 Creda's a leading manufacture in under floor heating solutions and has shown in a recent study electric central heating is on average 17% cheaper to run than gas central heating.
Soaring gas price increases over the last 12 months have significantly widened the gap between gas and electric over the heating system's lifetime. Electricity charges remain slightly higher than gas, but manufacturers of gas boilers insist on annual servicing as part of their guarantee conditions, which is not a requirement of ‘zero maintenance' electric heating. Once this true cost is accounted for, electric heating can be more than 17% cheaper than gas central heating for the average household. Electric heating is available at a much lower capital outlay, has flexibility of design and a faster and, therefore, cheaper installation cost, with no requirement for annual maintenance. Overall installation costs for an electric system are as much as half that of gas heating installation.   Electric Under floor Central Heating provides you with total control to programme your room stats to heat rooms only when you use them. i.e. You can programme your living room to be at 20c from 6pm till 8pm, then raise it to 22c from 8pm till 10pm as you relax in to the evening, then warm the bedroom up for 10pm ready for a cosy nights sleep.
