HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON HEATING BILLS & STAY WARM THIS WINTER! Energy Efficient Electric Radiators!

[@virgutew]

Made me smile to see that at 0:40 your own offices are heated with traditional waterfilled radiators.

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

Yes, sadly our rented office space was already kitted out with traditional water filled rads....😆

[@plaksini]

Would I be able to dry my laundry on them or is that option still not available on electric radiators?

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

I'm afraid it is not recommended to cover electric radiators as this will prevent normal airflow out of the top grill and can reduce the life span of the heater.

[@plaksini]

@@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk Thank you for your reply but the question is: Is it prohibited? Like on the electric heater " Do not cover" sign or will it be safe? Thank You!

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

@@plaksini There is a do not cover sign on the radiator so it will not be safe.

[@lapub.]

@@plaksini If you put clothes on any electric radiator, the temperature will increase as the energy could not dissipate. If you're lucky the thermal overheat protection will trigger, if you're quite lucky, it will trigger and as some are "one time trigger" you'll have to trash your heater, and if you're not lucky it will set a fire. The is only one radiator that can be covered as they are designed for this purpose and it's the towel dryer, the fluid temperature is monitored and will cut the heat even if the room is cold. It was a thing with plain old water/steam heater as the heat is made elsewhere and is carried by a fluid. If you put clothes on theses, the fluid will simply not cool with no harm.

Hi, I live in a rental condo, can this be installed in my unit?

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

Sure! Where are you located?

[@fletch7857]

Can you cover more info on the running cost and difference in economy's of different types of electric radiators

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

We will be creating another video on precisely this subject. As a ball park (and a way to calculate the running costs) our electric radiators will draw electricity 25% of the time to maintain a set target room temperature. This means that running cost calculations should be based on 25% of the cost per kWh. For example, our 2000w electric radiator running on a tariff of 30pence per kWh will cost 2x30/4 = 15 pence per hour. The initial warm up phase will always cost the most however the Slimline Curve featured in the video will heat a room within 10-15 minutes! It is also important to note that even though electricity converts to heat energy 100% (based on the laws of physics), this does not mean that the running costs from one electric heater/radiator to another will be the same. The running costs are determined by the heat management technology (i.e. how the heater delivers the set temperature). Our electric radiators include multiple advanced energy saving technology to help minimise wastage and help reduce running costs. Please contact us directly for more information on [e-mail]

[@lapub.]

Any electric radiator performance is 100% 1Kw of electricity will result in 1kw of heat even the crapiest one. So no need for expensive ones with "inertia" oil or heavy cast iron inside, nowadays you can find cheap ones with electronic thermosat that will just dimm the heat to avoid the hot/cold cycle that exist with mechanical thermostat.

How does one erase the bespoke settings on one if the U programs. I set a program on U1 and i need to replace the time phases. Do i just go through bespoke U1 setup again Or Do i need to factory reset the radiator? Thanks

Has anyone considered that the current price (KW/h) for electricity is three times more than for gas?

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

Traditional heating solutions such as gas central heating operate in a very different way to electric radiators therefore they are significantly less wasteful. ● A GCH system heats up a large volume of water and circulates the water around pipework to each radiator whereas electric radiators delivery the heat directly from the source. ● Electric radiators are 100% efficient and thermostatically controlled within each room whereas a GCH system has a central thermostat often in the hallway or landing. This all means that individual rooms such as a living room can be heated exclusively therefore eliminating wastage. The rooms in a typical 2 or 3 bed property can be heated precisely when you require the heat as each radiator is fully programmable. Alternatively you can simply turn the radiator on or off manually giving you complete control. They also include the following energy saving technologies which contribute to reduce heating bills: ● Open window technology which will detect when a window or door is left open and will reduce the power output to reduce wastage ● Predictive heat up technology which will commence the heating process earlier so that the room temperature is achieved precisely when required. ● Intelligent temperature control which will prevent the radiator from over-shooting the target temperature. The radiator will reduce the output before it reaches the set target temperature. ● Manufactured with aluminium which is the best material for fast conductivity of heat into a room ● Wifi controlled option which will allow the user to control each individual room temperature away from the property. For example, if you only want heating in 1 or 2 rooms prior to arriving back home. GCH radiators can be turned down or off using thermostatic valves however this reduces the efficiency of the heating system. There is also a lag heat up and cool down time whereas a dry thermal electric radiator will delivery heat instantly and heat a room within 5-10 mins. GCH systems require regular maintenance which can cost several hundred pounds per year. There is no maintenance required with an electric radiator. Electricity is here for the foreseeable future and with the government committing to its Net Zero Strategy, it’s important that we all do our part to be less wasteful and reduce our impact on the environment.

