Conservatories are beautiful spaces that allow you to enjoy your garden whilst being sheltered from the elements. Managing a comfortable temperature in a conservatory can be a challenge, especially during the colder months. ELKATHERM® electric radiators offer a convenient and efficient solution to keep your conservatory warm and cosy, all year round.

Can you put heating in a conservatory?

Yes, you can definitely install heating in a conservatory. ELKATHERM® electric radiators are particularly well-suited for conservatories, with a huge range of shapes, sizes, colours and controls available. The SN and SK series are perfect for fitting underneath oversized windows, where wall space is limited. Whether you have a new conservatory or are looking to retrofit heating into an existing space, there are plenty of options to suit your needs.

Choosing the best heating system for a conservatory

When selecting a heating system for your conservatory, it’s important to consider factors such as the size of the space and the insulation. We carry out a free home survey, where one of our surveyors will measure the room, check the insulation and discuss your unique heating requirements. Using this information, we will advise on what size and power output of radiator will heat your space perfectly.

Adding insulation to your conservatory is vital when creating a comfortable and energy-efficient home. If your conservatory has single glazed windows, consider upgrading to double glazing, which provides better insulation by trapping a later of air between two panes of glass, reducing heat loss. If your conservatory has a glass or polycarbonate roof, adding insulated roof panels can further improve the thermal efficiency and reduce heat loss. Sealing any gaps around windows, doors and any other openings with draught excluders or weather stripping to prevent cold air from entering, and warm air from escaping.

Incorporating good insulation measures along with an ELKATHERM® efficient heating system can help you create a comfortable and energy-efficient environment in your conservatory, allowing you to enjoy it year-round regardless of the weather outside.
