Benefits of installing electric central heating

Installation Process

How It Works
Electric central ducted heating operates by drawing in air, warming it with high-efficiency electric split system technology (which is why they are sometimes called ducted split system air conditioners), and distributing it through ducts to different rooms.
Reverse Cycle
As well as heating in winter, the way the system operates can be reversed, providing effective refrigerated cooling in summer. These systems provide year-round comfort with one energy-efficient unit.
Installation & Running Costs
While electric heating can have a higher upfront cost than gas systems, running costs can be lower—especially if you have solar panels to offset electricity use. You can also check out our guide on ducted air conditioning costs to get an idea of installation pricing.
