German Electric Radiators are specially designed to remove the guesswork from the heating equation. They are thermostatically controlled radiators, which only draw electricity if the temperature in a room dips below your set temperature. This allows you to decide what temperature you would like each room to be and ensures money is not wasted heating rooms unnecessarily.
This kind of flexibility isn’t an option with night storage heaters, which lack both the level of control and efficiency necessary for such options.
Electricity consumption and heat quality
Storage heaters rely primarily on convection to deliver heat. Air is heated by a unit and rises. As it cools, it falls, creating a flow of air current around the room. Night storage heaters are frequently located opposite windows to improve convection currents.
German Electric Radiators utilise both radiated and convected heat. This eliminates potential cold spots that can be created by convection heating alone.
Night storage heaters make use of electricity all through the night, at lower, off-peak prices. The problem with this is that the majority of people use the most electricity during peak times. Televisions, computers, kettles, irons, and all your other small appliances draw electricity at a higher rate. Your storage heaters use electricity for seven to ten hours each night, and you have no control over this.
Electric radiators, on the other hand, only draw electricity for around three to four hours per day. This reduces your usage by fifty per cent. Even if you’re using your radiators on peak, due to the significantly lower number of hours they are on, you can save a considerable amount of money.
Replacing storage heaters
If you currently have night storage heaters, don’t despair! Replacing them with modern, German Electric Radiators is simple and easy. A new heating system will ensure you can control the temperature of rooms, reduce temperatures at night time or when the property is empty, and have a far greater level of control over your energy usage and the cost of heating your home.