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

@@lapub. The laws of physics dictate that 100% of electricity is converted to 100% heat energy however the efficiency (actual cost) of running an electric radiator is determined by the heat management technology in the electronics. Less advanced heaters such as cheap and cheerful fan or convector heaters are not LOT20 compliant so have basic controls and programming features whereas advanced electric radiators are packed with advanced energy saving technology and optional Wifi control to minimise wastage and help reduce running costs. This makes advanced electric radiators suitable for a permanent heating solution whereas cheaper style electric heaters are considered a temporary heating solution. We have received many customer reviews over the past 8 years confirming the low running costs compared inferior electric heaters and Economy 7 electric storage heaters of up to 50%. Switching to a Heat Pump is a contentious subject here in the UK. Sadly a large percentage of UK property stock is not geared for Heat Pumps due to poor insulation. Some home owners report much higher electricity bills and difficulties heating the home to an adequate temperature during the winter. Heat pumps can work for newly constructed well insulated properties (like in Scandinavia) however the costs of the heat pump, installation, maintenance, upgrading pipework and radiators sizes, etc. can result in the pay-back period of up to 40 years.

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

Advanced thermostatic electric radiators draw electricity 25% of the time once they have reached the target room temperature. This means that the running costs will be approximately 1/4 of your calculations. Also, the majority of UK homes only require 1x2000w electric radiator which is usually located in the living room as this is usually the largest room. The rest of the rooms will need smaller output radiators which will be less expensive to run and used less frequently such as bedrooms.

oil filled electric radiators are probably a better choice over electric radiators. I have a property that had awful storage heaters everywhere so I am now looking to switch to infrared heating if I can find the right one's to go for

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

We sell 3 types of electric radiators which pretty much covers the whole of the electric radiator market (Oil, Ceramic and Dry Thermal). Interestingly Oil filled electric radiators are our least popular range because they are big, chunky, heavy and take a while to heat a room. Although it is rare, they also run the risk of leaking over time. The key point to make here is that all our electric radiator ranges whether they are oil, ceramic or dry are all equally energy efficient which means they all cost the same to run. As a result most customers prefer a super slim, lightweight Dry Thermal electric radiator in particular our Slimline Curve range because they are the slimmest electric radiator in the UK (www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/slimline-curve-electric-radiator/). This range always receives the highest TrustPilot rating and is manufactured from 100% high grade aluminum. It is available with Wifi or non-Wifi. As for infrared heating, we have chosen not to sell this type of property because we do not believe it is the future of home heating.

