Why landlords choose it
Less to go wrong, and nothing to certify annually
No gas plumbing to answer for
No flue, no gas connection and no annual gas safety inspection makes all-electric particularly straightforward for flats and landlords.
No pipework to leak
Electric radiators hold no water, so the leak and flood risk of a wet system leaves with the boiler — worth more in a flat above someone else’s ceiling.
Per-room control
Every room gets its own thermostat and schedule. A tenant heats the rooms they use; an empty property sits at frost protection between tenancies.
Little to maintain
No annual boiler service, no pressure loss, no bleeding radiators and nothing to drain down between tenants.
The EPC question
What electric heating does to the rating — honestly
An EPC grades a property from A to G, and having one is a legal requirement when a property is sold or let. The heating system is one of the factors the assessor reviews — alongside the building's structure, insulation, glazing, lighting and hot water.
We would rather be straight about this than sell around it: the current EPC methodology does not favour electric heating, because the calculations centre on running cost and carbon per unit rather than how a system is actually used. What is also true is that modern Lot 20-compliant radiators don't draw as much electricity as the old heaters they replace, and that insulation — not the heating — is usually the assessor's first recommendation.
Our guide walks through the whole picture — what an assessment covers, where electric heating stands today, and which improvements actually move the rating.
Being straight about running costs
Electricity costs more per unit than gas
A well-designed electric system earns its keep through control — heating only the rooms in use, only when they are in use. In a rental, that control sits with the person paying the bill, which is where it belongs. We would rather show you honest numbers at survey than sell you a saving that does not appear on anyone's bill.
