Cleaner airHave you ever noticed an all-electric house has no flue? That’s because it doesn’t produce any waste emissions as 100% of the electricity used to power the system is used to heat the home. That means cleaner air for you and your loved ones to breathe.

Cost effectiveLike a car engine, a fossil-fuel boiler will cost more to run as it loses efficiency over time. Plus if you’re heating with gas, this is the most expensive way to heat a property and will be costing you around 30% more than those on electric.

Frequently Asked Questions
Making the switch to electric heating is a fantastic investment for your property. Like any property upgrade, the installation will take time to complete and we want to help answer your questions before you make the decision to change.
Boilers work by running water past an element that's heated by electricity, gas or oil. This heated water then passes through the rest of your home's heating system through pipes to heat your home.
Unlike gas and oil, the 'fuel' to heat this water arrives at your home ready-to-use, meaning no energy is wasted and nothing needs to be burnt to produce heat.
This is why houses that heat with electricity emit no greenhouse gas emissions from the property.
The actual boiler itself is fairly simple to install and you can often keep the same pipes, radiators and controls as your current system.
Something about single phase and 3 phase here?
However connecting your boiler up to the underground electricity network will take some time and you may need a new supply cable installed to connect your property with the main cable supply in the road.

Electric boilers, radiators and underfloor heating
This tariff was designed exclusively for electric heating and runs at a low-rate 24 hours a day.
Electric heating appliances connected to Superheat must be wired on a separate circuit and connected to a separate distribution board.
Storage heaters
The refers to 12 hours out of 24 when you can run your heating using low-rate electricity. This is made up of 2 hours during the day and 10 hours at night. Storage heaters work by storing heat generated using low-rate electricity overnight and releasing that heat during the day.
Water heating and towel rails
These are usually on a Super Economy 12 tariff.
However they can also be moved to the Superheat Tariff if the primary heat source in the property is electric and also connected to the Superheat Tariff.
If you heat with gas or oil, you cannot have your water heating or towel rails connected to a Superheat tariff.
Air source heat pumps
This is available for separately metered supplies to permanently connected heat pumps and includes ancillary controls, pumps and flange elements directly associated with the heat pump installation.
“If you want an economic and more controllable way of heating your home, electricity is the way forward.
I thoroughly recommend it. It is simple to operate, and I feel happier that my individual home is not pumping out fumes into our lovely environment.”