Well electricity is 3 times dearer than gas energy

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

Traditional heating solutions such as gas central heating operate in a very different way to electric radiators therefore they are significantly less wasteful. ● A GCH system heats up a large volume of water and circulates the water around pipework to each radiator whereas electric radiators delivery the heat directly from the source. ● Electric radiators are 100% efficient and thermostatically controlled within each room whereas a GCH system has a central thermostat often in the hallway or landing. This all means that individual rooms such as a living room can be heated exclusively therefore eliminating wastage. The rooms in a typical 2 or 3 bed property can be heated precisely when you require the heat as each radiator is fully programmable. Alternatively you can simply turn the radiator on or off manually giving you complete control. They also include the following energy saving technologies which contribute to reduce heating bills: ● Open window technology which will detect when a window or door is left open and will reduce the power output to reduce wastage ● Predictive heat up technology which will commence the heating process earlier so that the room temperature is achieved precisely when required. ● Intelligent temperature control which will prevent the radiator from over-shooting the target temperature. The radiator will reduce the output before it reaches the set target temperature. ● Manufactured with aluminium which is the best material for fast conductivity of heat into a room ● Wifi controlled option which will allow the user to control each individual room temperature away from the property. For example, if you only want heating in 1 or 2 rooms prior to arriving back home. GCH radiators can be turned down or off using thermostatic valves however this reduces the efficiency of the heating system. There is also a lag heat up and cool down time whereas a dry thermal electric radiator will delivery heat instantly and heat a room within 5-10 mins. GCH systems require regular maintenance which can cost several hundred pounds per year. There is no maintenance required with an electric radiator. Electricity is here for the foreseeable future and with the government committing to its Net Zero Strategy, it’s important that we all do our part to be less wasteful and reduce our impact on the environment.

The standard non-Wifi range of the Slimline Curve electric radiator operates individually from one radiator to another however they are all fully programmable so you can set each radiator to deliver precisely what you want temperature wise, at the time you want it. This level of controllability is not possible with a traditional heating system. The Wifi model will allow you to control each individual radiator from an app and also group radiators together. This means that you can control several radiators at the same time rather than accessing each radiator (you will be able to turn all radiators on with the touch of a single button from your mobile phone or tablet). This decade will be very interesting when it comes to home heating especially when we are unable to install gas and oil central heating boilers. It’s an inevitability that we will have to change the way we heat our homes which we view as similar to the transition similar from the combustion engine to electric vehicles.

@@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk Heat is heat no matter what fancy control you wrap around it. At the end of the day a room/house has a certain heat loss at a given outside temperature and in order to maintain the desired room temperature you need to replace that loss by emitting a certain amount of heat, and that heat will always use the same amount of 100% efficient electric whether it's a fancy £300 radiator or a £30 basic oil filled rad from Argos. The only thing controls can do to help is to prevent overheating the room and wasting power you didn't need to use, but anything with a thermostat can manage that. You may save tiny amounts by better controlling output as the room reaches temperature so there's no residual heat left in the radiator that's not required causing a slight overshoot, but that's going to be a minimal saving as the excess heat wouldn't be wasted, it would just mean the room was slightly warmer than set so the rad wouldn't need to come on again so quickly. Also claiming above that they only run 25% of the time once up to temperature is also a load of rubbish, the amount any emitter has to run to maintain the target temperature will be entirely dependent on how well insulated the room is and therefore how quickly it loses its heat, just the same as with any heating system. With gas less than a third the price of electricity and the average modern boiler at least 80% efficient even when not set up in a particularly efficient way you're still looking at costs to heat by electric well over double that of gas, and please don't spout rubbish trying to justify any cost saving by claiming boilers costing several hundred pounds a year to maintain, an annual service is under £100 and if you're spending several hundreds every year keeping it running then its probably about time it was replaced anyway, but even you had to spend a few hundred quid every single year it would still end up being a significantly cheaper way to heat than electric in all but the smallest, most well insulated homes.

What exactly is "energy efficient" about this product? Energy isn't "wasted" regardless of which type of radiator you use. It's simply converted from one energy to another. Energy is only lost through poor insulation. An electric panel heater only makes sense if you don't have a gas or oil boiler, or if you have solar/wind turbine power. Otherwise, being "energy efficient" room by room can be established easily by balancing the output of each radiator. You don't need aluminium or ceramic rads to achieve this. The easiest way to save money on your heating bill is to not heat bedrooms when not in use. This can be done manually with standard thermostatic valves (just like switching off lights when not in use), or upgrade to digital thermostatic valves, which are a fraction of the cost of a new electric radiator. This infomercial is very misleading.

