FAQs
What are panel heaters?
Panel heaters are a type of electric heater that provides warmth to a room through convection.
They are usually wall mounted, take up less room than a traditional radiator and help to keep your room at a constant temperature.
How do electric panel heaters work?
Panel heaters heat a room using the convection heating cycle. They generate heat by warming an electric element within the heater, and by drawing in cool air across the panel surface.
The hot air rises as it passes the heating element, flowing through the outlet grille and creating a consistent cycle of warm air throughout the room.
Can I install my panel heater in the bathroom?
Many of our panel heaters are rated IP24 and splash-proof, making them ideal for bathrooms.
Always check that your electric heaters are safe for installation in a bathroom area, as the moisture and humidity can cause safety concerns.
What is the difference between an electric radiator and a panel heater?
Most panel heaters use convection or a combination of convection and radiant heat to heat a room. Convection heats rooms quickly by warming the air.
Convection heaters produce quick results, as they only rely on heating the air and are ideal for providing extra heat in smaller spaces.
Electric radiators use both convection and radiant heat, which warms people and objects directly, rather than heating the air, making them perfect for draughty spaces.
Are panel heaters easy to install?
Panel heater installation varies depending on the type of panel heater you choose but most offer straightforward installation.
Portable options are designed for DIY installation, however most wall mounted models will require the expertise of an electrician to ensure it's installed securely and connected reliably to the electricity supply for maximum safety.
Many of our models can be mounted on a wall or used as a portable electric heater.
Are panel heaters energy efficient?
Many of our panel heaters come with eco-friendly features to help you save energy and keep your rooms warmer with as little energy usage as possible.
For instance, open window detection turns the electric panel heater off if it detects an open window to help stop energy wastage.
Many are also equipped with thermal cutouts to prevent overheating in the case of malfunction or if the vent is accidentally covered.
Panel heaters are also great for saving energy when you want to heat one room or area for a short period, without warming the whole house with central heating.
What are the benefits of using a panel heater?
Panel heaters are popular among homeowners because they are simple to install, cost-effective, and have low running costs.
A panel heater is particularly useful in smaller rooms where bulky radiators would take up too much room or where underfloor heating would be difficult to retrofit.
Panel heaters have a slimline design and are often installed in home offices, spare bedrooms, or reception areas to save space and fit into existing room layout.
