Running Cost of Süka Heaters
Running cost of any heating system depends a lot on several factors. The Energy Saving Trust recommends that one should be looking more at life time cost than just what it costs to heat a given space per time. Whiles the lifetime cost of our heaters considering a 15 year guarantee and the fact that the heaters require no maintenance at all is extremely attractive and even lower than a gas boiler central heating system, many an enquirer have often asked us to give a snapshot of what it costs to run our systems compared to Economy 7 Night Storage Heaters. Here is an example of our calculation:
