Looking to upgrade your heating in Highertown, Truro? You’re not alone. Many homeowners are moving away from outdated gas systems and old storage heaters, switching to modern, energy-efficient electric heating solutions that keep Cornish homes warm AND energy bills lower.
Many homes in Highertown and across Truro were built without easy access to mains gas, or they rely on old, expensive storage heaters. That’s where modern electric heating steps in; no pipes, no boiler, and no endless maintenance visits.
Electric radiators work perfectly in older Cornish homes as well as new builds. They’re easy to install, efficient to run, and give you total control over every room.
Energy efficient: Our NEOS electric radiators store heat in a natural stone core and release it slowly, meaning your rooms stay warm even when the power isn’t constantly on.
Low maintenance: Forget about boiler servicing, leaking pipes or expensive call-outs. With the NEOS electric radiator, there’s no moving parts, so maintenance is very little. That’s why we offer a 25 year guarantee, because we believe the NEOS will last a lifetime!
Better control, better comfort: Not only do we offer multiple thermostats to suit you, you can adjust each room exactly to suit your lifestyle, whenever you like. No more heating rooms you’re not using.
Ideal for Cornish properties: Whether you’re in a stone cottage, a townhouse in Highertown, or a newer build, electric radiators can be fitted with minimal disruption and no major renovations. (You can literally plug them in).
Electric heating isn’t always cheaper to run than gas, and we’re not going to argue with that. Gas has historically been cheaper per unit of energy, so in many cases, an old gas boiler can still be the lowest-cost option to run day-to-day (especially if it’s newer and efficient).
However, electric radiators can still make financial sense for many homes in Truro, especially when you consider the full picture:
Older gas systems often waste energy, with heat lost through old pipework and up to 40% of heat is lost to the back wall. And let’s not forget about older boilers running inefficiently.
Electric radiators give you full control, so you only heat the rooms you’re using. That targeted control can help reduce waste and, for some people, lower overall bills.
Maintenance costs are much lower, as electric radiators don’t require annual boiler servicing, gas safety checks, or pipe repairs.
If you choose a green or off-peak electricity tariff (like the Octopus Cosy Tariff), you can also reduce your running costs while using electricity during lower cost times.
In short, while electric heating isn’t always the cheapest per kilowatt-hour, but it offers more control, simpler maintenance, and can work out better overall, especially in homes without a gas connection or where upgrading a gas system would be costly.
Absolutely. Many Highertown homes are older, with thick walls and no existing central heating pipework. Electric radiators are a perfect match because they don’t require any pipes, tanks or external units, just a standard electricity supply (often a 3 pin plug will do)!
