Save energy with self-regulating points heating

Part 5 of 10 Reasons to Choose Graybar

Save energy with self-regulating points heating

up to 30% less

Rail networks are setting ambitious targets to reduce CO₂ emissions with the move towards net zero. To meet these targets it is crucial to find ways to reduce energy consumption.

GrayBar’s Self Regulating Points Heating system is the perfect solution to reduce both operational expenditure and energy consumption. Our Points Heating system uses intelligent polymer heater strips which only heat the cold part of the rail, using up to 30% less energy compared to constant wattage points heating. Combined with a long life (40+ years) this makes it the obvious choice for reducing the whole life cost of points heating.

This targeted heating approach not only improves energy efficiency but also reduces wear and tear, helping operators lower maintenance costs. With a service life of over 40 years, GrayBar’s system offers long-term reliability and significantly reduces the whole-life cost of points heating.

Designed for UK rail conditions and approved by Network Rail, our self-regulating technology ensures consistent performance in freezing temperatures while supporting sustainability goals across the network.
