How is the NEOS electric radiator 59.4% more effective?

One claim we make is that the NEOS electric radiator is 59.4% more effective than some electric radiators. You may be asking how, but let us break it down for you. Every Electrical appliance is 100% efficient as one kilowatt in will release one kilowatt out. However, every electric heater works differently. For example, a panel heater relies on radiant heat which will result in the room having cold spots, so it isn’t really effective is it? Whereas the NEOS electric radiator is 59.4% better at warming a space than some market leaders of electric heating. Don’t just take our word for it, the University of Huddersfield conducted a thorough test of the NEOS compared to some market leaders…

The Experiment

The University of Huddersfield compared the NEOS radiator to a traditional electric convector heater and a standard panel heater, under realistic conditions mimicking a typical day in a household. The goal was to quantify the NEOS radiator’s efficiency and effectiveness in maintaining optimal indoor temperatures.

The results? The NEOS radiator outshone the competition, being up to a staggering 59.4% more effective (as it was on for 59.4% less of the time that the other 2 heaters were on). Its features such its soapstone core, patented back wall and precise temperature control result in less energy wastage and cheaper running costs.

Testing Conditions:

During the experiment, the outside temperature stood at approximately 14 degrees Celsius, while the thermostat was set to maintain a cosy 24 degrees Celsius. Over a six-hour period, the University of Huddersfield meticulously recorded the performance of each heating system using thermal couples, paying close attention to the amount of time each radiator consumed electricity.

The Numbers

Now let’s talk about what really matters - the potential savings and Return On Investment.

A NEOS electric radiator system consumes 2402 kWh per year, costing approximately £720.60 per year (£0.30KwH).

In contrast, a panel heater uses 5076.57 kWh per year, costing about £1,523 annually.

This translates into a whopping annual savings of £802.40 with the NEOS system.

If we project these savings over a period of 25 years, you’re looking at a jaw-dropping total saving of £20,060!

The Investment

Considering an average order value for NEOS radiators, you might wonder about the return on investment (ROI). Well, the numbers speak for themselves.

Within the first 5 years, your NEOS radiators would have paid for themselves, after which they start generating a positive ROI. By the end of the fifth year, you will not only have recovered your initial investment but also made an additional 18% return.

Beyond the 5-year mark, every pound saved is a pound earned, contributing to an even greater ROI. And in the following 20 years you will have an ROI of £16,060.

In a nutshell, the NEOS electric radiator system is a smart investment for a comfortable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly heating solution. It’s not just about the warmth we deliver, but the long-term savings and the sustainable future we promise.
