Offices can be costly to keep warm, particularly over the colder winter months. With energy costs seemingly constantly on the rise, it’s more important than ever for businesses to take control of their energy bills, whilst also keeping the office at a comfortable working temperature.
Electric radiators and heating is the best solution for commercial office environments, and feature many benefits including easy installation, silent operation and optimum controllability. There are some additional important factors to consider when choosing a new office heating system.
Choosing the correct positioning for your electric radiators is vital in ensuring maximum comfort and minimal heat loss. Having desks, chairs and other office furniture pressed up against radiators will block the flow of warm air into the room - wasting money and heat. Repositioning office furniture so that it is at least a few inches away from any radiators will help save you money and keep your office cosy and warm.
The size of your office will massively impact the size of your required radiator. A smaller, lower power heater will struggle to heat a large room effectively, resulting in a chilly office and energy wastage. An oversized radiator will heat the room, however can be more costly to run, wasting money and energy.

ELKATHERM® electric radiators produce heat by both convection and radiation, to provide long-lasting, comfortable warmth.
Radiant heat doesn’t use the air to transfer warmth, instead it heats objects directly. Once the surfaces of these objects are warm, they radiate the heat to other objects around the room.
Convection heating works by heating the air. Once the air in the room is warm, the heat is transferred to people in the room. These two types of heating work together seamlessly to create the perfect office temperature.
ELKATHERM® electric radiators are available in a range of power outputs from 0.5kW to 3.0kW. There’s a size, shape, power output and even colour to suit every office.

Ambient temperature in the workplace can have a massive impact on employee productivity. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) advise that the minimum temperature in an indoor workplace should usually be at least 16°C.
Cold offices can be unpleasant for employees and visitors alike. Studies have shown that 53% of employees are less productive in a cold workplace. A study by Cornell University confirmed that workers are more prone to making errors in colder environments. A cold working environment can be detrimental to your business.
Offices that are too hot are also disadvantageous. Viruses, germs and other contaminants thrive in too warm, indoor environments. This can result in employee illness, meaning higher rates of absenteeism. Environments that are too hot can also make employees sluggish and irritable.
Finding a happy medium is vital for employee wellbeing and productivity. HeatElectric’s ELKATHERM® radiators offer zone control, precise temperature management and detailed programming options to help you to create and maintain an optimal indoor temperature.
