Electric Heating: A Beginner’s Guide

Electric heating is a cleaner, more efficient alternative to gas central heating, which allows you to heat your living space with electricity. In contrast, modern electric heating systems have detailed control of your home’s temperature while lowering energy costs and reducing the need for more frequent maintenance than most gas boilers.

But why is this important? The right, well sectioned electric heating system can go a long way in helping you stay warm and cozy. In this article we explore the best electric heating options in the UK market so you can make your best-informed choice.

You could get a free electric storage heater replacement!

If your existing electric heater or radiator is old and inefficient, you may be eligible for a free upgrade to a modern electric storage heater. These systems are intended to enhance energy efficiency and reduce heating costs. Scroll down to find out if you qualify!

Why choose electric heating?

Electric central heating is a budget-friendly and green method to heat your home. Combined with free solar panels, it reduces energy costs and carbon emissions to make it a great long-term investment.

The main advantage of this type of heating is that it is much safer than many traditional heating systems if you don’t have harmful gas, open flames or toxic fumes. And without any moving parts, electric systems require little maintenance, resulting in fewer surprises in case of a vehicle breakdown. Even the best electric radiators will have more maintenance than electric central heating.

Storage heaters allow you to decide when and how heat is used, so you stay warm even if the system fails. With solar power, this flexibility is even further enhanced, whereas gas systems are dependent on a continuing supply of fuel.

What is the Best Electric Heating System for Your Home?

The ELNUR Electric Storage Heater is the best electric central heating system available on the market, and that is why here at Energy Wizards we sell it.

We remove old inefficient heaters replacing them with modern, energy-efficient ones funded through the government-backed ECO scheme. After careful consideration, we selected ELNUR as our preferred brand.

Why? Since upping your home’s energy efficiency helps everybody. Lower energy consumption with a lower-performing system means the home is more energy-efficient which speaks directly the goal of making homes more sustainable. Therefore, you can have absolute peace-of-mind when investing in your indoor comfort with ELNUR products.

We at Energy Wizards do not take shortcuts. We collaborate with trusted installation partners to ensure a smooth upgrade—because when your home is energy-efficient, everyone benefits.

We are here to assist you if you are eligible for a hot water heater upgrade that the government pays.

But there are other reasons:

  • ELNUR storage heaters, an effective & solid warranty backed storage solution. While older electric heating systems could be quite fragile and would require a good amount of maintenance, newer storage heaters are far more robust and much less prone to problems.
  • ELNUR heaters have excellent heat retention properties. Their sophisticated design means they stay cooler to the touch while storing the most heat. Which goes a long way to ensuring they keep things warm without raising the temperature of their casing too much, resulting in all their warmth and not very much danger as a traditional electric radiator might present.
  • ELNUR heaters are one of the best electric heating solutions since they are economical and operate at an energy-efficient rate. Their Economy 7 compatibility means they work whenever you have a 24 hour supply without ramping up bills. They can also charge overnight when electricity costs less, saving homeowners money in the long run.
  • Instead, the high heat retention technology allows it to store heat and release it only as needed, preventing wastage of heat. Digital thermostats ensure precise temperature control, avoiding overheating while keeping your home at a comfortable temperature. And while they may be small, they are much more energy-efficient than standard heaters, making them a perfect investment for anybody looking to cut back on energy waste and heating bills.

How do heaters for storage operate?

Storage heaters are an energy-efficient means of managing home heating by keeping heat for later use. This system allows homeowners to dictate when and how warmth is released — as a slow-burning low-level heat or just when it’s needed.

Sufficiently connected to different forms of heat are an array of electric heaters in the same grid, which does not require excessive increase in heating cost by directing heat to frequently used rooms. When it comes to larger spaces, selecting the proper storage heater can minimize the cost to you in terms of electricity and truly save money on utility bills.

Commonly referred to as electric night storage heaters, these heat appliances draw on when the power costs are generally lower (for example overnight). These then release stored heat on a pre-set schedule, meaning that they are cheaper to use than conventional central heating systems.

Most homes — especially with kitchens and bathrooms often used in the morning — need heating and hot water at various times but are simple to program a digital thermostat to have heat distributed as and when needed. This smart home setup lets users be energy efficient while ensuring certain high-use rooms are warm and welcoming.

If you have rooms that are used less frequently, no reason to waste money keeping them hot constantly. Outdated electric radiator? You could qualify for a FREE ELNUR Storage Heater Replacement See if you qualify now and start saving on your energy bills today!

Electric vs Gas Heating: Advantages and Disadvantages

Over the last few years, the use of gas heating has started to uselessly fade into the background, as even Australian homeowners are gravitating towards electric heating solutions instead. The UK government’s net-zero strategy seeks to decarbonize the economy by 2050, rendering gas heating progressively unsustainable and costlier in the long run.

Gas boilers can have steep maintenance costs and safety hazards as they deteriorate and need repair. Alternatively, electric heating systems like storage heaters or heat pumps are generally much more reliable and have less breakdowns than conventional heating systems because of their absence of moving parts.

As back boilers are a thing of the past and inefficient, many are now looking for back boiler removal or boiler upgrade grants. Electric heating is easier and cheaper to connect to the electricity grid than gas and electric heating is even cheaper when it’s on an Economy 7 or Economy 10 tariff.

You may be eligible for a free replacement of a storage heater powered by electricity, provided you meet specific criteria. Are you eligible today?
