Today’s modern electric heaters include many smart features that not only help to reduce your bills at this challenging time, but also make your life easier. Each of these features can save 2-3% in energy savings.
Smart heating controls
Smart controls allow you to manage your electric heating remotely from a computer, tablet or phone using Wifi or Bluetooth technology. This technology allows you to switch individual radiators on or off, or adjust the temperature, from any location in or out of the house using compatible mobile devices. And if you’re not using a particular room, you can set the temperature to the minimum level. This keeps you in complete control of your heating.
Pre-warming
After a long journey or a long day, you want to come home to a warm house. If you can control your home’s heating using an app, you can easily set your heating to come on at a specific time and temperature. Smart heating controls mean you can get your home warmed up before you get home.
So no more arriving home to a cold house and wearing coats while it heats up.
Automation
Smart heating controls include advanced options like automation. Some electric radiators can learn your heating habits and help optimise your home’s heating for you. They can automatically calculate how much heat your home stores overnight based on room temperature, previous usage and changes in daily weather patterns. Smart controls learn by tracking the inputs you make using the device to adjust temperatures and timings, like how warm or cool you like certain rooms to be, what time you leave home and what time you return.
Energy monitoring
Some modern electric radiators and smart controllers include an energy monitor so you can understand and keep track of your energy usage in real-time, identifying areas where you could make a saving. Sometimes, they can even work out the cost based on what you are charged for electricity on your current tariff.
And for every degree of temperature you reduce your heating by, you’ll save up to 8% in energy cost.
Alerts
Some smart controllers can send alerts to your computer or mobile when temperatures reach a certain level (either too cold or too hot). This is handy for ensuring you don’t spend too much money heating a home or your entire home more than you need to.
Open window detection
Some modern electric heaters can detect if there is a window open in the room and adjust the temperature output accordingly, preventing precious heat from escaping and costing you more money. When any window is opened in winter while a nearby electric radiator is on, the sudden drop in temperature is detected by the individual programmer in each radiator and will automatically switch off the radiators to avoid wasting energy. Helping you to save more money on your electricity bill.
Occupancy detection
A sensor detector on the front of some modern radiators can detect the movement of people in the room and the lack of movement when no one is home. When there is an absence of movement, the temperature will slowly decrease – saving energy and reducing your heating bills while no one is home. Optimising occupancy detection can help reduce energy costs and carbon footprint.
The future’s electric
Electric radiators once had a reputation for being inefficient. However, modern electric radiators are now efficient enough to be considered a viable, cost-effective alternative to most other central heating options, including gas and oil.
When combined with solar power and offshore and onshore wind, electric heating is considered the energy of the future. Electric heating technology evolves quickly, and there will be many more advances to come in the future.
