Heating your home and your water are two of the most significant contributors to household energy costs. In the UK, heating water accounts for around 17% of a typical energy bill, while space heating takes up an even larger portion. With energy prices on the rise, these costs can quickly add up, putting a strain on household budgets.
Traditional gas boilers are not only less efficient, but also contribute significantly to carbon emissions. They require regular maintenance, which can be costly, and are subject to rising gas prices. This makes them an expensive option in the long run, both in terms of your energy bills and your environmental impact.
An ELKATHERM® electric heating system offers a highly efficient, cost-effective alternative to traditional ‘wet’ heating systems. These German-engineered clay core heaters are designed to maximise energy efficiency, boasting a European A++ energy efficiency rating and a whole host of energy-saving features including open window detection.
ELKATHERM® electric radiators contain a smart, ceramic, fireclay core which heats to its optimum working temperature in minutes and stays warm for hours with minimal additional power, meaning more warmth for your money and greater control than traditional storage heating. Once an ELKATHERM® radiator is up to temperature, it will typically draw between 15-17 minutes of electricity per hour to just top up the core – meaning lower energy consumption and, consequently, lower energy bills.
With an impressive 25-year guarantee, ELKATHERM® radiators are a long-term investment that can save you money both on energy costs and maintenance. Unlike gas boilers, which need regular servicing, ELKATHERM® electric radiators require minimal upkeep, further increasing your savings.
Sunamp Thermino heat batteries contain an advanced phase change material, which retains up to four times more heat than water. Once charged, the heat can be released instantly at high pressure, quietly delivering your hot water in a cleaner and smarter way whenever you need it. These heat batteries are ultra compact – up to four times smaller than the equivalent hot water cylinder – and they don’t require any mandatory annual maintenance. They also boast a 10-year guarantee on the thermal storage core, so you can rest assured your Sunamp will provide hot water for years to come.
Generating your own electricity with solar PV panels is one of the most effective ways to save on your energy bills. We’re proud to be MCS certified solar PV and home battery installers. Utilise the sun’s free, renewable energy to produce clean, renewable energy for your home. By producing your own electricity, you can drastically reduce your on-grid power, therefore drastically reducing your energy bills.
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, which can power your home’s appliances and heating systems, including your ELKATHERM® radiators and Sunamp Thermino heat battery. You could even heat your home and water for free! The more solar energy you produce and use, the less you need to buy from your energy supplier. This can mean significant reductions in your electricity bills, especially during the summer months when solar generation is at its peak.
Adding home battery storage to your solar system can maximise the benefits. Our advanced battery storage solutions allow you to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night. This means you can continue to use your own solar energy, even when the sun isn’t shining – further reducing your reliance on the grid and therefore your energy bills.
ELKATHERM® electric radiators feature smart thermostats, allowing you to manage your energy consumption more efficiently. Programming your heating system to only heat the rooms you’re using when you need it can help you to avoid energy wastage and reduce your energy bills.
Take advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs by charging up your Sunamp Thermino and home batteries during these times, and using the stored energy to power your home at peak times. With enough battery storage, you could ensure you never pay peak electricity rates again!
Solar PV and home battery installations are currently available at 0% VAT, effectively saving you 20% on your order. If you choose to install a Sunamp at the same time as your solar, this is also 0% VAT rated, saving you even more!
As the UK moves towards phasing out gas boilers and achieving net-zero emissions, investing in solar PV and electric heating not only saves you money, but also futureproofs your home against rising energy prices and changing regulations. By making these changes today, you’ll be contributing to a greener future and enjoying energy bill savings for years to come.
Homes with solar panels are more attractive to buyers and can often command higher prices on the market. Solar panels can also improve the EPC of your home, proving it’s energy-efficiency to potential buyers. This means that in addition to your energy bill savings, you could see an increase in your home’s value.
Reducing your energy bills is all about making smart, sustainable choices. By switching to ELKATHERM® electric radiators, installing solar panels, and adding home battery storage, you can take control of your energy bills and enjoy significant savings. These technologies not only help lower your bills but also reduce your carbon footprint, making them a win-win for both your wallet and the planet.
