Switching to electric heating as a primary or comfort heating source is a future-proof decision​

The European Commission has set a target for 40% of residential heating to be sourced from electricity by 2030, and up to 70% by 2050.​
​
The thought behind this is that if electricity is supplied by renewable energy sources, it represents a more environmentally-friendly power source than fossil fuels and a way for us to significantly decrease CO2 emissions and mitigate climate change.​

This is a critical step on the path to net zero, which is why the Commission aims to meet 84% of electricity demand with electricity from renewable energy sources by 2050 and mitigate climate change.

Electric underfloor heating plays a central role in these plans. Research shows that the most cost-efficient heating solution for highly insulated residential buildings is electric underfloor heating used in combination with photovoltaics. 

To meet the European Union’s ambitious climate targets and reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, we need to make residential buildings more energy efficient. This involves improving building insulation and increasing on-site production of renewable electricity, so residential buildings can eventually be self-sustaining, using energy they produce themselves.
