I think we can all agree that heating is the last thing on a uni student’s mind, not when there are parties to be had, lecture notes to copy and a brand-new world to explore without parental supervision. This can sometimes leave landlords on the back foot, because without the eagle eye of someone monitoring the thermostat, energy usage can quickly spiral out of control. But what if we told you there was an easy way for landlords to manage a property’s heating system, even from a distance? The answer is in electric radiators. So, if you want to know more about how they can save you money, read on…

If you’ve made the switch to electric heating and are wondering how to get the most out of your radiators, then you’ve come to the right place. With a variety of energy saving features now standard with all of our electric radiators, it’s important that you know exactly what each function can do and how it can make heating your home easier than ever before, so that you get the best value for your money.

When building a new home, everything has to be just right and the same has to be said for getting the best heating system. Recent legislation now states that any new home built after 2025 will no longer be allowed to install gas central heating, which means that heating for new builds will have to be reconsidered. This is one of the many reasons why there has been an increase in interest for other heating alternatives. So, what is the best system for new builds now?  

It’s no secret that home heating will be seeing upgrades in the near future and if you’re wondering what that means for you, we have the answers. For home heating the future is simple; it’s all about efficiency. Gas central heating has already seen its day as the undisputed champion, but it’s time to look at greener alternatives. There are a number of ways to heat your home whilst saving on energy and keeping costs low. In fact, many people have already followed this trend towards a more economic lifestyle and have reaped the rewards. So, what does the future have to hold for home heating? It’s time to find out.

Making the switch from gas to electric heating can be a daunting prospect, especially as we are a nation that has depended on gas central heating for so long, but the fact of the matter is gas is no longer sustainable. A good alternative is electric, not only with our cars but with our heating too, as it’s the more environmentally conscious choice. There are a number of things to consider before switching, which is why we’re here to help guide you through the energy-saving world of electric heating.

As of 2020 around 85% of homes in the UK use gas central heating, which leaves 15% of properties seeking alternative ways of heating, and with recent moves towards a more efficient society, this number can only increase. Currently, most homes without mains gas tend to be in rural places that are disconnected from the grid, but there are more and more modern apartments and eco-friendly properties being built without gas heating systems. So, what are your options if you decide to go against the grain and heat without gas? Well, there are several avenues to consider, with electric heating often coming out on top and for good reason too. 

With cold and longer nights now back in our lives, there’s no doubt you’ll be thinking about the best ways to ensure the house is kept warm, especially on a morning. After all, who wants to wake up to freezing temperatures? Leaving your radiators on overnight is a sure-fire way to guarantee that a toasty temperature remains in your home ready for you in the morning. If you’re wondering if it’s safe to do this, then we’re here to deliver the answer by explaining when you should and shouldn’t leave your electric radiators to run all night.

Finding the right heating solution can be a difficult and time-consuming task, especially if you’re a property developer.

Plus, with so many options available and so many factors to consider it can be hard to know where to start. Well, we’re here to ease some of that burden by showing you why electric radiators are the answer.
