9 benefits of electric radiators 

There are many reasons why electric radiators make such a great heating solution. They offer a range of benefits including convenient control, zoned heating, and easy installation, but that’s not all they have to offer. We’re looking at the many benefits of electric radiators to find out exactly what makes them such an ideal solution for heating your home.

​

1. They provide effective warmth

One of the main benefits of electric radiators is the effectiveness of the warmth they produce. As soon as you switch them on, they heat the surrounding air, providing responsive warmth that quickly brings the room up to your preferred temperature. A third of their warmth is also produced as radiant heat which is easily absorbed by the surfaces in your room, supplying a level of heat that can be felt even after the radiator has stopped drawing power from the wall. Electric radiators strike the ideal balance between quick results and energy-efficient heating for cost-effective warmth you can always rely on.

​

2. They offer 100% efficiency

Electric radiators convert every watt of electricity they draw from the wall into usable heat, making them 100% efficient at the point of use. This means nothing is wasted, saving you energy as well as reducing running costs. 

​

3. Accurate temperature control

Our electric radiators come with digital thermostats which provide more precise readings. There is very little temperature fluctuation, so you don’t have to keep adjusting your heating in order to feel comfortable as the thermostat will remain within a fraction of your set temperature. The more accurate your thermostat is, the more efficient your heating will be which is why purchasing an electric radiator with a precise thermostat is so important.

​

4. Zoned heating

Radiators fitted with built-in thermostats allow you to manage your heating on an individual basis so that you can effectively create different heating zones throughout your property. For example, you might have the heating on for longer in your living room compared to other parts of your home. By zoning your heating on a room-by-room basis, you can program a unique schedule and temperature setting for your living room, then a separate one for your bedroom or bathroom, and so on until every room in your home reflects your needs. This way you don’t end up wasting energy heating unused spaces, which increases efficiency in your home and helps to trim down running costs.

​

5. Installation is easy

When it comes to electric radiators, you don’t have the hassle of extending your existing pipework or fitting a boiler, making them super easy to install. It’s so simple in fact that you can even do it yourself. DIY installation doesn’t cost a thing and is a much faster way of getting your heating up and running, which is ideal if time is of the essence – for example if you have to get the guest bedroom ready at short notice. Alternatively, if you want to upgrade your entire heating system, you can opt for hardwired installation. This will allow for more seamless integration into your home, giving a cleaner look to your radiators and freeing up plug socket space. Either way, you’ll be enjoying the comfortable warmth electric radiators have to offer in no time at all.

​

6. No callouts are needed

There’s no need for any annual callouts or system checks, which can save a lot of time and money in the long run. It means no more waiting around for the gas engineer to come out and check the boiler or paying for any servicing fees. Plus, electric radiators are pretty much maintenance-free, so they only really need the occasional dusting every now and then to keep them in tip-top condition.

​

7. No carbon monoxide risks

Electric radiators are incredibly safe too, especially in comparison to other heating solutions such as gas. The main reason for this is because they use electricity to draw power instead of burning fuel, which means there is no risk of a carbon monoxide leak.

​

8. Better heat management

Convenience is key when it comes to managing your heating, which is why many of our products come with a range of control features. 

24/7 programming: lets you set up a heating schedule to match your routine.
Adaptive start: preheats your home ahead of your set schedule.
Anti-frost mode: switches your heater on when temperatures drop below a certain level, to prevent your pipes from freezing.
Open window detection: senses any sudden drop in temperature and switches your radiator off until a more stable temperature is reached.

These intuitive features make controlling your radiators easier than ever and allow you to personalize your heating so that it fits your lifestyle

9. You can control your heating from your phone

We use our smartphones for everything these days, but did you know you can also use them to manage your heating? By purchasing a smart electric radiator and downloading a compatible app onto your phone, you can adjust your heating from the palm of your hand, without getting up from your chair. In the case of WiFi control, you can even manage your heating on the go, so that no matter where you are in the world, whether you’re at the office or on holiday, you can still remain in charge of your heating. In some cases, programming your radiators through an app also allows you access to other features such as voice control, energy usage statistics, and 24/7 programming for the most intuitive control over your heating.
