Modern, fully programmable, energy efficient electric radiators that will save you money while reducing your impact on the environment.
Electric radiators are a convenient and environmentally-friendly heating solution for any space. Combining the latest energy-saving technology with sleek modern designs, they are easy to install and utilise an Intelligent Control System to precisely heat each room to the desired temperature.
Electric heating products have moved on a long way since the days of storage heaters and cheap convector heaters, and now boast a broad range of advantages over gas central heating. Electric radiator heaters are gaining popularity and becoming the first choice for many customers seeking a long-lasting, energy-efficient heating solution.
Essentially there are three types of electric radiator to consider: Oil filled, Ceramic and Dry Technology. Oil filled and Ceramic Core radiators will retention heat energy which means they will deliver heat for up to 30 minutes after the radiator has switched off. Dry Technology electric radiators are ideal for heating room quickly and will deliver the perfect blend of Convection and Radiant heat.

Are you fed up with rising bills for inefficient central heating? Are you tired of your old storage heaters? Is your cheap space heater just not cutting it?
Are you spending too much on heating your home? Do you dread the winter months and the prospect of another huge energy bill? Do you want to save money, have more control and help the environment?
If you’re concerned that your radiators are inefficient and costing you a fortune, you’re not alone. Traditional heating solutions are a major contributor to global warming, as well as being expensive for homeowners, unreliable and subject to breakdown at the most inconvenient times. Fixing a broken boiler sometimes takes weeks, only for the problem to recur. And the environmental cost of gas heating means that it may become obsolete in the foreseeable future.
A 2019 report by the Committee on Climate Change recommended that no new homes should be connected to the gas grid after 2025 due to harmful effects on the environment.
But historically, the alternatives have been ugly, old-fashioned and simply not up to the job.
Storage heaters – the 1970s’ answer to electric heating – can be really frustrating to use. While they may claim to save you money by only consuming power at night time, the reality is that you have little control over the amount of heat they provide. Energy must be stored up at night for use in the day times, so you have to predict in advance whether or not you’ll want heating the next day. In winter, you risk running out of heat, and in summer there’s no way of warming up your home if it’s unexpectedly chilly.
Cheap electric convector heaters are equally problematic, typically using a lot of electricity to heat a very small area. Often they rely on 100% convection heat, providing a short ‘blast’ of heat but not the kind of comfortable warmth that makes a house feel homely. On top of this, many space heaters have a noisy element which clicks throughout usage, making them unsuitable for bedrooms or other quiet spaces.
For a long time electric heating was a poor substitute for gas – but that’s all changed with the development of the modern electric radiator.
When building an extension, refurbishing a space or designing your own home, you’ll want a heating method that offers comfort and efficiency as well as being pleasing to the eye. You may be extending into an area that can’t be served by gas heating, or you might want the convenience of being able to control your new radiators independently of any existing system. Electric radiators can offer all these benefits and more.
If you’re looking for an energy-efficient heating solution that is simple to install, with a sleek, modern appearance, look no further than a modern electric radiator.
Electric radiators come in a range of sizes from just 45cm to 110cm wide, with a single large heater capable of heating a space up to 21m2. They can be combined in larger spaces, side by side or separately to fit the wall space and the room layout. By combining large and small radiators you can achieve exactly the required coverage to heat your room without wastage. Electric heaters are extremely thin (from 5.1cm) and available in light or dark colours, allowing them to blend into your space as part of an attractive interior design.
Modern electric radiators are also fully programmable with Intelligent Control Systems for maximum efficiency and comfort. Each radiator has its own digital thermostat and is individually controlled, allowing you to heat different rooms at different times with ease. You can set bedroom radiators to come on just before you wake, and get your living room to a cosy temperature for the evening. If you’re working from home you can heat your home or garden office on its own, without wasting energy heating an empty house.
Installing new radiators might sound like a difficult job, but with electric radiators it needn’t be. They are lightweight and easy to move by yourself, with even the largest radiator weighing only 10.5kg. They’re powered by your mains electricity with no special ‘plumbing in’ required, and can be wall-mounted in minutes using basic DIY tools and the instructions supplied. If you prefer a freestanding radiator, feet are available which will allow your radiator to be used in any position or moved around.
Whether you are replacing your old central heating, or seeking a long-lasting solution for an extension or new build, you’ll find electric radiators a hassle-free, affordable and environmentally responsible way to bring comfort and style to your space.
