Radiators are the ubiquitous home heating solution that the majority of us will have lived with all our lives. Comfortingly familiar and providing a reliable source of heat, it certainly is difficult to imagine a home without them. They’re the mainstay of the home, offering a pleasant mix of both convected and radiant heat wherever they’re installed, and though there are a lot of different heating methods out there, they remain a well-loved solution across the UK.
The UK imports a lot of its gas supply and it’s one of the main reasons that many people are shying away from it as a primary heat source, preferring instead to opt for electric. Though gas central heating remains a popular heating option, electric radiators offer more flexibility for modern households with their advanced programming features. We’ve sourced only the best quality electric radiators at Heatingpoint because we want our customers to enjoy this wonderfully adaptable and responsive heating method. In fact, our parent company is proud to be the sole distributor of the Haverland RC Wave within the UK – the gold standard of efficiency and style.
Their main difference to central heating radiators – aside from their fuel source – is that they heat on a room-by-room basis. Central heating heats the whole house at the same time, which is fine if you prefer a holistic approach, however it does leave you at the mercy of your boiler. Electric radiators have individual thermostats and operate individually, providing zoned heating for rooms that are in use. Even if one electric radiator fails, the rest of your system will be unaffected, providing a lot more damage limitation in comparison to a central heating breakdown. All of our radiator models include 24/7 digital programmers which allow you to schedule your heat for specific times of the day across the whole week. What’s more, they can be installed just about anywhere so long as they’re in reach of a standard 13amp plug.
We offer everything from low-cost electric radiators for those on a strict budget, to high-end models that incorporate the latest smart technology, so there really is something for everyone. Specialist models are also available for rooms or areas that need a little extra care when it comes to heating, so with that in mind, we’ve created easy to navigate categories that will help to find exactly what you’re looking for. For an overview of our core range, read on:
Fantastic Value Radiators – The Cointra Apolo Range
Offering all the functionality of a more expensive electric radiator but at a much more affordable price, the Cointra Apolo is a practical no-frills heating solution. The Apolo uses thermal fluid heating elements with optimised heat retention so it’s slow to cool down, maintaining heat levels more effectively. Built into the housing is a large LCD display which allows you to create a custom heating schedule for every hour of the week, keeping running costs to a minimum as your home is warmed only as and when required. The Cointra can also be converted into a portable, free-standing electric radiator with the purchase of additional casters priced at £39.99. This range is available in wattages ranging from 500W to 1800W and starts from £179.99.
Bestselling All-Rounder – The Haverland RC Wave
The Haverland RC Wave is easily our most popular electric radiator and offers the full package of style, function and convenience. It has a much more fluid, contemporary design compared to the more utilitarian Cointra and a trim 7.5cm profile perfect for smaller spaces. This range of radiators uses aluminium dry thermal heating elements, which means it has faster heat-up times and a quicker response if you turn your temperature down. Its precision thermostat is accurate to 0.5 °C so you’ll never need to worry about this radiator wasting energy when it gets to temperature. The RC Wave also includes 24/7 programming controls and more, providing pre-set heating schedules, as well as the ability to create your own custom routine. The Wave can also be made into a free-standing electric radiator with the purchase of an additional set of feet priced at £49.99, and has a compatible remote control at £79.99. The remote control comes highly recommended as it opens up a whole new world of added features to make it even more convenient for use. By using the remote, you can programme an unlimited amount of RC Waves with its easy-to-use interface and can modify your heating down to half hourly intervals. It also comes with even more pre-set schedules and the option of creating four different bespoke routines. Wattages for the RC Wave range from 450W to 1700W and prices start from £199.99.
Premium Intuitive Heating – The Haverland SmartWave
Heating is one of the industries that has benefited enormously from advancements in smart technology, and once you use a Haverland SmartWave, you’ll see why. The SmartWave is one of the few ‘self-learning’ heaters on the market and uses intelligent sensors to learn your routine over the course of a week. Once it’s learned your routine, it will pre-heat itself 30 minutes before you’re expected to arrive to make sure your home’s warm and inviting by the time you get back. If you’re running late, no problem – the SmartWave just switches itself to economy mode when it senses nobody’s home. It’s an energy saving solution that requires no effort whatsoever and will continue to adapt to changes to your routine on a week by week basis. Wi-fi control of the SmartWave can be enabled through the purchase of the SmartBox, which allows you to adjust its heat from anywhere in the world using the Haverland app. The SmartBox is priced at £79.99, and prices for the SmartWave itself begin at £289.99. SmartWaves offer all the efficient and reliable heat of the RC Wave but with additional convenience.
Our Specialist Radiators
Our radiators are suitable for almost every area of the home, but there will be times when you need a more specific heating solution. You may be trying to heat a particularly cold or draughty room, trying to find a radiator for a low wall, or looking for one with extra safety features. We’ve curated a range of electric radiators that will suit every eventuality.
Radiators for Conservatory Dwarf Walls
Limited wall space in conservatories can pose a problem for anyone looking to install a permanent heating solution. We offer a range of radiators purpose built to fit conservatory dwarf walls, including our excellent own brand models. They’re equally useful for other areas of the home with reduced wall space, such as loft conversions or low walls beneath windows. These reduced-height electric radiators provide all of the same features as their full sized equivalents and are easy to install. Prices for these types of radiator start from £329.99.
Rooms with High Ceilings
Older properties built to historic building standards will often have much higher ceilings compared to modern builds. The larger volume of air in high-ceilinged rooms can make them difficult to heat, with much of the heat rising up to the ceiling before finally circulating down to living levels. Cold, draughty rooms need an electric radiator with a greater power output, which is why we offer the Haverland Inerzia. The dry-stone heating elements used in this range emit heat at a higher intensity compared to conventional models and offer a higher proportion of radiant heat for increased comfort. The stone elements also have fantastic heat retention properties, allowing the Inerzia to easily maintain comfort temperatures. Prices for the Haverland Inerzia start at £399.99.
Low Surface Temperature Radiators
Safety is paramount if you’re planning to install radiators where vulnerable adults or children may come into contact with them. Our range of Elnur electric radiators are fully compliant with NHS regulations and have a restricted surface temperature of 43 ˚C – perfect for nurseries, care homes and hospitals. These radiators work by using a combination of dry thermal elements and convection blowers at the top of the housing to add a boost of heat when needed. It also offers all of the standard 24/7 programming features you’d expect from any other electric radiator so there’s no loss of functionality. Our lowest price Elnur electric radiator is £349.99, though it is also available in two larger sizes.
Vertical Electric Radiators
The narrower design of vertical electric radiators can make them invaluable in smaller rooms with limited available wall space. They’re not only functional – their tall stature gives them a more imposing presence in the room, and the radiator can act as a stunning feature as well as an effective heat source. Our Electrorad Aero-Flow uses fireclay heating elements which are excellent at retaining heat, providing lasting and satisfying warmth for any room in the house. The vertical Aero-Flow is priced at £619.99.
