Electric Heating Systems for Flats

As well as the environmental disadvantages, a new connection to mains gas can be costly, and installing a boiler, traditional ‘wet’ radiators and pipework can be incredibly disruptive and messy. There may be constraints, especially if you live in managed apartments or a converted property. By comparison, electric radiators can be fitted almost anywhere with minimal disruption.

Gas boilers require annual servicing and expensive maintenance, whereas electric heating systems are often maintenance free. Gas central heating also comes with the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. As a result, it’s vital to install carbon monoxide monitors, which must be regularly checked.

Electric radiators run independently of each other, so if you choose to turn one off, the rest of the property will still be cosy and warm. They’re also silent, quick to heat up and easily programmable.

Electric Hot Water Systems for Flats

Sunamp heat batteries offer the perfect electric water heating solution for flats and apartments. They’re the ideal choice for those who are conscious about lowering carbon emissions, eliminating gas and controlling energy bills.

Sunamp thermal stores contain a phase change material (PCM). PCMs absorb, store and release large amounts of heat energy when changing state between solid and liquid. Melting and freezing the PCM in a Thermino stores up to four times more energy than heating and cooling water, which means Thermino heat batteries are up to four times smaller than the equivalent hot water cylinder. The phase change material does not contain any toxic or hazardous materials, and there is no end-of-life disposal issues.

Thermino heat batteries can work with almost any energy source, and require no mandatory annual maintenance. They instantaneously heat hot water for hygiene and freshness at mains pressure.

The smallest model measures just 575mm deep, 365mm wide and 440mm high, making it ideal for smaller properties.

Sunamp is the only heat battery manufacturer in the world to be awarded A Grade RAL Certification, the independent quality mark and the only global standard for Phase Change Material (PCM) and PCM products. This award confirms performance with no noticeable degradation to 10,000 cycles – the equivalent of over 13 years of daily use at two cycles per day. Sunamp’s own testing has so far confirmed failsafe performance to over 40,000 cycles, which is compatible to over 50 years of continuous use.

Best Electric Heating System for a Flat

ELKATHERM Flat Wall Heaters

ELKATHERM® lead the way in quality German engineering. You may see other ceramic core heaters on the market that look similar, but it’s what’s inside that counts. ELKATHERM® use a super dense ceramic fireclay material into which the element is directly embedded. This means that no air gaps or moisture can penetrate to cause corrosion. The embedding of the element also gives direct heat transfer for rapid heating of your home.

The ELKATHERM® advanced technology uses a massive five times surface area, to provide superior radiated heat and convected warmth around the room, ensuring you aren’t left with cold spots. There’s no need for a noisy fan, so you won’t get uncomfortable dry air associated with other forms of electric heating, just a comfortable, peaceful environment. The power modulation technology within each radiator ensures that once it’s up to temperature, it will typically only draw between 15-17 minutes of electricity per hour to maintain temperature, giving you more warmth for your money.

You can control our ELKATHERM® wall mounted electric radiators remotely using our latest smartphone app, or set and forget with our built in digital controls. To keep it really simple, we can also offer a manual option.

ELKATHERM® radiators come with a massive 25-year guarantee for the internal heat core, and 4-year guarantee for electronic components.

The smallest model measures just 390mm high, 685mm long and only 80mm deep, making it ideal for flats and apartments.

Electric Heating for Flats with Heat Electric

In a typical UK household, over half of the fuel bills are spent on heating and hot water. With traditional gas and oil heating methods being slowly but surely phased out, it’s clear that the future of home heating is electric. With ‘wet’ heating systems known for their unsightly pipes, expensive servicing and limited lifespan, they’ve more than outstayed their welcome. Not to mention how they tie us in to the big energy providers!

If we are to reach the UK Government’s net zero emissions target, we need to reduce the carbon emissions from heating our homes by 95%. Having an efficient electric heating system running on a low carbon fuel is one of the most important steps you can take to reduce your fuel bills and your carbon emissions.
