Energy Supply Comparison

With energy costs rising, our Energy Supply Comparison shows that the running costs for our gas warm air heaters would be approximately one quarter of the cost of an electric equivalent (subject to tariff), and whilst heat pumps do save carbon compared to gas appliances, the equivalent heat pump systems are not currently economically viable either as a purchased asset or in terms of their running costs.

Understanding Energy Costs in the Current Market

Why Compare Energy Prices?

In today's volatile energy market, understanding energy prices is crucial for managing energy bills effectively. By comparing gas and electricity options, you can find the most economical solutions for your business. Our analysis shows that gas warm air heaters can reduce running costs to approximately one quarter of the cost of electric heaters, depending on the energy tariff. This substantial difference can lead to significant savings over time.

Benefits of Gas Heating Systems

Our detailed comparison highlights the advantages of using gas systems over other heating methods. While heat pumps and dual fuel systems offer certain benefits, they are currently not as economically viable as gas heaters either as a purchased asset or in terms of their running costs. Moreover, renewable energy solutions, although environmentally friendly, often come with higher initial costs and uncertain long-term savings.

Impact on Business Energy Costs

For businesses, particularly those with large spaces such as warehouses, managing energy bills is a significant concern. Our comparison takes into account various building sizes to ensure accurate cost evaluations. Larger buildings typically require more powerful and efficient heating systems, making warm air heaters an ideal choice for warehouse heating and other large spaces.
