Whether you are a specifier, social housing provider, homeowner or
tenant, safety is a key consideration when selecting a heating system.
Dimplex electric heating has a number of safety benefits over other
fuels:
- Because electric heaters do not burn fuel internally to generate heat, there are none of the associated safety risks, such as carbon monoxide poisoning or explosions. If you are a social housing provider or private landlord, the law also requires you to ensure that any gas appliances in your properties are checked annually to confirm they are working safely*. Apart from how much this will cost in inspection and servicing charges, there is the additional expense of gaining access to tenants’ properties, in selected cases necessitating the services of locksmiths and even the police where tenants refuse access.
- With the vast majority of electric heating systems, there are no radiators to leak or burst, so there is less risk of property damage – especially relevant if the property is likely to be vacant for a period of time, or the property is within an apartment block which could damage neighbouring properties.
-
With very few moving parts to break down or wear out, Dimplex electric
heating is also extremely reliable and will normally run
satisfactorily for much longer than a conventional wet system,
avoiding the need for inconvenient call backs.
