The Understated Value of Electric Radiators

Designer radiators are taking over our households. And with good reason too: with nearly all other elements of a modern room receiving closely-considered design treatment, radiators can no longer afford to skimp on design. Today’s homeowners want a room to bear a congruent style, something that inspires and relaxes in equal measure.

Though traditional radiators are reliable defaults to the problem of interior heating, it’s hard to deny that they can be difficult to set up, and may require temperamental pipe routing – not to mention a painstaking balancing process.

Given the nature of classic radiator installation, then, it would be difficult to find a more convenient radiator than an electric one. Firstly, electric radiators are 100% energy efficient, which means that all electrical energy used converts directly into heat for your room.

Unlike a boiler controlled by central heating, this radiator configuration wastes no energy before it’s released from your radiator. They’re also easier to set up than traditional radiators. You can place them almost anywhere and turn them on; there are no pipes to set up, no balancing to concern yourself with, and none of the inevitable consequential stress.

Perhaps with these undeniable conveniences in mind we’ll see more of these types of radiators flood radiator retailers. With designer radiators taking up a growing region of the domestic heating market, we may see consumers seeking even further convenience with their purchases. A product that; foregoes the preparation and installation process, is attractive aesthetically, works as intended, and is operable straight out of the box; may be the next logical step to take.

Another thing worth taking into account is the increased relevance of global warming in today’s world. With traditional radiators accounting for a significant amount of atmospheric carbon release, these electric alternatives are going to appear even more attractive to those shopping for radiators which also achieve a smaller carbon footprint.

Electric heaters are undeniably forward-looking: they run equally well by harnessing sustainable fuel sources, rather than their gas-powered counterparts, which are expensive to run and damaging to the environment. Fossil fuels are becoming scarcer – this is no longer a point of contention in the energy world. Renewable energy is beginning to dominate global energy sectors, with many governments taking little delay in passing the appropriate energy use reduction laws.

It would be premature to underestimate how valuable this consideration will become in nearing years. Planet-friendly brands are already reshaping consumer habits and culture; coffee cups are often completely recyclable, cars are running on cleaner or totally renewable fuels, clothes are used and re-used, and cycling to work is all too often touted as a better transport solution.

What’s more is that these changes are advertised wherever they’re found. Edibles will almost always market themselves based on their planet-conscious approach. It has become a cultural matter of pride to produce and consume sustainably, and it’s only a matter of time until this trend permeates the housing infrastructure market.

Depending on their impending effect on traditional radiator setups, it could be a welcome change.

Electric radiators are available in a wide range of world-class designs at Designer Radiators Direct. They’re best paired with a thermostat, as this extra element gives you even greater control over your comfort and wellbeing – choose the exact temperature you would like, sit back, and enjoy the warmth. Installing a thermostat remains a much more convenient process than installing a house gas network.
