How efficient is the Energy Saver?AnswerAs it uses heat pump technology it provides about 4 times as much thermal energy as it consumes. This is easily the most efficient technology available today.Further as it uses forced air, i.e. a powerful fan to distribute the heat it is much more efficient than normal radiant heat type solutions. We estimate this increases the efficiency a further 50%. Finally, it uses state of the art inverter technology further reducing the energy consumption by about 70%. This means that in real use you can expect it to use only about 10-15% energy of what traditional heating systems use. What sort of running costs can I expect?AnswerRunning costs will be dependent on what level of temperature you would like, what level of insulation you have and for how many hours a day you heat your house. The electric consumption is very low as our units have been optimised for heating. Long-term measurements have given a consumption of between 500 W and 1.0 kW depending on the unit's capacity.Let's assume you heat your house for 10 hours a day & for 7 months of the year. If you pay 12p per kWh you would then pay about £ 146 for a year's worth of heating. This compares very favourably with other types of heating. The same amount of spend on electric underfloor heating will only be sufficient for about 5-10 square metres (a small room). If you were to use electric storage heaters you would spend 10-20 times as much on your space heating. Gas central heating is cheaper so 5-15 times. Using oil falls in between. Without doubt using the Energy Saver is the most efficient and cost effective heating solution on the market today. Please also see our comparison of other alternatives for more information.
