Summary: Electric central heating system guide, advantages of electric central heating and disadvantages of electric central heating.
An electrical central heating system is a heating system provided throughout a home or building that is powered using electricity only. Electric central heating is an alternative to gas heated systems, which are the most common.
Although electrical heating offers different varieties such as panel heaters (electric radiators) and fan heaters; a good money saving system is the storage heater. The electricity is provided at night which is stored in special heat retaining bricks that give off the heat all through the next day. The benefit of the electricity being used to heat these bricks overnight is to save money as the electricity will be used on the cheaper night time tariff.
