At Trust Electric Heating, we understand the unique challenges that universities face when it comes to heating student accommodations. We have partnered with several universities to integrate our innovative NEOS electric radiator in a way that directly addresses their specific needs and pain points. Our extensive collaboration with universities, including a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with the University of Huddersfield, has allowed us to continuously improve and refine the NEOS electric radiator based on rigorous testing and feedback, ensuring it remains the most effective electric heating system on the market.
With the UK government’s 2050 net zero target looming, we are aware that many universities have set even more ambitious goals, such as achieving carbon neutrality by 2030, and transitioning to sustainable heating systems is a huge part of this journey. For universities with these early net zero targets or those who are looking to get ahead of the curve, contact our commercial team at 0800 599 9109 to see how we can help provide you with an efficient heating solution.
The NEOS electric radiator by Trust Electric Heating is the UK’s most awarded electric radiator, designed to meet the demanding needs of student accommodations. Engineered with advanced technology and built with durable, sustainable materials, the NEOS offers unparalleled efficiency, control, and comfort. Its modular design, soapstone core, and aluminium casing ensure optimal heat distribution and energy savings, making it the ideal choice for universities aiming to upgrade their heating systems. Whether you’re focused on sustainability, cost-effectiveness, or ease of use, the NEOS stands out as the ultimate solution for modern student accommodations.
When considering upgrades to student accommodation heating systems, efficiency is a big concern. Our NEOS electric radiator excels in this area, providing superior energy savings compared to traditional heating systems.
Energy Savings: The NEOS electric radiator can reduce heating bills by up to 59.4% thanks to its patented Quadvex convection technology and advanced heat distribution capabilities. This innovative system ensures minimal heat loss and maximises warmth within the room.
Even Heat Distribution: As a convection-based heater, the NEOS ensures even heat distribution throughout the property, eliminating cold spots and providing consistent warmth across all rooms.
Energy-Saving Features: The NEOS features a soapstone core that allows it to produce at least 20 minutes of heat without consuming energy. Paired with our GEO location technology, specifically designed for universities, the NEOS won’t heat unoccupied rooms, ensuring maximum energy efficiency. For detailed efficiency comparisons and energy savings, refer to our University of Leeds brochure.
Having previously worked with universities, we understand that the financial implications of installing and operating a new heating system are crucial for student accommodation providers.
Initial Costs: While the upfront cost of the NEOS may be higher than some traditional systems, the long-term savings are significant.
Running Costs and Savings: The annual running cost of the NEOS electric radiator is significantly lower. For instance, we found in our case study that during term time, the running cost is approximately £53,290 compared to £108,588 for oil radiators, leading to substantial savings over time.
Return on Investment: Over a 25-year period, the total cost of owning and operating NEOS radiators is significantly lower. The NEOS system saves over £3 million compared to traditional oil radiators, factoring in both running costs and the absence of replacement costs.
For more detail on the running costs and our case study, refer to our University of Leeds brochure.
We also know that sustainability is a critical factor for universities aiming to reduce their environmental impact, especially with the UK’s net zero target. That’s why we designed the NEOS with sustainability in mind, utilising recyclable materials and advanced technology to minimise energy consumption and carbon footprint.
Recyclable Materials: The NEOS electric radiators are constructed using recyclable aluminium, making them an environmentally friendly heating option for student accommodation.
Reduced Environmental Impact: The advanced design and efficient operation of the NEOS electric radiators reduce energy consumption, resulting in lower carbon emissions, and adhering to your sustainability goals.
Long Lifespan: With a 25-year guarantee, the NEOS electric radiators eliminate the need for frequent replacements, reducing waste and contributing to long-term sustainability.
No matter what industry we’re working with, we acknowledge that no two customers are the same, and ease of use and flexibility in controlling heating are vital, especially for student accommodation heating. Through working with universities, we quickly realised that one of their biggest concerns was energy wastage. So we developed a student-specific app to control this.
User-Friendly Control: Our student-specific app allows students to pair their smartphones to the NEOS radiator in their room. The app itself features simple control which allows the students to independently control their room temperature.
GEO Location Feature: The app uses GEO location to adjust heating based on whether the room is occupied, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort. This prevents energy wastage out of term times as unoccupied rooms aren’t being heated.
At Trust, we want to ensure that we’re providing our customers with efficient heating for a lifetime. Long-lasting heating systems reduce maintenance costs and downtime, ensuring uninterrupted comfort for students.
Longevity: The NEOS radiator boasts a 25-year British guarantee, significantly outlasting traditional radiators and central heating systems that require frequent replacements.
Minimal Maintenance: The modular design of NEOS radiators ensures easy repairs and upgrades, meaning that if you should have to repair the radiator for any reason, you’re only replacing the panel that is damaged, not the whole radiator itself.
Robust Construction: Made from durable materials, the NEOS electric radiators are designed to withstand the rigors of student living, maintaining their efficiency and appearance over time.
The NEOS is designed for an easy installation process, which means no touch-ups are needed after leaving your student accommodations as good as new.
Non-Disruptive Installation: NEOS radiators are designed for easy installation, often taking 30 minutes to install one unit. They are simply mounted to the wall and plugged in. This ensures minimal disruption to student life.
Quick Setup: The straightforward installation process means that properties can be upgraded swiftly, allowing students to enjoy the benefits of the new heating system almost immediately.
We understand that ensuring compliance with safety standards is essential for any heating system in student accommodations. Contact our commercial team on 0800 599 9109 to discuss any specific safety concerns and guidelines your organisation has.
Built-In Safety Features: The system includes features such as automatic shutoff and overheating protection, enhancing overall safety.
Ease of Operation: The user-friendly app and thermostat require no specific training, making it easy for both students and staff to operate the system safely.
Aside from safety and cost savings, we know that a positive student experience is critical for the reputation of student accommodations.
Positive Feedback: Students at the University of Leeds have praised the NEOS system for its convenience and efficiency. They appreciate the ability to control the heating from their phones, the elimination of cold spots, and the overall comfort provided. You can watch our video testimonial here to hear their feedback yourself.
Enhanced Comfort: The NEOS system addresses common complaints about uneven heating and noise, ensuring a quiet and comfortable living environment.
