. Now in 2023, with our thermostats or heating management app you can programme EACH RADIATOR in the room to the exact temperature accurate to 0.1 of a degree, have some warmer 21.5 degree, some cooler 18.5 degree, and some completely off or frost protection 7 degree in rooms you are not actively using. Our revolutionary motion sensors and windows detections will switch off when no one is in the room or doors / windows open, and back on again to selected program when occupied. They can also be controlled in commercial buildings (offices, factories, hospitals, hotels, care homes, etc) by our online Heating Management System which is managed by your property team, or maintenance manager, from anywhere in the country on any computer or smart phone, and across numerous sites, to a maximum of ONE THOUSAND RADIATORS.
Our heating management application accurately monitors and diagnoses customers’ installations based on live data. Intelli heat ’s technical engineers can view this data off-site and advise installers on-site how to deal with any issues, according to a isense’s status.
Installers can use the Smart heating app to view a technical energy consumption graph, enabling a visual assessment of a installation’s status. The unit also allows each sensor to be checked and monitored with ease. In addition, settings can be customised according to each user’s needs and property type, including adjusting radiator’s parameters, as well as downloading and updating to the latest firmware for each end user on an individual basis. Browse through one of the largest ranges of smart Electric Heating in the UK, all can be controlled using a smart device such as a mobile phone or tablet.
5-Maintenance Free
Yes completely, and totally maintenance free! To maintain a gas boiler and keep it running smoothly, you need to book regular check ups. In fact, your warranty could be invalid unless you get an annual maintenance check. For landlords, this is a legal requirement.
With Electric Heating No annual safety checks, no annual boiler servicing, certifications, no mid-winter breakdowns, call outs and repair bills. Every electric radiator has a ten year warranty, and just plugs into any standard plug socket. No pipes to freeze, no leaks, no damage to carpets or ceilings, no ripping up floors to fix pipes.
Also Safer that alternative heating solutions on the market, there’s none of the common safety risks such as explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning. This also means that our Electric Heating system can be installed anywhere throughout your home without any restriction on building work or design, European countries made this switch to efficient electric heating about ten years ago, so its time for the UK market to catch up!
Conclusion: If, your home is not connected to the mains gas supply, it runs on oil fuel, Lpg or inefficient storage heaters, now Is the best time to switch to a new efficient, controllable Electric Heating System.
Over the past 20 years we have created a a large range of electric heating to suit all types of lifestyles. When we install any of our Electric heating system, we take care of every stage of the process, design, supply and installation.
