Electricity heating

Electricity energy efficiency is as important to us as it is to you. Because all the electricity you use is converted into heat, electric heating is extremely efficient. Plus there are no annual maintenance costs.

Electric storage heaters give you a flexibility that central heating can't. They can be placed almost anywhere and are easily installed with a simple wall bracket. There is no pipe work to worry about and none of the capacity limitations of a boiler. They look good too, with a range of styles to choose from. You can even create the cosy feeling of a real fire without the mess.

Radiative heaters or "space heaters"

Radiative heaters contain a heating element that reaches a high temperature. The element is usually packaged with a reflector inside a glass envelope resembling a light bulb. The element emits infrared radiation that travels through air or space until it hits an absorbing surface, where it is partially converted to heat and partially reflected.

Convection heaters

In a convection heater, the heating element heats the air next to it by conduction. Hot air is less dense than cool air, so it rises due to buoyancy, allowing more cool air to flow in to take its place. This sets up a constant current of hot air that leaves the appliance through vent holes and heats up the surrounding space.
