With property developers and house builders increasingly looking to help the owners or occupiers of new homes lower their carbon foot print, and keep in tune with part “L” of the building regulations electric heating is fast becoming a sensible alternative.
There are several systems now available on the market and the property developer or house builder has the ability to use a combination of electric heaters, electric water heaters, and solar panels to give effective heating, hot water, and help keep carbon emissions to a minimum.
The other benefit is that there is no need for a gas safety check if the property is designed to run with out and gas supply, and the property developer makes a large saving on the cost of getting a new gas supply to each property in the new development. This also has great advantages for social housing or the private rental sector where landlords benefit greatly from a reduced maintenance program.
