What’s Inside?
Whether it’s a ceramic core, a liquid-filled body, or “dry technology” it’s important to understand what’s actually inside an electric radiator. Historically, ceramic core radiators have always been made in Germany, and they’re still widely considered to be the best in this category. In recent years we’ve seen an increase in ceramic electric radiators from other countries. Often, they’re lower in price but in most cases they’re very different in terms of design, quality and performance. Our advice is to look beyond the marketing that pushes the increasingly popular “ceramic electric heating” and consider that a well-designed liquid-filled electric radiator, will always perform better than a badly-designed ceramic one.

Keep it Simple!
Don’t choose your electric radiators based purely on aesthetics, but do considering that you’ll be living with them for a long time. If you want a radiator that won’t look dated, choose plain. Those with “designer”, front-facing buttons, displays, and vents will date fast. Our recommended electric radiators are unobtrusive. Just as conventional wet-system radiators are.
What’s the outer body made from?
The body of a radiator should be made from a high grade aluminium or steel that’s powder-coated (not painted). The outer body’s primary function is not only to look well aesthetically, but to to provide a surface area that allows the internally-produced heat to be dissipated through radiant output. The internal sections of the outer body or “flutes” should aid the flow of warm air (convected heat) into the room.
Warranty
Electric Radiator warranties vary in length. Our radiators are covered by warranty periods of 10 years (Vantage Range) and 30 years (Economiser Range). Within these warranties, the outer casings, coatings, elements, and ceramics are guaranteed free from defect. The electronic components of our radiators are covered by a 2 year warranty and can easily be replaced. A prime consideration in the design of our radiators is longevity. Incorporated into the design of all models is a physical separation between the heating elements and the electronic components, to help prevent break-downs usually associated with over-heating.
Controls and Functionality
Most electric radiators are thermostatically controlled, so can maintain a room temperature by modulating the amount of power used. Extra functions such as 7-day programming are also common. Sometimes just a simple temperature up/down is all that’s needed. Our radiators allow for all of this and much more. Though you may never need them, or even realise that they’re in operation, our radiators are packed with features to help increase your comfort, lower your heating bills, and make your life easier.
Comfort Levels
Most importantly, the heating effect must be as you’d get from a conventional central heating system. A good radiator must produce a comfortable mix of convected and radiated warmth. The heat-retaining fluid and ceramic cores, bodies designed to promote optimal heat distribution, the accurate proportional electronics. Every aspect of our design is centered around optimal comfort.