We’ve compiled some of the most common questions about electric radiators into a handy guide, to help you understand the key benefits as well as how to choose the best radiator for your needs, how to install it and the likely running costs.
Electric radiators are a form of modern electric heating that provides high quality heat efficiently. They work by using electricity to heat either a dry aluminum, oil-filled or ceramic core.
Electric radiators offer a wide range of advantages over traditional gas heating, including:
* towels should not be placed directly onto an electric radiator. See our range of Electric Towel Rails for this purpose.
Yes! Electric heaters can be wall-mounted like a traditional radiator but without the need for ‘plumbing in’, so they are really simple to install. Our radiators come with wall brackets, fixing templates and power cables that plug straight into your mains electricity supply using a three-pin plug, so your radiator can go from box to wall in just a few minutes. (Alternatively, the radiator can be wired in).
To identify the best electric radiator for your needs, you should consider:
A wide range of energy-saving and attractively finished electric radiators are now available, including dry, oil or ceramic-filled heaters in a range of colours and sizes. The latest electric heaters such as the Slimline Curve use intelligent heat management technology and easy-access digital controls to ensure that heating your home is both convenient and efficient.
Once you’ve decided to purchase an electric radiator, it’s important to work out how big your heater will need to be. So how do you calculate the amount of heat an electric radiator will generate? Our Radiator Size calculator (available on each product page) takes into account the size and function of your space and the existing insulation, and recommends the best electric radiator for the job. Our recommendation is based on many years’ experience of supplying electric heaters for use in bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms of all sizes. For narrow spaces such as hallways, the Slimline Curve is ideal; it is the UK’s slimmest radiator at just 51mm.
Electric heaters are extremely cost efficient and benefit from very low running costs. A 600Watt Electric Radiator can keep a room warm for only 1-2p per hour, thanks to its Intelligent Control system which monitors the heat in the room and switches off when the desired temperature is reached. Unlike a typical thermostat, which controls a whole heating system from one central point (often a draughty hallway), electric radiators have their own built-in digital sensors so they can be individually controlled, heating each room as required for maximum efficiency – great for the environment and your finances.
These two terms are often used interchangeably. The term electric heaters has been around for longer and previously only referred to old-fashioned space heaters whereas now it includes modern radiators. Electric radiators is a newer term the refers mainly to modern, smart/programmable radiators. Both are forms of home heating.
Electric heating is a modern form of home heating. It is a greener alternative to gas central heating and is the preferred heating solution to help reduce our impact on the environment.
There are many electric heating solutions but we feel electric radiators, towel rails and water heaters are the most cost effective to install and run.
Electric panel heaters are often cheap heaters that attach to a wall like a radiator but offer only heat by convection.
Electric radiators provide both convection and radiant heat which makes them much more cost efficient to run while providing a much better feeling of warmth.
The simple answer is ‘yes’ – our electric radiators are extremely efficient. They’re fitted with intelligent thermostats that monitor room temperature, and only use the amount of energy needed to heat your room. As soon as the desired temperature is reached, the heat output is lowered so you’re never wasting energy.
Again, we can answer this question with a resounding ‘yes’. Because they’re so efficient, our electric radiators can save you up to 50% on your heating bill when compared with traditional central heating.
The average cost of installing traditional central heating into a 3-bed house is £3000-£4000, and when you compare that to our radiators which start from £219 each, you can already see there’s a huge cost saving to be made. The great thing is that electric radiators can be fitted with some basic DIY skills, so you don’t even have to hire an expensive plumber or builder to do the work. If you’re not quite ready to switch your whole home from traditional heating to electric, it’s still a great choice for extensions and loft conversions.
Our radiator calculator is designed to help you choose the right size and type of radiator for your room. For example, if you have a 10m2 room with decent insulation, you’ll need a 1000W radiator. If your recommended heat output is in between two sizes we generally recommend you go for the larger size radiator, as this means there’ll be less strain on it when heating your room. Remember that they lower their output when the desired temperature is reached, so a larger radiator doesn’t mean larger heating bills.

The Comfort Control electric radiator is for those who would like their radiator to retain energy like a traditional gas or oil central heating radiator, without the need for a gas supply or specialist installation. These radiators can be filled with either oil or ceramics, which heat up and retain heat even after the radiator has been switched off.
Oil-filled heaters run off your normal electricity supply, but the oil retains heat which in turn transfers thermal energy to the room for a while after being switched off or unplugged.
Ceramic-filled heaters work in the same way but offer a greener solution as ceramics retain heat for longer, and can be recycled more easily than some oils.
