Maintenance and Energy Efficiency
Designers taking a wider view of the buildings overall sustainability are also interested in considering lifetime system ownership costs.
Electric heating systems do not require any regular maintenance or annual safety inspections. In addition, the efficiency of electrical resistance heating, which can be considered to be 100% at the point of use, does not deteriorate over the products lifetime, unlike centralized boiler systems, which lose efficiency sludge and particulates are circulated through the heat exchanger and distribution system.
