Upgrading electric storage heaters can often seem like a costly endeavour that many hesitate to commit to. However, by reaching out to NewGen, you could benefit from a fully funded ECO grant that covers this expense. To qualify for a grant that pays for the installation of new electric storage heaters, the homeowner or a resident of the property must either receive one of the specified benefits or meet the LA Flex criteria.
Once we verify your eligibility for the grant, a NewGen team member will conduct a complimentary, no-obligation survey of your property. This assessment enables us to determine the funding available for your new electric storage heaters, streamlining the upgrade process.
There are many reasons why you should consider upgrading your electric storage heaters. In this section, we will discuss some of the most important ones.
One of the main reasons to upgrade your electric storage heaters is for improved energy efficiency. Older models of electric storage heaters can be inefficient and consume a lot of electricity, leading to higher energy bills. This is especially true if your heater has not been maintained regularly.
By upgrading to a newer model, you can benefit from improved insulation and temperature control features that will help reduce your energy consumption. This means lower energy bills and a more environmentally friendly heating solution.
Older electric storage heaters often have limited temperature control options, which can make it difficult to achieve the desired level of warmth in your home. This can result in a constantly fluctuating temperature and discomfort.
Newer models of electric storage heaters come equipped with advanced features such as programmable timers and precise thermostat controls. These allow you to set specific temperatures for different times of the day, providing you with more control over your heating needs and ensuring a consistently comfortable living environment.
Safety is always a top priority when it comes to any type of heating system. By upgrading to a newer model of storage heater you will be ensuring the safety of all household members. With the latest technology and safety features, modern models are far less likely to break down or put your home at any significant risk. They also have advanced safety mechanisms such as automatic shut-off and overheat protection, giving you peace of mind.
Older electric storage heaters often require frequent maintenance due to their outdated technology and design. This can be time-consuming and costly in the long run. By upgrading to a modern model, you can benefit from reduced maintenance requirements as these heaters are designed with durability in mind.
If you are planning on selling your property in the near future, upgrading your electric storage heaters can significantly increase its value. Modern heating systems are considered a desirable feature by potential buyers and could add considerable value to your home. Additionally, having a more energy-efficient heating system can also make your property more attractive to potential buyers, helping to lower your EPC rating in line with government objectives.
By upgrading your electric storage heaters, you will not only be saving on your energy bills but also reducing your carbon footprint. Older models of electric storage heaters often use outdated technology and consume a lot of electricity, which can have a negative impact on the environment. By switching to a newer model with improved energy efficiency, you will be contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
All electric heater installations, whether free or paid, are performed by certified electricians registered with the JIB. Furthermore, every electric heater we offer is backed by a 12-year manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring your complete peace of mind.
