Traditionally, heating systems have not been an aesthetic choice for our homes. In the past, central heating radiators have been disguised with fancy wooden covers, painted, or hidden away in an attempt to lessen their visual burden. In recent years however, everything in our homes seems to be manufactured with style in mind – including our heating systems. The electric radiator, free from the shackles of plumbing, can be styled in almost any way – featuring bold colours, unique shapes, and eye-catching designs. For the truly style-conscious home, there’s an electric radiator to suit every space…

Whether you have a garden office, shed, or summerhouse, there’s nothing like escaping into the garden on a hot summer’s day – sunglasses on, feet up, drink in hand. Unfortunately, in the UK at least, these outdoor spaces are strictly a summer indulgence. For the remainder of the year, these annexes are claimed by the cold and become nothing more than glorified garden storage: a place for kids’ toys, bikes, and cobwebs. To make the most of your summerhouse, and to ensure it sees plenty of use throughout the cooler months, it’s time to consider an appropriate heating system. For quick, low-cost, hassle-free heating, look no further than our range of electric heaters.

Cumbersome, unsightly, and inherently inefficient, storage heaters are a product of the past: a time when electric radiators were in their infancy and several leagues away from the ultra-slim, ultra-efficient products on the market today. Despite the overwhelming number of alternatives available, storage heaters continue to thrive, with multiple brands and models in use today. If you own a storage heater, or were considering buying one under the promise of cheap daytime heating, it might be best to read on and consider some superior 21^st century alternatives.
