is more energy efficient than ever before. For instance, Vent-Axia’s Bluethermal Underfloor Heating includes a heating thermostat controller that monitors both the floor and air temperature. This allows customers to gain maximum control over their environment by allowing them to set the thermostat at either the ideal floor or air temperature depending on the room.

therefore have warm dry towels without wasting energy, bringing greater comfort to the towel user but also adding to the overall temperature and comfort of the room.


Toasty toes Advances in technology also mean electric underfloor heating is set to grow in popularity. Manufacturers have been developing systems that meet the comfort needs of households and energy efficiency demands of legislation. Electric underfloor heating already has


many recognised advantages. On the aesthetic side it is invisible and gives households the freedom to place furniture where they like. Meanwhile using the large surface area of a home’s floor to heat a room allows the low temperature radiant heat to provide evenly distributed warmth giving much higher levels of comfort when compared to other more traditional methods. Using this method the thermal output is 2-


3°C lower than using a convection based system where the heat will collect close to the ceiling, thus saving 5-10% of the running cost while eliminating draughts or cold spots in the room. The flexibility of electric underfloor heating is an added financial bonus since it

Keeping warm around the house Meanwhile, electric radiators have many benefits. They cause little installation disruption for any household since they don’t require the pipework needed by traditional boiler heating systems. Meanwhile, for landlords electric heating means they do not


have to worry about costly annual boiler gas safety checks, which at approximately £75 per year can add up over the lifetime of a product, saving hundreds of pounds in reduced maintenance costs. The electric radiators’ flexibility is also an added financial bonus since heaters can be installed almost anywhere in a room as stand- alone units or as larger systems allowing households to meet their individual comfort and budget needs. New advanced electric heating systems also


incorporate highly sensitive, integral thermostatic controls. For instance, Vent-Axia’s range of energy efficient Opal Aluminium Radiators, featuring a digitally controlled thermostat, represent this new generation of electric heating technology – slim and stylish in design and offering controllable comfort. Featuring controllers that are fully programmable this type of electric heating system offers closer energy management, thus saving money for the homeowner. This type of electric radiator also


features on-board energy monitors. These monitors allow occupiers to see exactly how much energy is being used to heat a room, and thus make an informed decision on thermal comfort. Easy to operate, the radiators come with seven heating schedules and three


temperature settings for comfort, economy and frost protection, allowing homeowners to manage the warmth in their homes to meet their needs. So with electric heating now offering efficient heating for every room in the house, homes that are off the gas grid can rest assured that electric heating offers an
