Electric radiators move with the times
Electric radiators have been transformed in recent years by advances in technology and design. The bulky, difficult-to-regulate storage heaters of yesteryear have been replaced by slim, efficient, reliable models that are easy to control for fast, affordable warmth.
Easy installation and low maintenance costs are big advantages of electric radiators; along with durability due to them having few moving parts. Another benefit is the flexibility of placement, making them desirable in today’s design-conscious homes. Whether plugged in to a socket or wired in to the circuit, electric radiators can be positioned just about anywhere in a room. And because they need no pipework or a flue, they can be installed without structural alterations – useful in conservation areas.
Electricity is available across the country and radiators can be run on cheap electrical tariffs. The long lifespan of electric radiators and lack of service requirements mean that lifetime costs are extremely competitive compared to other fuels. Running costs are also kept low by the ability to divide a property into heating zones and control each room individually, with heat on demand when needed. Many have thermostatic controls.
