The UK government is changing its energy performance assessment tool - SAP 11.

This will provide a more accurate and comprehensive framework for evaluating the efficiency of electric radiators - taking into account overall performance, energy consumption, and environmental impact.

Electric radiators equipped with smart controls will now receive greater recognition for their ability to optimise energy usage. Homeowners can have more control over their heating systems helping to minimise energy wastage.

Experts believe that SAP 11's focus on renewable energy integration means that electric radiators powered by renewable sources like solar are poised to play a pivotal role in helping achieve sustainability goals.

SAP 11 is expected to come fully into force in 2025 and drive innovation, sustainability, and consumer-centric solutions. As homeowners seek effective and cost efficient heating solutions, SAP 11 paves the way for a brighter, more sustainable future for electric radiators.
