Enjoy the benefits of electricity
An efficient electric heating system costs less than a combustion heating system, especially when you factor in the high cost of fossil fuels.
Electric heating also presents less risk of fire or explosion.
In addition, you do not have to perform annual maintenance on the appliances and you eliminate any risk of leakage. This means your home requires less maintenance and is cheaper to insure.
Reducing health impacts
An electric heating system pollutes 160 times less than a system that runs on fossil fuels.
Pollutants can worsen chronic illnesses, such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
Switching to an electrical system significantly reduces the effects of pollution on health.
