IS A WARM WELCOME HOME WAITING FOR YOU? Whether you’ve been travelling to sunnier climes or just away on business for a short trip, at this time of year, you’ll want to come back to a cosy home. ADVERTORIAL But what if you’re getting a less than warm welcome when you walk through the door? Perhaps your existing heating system is just not working properly, or maybe it’s just proving too expensive to run? Either way, you need to take action but do consider your options carefully. Just because there’s a cold snap, don’t make a snap decision. There’s a wide range of heating alternatives available and it’s important to choose a system that is going to work for you in the long term. Just because there’s a cold snap, don’t make a snap decision There is so much that needs to be factored in to making the right choice of heating for your home including: cost, choice of system, safety, reliability and increasingly, sustainability. Cost can vary considerably depending on the type of system and the type of fuel you choose, but it’s important to remember that a good heating system should last you over 10 years so don’t just consider the initial installation costs, make sure you factor in to your decision what it will cost you to run each year. When it comes to reliability, there is not much difference between the most popular systems, but to be sure of longevity, you might want to consider the long-term security of your fuel choice. Will it continue to be readily available and will it also be consistently priced? When correctly installed, most modern heating systems are very safe but because there is a potential risk of deadly fumes, fossil fuel boilers do require carbon monoxide detectors to be installed and will also need flues for waste gases. Our individual impact on the environment is something we can no longer afford to ignore and a more sustainable choice of home heating is one way we can help lower our carbon footprint. No matter how efficient oil and gas systems are, their extraction, refinement, transportation and combustion contributes a higher proportion of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere than non-fossil fuel alternatives. Of course, personal preference will also play a large part in your final decision. You want something that suits your home, your lifestyle and your budget. Make sure you factor in to your decision what it will cost you to run each year Gas, oil and electric systems all offer the choice of traditional central heating and ‘wet’ underfloor heating, but electric heating is also available as radiant underfloor, pipe-free central heating, storage heaters and panel heaters, which does give it the edge over the other fuels in terms of flexibility and choice. Underfloor heating has become a very popular choice for many homeowners as it provides invisible warmth that rises up and heats the whole room. It can be used with virtually every type of floor and can be run off a wet (boiler) system, as a direct electric elements or via renewables such as air source heat pumps. It can be retrofitted, the electric option generally being a lot easier than a full wet system, but unless you are undertaking major renovations or a new build then you may want to simply consider changing your boiler for a new, more efficient one. For anyone looking to add a loft or other type of extension or with the odd room that always seem that bit too cold, storage heaters or electric panel heaters can provide a solution that requires minimal disruption. Modern storage heaters are a world away from the big old clunky storage models of years ago, they are sleek, stylish and even have digitally controlled thermostats. There is a lot to consider before choosing to upgrade or add a new heating system which is why Guernsey Electricity has invested in a new Home Heating Centre where you can call in for friendly helpful advice on the type of heating that best suits you. Our team has years of experience to help guide you through the electric heating choices available and as part of our quote process, if you let us have your current gas or oil bills, we can even work out how much it will cost you to run so you’ll have peace of mind for the long term.
