Eco-Friendly & Green Energy Radiator Options

Energy efficiency is an increasingly important part of how we design our homes, particularly with regards to heating.

One of the main ways seek to make their heating systems eco-friendly is by installing electric radiators. If you don't have a conventional hot water central heating system then fitting electric radiators should be of particular interest.

No need for natural gas

One of the major benefits of having electric radiators is that you don't need to rely on gas to heat your home.

If you've been following the news even slightly over the last few years, you'll probably be aware that natural gas is not an infinite resource. Hence the headlines regarding Russian pipelines and controversial fracking.

Using low energy electric radiators instead of rads connected to a gas-powered boiler is a great way to reduce your environmental impact and turn your heating situation a bit more green and eco-friendly.

No need for wood or fossil fuels

There has been an upturn in people installing wood burning stoves in their homes in order to provide heat. In fact, the UK Government estimated that about 2.5 million homes in the UK have wood burning stoves or open fires.

There's no doubt that such heating devices provide a homely, comforting and traditional environment. However they are thought account for a high proportion of damaging particulate matter into the air.

Additionally, coal is a finite resource and also contributes to lowering air quality, so it's use in open fires is also being actively discouraged.

At Trade Radiators, we offer a fantastic range of electric radiators to suit all tastes. Being energy-efficient, you'll know that choosing one of our electric rads will help your home to heat itself in a more environmentally friendly way.
