One thing that often deters people from upgrading their home heating system is the disruption it can sometimes cause. Most homes these days have gas boilers and a centralised system which may be difficult to upgrade, whereas those who live in flats or homes powered by electricity might find it a little easier. Either way, installing electric radiators really isn't as difficult as you might think...

Anyone who's shopped around for electric radiators knows that the market is full of various products to choose from. Some of these products might help cut down your energy bills, others might not be the best fit for your home or lifestyle. Electric radiators are booming, becoming the go-to energy efficient heating option of choice for homes and offices across the country - so how do you make sure you're choosing the right one? What's the difference between the various technologies and builds on offer?

Shopping for an alternative to your old central heating system can be tough, especially if you’re new to electric heating systems. At some point, you’ll come across offers such as ‘energy-efficient electric radiators from £199.99’. On the other hand, you’ll see websites advertising electric heaters for as little as £99. They may not be ‘energy efficient heaters’, but you can’t turn a blind eye to the fact, that they are available for almost half of the price of electric radiators. So, what’s the catch?

Are you interested in an electric radiator, but worried it won’t match your vintage living room or Victorian-style kitchen? It’s a perfectly valid reason to be worried. But can you enjoy the benefits of electric heating whilst keeping the harmony in your living spaces? Let’s find out! 

At Electric Radiators Direct, we truly believe that electric heating is the future. Our parents and grandparents might remember the days when electric heating was an expensive alternative to central gas heating, which might’ve been true at the time. Nowadays, electric radiators leave their competition behind when it comes to programmability, instalment and freedom of choice. So, what makes us believe that making a transition to electricity will be your best decision?

Electric radiators are without doubt the best primary heating solution available on the market thanks to their innovative and economical energy saving features. However, some rooms can benefit from an electric heater. Whilst a radiator should serve as your primary source of heating, an electric panel heater does a great job at delivering on-demand heat. It is also a great alternative for rooms you use infrequently, such as guest bedrooms or conservatories. 

I’m sure we all share that mutual feeling of coming home from work, ridiculously tired, swearing at the cold wind and fantasizing about our warm and cosy beds, only to find out that our house… is even colder than the outdoors. This leads us to some drastic decisions and important questions such as ‘will turning my thermostat up really high make my house warm up faster?’.

Winter can be a lovely time. All the snowball fights, decorations, festivals, snowman building with friends and of course our beloved Christmas. But it can also be a dangerous season. We are either the ones constantly nagging about or dismissing the idea of dressing up warmly before going outside. Although it is true that British winter is not as harsh as it is towards east, for example in Germany, it shouldn’t be taken lightly, yet most of us still assume the worst case scenario is getting a cold. However, the actual risk to our health posed by the cold is much more serious.
