The short answer is yes, but let’s dig deeper into what efficiency really means and why not all electric heating systems are created equal.
All electrical appliances are 100% efficient in the sense that 1kW of electricity in, equals 1kW of heat out. This is a basic principle of physics. However, the real question isn’t whether electric heating is efficient, it’s to what extent it’s efficient in practical, real-world use.
This is where the NEOS electric radiator stands apart from standard electric heaters.
The NEOS electric radiator uses a patented soapstone core combined with an aluminium casing to maximise usable heat output while minimising energy consumption.
Here’s how it works:
When you turn on a NEOS radiator, it heats up quickly thanks to the aluminium casing. But the real efficiency comes from the soapstone core inside. This natural metamorphic rock absorbs heat rapidly and stores it effectively. Even after the radiator switches off, the soapstone continues releasing warmth into your room.
This means your radiator isn’t constantly drawing electricity. It operates in cycles, the rest of the time, it’s using stored heat from the soapstone core.
Efficiency isn’t just about how much electricity you use, it’s about how effectively that electricity heats your home. A cheap panel heater might be “100% efficient” on paper, but if it has to run constantly to maintain temperature, your bills will be high.
The NEOS electric radiator reduces running costs by:
Heating up quickly
Storing heat in the soapstone core
Releasing heat gradually, even when switched off
Operating in short cycles rather than running continuously
Gas boilers are only 60-90% efficient at converting fuel to heat. They also require annual servicing (around £80), and replacement boilers can cost up to £5,000. With electric heating like the NEOS, there’s no boiler to service, no annual maintenance, and our 25-year guarantee is the longest in the industry.
Yes, electric heating is efficient, but the NEOS electric radiator takes efficiency further by combining instant heat with smart technology. Since 2014, thousands of customers across the UK have chosen Trust Electric Heating for reliable, efficient heating solutions.
