Is Electric Heating the Future?
When you install a new cutting edge German electric heating system with Greener Energy Group you will be securing the latest in home heating technology and ensuring that your home is primed for the energy revolution.
For years, gas central heating has dominated the UK home heating industry. Gas is currently cheaper to use than electric and when many people think of electric heating, they picture old-fashioned inefficient storage heaters which are inefficient and unresponsive.
New technology has brought electric heating into the 21st century, however, while gas central heating systems have barely changed in decades.
With legislation limiting fossil fuel usage in the UK, gas central heating is under threat, and it is likely that fuel prices will continue to rise meaning the one consistent economic advantage of gas heating over electric could soon disappear.
Modern Electric heating systems are more sustainable than gas and oil, smarter, more customisable, interactive, and are compatible with a range of renewable energy solutions which are becoming more and more commonplace in UK homes.
This post will explain all these benefits and more, demonstrating exactly why electric heating is the future of home heating in the UK.
Electric heating is more sustainable
Electric heating is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly form of home heating than oil or gas systems.
Around 40% of mains electricity produced currently produces carbon emissions. Compared to the 100% of gas heating which produces emissions, electric heating is already far more sustainable than gas.
As the Government looks to invest more in more sustainable energy sources for electricity production this gap is only going to widen and if you want to help reduce your carbon footprint, electric heating Scotland is the way forward.
Greener Energy Group’s industry leading German Electric Heating can easily be combined with renewable energy sources such as solar panels and air-source heat pumps.
If you choose to have such a system installed in the future, or you already have one in place, you will be able to benefit from cheaper electric as well as emission free heat throughout your home.
Legislation
More and more restrictions are being placed on the burning of fossil fuels in the UK as the Government attempts to meet its pledges to reach net zero.
In 2020, Prime Minister Boris Johnson committed to ending taxpayer support for overseas fossil fuel projects.
The Committee on Climate Change has also put a major question over the future of gas heating, pledging that by 2025 no new homes will be connected to the gas grid, and financial incentives will be provided to developers who choose eco-conscious systems.
Given that around 19% of the UK’s fossil fuel emissions come from home heating systems it is likely that there will be a tariff rise on gas usage to try and encourage people to switch to more sustainable systems. This means that although your monthly heating bill may be slightly higher in the short-term by switching to electric this may well change in the near future.
Electric Lasts Longer
Electric heating systems last up to 50% longer than gas systems. Given that in a few years it may well be difficult to buy a new gas boiler and expensive to service and maintain it, with many energy companies beginning to specialise in renewables, is a slight reduction in your monthly fuel bill really worth the sacrifice?
By installing an electric heating system with Greener Energy Group, you will be securing yourself years of sustainable and consistent heating with very little ongoing maintenance costs.
