Major Benefits Of Electric Heating

The advantages of electric heating are numerous

, making it an ideal heating solution not only for individuals, but also for professionals. It may be useful to learn about these benefits in more detail.

To begin with, electric heating is very easy to install and installation costs are kept to a minimum. It does not require any pipe-work, simply a connection to the electrical circuit. So it can be installed in a matter of minutes. What is more, heaters can work as stand-alone units or as a system, so electric heating is easy and cheap to add heaters to a system at anytime as budgets permit. Still maintaining a heating system can add to the overall cost of running the system, so it is very important to consider the likely impact of maintenance costs and any safety checks requirements. Having no moving parts to break down or wear out, electric heating is extremely reliable and works well in all types of conditions. A gas boiler-based system on the other hand requires regular servicing.

Unlike boiler-based systems where energy may sometimes be wasted, electric heaters are very efficient at the point of use, meaning all the electricity used is converted directly into heat. Most electric heating systems can last for at least fifteen years, whereas the gas boiler industry itself quotes a lifetime of only ten years for a boiler. As electric heating is cheaper to install, maintain and it lasts longer than a gas system, the true ownership costs mean that an electric heating system can be a more cost effective solution in comparison with boiler-based systems.

Whatever type of heating one specifies, safety should always be an important issue. Electric heaters do not burn fuel internally to generate heat. Therefore, there is none of the associated safety risks, such as poisoning or explosions. As there are no radiators to leak or burst, there is less risk of damage to the building, which can be a major concern if properties are empty for a certain period, especially over the winter months. Electric heating has no moving parts to break down or wear out. Therefore, it is highly reliable and normally it runs satisfactorily for much longer than a regular gas boiler.

There have been significant developments in the electric heating productions in the last few years. Modern electric heaters involve highly sensitive, integral thermostatic controls. The accuracy of electronic controls allows rapid response to sudden changes in room temperature. It ensures that heater outputs are quickly reduced or increased to maintain constant temperature in a room.

To sum up, electric heating has several advantages. It can be precisely controlled to allow a uniformity of temperature within very narrow limits. It is cleaner than other methods of heating because it does not involve any burning. It is safe because it is protected from overloading by automatic breakers. It is quick to use and to adjust and it is relatively quiet. For these reasons, electric heat is widely chosen for industrial, commercial and residential use.
