If you’re a homeowner in Scotland, you’re likely aware of the nation’s ambitious goal to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2045. Perhaps you live in an all-electric area, have a new build that needs to comply with the recent gas boiler ban, or simply want to get ahead of the curve by choosing a more eco-conscious heating solution. Whatever your situation, finding the right heating system is crucial for both your comfort and your commitment to sustainability.
Electric heating systems, including electric central heating, offer a reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly way to keep your home warm and cosy. As an alternative to gas-powered systems, electric central heating provides benefits such as cost-efficiency, safety, ease of installation, and high efficiency, while also playing a significant role in reducing carbon emissions for a healthier environment. From traditional storage heaters to cutting-edge electric radiators and modern storage heaters, there are numerous options to suit your needs and help you manage your energy bills effectively. Let’s explore why electric heating is the ideal choice for Scottish homeowners committed to a greener future.
When it comes to choosing an electric heating system, you want a solution that stands out in terms of quality, efficiency, reliability, and a company you TRUST to help upgrade your existing system. Electric radiators offer benefits such as even heat distribution, programmable heating schedules, and thermostatic controls, and we collaborate with top brands to ensure quality and superior performance. Here’s why you should trust us and our NEOS electric radiator:
At Trust Electric Heating we are proud to be the UK’s most awarded electric heating company. Our commitment to quality and excellence is recognised across the UK (literally from Lands End to John o’ Groat’s, we’ve got you covered), making us a trusted name in the electric heating industry. Just look at our customer reviews - our customers consistently praise us and the NEOS for its performance, reliability, and efficiency.
Enough about us and our awards, let’s talk about the heating system. Through our Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with the University of Huddersfield, we’ve collaborated with top experts to rigorously test and integrate the latest advancements into the NEOS electric radiator. This extensive testing ensures that the NEOS is not only the most advanced but also the most effective electric radiator on the market, outshining its competitors.
So what makes the NEOS so advanced? The NEOS electric radiator is a state-of-the-art electric central heating system that emphasises cost-efficiency, safety, ease of installation, and 100% efficiency in converting electricity to heat. The NEOS electric radiator incorporates advanced Quadvex convection technology, ensuring optimal heat distribution throughout your home. Unlike older systems, the NEOS provides quicker heat, reducing the time and energy needed to reach your desired temperature.
What’s Quadvex technology? Quadvex convection technology is a breakthrough in heating design, if we do say so ourselves. Traditional convection heaters typically have only 1-2 points of convection, whereas the NEOS boasts four unique points of convection, a system we call Quadvex Convection:
The patented dimpled back panel forces air to rise in a snake-like movement, making the air travel a longer distance in contact with the heat core. This results in warmer air and eliminates heat loss to the back wall ( for context normal radiators usually lose 40% of their heat to the back wall). So with the NEOS all heat is directed into the room, thanks to this innovative back wall technology, which offers 40% better heat transfer rates.
Point 2 &3: Dual Convection
By adding a front panel to the flutes, the NEOS doubles the amount of convection. This design features doubles the amount of flutes, ensuring a quicker warm-up rate and significantly improving heat transfer efficiency.
Point 4: Cool-Wall Technology
Small holes at the tip of each dimple create individual venturis that draw latent cold air from the rear wall into the radiator. This process maximises the use of convection, increasing warm air output and ensuring the warmth stays in the room rather than being lost to the back wall.
One of the biggest advantages of the NEOS electric radiator is its impressive energy efficiency. Designed to use less electricity while providing maximum warmth, the NEOS works smarter, not harder to help you lower your energy bills without compromising comfort. Connecting hot water tanks to any heat source, including an electric boiler, can save money and heat water faster. If you’re interested in the cost savings, take a look at our running cost guide where we compare the NEOS to different electric heating systems. All results published in the guide come from testing with the University of Huddersfield.
As part of Scotland’s drive towards net zero by 2045, it’s essential to choose a heating system that aligns with these environmental goals. The NEOS electric radiator is designed with sustainability in mind, offering a greener alternative to traditional gas and older electric heating systems. By operating on electricity that can be sourced from renewables, the NEOS reduces your carbon footprint. Its advanced Quadvex convection technology ensures maximum heat retention and energy efficiency, meaning less electricity is used to maintain a comfortable temperature. Additionally, the NEOS features a modular design, so you’ll never have to replace the entire unit again, reducing waste and resource consumption. This long-lasting, eco-friendly approach contributes to a healthier planet for future generations.
While we may be based in Yorkshire, our Trust team is based all over the UK so installation can be included if needed. Or if you fancy a (easy) challenge, our NEOS electric radiators are designed for self installation, making the transition to a new electric heating system smooth and hassle-free. Customers have expressed satisfaction with reduced energy bills and improved control over the heating system after the installation of the new electric heating system. And what’s better; unlike the need for regular servicing of your gas boilers, NEOS electric radiators need minimal maintenance, saving you time and money in the long run.
Another reason to put your trust in us? The NEOS comes with a 25 year guarantee. Why? Because all our radiators are built from high-quality materials, manufactured in Britain, and designed for sustainability and longevity. With their modular design, you’ll never need to replace the entire unit. This means you won’t have to buy another radiator for the next 25 years, ensuring peace of mind and dependable performance.
Electric heating covers a wide range of systems designed to generate heat using electricity. Unlike old night storage heaters, which rely on cheaper night tariffs to store and release heat, leading to higher daytime and evening electricity costs, modern electric heating systems offer improved electricity usage, efficiency, controllability, and appearance. One of the big advantages is the ability to use off-peak electricity rates depending on the system you choose, but there are other ways to significantly lower your heating costs. With a modern electric heating system, like the NEOS, you get the benefits of stored heat without the inefficiencies of old storage heating systems.
Switching to an electric heating system can lead to significant savings on energy bills. Modern electric heaters are designed to be efficient, using less electricity to generate the same amount of heat. Plus, using renewables like battery storage, solar, electric heating and hot water can further cut costs. For Scottish homeowners, managing heating costs while keeping a warm, comfortable home is a huge plus.
As more people look to reduce their carbon footprint and lower energy costs, the demand for efficient and sustainable heating systems will keep growing. Many homeowners are replacing old storage heaters, which are known for their high running costs, inefficiency, and lack of control, with modern electric heating systems. The NEOS electric radiator, with its cutting-edge technology and design, represents the future of electric heating in Scotland. Offering unmatched efficiency, reliability, and ease of use, NEOS is the perfect solution for modern homes looking to transition to a more sustainable heating system.
So, whether you’re upgrading an old, inefficient storage heater or installing a new heating system, electric heating systems provide a versatile and cost-effective solution for Scottish homeowners. Embrace the benefits of modern electric heating and enjoy a warm, comfortable home while saving money and reducing your carbon footprint.
