There are many forms of electric heating systems.
Off peak storage heating.
The most cost-effective form of electric central heating uses storage heaters. These heaters use electricity supplied at a cheaper ‘night-time’ rate to heat up special heat-retaining bricks.
Storage heaters give out heat slowly and are designed to keep warm for the whole of the following day. Cheap-rate electricity can also be used to provide hot water via an immersion heater in your hot water tank
Oil Filled Radiators
Modern systems such as Rionte use stylish radiators to provide heat. These are probably the most efficient form of electric heating. Thermostats in each radiator allow greater control than in other systems. Each radiator can be programmed to the exact temperature and times of operation. These are probably the closest match in heat output and controllability to a water filled system.
Panel Heaters
Probably the cheapest form of electric heater to install. However beware they are expensive to run and very inefficient.
Electric Boiler
Works with a water filled system. All radiators and water cylinder as as you would expect in a gas or oil system, but instead of a gas boiler, an electric heating unit is installed.
