Electric Radiators

Finding the right electric radiator can be a challenging undertaking, but they have become a go to choice for the 2.2 million households in the UK (and growing) that rely on electric heating. Modern electric radiators provide a feeling of warmth similar to traditional central heating systems but without the need for complex, messy plumbing. 

Electric Radiators are 100% efficient at the point of use, converting every watt of power into heat energy. Whether you are looking for a sleek vertical for a small space or a traditional column look, modern electric radiators offer a versatile, eco-friendly alternative that is simple to install and requires zero maintenance other than cleaning and dusting. 

The Perfect Alternative to Night Storage Heaters

One of the primary reasons homeowners switch to modern electric radiators is to replace outdated and inefficient night storage heaters. Traditional storage heaters are often bulky and difficult to control, frequently leaking heat during the night and running cold by the evening when you need the warmth most. By contrast, modern electric radiators are fully controllable, allowing you to release heat only when and where it is needed

What’s The Difference Between Oil Filled & Dry Electric Radiators? 

It is worth knowing and understanding the different types of electric radiators, they usually fall into two categories; oil filled or dry elements.

Oil filled radiators typically use a specialised heat transfer oil, or a water and glycol mix that circulates inside the radiator to heat up, Because this fluid retains heat well, the radiator will carry on emitting heat even after the elements turned off. 

In comparison, dry electric radiators utilise an electric element or a ceramic core to provide rapid heat up times as they are not relying on any liquid to be heated and this leads to another benefit to dry electric radiators being completely leak free as there’s no liquid

Automatic, Programmable, Smart and Remotely Manage Your Electric Radiators

The true efficiency from modern electric radiators is within their precise controls and automation. Unlike older models that offer simple on/off switches, these electric radiators feature highly accurate programmable thermostats, that allow you to set specific 24/7 heating schedules. Ensuring your heating only operates when you’re actually in the room, significantly reducing. Many of the radiators we sell have smart features included such as Wi-FI / app connectivity, which let’s you manage your radiator from your phone, no matter where you are. 

Choose The Right Syle and Heat Output

Modern electric radiators are no longer limited to the standard basic design of traditional central heating radiators. They now come in a vast range of styles to suit ay interior, whether you’re looking at an electric column radiator, or a contemporary electric vertical radiator. 

Use Our Watt Calculator To Find The Perfect Electric Radiator 

To ensure your home is being warmed effectively, it’s vital to choose the correct size based on the requirements of the room. To help guide your decision we’ve get a free to use Watt Calculator that will tell you the watt requirement of your rooms and give you a list of suitable electric radiators. 

*If your calculated wattage requirement falls between two sizes, then it is always recommended to round up to the next available wattage. This ensures the radiator can comfortably maintain your ambient temperature without running constantly at its maximum capacity, which helps to preserve the lifespan of the electric radiator. 

Simple Installation and Technical Safety 

One of the most cost-effective aspects of modern electric heating is the simplicity of its installation, which removes the need for invasive plumbing or pipework. Many of our models are designed for a “plug and go” installation, meaning they can be mounted to the wall and plugged into a standard 13 amp-socket for use straight away. 

For a more discreet installation, or for specific areas such as bathrooms, electric radiators can be hardwired into a fused fixed spur by a professional electrician.
