Electric radiators have become increasingly popular for their numerous advantages, such as straightforward installation, precise temperature control, and lower maintenance requirements. With a variety of options available in the market, it’s essential to choose an electric radiator that meets your specific needs and complements your interior design.
In this blog, we will explore each of these factors in detail, providing helpful tips and recommendations so that you can make an informed decision when choosing the perfect electric radiator for your home.
When selecting an electric radiator, it is crucial to ensure that it has the necessary heating output to efficiently warm your space. Begin by calculating the size of the room in square metres, and consider your home’s insulation level. A properly insulated home will require less heating output, while a poorly insulated home will need more powerful radiators.
The Electric Heating Company provides you with a heating calculator, which can help you determine the required heating output for your room. However, it is always advisable to consult us for a more tailored assessment.
Keep in mind that selecting a radiator with insufficient output will make it work harder to reach the desired temperature, thereby reducing its efficiency and increasing your energy bills. On the other hand, a radiator with excessive output may cause overheating and result in wasted energy and higher costs.
Energy efficiency is a crucial factor in selecting an electric radiator, as it directly impacts your energy bills and carbon footprint. The Electric Heating Company radiators come with advanced energy-saving features, such as built-in digital programmers that allow you to set custom heating schedules and optimise energy usage.
Another useful feature that our radiators feature is open window detection, which can detect a sudden drop in temperature due to an open window and temporarily pause the radiator’s heating until the window is closed. Adaptive start functions can learn your preferred room temperature and start heating the room in advance, ensuring an optimal environment when you need it.
Selecting an electric radiator with these smart features can enhance your home’s comfort, increase efficiency, and ultimately lead to substantial energy savings.
Before purchasing an electric radiator, consider the aesthetics of your space, and choose a model that complements your home’s style. Electric radiators come in various designs, including traditional column-style radiators, sleek panel heaters, and more contemporary towel rails – ensuring there is a suitable option available for every room and décor.
Assess the available wall space in your room and bear in mind the dimensions of the radiator when choosing. Some models are designed for compact spaces, while others may have more extensive dimensions but a thinner profile. Also, consider the colour and finish of the radiator to ensure it matches or complements other elements in the room. The Electric Heating Company DSR Heat Retention Radiators can be ordered in any RAL colour.
By selecting a stylish and innovative electric radiator, you can improve both the comfort and visual appeal of your home.
Budget is another essential factor when choosing an electric radiator, but it’s crucial to strike a balance between upfront costs and long-term savings. Investing in a top-quality, energy-efficient radiator with advanced heating features may cost more initially, but it can result in significant savings in the long run due to reduced energy consumption.
It’s also wise to pay attention to any warranty periods or guarantees provided by the manufacturer, as these can offer additional peace of mind and protection for your investment. This is why our radiators come with an extensive warranty. Remember that electric radiators typically require less maintenance than gas or oil-based heating systems.
Choosing the right electric radiator for your home requires careful consideration of several factors, including heating output, energy efficiency, design, and budget. By taking the time to assess your specific needs and preferences, you can select a radiator that not only efficiently heats your home but also enhances its visual appeal and comfort. Remember to consult us to ensure that you make an informed decision and enjoy optimal performance and energy savings in the long run.
