Healthier Heating with 80% Bill Reduction
Background
David Lee contacted us to share details of his whole house electric retrofit, in the UK, and the significant reduction in bills he has experienced following his installation involving infrared heating panels. “This technology (coupled with removal of gas, electric water heater and PV on roof x9 panels) has given me 80% reduction on my bills”.
This stunning renovation proves exactly what is possible in delivering a decarbonised home of the future. As well as achieving an 80% reduction in bills, Dave outlined that the install cost him “less than putting in radiators, pipes new boiler and water heater”. He also states how he “was able to knock down most of my ground floor internal walls because….. no need for radiators”.
Clean air
A benefit that Dave has also found, and one that he quotes “as most important”, applies to the radiant heating technology itself and the living environment that it creates. “My son has cystic fibrosis and this technology has allowed a heated environment with clean air without dangerous wet particles”.
Infrared is considered by many to provide a fresher form of heating and, in turn, create healthier living environments for people, by helping to elminate damp and mould as well as reducing the circulation of dust and allergens. It’s fantastic to hear how the switch to infrared heating has been of benefit to Dave’s son.
Hear Dave’s inspiring story
Dave got in contact as he was keen to share his inspiring story on how Herschel infrared panel heaters have provided his family with invaluable benefits that no other heating solution could, maintaining a consistent temperature for his son’s health condition and improving air quality.
His son has cystic fibrosis and requires a constant temperature of over 18°C, now instead of having to heat the whole house, Dave is able to heat individual rooms to ideal temperatures and also create a mould-free, healthier living environment. Infrared is seen by many as a healthier heating solution.
Dave describes infrared heating as “a truly superb technology”. The ceiling-mounted white panel heaters, controlled via mains-powered thermostats, provide a discreet and space-saving heating solution for this modern interior.
Thanks to Dave for sharing details of his Herschel Infrared heating install, combined with solar PV and electric water heater – an inspiring whole house electric retrofit that showcases how homes can be adapted to reduce both carbon emissions and energy bills in the delivery of a net zero future.
