Electric underfloor heating and residential ventilation for fully electric building concepts
Electric heating in the house: When a fully electric heating concept makes sense
How does a modern electric heating and ventilation system work?Those building or renovating often look for a future-proof heating solution. Heating a house with electricity can be a sensible option if the building envelope, power supply, underfloor heating, and ventilation are all well-integrated. This creates a modern heating system that considers heat, air, and energy requirements together.Get a consultation directly.
Electric heating in the house: When heating technology, ventilation and energy concept fit together
Anyone building a new house or renovating one today takes a holistic approach to heating: building envelope, energy demand, electricity supply, ventilation, and control systems must all work together seamlessly. This is precisely when electric heating becomes an attractive option – not as a short-term, supplementary solution, but as a modern heating system for buildings with low heating requirements.
Modern buildings require significantly less heating energy than previous generations. This opens up new possibilities for fully electric concepts that intelligently combine heating, ventilation, and self-generated electricity.
E-NERGY CARBON and AIRUNIT enable fully electric heating in the home
Electric underfloor heating and residential ventilation for buildings with low heating requirements
For a fully electric heating concept, several components must work together: building envelope, electric surface heating, controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery, photovoltaics, energy management and hot water preparation.
The lower the heat losses, the less energy is needed for heating. Residential ventilation reduces ventilation heat losses, while photovoltaics can provide self-generated electricity for heating, ventilation, and other appliances.
In practice, the two systems work together seamlessly: The electric underfloor heating system distributes radiant heat into the room via the ceiling, walls, or floor. Controlled mechanical ventilation complements the heating concept by providing air exchange with heat recovery.
GEG note: The use as a full electric heating system should always be assessed on a project-specific basis – especially with regard to thermal insulation, heating load, power supply, economic efficiency and legal requirements.

The solution from mfh systems:
E-NERGY CARBON plus AIRUNIT – electric surface heating and residential ventilation
E-NERGY CARBON is the electric heating solution when a house is to be heated entirely electrically and the structural and energy requirements are suitable.
This creates comfortable radiant heat directly in the room – not in a localized way like with classic electric radiators, but over a large area and evenly.
AIRUNIT complements the concept with controlled residential ventilation and heat recovery. Depending on the model, up to 99% of the heat is recovered. The system supports controlled air exchange, reduces ventilation heat losses, and contributes to a healthy indoor climate.

Heating entirely with electricity: makes sense if the building, technology and energy requirements are a good match
Modern buildings open up new possibilities for heating with electricity – especially when heat demand, photovoltaics, ventilation and control are planned together.
Electric heating deserves a new perspective: Modern buildings require less heating energy, can be intelligently controlled, and can use electricity from photovoltaics and battery storage in a targeted manner.
As an electric heating system, E-NERGY CARBON fast-acting radiant heat – flexibly plannable for individual rooms, as electric underfloor heating, wall heating, ceiling heating or as electric heating throughout the entire house.
AIRUNIT complements the concept with controlled residential ventilation and heat recovery for fresh air, reduced ventilation heat losses and a pleasant indoor climate.
The result: warmth and fresh air exactly when they are needed – comfortable, easy to control and plannable as a modern heating system.

Questions & Answers
Make well-informed decisions
Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about electric heating, E-NERGY CARBON and AIRUNIT – from application and function to system technology and planning.
Yes, heating a house entirely with electricity is possible if the building envelope, heating load, controls, power supply, and energy concept are suitable. Anyone wanting to heat a house with electricity should always consider the overall concept – not just a single electric heater. Modern buildings with low heating requirements provide good conditions for this.
Electric heating in a house can be particularly advantageous if the heating demand is low and the building has been well-designed or already renovated in terms of energy efficiency. Good prerequisites include, for example, a well-insulated building envelope, usable surfaces for ceiling, wall, or underfloor heating, a suitable power supply, and an existing or planned photovoltaic system.
It is important that the building envelope, heating load, ventilation, hot water preparation, control system and energy concept are considered together.
Electric heating should be examined particularly carefully if a building has a high heating load, is not energy-efficiently renovated, or if there is no clear assessment of the building envelope, electricity supply, and hot water preparation.
Electric heating in a house is therefore not a blanket product promise, but rather part of a coordinated energy concept. The crucial factor is whether the building, its use, electricity supply, photovoltaics, ventilation, and hot water preparation are compatible.
AIRUNIT complements electric underfloor heating with controlled residential ventilation and heat recovery. The system ensures fresh air, reduces ventilation heat losses, and promotes a comfortable indoor climate. Especially in energy-efficient buildings, heating and ventilation should be considered together.
Not automatically. However, for modern, airtight buildings, it makes sense to plan for controlled mechanical ventilation early on. It supports air exchange, reduces ventilation heat losses, and contributes to a comfortable indoor climate.AIRUNIT can be a suitable complement to a fully electric heating system.
E-NERGY CARBON delivers heat directly into the room via the ceiling, walls, or floor. AIRUNIT ensures controlled air exchange with heat recovery. This allows a large portion of the existing heat to remain within the building. The electric radiant heating system then only needs to cover the remaining heating requirements.
Photovoltaics is an important component of a fully electric energy concept. Self-generated electricity can be used for heating, ventilation, hot water, and other appliances. Especially when a house is to be heated with electricity, the PV system's share, electricity tariff, storage, usage patterns, and energy management should all be considered together.
No. E-NERGY CARBON is not a classic electric heater or a single electric radiator, but an electric surface heater based on an ultra-thin carbon heating film.
The heat is emitted over a large area via the ceiling, walls or floor and is perceived as pleasant radiant heat.
E-NERGY CARBON can be installed in ceilings, walls , or floors . Typical applications include electric ceiling heating, electric wall heating, electric underfloor heating, comfort heating, and complete electric heating systems in new construction or renovation projects.
AIRUNIT enables controlled air exchange without the need for regular window opening. Heat recovery helps reduce ventilation heat losses, while moisture, odors, and stale air are effectively removed. This supports fresh air supply, a healthy indoor climate, and moisture control.
Yes, provided the building condition, heating load, power supply, and ventilation situation are suitable. , E-NERGY CARBON is particularly well-suited for renovations. AIRUNIT can complement the system with residential ventilation and heat recovery. Retrofitting feasibility should be assessed on a project-specific basis.
Whether a fully electric heating concept can be implemented effectively depends on factors such as the building envelope, heating load, electricity supply, photovoltaics, hot water preparation, ventilation concept, and applicable regulations. This assessment is carried out by specialist planners, energy consultants, or other qualified project participants.
