Electric heating systems are clean and respectful of the environment. They have no damaging carbon emissions and can be used with cheaper time-of-use electricity tariffs that are available to people with a smart meter.
Electric radiators use an intelligent control system that works on a room-by-room basis to heat only the areas that are being used.

Improved Energy Efficiency
Unlike gas central heating systems that use water, which can cause heat loss as it circulates, electric heaters are designed to be more efficient with each radiator being able to independently control its own temperature. This can save up to 25% of energy consumption when compared with a gas system.
Using electricity rather than gas means there are no carbon emissions, which is great for the environment and your health. The byproducts of combustible fuels like gas can enter the air and cause breathing problems, however, with electrical heating, this is completely eliminated as it uses radiant heat transfer to warm the air.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Unlike gas systems, electric heating does not produce any harmful by-products or pollutants that could enter the air. This makes it a greener option for people with asthma and other respiratory conditions.
Storage heaters take electricity in during the night and heat up their bricks, releasing this energy throughout the day to warm your home. This means they require less maintenance than traditional boilers, reducing the amount of money that goes towards annual plumbing and gas safety checks.
Easy To Control
Electric heating is far less complex than a gas boiler central system and uses significantly less piping. It also has fewer parts and therefore less to go wrong – which is great news not just for live-in homeowners but landlords too.
The electricity used to power an electric central heating system converts almost 100% into heat, making it a very efficient and environmentally responsible form of energy. However, when considering the overall energy efficiency of a heating system it is important to consider all the energy required to produce that electricity.
Easy To Install
Unlike gas central heating that requires pipes, ducting and flue systems electric heating is a far simpler option. A simple connection to the electricity circuit is all that’s needed, making it ideal for new build homes where a full central system would have been a large job.
Using storage heaters means each radiator can be controlled individually, giving you the ability to heat rooms that are used on a room-by-room basis. This can save you money on your energy bills as it won’t be wasting heat in empty rooms.
