Electric heating is 100% energy efficient in the sense that all the incoming electric energy is converted to heat. However, most electricity is produced from coal, gas, or oil generators that convert only about 30% of the fuel's energy into electricity. Because of electricity generation and transmission losses, electric heat is often more expensive than heat produced in homes or businesses that use combustion appliances, such as natural gas, propane, and oil furnaces.
Electric heat can be supplied by centralized forced-air electric furnaces or by heaters in each room. Room heaters can consist of electric baseboard heaters, electric wall heaters, electric radiant heat, or electric space heaters. It is also possible to use electric thermal storage systems to avoid heating during times of peak power demand.
Our electrical heaters and oil filled radiators provide a much-needed extra boost to your home's warmth, allowing you to stay toasty even when it's freezing outside. Like our range of fans and air conditioning units and our dehumidifiers, our selection of storage heaters are specially chosen for their great quality and value for money.
Another great option for heating a room in your home is a unit from our range of halogen heaters. Efficient, safe and easy to run, these heaters are great anywhere in the home.
