Sustainable electric heating Switch to electric to save money on heating bills

With rising energy costs and dropping temperatures, heating is a concern for all, especially at this time of year. Electric heating offers users controllability and energy-saving features to ensure optimum comfort and that bills are kept to a minimum. Landlord Mode ensures that heating is only on when needed, and offers full visibility and control over all heaters.

How it works

Gain complete control and visibility of each heater remotely by using the ATC Heating App. By using the app, it is possible see:

• Whether the heaters are on;

• What setting they are on;

• How much energy they are using.

After a quick analysis of how the heaters are operating, the settings can be changed to ensure the best performance at any given time

When the property is occupied

Even when tenants are in the property, the landlord can still control the heating system. When Landlord Mode is activated, the only option available to the tenant is to boost the heater to a pre-set temperature. If required, this temperature can be changed remotely using the app. This takes away the opportunity for the tenant to turn the heater temperature up and leave it on for long periods. This is a significant cost saver.

If a property is occupied with the heater on and the tenant decides to open a window, then the open window function kicks in and turns the heater off, again saving energy.

When the property is unoccupied

The heaters automatically go into setback temperature mode, saving energy and reducing costs.

ATC range of electric heaters

ATC electric heaters can be installed in place of existing heating sources on site with no fuss and with minimum maintenance required post-installation. The entire range of radiators and panel heaters are sleek and modern in design, complementing any room décor, and designed to offer complete control to the bill payer.
