The All Electric Home: Your Complete Guide to Sustainable Living in 2025
Are you considering making your home completely electric? You’re not alone! The all electric home is transforming how UK homeowners think about energy. By integrating solar panels, home battery storage, electric heating systems and smart hot water solutions, these homes offer a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional energy solutions.
What Makes a Home All Electric ?
An all-electric home eliminates the need for gas boilers and fossil fuels entirely, relying solely on electricity to power every aspect of daily living. This transformative shift not only reduces carbon emissions but also enhances energy efficiency and reduces your energy bills. At the heart of this innovation is smart electric heating, which replaces traditional gas-based systems with cleaner, safer, and more controllable alternatives. Electric heating technologies—such as air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, and high-efficiency smart connected electric radiators, offer precise temperature control, lower maintenance requirements, and seamless integration with renewable energy sources like solar panels. These systems are often paired with smart thermostats and home energy management tools, allowing homeowners to optimize comfort while minimizing energy use. It’s a revolutionary approach that integrates four key technologies that work brilliantly together: electric heating, heat pump water heaters, induction cooking, and electric vehicle charging, creating a cohesive, future-ready ecosystem for sustainable living.
Solar Panels: Your Personal Power Station
Modern solar panels achieve impressive 18-24.8% efficiency rates, with cutting-edge models reaching 30.6%. These rooftop powerhouses generate free electricity during daylight hours, backed by 25-year warranties. They’re your first step toward energy independence and dramatically reduced electricity bills.

With professional installation services and cutting-edge technology, we make it easy to embrace a sustainable lifestyle and take full control of your heating system.
Home Batteries: Store Energy for Later
Home battery storage systems in the UK cost £2,500-£8,000, with typical 2-3 bedroom house systems ranging £5,000-£7,000. Thanks to 0% VAT on batteries installed with solar panels (since February 2024), you’ll save up to 20% on costs. Government loans offer up to £5,000 for battery systems, making this technology more accessible than ever.
Home battery storage is the key to unlocking energy savings and sustainability. By pairing high-efficiency battery systems with Intelli Heat smart electric heating, you can store clean electricity, especially from solar panels or off-peak tariffs and use it when energy prices are highest. This not only reduces your reliance on the grid but also significantly lowers your heating bills. With intelligent energy management and zero-emission electric heating, you’ll enjoy consistent comfort while reducing your carbon footprint. Embrace renewable energy, take control of your energy usage, and future-proof your home with battery-powered electric heating solutions.
Electric Radiators: Smart, Safe Heating
iSense Smart connected Electric radiators provide precise, room-by-room temperature control without gas safety concerns. These modern heating solutions feature smart thermostats, programmable schedules, heating management App and zonal heating capabilities. According to Energy Saving Trust, upgrading to an efficient and easily controllable heating system is key to cutting heating costs and reducing carbon emissions. Electric central heating with smart, energy-efficient zones allows wireless control of individual radiators, enabling customized schedules based on occupancy, smart iot connected thermostats let you adjust settings remotely via app, helping you save energy and money effortlessly. They’re perfect for powering with your solar electricity and offer superior comfort compared to traditional inefficient analogue heating control.
Thermodynamic Hot Water: Efficient and Reliable
Thermodynamic hot water systems work like heat pumps, extracting energy from outside air (even at -15°C!) to heat your water. They’re 300-400% more efficient than traditional electric water heaters, providing consistent hot water while using minimal electricity. Thermodynamic water heaters use outdoor air to extract heat, offering greater efficiency than traditional electric heating and significantly reducing energy consumption.
How Do These Technologies Work Together?
Here’s where the magic happens! Your all electric home creates a synergistic energy ecosystem:
- PV Solar panels generate electricity during the day.
- Home storage batteries store unused solar energy for evening use.
- Electric radiators and thermodynamic water systems use this stored energy for heating and hot water.
- Mysense Smart controls combined with the API energy monitoring portal optimize energy use, reducing waste and maximizing comfort.
This integration minimizes grid dependency, cuts utility bills, and reduces your carbon footprint while enhancing home comfort.

The Amazing Benefits of Going All Electric
Save Money Every Month
All electric homes can reduce electricity bills by 70-90%! Solar panels generate free daytime electricity, batteries store excess energy for peak-rate periods, and smart systems optimize usage automatically. Many homeowners achieve net-zero energy costs or even earn money selling excess solar power back to the grid.
Help Save the Planet
The UK’s electricity grid was cleaner than ever in 2024, with CO2 emissions falling by two-thirds over a decade. All electric homes eliminate direct fossil fuel use, and when powered by solar panels, achieve near-zero operational emissions. With household heating emissions needing to reduce by 95% for net-zero targets, going all electric is essential for climate action.
Enjoy Superior Comfort
Electric systems provide instant responsiveness and precise control. Set different temperatures in each room, monitor energy use remotely, and enjoy consistent hot water without gas system pressure variations. Smart home integration means your heating learns your routines and optimizes automatically.
Future-Proof Your Home. All electric homes are ready for tomorrow’s energy landscape. Your electrical infrastructure easily accommodates electric vehicle charging, and battery systems can participate in virtual power plant programs for additional income. As the UK phases out fossil fuel heating, you’ll avoid costly retrofitting requirements.
Government Support Makes It Affordable
The UK government is actively encouraging the transition to all-electric homes by offering generous financial incentives that make sustainable living more accessible. Homeowners can now benefit from 0% VAT on home battery installations when paired with solar panels, significantly reducing upfront costs. Additionally, the government provides low-interest loans of up to £6,000 for solar PV systems and £5,000 for battery storage, helping households invest in clean energy technologies without financial strain. With flexible repayment terms ranging from 5 to 10 years, these loans are designed to be manageable and budget-friendly. By taking advantage of these incentives, UK residents can reduce their energy bills, lower their carbon footprint, and future-proof their homes with smart electric heating and renewable energy solutions. Now is the perfect time to embrace an all-electric lifestyle and make the most of government-backed support for a greener future.
Is an All Electric Home Right for You?
With solar battery costs between £2,500-£8,000 and the cleanest electricity grid in UK history, there’s never been a better time to go all electric. The combination of declining technology costs, generous government incentives, and environmental benefits creates a compelling case for all electric homes.
The all electric home isn’t just about technology, it’s about creating a sustainable, comfortable, and economical living space that’s ready for the future. With household heating emissions requiring a 95% reduction to meet net-zero targets, the all electric home is rapidly becoming the smart choice for UK homeowners.