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

Energy efficient electric radiators are called "Lot20" include multiple energy saving technologies such as open window technology, predictive start technology based on the insulation properties of a room and the average heat up time, technology which prevents overshooting or undershooting of target temperatures, etc. They also have individual digital room thermostats which are monitoring and regulating the precise temperature in each room within 0.1 degree, whereas traditional forms of heating have 1 or 2 thermostats in the entire home which are not accurately measuring individual room temperatures. You can read more here: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/blog/lot-20-ecodesign-compliance/ Electric radiators work in a very different way to gas or oil central heating systems. Gas and oil CHS are wasteful as heating a volume of water and pumping it around pipework to heat 1 or 2 rooms is very inefficient with heat loss under floorboards and walls, boiler exhausts, etc. The efficiency of a gas or oil CHS in a typical home is maximised when all radiators are operating together however the efficiency is reduced when radiators are turned down or off using thermostatic valves. This is not the case with electric heating as 100% of the heat energy converted from electricity is delivered directly into each room. There is zero maintenance with electric radiators and a professional is not required for installation.

@@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk Exactly. More than once you've eluded to examples of poor insulation. Thanks for clarifying and agreeing with me. The features on these electric radiators are what you get with digital smart thermostatic valves, so there's still no benefit to changing to electric heating for the that reason alone. Also, DIY installation as suggested would not be advised. Try ripping out a central heating system and replacing it stock with electric radiators without checking load values at the consumer unit and the cabling throughout the home on a standard ring circuit or worse, an old fuse box. Top tip: have the local fire bridge on standby. While these may be "maintenance free", a standard rad & gas/oil system come with lengthy guarantee periods, sometimes up to 12 years.

We've seen a huge transition over the past 3+ years from homeowners moving away from traditional fuels to heat their home, run their cars, etc. and electricity is here to stay for the long term. It's super clean with no boiler, pipework etc. so for many homeowners its a sensible and viable consideration.

Electric is ridiculously expensive 🤔

Energy efficient electric radiators are called "Lot20" include multiple energy saving technologies such as open window technology, predictive start technology based on the insulation properties of a room and the average heat up time, technology which prevents overshooting or undershooting of target temperatures, etc. They also have individual digital room thermostats which are monitoring and regulating the precise temperature in each room within 0.1 degree, whereas traditional forms of heating have 1 or 2 thermostats in the entire home which are not accurately measuring individual room temperatures. You can read more here: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/blog/lot-20-ecodesign-compliance/ Electric radiators work in a very different way to gas or oil central heating systems. Gas and oil CHS are wasteful as heating a volume of water and pumping it around pipework to heat 1 or 2 rooms is very inefficient with heat loss under floorboards and walls, boiler exhausts, etc.

Awful heat generated by such devices, very unpleasant. Just another WEF initiative to stop the little guy’s access to gas.

We believe you are referring to a panel or fan heater which deliver 100% convection heat which can feel stuffy and can push dust around the room. We sell advanced electric radiators that deliver a blend of convection and radiant heat, which is the best form of heat delivery into a room. We get nothing but praise regarding the 'type' of heat our products emit. You can view genuine customer reviews on our TrustPilot page: uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk

Stay away from electric radiators they spend lot of electricity and does not heat

Any electric radiator performance is 100% 1Kw of electricity will result in 1kw of heat even the crappiest one. So no need for expensive ones with "inertia" oil or heavy cast iron inside, nowadays you can find cheap ones with electronic thermostat that will just dim the heat to avoid the hot/cold cycle that exist with mechanical thermostat. but with well insulated house, go to heat pump (or reversible air conditioning it's the same, price may vary on the way they are marketed)

More and more energy & climate saving home installations are making low frequency hums and buzz sounds that drive ppl crazy.

[@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk]

You are right, it is very confusing for homeowners, particularly as the government are encouraging us to convert to air source heat pumps where it is often unsuitable, ineffective and expensive. It's a shame that advanced energy efficient electric radiators are not gaining the visibility and exposure they deserve particularly following +80,000 sales and zero complaints about running costs. Electricity will always be with us, and we are finding more and more ways to generate it cleanly.
