What Makes Our German Radiators Different?

German Made
German storage radiators offer very significant benefits over traditional night storage heaters. If you are familiar with German storage heating systems you’ll already know how technically advanced and simple to operate they are. German made electric storage heating systems work 24 hours a day and they are widely acknowledged to be among the best quality and most efficient electric heating systems available. In addition they are easy to install with no ugly pipe work or maintenance costs like gas, oil or LPG.
Our German radiators are storage heaters but not night storage heaters. Night storage heaters work by heating fire clay bricks during the night using Economy 7 electricity. It takes some time for them to reach operating temperature and the resulting heat is stored in the bricks and then released into the room throughout the following day. Conversely, Ecowarm’s German electric radiators reach operating temperature in minutes rather than hours and they are designed to use only the amount of electricity required to maintain the set temperature. This means that you are in complete control of the amount of electricity you use, which could help to reduce costs
The Downside of Traditional Night Storage Heaters
Require a lot of electricity to reach operating temperature
Temperature control is very difficult
Cannot respond to changeable weather, which can result in excess heat or having to use expensive back up heating
Heating rooms that are only used occasionally
Bulky ugly heaters
Minute Heating
Hours a day
The Benefits of our German Storage Radiators
German storage radiators are possibly the fastest growing electric heating solution in the UK. Our heaters use a special material called Chamotte, which is a ceramic fire clay that heats up very quickly and retains heat in the radiators core. This process of continuously generating and conserving heat within the heater core means that the electricity drawdown is only the amount required to maintain the set temperature, ensuring that your heating is both efficient and cost effective. As soon as the power comes on, the radiator element heats up and the Chamotte plates can reach their maximum temperature in just 5 minutes, resulting in a warm room in less than half an hour. Compare this with Economy 7 storage heaters that take up to 7 hours to reach optimum operating temperature.
A more responsive heating system provides you with much more flexibility for rooms like bathrooms and bedrooms, which only require heat for short periods. It will also enable you to turn up the heat on particularly cold days without having to plan ahead. Because our electric radiators heat up on demand you don’t have to rely on expensive back up heating.
Modern Design
Our electric radiators have a much more pleasing look than traditional night storage radiators, with a contemporary, slimline design (Only 90mm deep) and they also come in a wide range of RAL colours.
Our German Radiators are Storage Heaters but not Night Storage Heaters
Some suppliers try to cut costs by using poorer quality ceramic cores. In our damp British climate, poorer quality ceramics found in some other German storage radiators literally suck moisture from the atmosphere when they are switched off for some time, especially during the summer months. When they come on in the autumn the water ingress can cause the radiator to short circuit the house electrics and it can also create rusting in the inner casement.
Our internal plates are specially manufactured using only the very finest quality ceramic material known as Chamotte, which is 100% non porous. Although it is far more costly to produce we believe this is required to meet our commitment to supply the best materials available.

More about our German Radiators
"Absolutely great service received from Ecowarm! I made the initial enquiry online and had a response within one hour, their punctuality, professionalism, and customer care before and after installation has been outstanding. It was a very smooth process and we are extremely happy with our Ecowarm installation."
"We are confident we chose the right company for our heating needs. We recently moved house and needed to upgrade our heating system. Everyone from Ecowarm was very pleasant and informative. Being of a certain age we took our time familiarising ourselves with the new technology. We are chuffed and very grateful for the service we received, and everything is working nicely. Thank you Ecowarm!"
"I’m really pleased I had my radiators replaced in my flat by Ecowarm. They heat up very quickly and the place is much warmer, and I didn’t think that they were overly expensive. The Surveyor was great, and the installation team were very efficient and tidy. I work shifts, so the App to control them remotely is of great benefit. Thank you Ecowarm."
"We used Ecowarm Heating to upgrade several radiators in our home. The new radiators look great and work very efficiently. Ecowarm were very prompt in responding to our initial enquiry and I found the whole process straight forward and the installation was very professional, neat and of a great standard. Everything is working great, money well spent! We would highly recommend Ecowarm to others."
