Electricity is becoming an increasingly low carbon form of heating, as we continue to replace gas and coal power stations with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. In the future, it is expected that carbon emissions from electricity will continue to drop, and that electricity will become a very low carbon source of energy and heat.
Electric radiators are considered to be 100% efficient, as almost all the electricity used to power them is converted into heat energy. This gives us more factors to consider when comparing the energy efficiency of electric radiators.
Individual thermostatic controls, running costs and additional features such as open window detection are all important factors to consider when choosing your electric radiators.
The programmability of electric radiators can make a huge difference on their energy efficiency. Radiator programming ranges between basic timers, which simply switch the heaters on or off after a certain time, to fully customisable 24/7 programmers which allow you to set a heating schedule for each room. Some radiators can even be controlled remotely from anywhere in the world via smartphone app.
Another useful feature is open window detection. Some electric radiators can automatically detect a decrease in room temperature and switch themselves off as a result, ensuring you aren’t wasting energy and money.
Some electric radiators also offer adaptive start technology. This takes the guesswork out of programming your radiators, as it ensures the ambient room temperature is already heated by the time you set it to.
Finally, check the radiator’s IP rating. IP, or Ingress Protection Marking, is classification standard which rates the degree of protection from intrusion. For example, a radiator with a rating of IPX1 would only be protected against dripping water, and therefore not suitable for use in a standard bathroom.
ELKATHERM® electric radiators lead the way in quality German engineering. Boasting a host of features that help you maximise efficiency and minimise wastage, ELKATHERM® electric radiators are designed to keep energy bills down without sacrificing on your home comfort. You may see other ceramic core heaters on the market that look similar, but it’s what’s inside that counts. ELKATHERM® electric radiators use a super dense ceramic fireclay core, into which the element is directly embedded. This means no air gaps or moisture can penetrate to cause corrosion. The embedding of the element also gives direct heat transfer for rapid heating of your home.
Fondital eCOOL electric ladder radiators feature thermostatic controls, daily and weekly programming options, and an easy to use remote control, heating both your towels and your bathroom at the same time. There’s a choice of four sizes of electric bathroom radiators so you can find your perfect fit and at only 45mm deep, these towel radiators are stylish and unobtrusive – the ideal finishing touch for any bathroom. Make sure there’s always a warm towel ready to use with Fondital.

ELKATHERM® electric radiators are A++ energy rated. They stay warm for hours with minimal additional power, meaning more warmth for your money and greater control than traditional storage heating. ELKATHERM® electric radiators use a massive five times surface area to provide superior radiated heat and spread convected warmth around the room, ensuring you aren’t left with cold spots. There’s no need for a noisy fan, so you won’t get uncomfortable dry air associated with other forms of electric heating. Once your ELKATHERM® electric radiator is up to temperature, it will typically draw between 15 and 17 minutes of electricity per hour to top up the core and maintain your cosy home. You can control each room individually, selecting the times and temperatures to best suit your lifestyle, and ensuring you don’t waste heat in rooms you aren’t using. We offer a range of control options, including our latest smartphone app which allows you to control your heating remotely.
Our ELKATHERM® electric radiators also come with a 4-year guarantee for electronic components, and a massive 25-year guarantee for the internal heat core. They are completely VDE approved and LOT20 compliant.
Join the water heating revolution with a Sunamp. Sunamp heat batteries deliver mains pressure hot water on demand with superb efficiency. Packed with modern electric water heating technology, Sunamp heat batteries are ultra compact, need little or no maintenance, and can be charged using an off-peak energy tariff, or divert energy from solar PV, heat pumps or other renewable sources. They are perfect for those conscious about reducing carbon emissions, reducing or eliminating gas usage and controlling energy bills.
With Sunamp you can benefit from either standard or off-peak tariffs to charge your system, or divert energy from solar PV, heat pumps or other renewable sources. Sunamp heat batteries need little or no maintenance, so there’s no need for costly annual servicing or inspections. They don’t hold water like a tank, which vastly reduces the risk of a catastrophic failure.
