On Wednesday 13th November at 8pm, BBC1 will be airing a special Children in Need episode of DIY SOS: The Big Build. This episode will focus on renovating St Silas’s Parish Room of St Silas’s Church in Blackburn with Darwen and turning it into a place for young and vulnerable people to call home. This is in support of local charity Nightsafe who have been offering shelter to young, homeless individuals for almost 30 years. Here at Electric Radiators Direct, we wanted to contribute to this fantastic cause in whatever way we could, so when the show appealed for support from volunteers and tradespeople, we were eager to answer the call. We decided to offer up some of our products to ensure that these young people would remain warm and comfortable in this new accommodation.

Summer is well and truly over, but not to worry, we’ve got a few tips to help you embrace the colder months. With so much to look forward to this time of year it’s best to stay warm so that you can enjoy every second of it. So, get out your big coat and keep that umbrella handy because it’s time to explore the many ways in which you can stay warm this autumn.

As the name implies, oil-free electric radiators do not contain oil, so you don’t have to rely on the fluid inside to warm up before use. These dry thermal radiators are economical, fast-acting and energy-efficient. Like every radiator, they use a combination of radiation and convection to warm the room, but these radiators are designed differently to oil-filled radiators. To help you find the right oil-free radiator, we’re going to explore how they work and the benefits that come with using them.
