You can install and use an infrared heater just as easily as an electric heater, but it consumes less energy. This is because an infrared heater heats locally. It doesn't heat the whole room, but aims at people and objects in the room. That's why an infrared heater works well as extra heating.

With a heat pump, you can heat your entire house electrically in the most sustainable way. The heat pump uses power to extract heat from the soil, the air, or the ground water. This means it uses energy, but less than the previously mentioned heaters. Even though the usage costs of a heat pump are low, the installation of the pump is expensive. But, you'll get a fully sustainable way of heating for your house in return.

• This is a completely sustainable way of heating.
• Low usage costs.
• You might receive a grant for installing a heat pump.

• Having a heat pump installed is very expensive.
• You'll earn back the investment only after about 7 to 15 years.

An electric central heating boiler is a good alternative for a heat pump. This way of heating is just as sustainable, but the purchase price is much lower. The usage costs are higher. An electric central heating boiler works best if your house is well-insulated, you consume little energy, and you have solar panels on the roof.

• Completely sustainable way of heating.
• Good replacement for heat pump thanks to lower purchase costs.

• Your house has to be insulated properly.
• You should use little kWh for it to be beneficial.
• High usage costs.
