What types of electrical heating can be installed?
Common types of electric heating are electric radiators, panel heaters, storage heaters and electric underfloor heating. We discuss your requirements at the start of each service and help you choose a suitable heating solution for your property.
| Type | Best suited to | Things to know |
|---|---|---|
| Electric radiators | Single rooms or whole homes | Wall-mounted, with thermostat and timer control room by room |
| Panel heaters | Small rooms and extra heat | Quick to warm a room, often used alongside another heat source |
| Storage heaters | Homes on an off-peak tariff | Charge overnight and release heat through the day |
| Electric underfloor heating | New builds and renovations | Needs access to the floor, so it suits major building work |
Is electric heating a good choice for homes without gas?
Yes. Electric radiators are a practical option for properties without access to a gas central heating system, and they suit individual rooms that need precise temperature control. We install and connect electric radiators as part of new heating systems and upgrades to existing installations.
What does electric heating installation involve?
Installing electric heating follows these steps:
- Discuss your requirements. We talk through the rooms, the property and how you want to control the heating.
- Choose the heating. We help you pick a suitable option for the property.
- Check the supply. The existing circuits are checked to confirm they can safely carry the heaters' load.
- Fit and connect. The heating is correctly connected and safely installed.
- Test. The installation is tested before you use it.
Can electric heating be repaired?
Yes. If your electric heating system is not working correctly, we can investigate the electrical fault and carry out the necessary repairs. We identify the cause of the problem and provide suitable solutions where possible.
What affects the cost of electrical heating in Hugglescote?
The cost of electrical heating in Hugglescote depends on the type and number of heaters, the rooms involved, whether a new circuit or wiring changes are needed, and the controls you choose. We arrange a quotation after we have discussed your property and requirements.
Do I need to notify Building Control for electric heating?
Possibly. Adding a new circuit for a heater is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations in England, so the work must be carried out by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or be notified to Building Control. Our guide to electric heating options for homes covers this in more detail.
Frequently asked questions
Is electric heating expensive to run?
Electricity usually costs more per unit than gas, so running costs depend on how well insulated the home is, how many rooms you heat and the tariff you are on. Heating only the rooms you use, with room-by-room controls, helps keep costs down.
How long does it take to install electric heating?
Fitting a single electric radiator on an existing suitable circuit can often be done in a few hours, while heating a whole property takes longer. Ask for a timescale when you request your quotation.
Does electric heating need a new circuit?
Often it does, depending on the heater's power and the capacity of the circuits you already have. Existing circuits need to be checked to confirm they can safely carry the load before a heater is connected.
Can you repair electric heating that has stopped working?
Yes. If your electric heating system is not working correctly, we can investigate the electrical fault and carry out the necessary repairs. We identify the cause of the problem and provide suitable solutions where possible.
Do you install electric heating in new builds and renovations?
Yes. Electrical heating can be included in new builds, extensions and renovations. We install the electrical connections and heating equipment as part of wider electrical work and work alongside other trades.
