Electric Heaters: Heating The Future

One of the greatest misconceptions in the heating industry is that electric heating is old-fashioned. From its unfashionable beginnings developing storage heaters, electric technology has been continually evolving and improving, with companies like Haverland boasting decades of experience in electric heating manufacture, creating cutting edge electric heaters that rival the energy efficiency of the most established heating solutions. And because electricity is a form of energy, not a type of fuel, it can be converted into heat in many different ways – creating a huge range of products in the electric heating category, from energy efficient infrared panels to budget convection heaters. But what are the innovations that make electric heating a modern heating solution to rival conventional central heating systems?

Norwegian Green Energy Comes to Britain

The National Grid have revealed plans for a subsea electricity cable which would connect the two countries’ electricity markets, allowing green Norwegian electricity to power millions of UK homes. The €2 billion project will increase the UK’s supply of green energy whilst breaking the world record for the longest subsea electric connector. The project, due for completion in 2021, is set to provide 14% of the UK's yearly electricity consumption - bringing the country cheaper and more sustainable electricity.
