Staying warm all year round doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Whether you’re looking to save on your energy bills or just use your heating more efficiently, there are plenty of ways to keep your home warm without breaking the bank.
The cheapest way to heat your home actually starts with keeping the heat that you already have. If your home is badly insulated, you’re essentially throwing money out the window (literally). Loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and draught-proofing doors and windows are essential for trapping warmth in your home. These one-time improvements can make a huge difference to how often your heating needs to come on.
Gas central heating is common in UK homes, and when running efficiently, it can be cost effective. Gas prices can fluctuate, and the environmental cost is higher compared to electric heating systems. Electric heating, on the other hand, is easier to control, offers more flexibility, and can be very cost effective. Please see our comparison guide for more information.
One of the most effective ways to heat your home cheaply and efficiently is by upgrading to ELKATHERM® electric radiators are impressively efficient. They boast a German A++ energy efficiency rating thanks to their ceramic fireclay core. This core heats to its optimum working temperature in minutes and stays warm for hours with minimal additional power, giving you more warmth for your money and greater control than other methods of heating.
ELKATHERM® electric radiators have a fluted design that convects heat effectively, so you aren’t left with any cold spots. There’s over 60 shapes and sizes, almost 200 different colour options and a range of controls – including our latest smartphone app. There’s a market-leading 25 year guarantee on the internal heat core too, so you can rest assured your radiators will last.
Each radiator features individual thermostatic control, meaning you only need to heat the rooms you’re using. Unlike traditional systems, they don’t rely on a central boiler and don’t need any unsightly pipework, making them easy to install and maintain. Best of all, when paired with renewables like solar PV, you could heat your home for free!
If you’re looking to make your heating system as economical and eco-friendly as possible, combining your ELKATHERM® electric radiators with a Qcells solar system is a smart investment. By generating your own electricity, you could run your heating system for free. Use any surplus electricity you generate in the day to charge Qcells home batteries, and use that stored energy in the evenings when the temperature drops. You could even utilise time of use tariffs to ensure you never need to pay peak rates for electricity again.
Our ELKATHERM® electric radiators and Sunamp water heaters integrate perfectly with our Qcells solar systems, helping to reduce your reliance on the grid and save money on your energy bills. A full HeatElectric system is a powerful way to futureproof your home and protect against volatile energy prices.
1. Set your thermostat to the lowest temperature comfortable to you – for most people this is between 18°C and 21°C. Turning the thermostat down by just one degree could save you up to £90 a year on your energy bills, according to the Energy Saving Trust!
2. Invest in thick curtains and close them when your heating is on to stop heat escaping. Curtains act as an extra layer of insulation, helping to keep heat in your home.
3. Layer up! Sometimes putting a jumper on and having a nice cup of tea when you’re feeling chilly is the cheapest solution of all.
