A balance has to be found between meeting budgets and meeting the needs of tenants.

As the price gap between gas and electric reduces, an electric heating system has become an increasingly feasible option to provide heat to homes. Recent advances in Electric Radiator and Electric Boiler technology offers home owners and tenants with a cost effective, reliable and comfortable heating solution.

So why EHC?

Our unique support service, the ‘Total Care Package’, has been accepted by Housing Associations and Local Councils throughout the UK as being an essential feature that ensures running costs are kept at an affordable level.

The ‘Total Care Package’ is a service which involves visiting Tenants pre and post installation to:
- Discuss suitable Electricity Tariffs and times
- Provide running cost indications
- Educate tenants to ensure that heating controls are operated in an efficient and effective manner
We will also assess whether the current electric load of the property can support the new heating system. If upgrades to the mains supply are needed, the Social Landlord will be informed.

Our Electric Combination Radiators are an ideal solution for properties when you are replacing antiquated storage heating. EHC Radiators can utilise the existing wiring which saves time and money. In turn making the process less inconvenient and disruptive for the tenant.

For properties where a “Wet Central Heating” system is being considered, EHC will supply an Electric Boiler or, where space is at a premium, the Slim Jim Electric Flow Boiler. Additionally, where required, we can supply Stainless Steel Unvented Mains Pressure Cylinders .

The controls for EHC heating systems are designed with the tenant in mind. We recognise that there are many types of central heating programmers and room thermostats in the market however we specify an uncomplicated hard wired room stat and easy-to-use 3 on/off heating programmer. Furthermore the Hot Water Programmer that we specify for Direct Cylinders can be programmed with easy-to-use 3 on/off daily time selections.

EHC’s Electric Combination Radiators are supplied with a 15 year Guarantee on the body of the Heat Retention Radiators and 2 years on the electronics. The Electric Boilers come with a 2 year guarantee.

Extended Warranties are available on all EHC Products.

From Aberdeen to Devon, EHC have supplied their service and products to Tower Block Apartments, Detached Houses, Semi-Detached Houses, Bungalows, Sheltered Housing Complexes and Schools. Please contact us if project information is required.

Social tenant thanks the Tele for new heating

A Social Tenant dad who suffers from epilepsy and asthma has received a new heating system thanks to the Tele’s intervention.

David Williamson, from Northfield Avenue, contacted us to say the white meter storage heating in his house left him with breathing difficulties.

The 43-year-old claimed he’d repeatedly complained to landlords River Clyde Homes to no avail.

We stepped in and now David has a new and improved system.

He said: “I want to say thank-you to the Tele. It has made such a difference, as I can now watch the TV in comfort without having to pile on layers of clothes.

“The old system didn’t heat the house but now it’s like living in luxury.”

The new heating system supplied by the Electric Heating Company has also improved the life of his son Brendan.

David added: “He can now sit in his room and play on his laptop, whereas before it was so cold that he had to lie in his bed with the quilt covering him.”

He was also keen to thank Jim Snoddy and Robert Allison of River Clyde Homes, as well as Garry Cowan from The Electric Heating Company.

David said: “These guys were great and did a really good job.”
