Over the past year there has been a huge limelight on the UK's aim of a greener and cleaner energy sector. Along with our ever increasing dependence on foreign imports and gas prices continuing to fluctuate it is right that we are looking at 'home grown' renewable energy choices such as wind and solar but what on earth does this mean for the home or business owner? Is it rather costly to switch to a electric heating system? Will I save money or reduce consumption on my energy bills? There are lots to evaluate but for those who've substituted to an electric heating system at home or at work will be exceedingly merry they had. Installation costs The largest concern consumers perceive is the expenditure of converting to an electric heating system. Many read the great benefits and money saving capability, but become weary of the perceived cost and hassle it takes to change over. The apex in popularity in the UK is around electric radiators. Although previously electric radiators have had an element of stigma attached to them  for being uneconomic which we wil come on to. But the huge benefit to them is the ease of installation. Gone away is the need for a costly electrician or builder with stacks of tools. Looking at one of the crown models is the iSkinny measuring at just 60mm making it the slimmest on the market. To install takes no time at all as you will see, you simply slip them out of their box, use the template provided to position on your wall, mark where needs drilling, fix the brackets and then hook the radiator on and plug in to a wall socket. It should only take around 10 minutes and does away with costly electricians and plumbers. Efficiency  The larger misunderstood part to electric heating. Electric radiators look stylish and wonderful, but they are also incredibly energy efficient. Winding back to the 70's 80's and 90's electric radiators and also storage heaters were for the most part disregarded as an uneconomical way to heat your home. These models had virtually no controllability which converted into cold spots and irregular heat distribution. Most of these dated units would simply have a convector fan fitted blowing hot air around a room, which is not something you would want to rely on to heat your home full time. However electric radiators have now burst onto the scene with a pioneering economical solution to a vastly cost effective way to heat your home. With new technologies reaching such an apex that electric radiators have evolved into a new generation putting electric heating firmly on the map. Advanced thermostats along with dry thermal technology pack the radiator with an extensive level of efficiency. The iSkinny from myelectricradiators.com disperses heat into the room in every direction without mobilising air or executing unflattering noise. The thermostat works in partnership to silently turn the radiator on or off to maintain the desired temperature. This happens to within a fraction of a degree, so for example you set the thermostat to 22 degrees, and the temperature rises to 22.5, the radiator will automatically go into power saver mode. When the temperature eventually drops down to 21.5 it will get to work again. So this means that for every hour of heat dispelled into your home, the radiator is perhaps in consuming mode for around 20 minutes. Combined with adequate insulation and the right sized radiator for the room and you have a powerful cost effective heating system. But how can you control it? Controllability  So we've already mastered the benefits of thermostats and elements so envisage the benefits of precise controllability on top of that. Most electric radiators worth their salt come with an advanced LCD control panel so that you can program schedules and taylor them around your needs. The iSkinny is so customisable that you could actually set a different temperature for a every hour seven days a week (If thats what you want). In addition to that you can select which rooms your would like to be operational on via your own schedule. For example you would like your bedroom a few degrees warmer than your lounge? This isn't a problem. You would like heat upstairs but not in the spare bedroom which is hardly used. Simple. All these benefits add up to save you pennies which in turn make pounds.
