Are Electric Radiators More Efficient?
Firstly, what does it mean to have 100% efficiency, like radTherm? This means that no electricity is lost during the heating process, ensuring that every resource is used effectively.
Gas heating, on the other hand, which uses fossil fuels to generate heat, loses approximately 22% of its heat, with a typical Annual Fuel Utilisation Efficiency (AFUE) rating of 78%. Even the very best heaters which claim to have high efficiency are only rated to around 90%, so they still lose energy in the process.
This is why choosing energy efficient electric radiators such as radTherm radiators is much better for the environment, reducing dependency on fossil fuels, as well as lowering your energy bills.
Just How Energy Efficient Are Electric Radiators?
So that’s all great news for the planet – but how does this translate into energy savings in the home? With electric radiator installations, you can expect savings pretty much straight away due to them being 100% efficient and their ability to deliver heat on demand.
Heat on demand means you can heat up a room anytime you need it. Furthermore, energy efficient electric radiators offer prompt warmth, just minutes after being switched on.
