German Electric Radiators

Comfort Levels

Comfort is the most noticeable everyday factor with any heating appliance, and the Economiser offers it in abundance. The “EHD” (or Enhanced Heat Distribution) is integral to the deeply ridged design, offering a maximised surface area of eight times that of a flat panel. Essentially what you have is a hugely increased level of radiant heat output – making more of your room more comfortable. The interior of those flutes is quite a bit wider than we’ve seen in other models. It promotes an optimal flow of warm air into the room. As dense cool air falls to the floor, the flutes draw it in, and expel it through the top.

The Economiser is weightier that many other electric radiators, but the materials used to produce the comfort levels on offer here are pretty substantial. The thermal mass gives a heating effect that’s better even than a conventional boiler-fired wet system. That said, all models are still supported adequately on a wall with the supplied brackets. No additional feet are required. The combination of radiant and naturally (non-fan assisted) convected warmth is one aspect that really sets the Economiser apart.

Control

The controls are still mounted inconspicuously on the end of the radiator, so it still looks very much like a traditional radiator. Unobtrusive – just as it should be. There’s a big change though. The display is now a large, clear TFT affair. Controls are now taken care of with a simple touch pad interface. Navigating the icon-driven menus is so simple and intuitive that a user manual is unlikely to be required.

For those needing something even more simple, the temperature can just be changed as and when required with the plus and minus keys.

Functions

Full 24/7 digital programming remains in the 2019 model, but is made more simple and visual. Setting the radiator into programming mode takes just a couple of moves on the touchpad.

There are the various new energy-saving functions present. Most impressive of all (to us) is the Adaptive Start function. It anticipates how long your space will take to warm-up based on ambient temperatures and previous heating cycles, and begin heating in advance of your start time. In layman’s terms, you don’t need to guess how long your room might take to heat-up, or adjust your start times seasonally. Your room will be at your desired temperature at your chosen start time. No more coming home to a cold house. No more leaving just as it’s warmed-up.

The Open Window sensor is on hand to prevent any wasted energy, should a window be opened during the heating cycle, and there are plenty more options beside. We’ve detailed some of the other features below.

Warranty

Economiser Electric Radiators are supported by a 30-year warranty period which covers the body of the radiator, the core, and the heating elements.

During this time period we undertake to replace the radiator, should it become defective as a result of a manufacturing fault. Electronic controls are covered by a 2-year warranty period. They are interchangeable so can be quickly and easily replaced without special tools. Electronic controls can be supplied outside of the warranty period at cost-price.

For full details of warranties please see Terms and Conditions.

Delivery

As with any larger high-value electrical appliance, quality electric radiators should never travel loose through mail depots and courier vans.  Damages through the parcel delivery networks are common and unless handled correctly, the lifespan of a heating element can be shortened considerably.

From our warehouse to your door, all EHE radiators are delivered by pallet logistics specialists with tail-lift vehicles. Packaged individually, your radiators are strapped to a wooden pallet and then wrapped in a protective covering to keep them in perfect condition. They cannot be dropped, thrown, or otherwise mistreated.  Where access is restricted, we can use smaller vehicles.
