New electric radiator system notes - In 2019 the old electric storage heaters were removed and North East Heating installed ELKAtherm wall-mounted electric radiators within the property, the radiators have 20 years left of the original 25-year warranty. Our clients have informed us that as a family they currently have a monthly electricity bill of around £150 per calendar month, this is their heating, cooking and hot water needs all taken care of across the various seasons of the year. The following is taken from the ELKAtherm website.....'Heat breathes life into buildings, it brings comfort and warmth. Throughout history in cold climates the fireplace was often the central focal point of many main living areas within our homes, such is the importance of heat to human life. These fireplaces would often burn smoky fossil fuels and weren’t always good for the health of the occupants or of the environment.

It is increasingly more important that we strive for better solutions. There has been a sea change in recent years to thinking around energy and sustainability. ELKATHERM® are leading the way with excellent electric heating design technology, using premier materials, precise thermostatic control, achieving excellent running costs and all this coupled together with perhaps the best aesthetics and choices available within the industry.

German engineering since 1954 means that our products are tried and tested. You can rest assured that your new heating is engineered to stand the test of time and we guarantee our products so that you have complete peace of mind with your new heating system.'
