Why the future is electric

Electric

heating has

many benefits

Energy costs

The rising cost of energy is forcing

homeowners, suppliers and the

government to act to ﬁnd ways of

reducing our use of fuel. 36% of the UK’s

energy is used to heat the space and hot

water in our buildings, so it is no surprise

that there has been a concentrated effort

to reduce our exposure to the kind of

volatile fossil fuel prices which led to an

average price rise of nearly 10% in 2011,

driven primarily by the wholesale gas

prices on global markets.

Legislation

The UK is committed to reducing its

greenhouse gas emissions by at least

80% by 2050, relative to 1990 levels.

This means that we need to secure lower

carbon energy supplies today. As electricity

moves to low carbon sources of generation,

with signiﬁcant drops in emissions targets

expected by 2030, electricity will become

a universal and versatile source of low

carbon energy.

“Technologies that use electricity to

generate heat are well placed to become

major low carbon heating technologies in

the coming decades.”

DECC – Future of Heating, March 2011.

Electricity is the obvious choice for our

future heating needs because it has

many beneﬁts both at national level

and local level as it:

• Can be produced in the UK, allowing

continuity of supply at a steady price

• Is increasingly being produced from

renewable sources, neutralising its

carbon intensity

And electric heating:

• Is 100% efﬁcient

at the point of use –

every unit that you pay

for becomes heat

• Can be controlled with

a degree of accuracy not

achievable with other systems

• Can be quickly and easily installed

as there is no pipework to consider,

making it ideal for both refurbishment

and new build

• Can operate as standalone heaters

or as a complete system subject to

requirement and budget, but with the

added beneﬁt of being able to add to

the system at any time – making it

perfect for extensions

• Has low lifetime costs as it requires

very little maintenance and on average

an electric heating system will last

50% longer than a gas system

• Is not limited by planning issues

associated with ﬂue requirements

in new build

• Offers very low safety risk as it doesn’t

burn fossil fuel

The heating market in the UK is

changing faster than ever before.

Fuel prices, legislation and technological

developments are changing the way

that our properties are heated, and as

the world’s largest manufacturer of

electric heating products, Dimplex has

the capabilities and knowledge to remain

at the forefront of these developments.

The future is electric; we are electric.

People in the UK are changing how they heat their homes. With the rising costs of energy,

three things come into question:

• Which fuel do we use?

• How do we best use this fuel?

• How do we maximise our use of the heat produced?

The future of domestic space heating is electric, a fact which is fast becoming apparent

from government documentation outlining the future plans of the building and environmental

legislation that governs the direction in which domestic heating will develop.
