2025 Electric Heating Trends

4 min read

As we move into 2025, electric heating is getting smarter and greener. Exciting new technologies are being developed to make heating systems more efficient. Changes in regulations are also influencing how buildings and businesses can improve their heating setups. 

This year, it’s important for facility managers and business owners to keep an eye on these trends, as they can affect their heating options and long-term energy plans.

Key Trends Driving Electric Heating in 2025

1. Next-Generation Heating Equipment

Manufacturers are developing more efficient electric heat pumps and unit heaters. They are designed to provide superior heating, even in colder climates. New unit heaters can be retrofitted into existing spaces. These advancements help businesses reduce heating costs while improving comfort. 

The market for high voltage electric heaters is growing quickly. This is mainly because more people are using electric vehicles (EVs). These heaters help keep the inside of EVs warm and regulate battery temperatures so they run efficiently. Unlike traditional heaters that burn fuel, these electric heaters turn almost all the electricity they consume into heat.

Right now, the electric heating market is expanding fast. It went from $2.12 billion in 2023 to $2.6 billion in 2024. Experts predict it will reach nearly $7 billion by 2029. This growth is fueled by the global trend towards cleaner energy options and better performance in electric cars.

2. Smart Technology Integration

The use of smart technology in heating systems is growing rapidly. Many new electric heaters now come with features that allow your phone to connect wirelessly. This allows for remote monitoring and control through mobile applications. With this technology, you can ensure your heater works by getting updates and information in real time.

Recent advancements in technology are greatly benefiting the heating systems used in electric vehicles (EVs). Companies are developing heaters that are not only smarter but also more effective. For instance, in early 2024, a company named Webasto introduced three new heaters that are highly efficient, converting electricity into heat with an impressive rate of 95%. This innovation helps make electric cars more comfortable and energy-efficient for drivers and passengers alike.

3. Compliance with New EPA Regulations

In 2025, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is enforcing new regulations that require HVAC manufacturers to use refrigerants with lower Global Warming Potential (GWP). These new regulations are encouraging companies to create greener options that support sustainability efforts. It will be important for facility managers to make sure their heating systems meet these updated guidelines.

4. Predictive Maintenance and Automation

One of the biggest developments in electric heating is the use of predictive maintenance technology. These modern heating systems are fitted with special sensors that monitor their performance in real time. This means that facility managers can spot potential problems before they lead to expensive breakdowns. As a result, maintenance costs are lowered, and the equipment lasts longer.

5. Cost-Saving and Sustainable Solutions

Efficiency improvements in electric heating technology are helping businesses lower energy expenses while reducing their environmental footprint. Many of today’s electric heating systems are much cheaper to run compared to traditional heating methods.

North America currently leads the market. As more people switch to electric vehicles, the demand for these heaters will continue to rise. There are different types of electric heaters available—some heat the inside of the car, while others manage the engine and battery temperature. As society continues to prioritize sustainability, these electric heaters will play a crucial role in the future of transportation.
