Heating Elements
Heating elements come in various wattages to suit different radiator sizes. Since they’re visible, many designs are available to match the aesthetics of your radiator, much like radiator valves. When choosing a heating element, opting for a slightly higher wattage than you think you’ll need is a wise decision, it’s always better to have extra warmth available than to fall short when you need it most.
Sometimes, you don’t need to heat your entire home, just a single room, like the bathroom, to stay comfortable. Instead of cranking up the central heating and wasting energy, a heating element offers an affordable and efficient alternative.
Also known as summer heating elements, these devices are installed inside radiators, typically towel rails allowing them to function as independent electric heaters while still being part of your existing central heating system. They’re perfect for warming towels without switching on the full system in warmer months, but they’re equally useful in winter for giving an extra boost of warmth to bathrooms and larger spaces.
