Green Electricity

Over 40% of man-made carbon emissions in the UK come from the energy we use everyday - in our homes and when we travel. So it makes sense to look for electric heating solutions which can play a part in the fight against climate change and save money on our energy bills too.

The level of heating in your home environment must not only deliver the right amount of warmth for your comfort, but also be efficiently delivered with regard to running costs and environmental impact.

When people think of electric heaters, they tend to think of the old-fashioned overnight storage systems which were awkward to use and not very cost-efficient, but there have been such tremendous advances in electric heating design in recent years that the old rumour that it is expensive is simply no longer true.

Unlike an old-fashioned, traditional wet radiator system, a major advantage of electric heating is its high level of controllability which when combined with fast heat up times ensures there is little energy wasted. This is particularly true of the innovative and state-of-the-art heaters in the Ducasa range which offer fingertip touch controls for fast temperature selection.

In most areas, the low-cost off-peak electricity tariffs compare favourably with the cost of natural gas, oil and LPG. However, where electric heaters beat other types of heating systems is with their low installation and almost zero maintenance costs.

Gas heating boilers are expensive to install, need regular maintenance and annual servicing by qualified engineers, and have a relatively limited life, sometimes as low as five years. Spare parts can also be expensive. Our Ducasa electric heaters, on the other hand, are inexpensive to install, cost next-to-nothing in maintenance and servicing costs, and have a long life-expectancy.

Ducasa electric heaters are 100% efficient converting all energy into heat rather than wasting energy through flue systems from traditional gas or oil boilers that adds to global warming.

A growing number of windfarms and alternative zero carbon generation schemes means more and more electricity is being produced with very little damage to the environment at all. With government plans to increase the number of schemes in the future.

Electric heating is the green energy choice for the future with less long-term environmental impact than other fuels.
