The Comfort Control range is an aluminium ceramic core electric radiator. You can find more information at the following link: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/comfort-control-electric-radiator-ceramic/. This range represents approx. 3% of our total sales however the Slimline Curve included in the video above is by far our best seller and represents approximately 90-95% of sales. Most customers are looking for a super-slim, fast heating radiator which is ultra energy efficient. We have sold over 50,000 units of the Slimline Curve in the past 6 years and it is the slimmest electric radiator in the uk. It is a Dry-Thermal radiator and has gained the highest TrustPilot rating: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/slimline-curve-electric-radiator/. This product is designed and owned by Best Electric Radiators. We are aware of several counterfeits of the Slimline Curve on the UK market which are being manufactured outside Europe. The products are almost identical to the Slimline Curve in design and appearance however the internal components, longevity and efficiency are completely different.

The warranty on our products is 2 years on the electronic components and 10 years on the body. You can read more at the following page: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/warranty/

Energy efficient electric radiators are called "Lot20" include multiple energy saving technologies such as open window technology, predictive start technology based on the insulation properties of a room and the average heat up time, technology which prevents overshooting or undershooting of target temperatures, etc. They also have individual digital room thermostats which are monitoring and regulating the precise temperature in each room within 0.1 degree, whereas traditional forms of heating have 1 or 2 thermostats in the entire home which are not accurately measuring individual room temperatures. You can read more here: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/blog/lot-20-ecodesign-compliance/ Electric radiators work in a very different way to gas or oil central heating systems. Gas and oil CHS are wasteful as heating a volume of water and pumping it around pipework to heat 1 or 2 rooms is very inefficient with heat loss under floorboards and walls, boiler exhausts, etc.

Each radiator is programmable individually so you can set the perfect temperature in each room precisely when you want it. We have 2 models, Non-Wifi and Wifi. the Non-Wifi model is programmed directly from the radiator and the other is controlled from an app on your phone: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/slimline-curve-electric-radiator/

@@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk thank you that’s great. We will be needing some later this year when we move to an apartment. Is it possible to visit your shop to choose the appropriate radiators, and get a demo on how to set up timer/thermostats?

@@michellew8118 Hi Michelle, you are welcome to visit our showroom anytime Mon-Fri 9-5pm. We are based in Knaresborough which is close to Harrogate in North Yorkshire. We can send you video demos, step by step guides or even take you through the programming on the telephone. ;-)

Traditional heating solutions such as gas central heating operate in a very different way to electric radiators therefore they are significantly less wasteful. ● A GCH system heats up a large volume of water and circulates the water around pipework to each radiator whereas electric radiators delivery the heat directly from the source. ● Electric radiators are 100% efficient and thermostatically controlled within each room whereas a GCH system has a central thermostat often in the hallway or landing. This all means that individual rooms such as a living room can be heated exclusively therefore eliminating wastage. The rooms in a typical 2 or 3 bed property can be heated precisely when you require the heat as each radiator is fully programmable. Alternatively you can simply turn the radiator on or off manually giving you complete control. They also include the following energy saving technologies which contribute to reduce heating bills: ● Open window technology which will detect when a window or door is left open and will reduce the power output to reduce wastage ● Predictive heat up technology which will commence the heating process earlier so that the room temperature is achieved precisely when required. ● Intelligent temperature control which will prevent the radiator from over-shooting the target temperature. The radiator will reduce the output before it reaches the set target temperature. ● Manufactured with aluminium which is the best material for fast conductivity of heat into a room ● Wifi controlled option which will allow the user to control each individual room temperature away from the property. For example, if you only want heating in 1 or 2 rooms prior to arriving back home. GCH radiators can be turned down or off using thermostatic valves however this reduces the efficiency of the heating system. There is also a lag heat up and cool down time whereas a dry thermal electric radiator will delivery heat instantly and heat a room within 5-10 mins. GCH systems require regular maintenance which can cost several hundred pounds per year. There is no maintenance required with an electric radiator. Electricity is here for the foreseeable future and with the government committing to its Net Zero Strategy, it’s important that we all do our part to be less wasteful and reduce our impact on the environment.

Hi Kristy, please call 01423 733000 or visit our website: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk

I'm afraid that is far from the truth. You can read more information at the following link: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/blog/convection-heater-vs-radiant-heater-best-spoiler/

Hi, The dimensions can be viewed at the following link www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/slimline-curve-electric-radiator/ however the shortest radiator is 500mm which sounds like it will be too high for your requirements. This radiator will fit on a dwarf wall of 600mm.

I'm afraid a £50 cheap and cheerful Oil filled electric radiator is fine for a temporary heating solution however it will not be anywhere as reliable or cost effective than a £500 Ceramic electric radiator. There are also many other disadvantages of a cheaper style heater. Unfortunately this is mistake many people make when deciding on the best electric radiator for their home or office.

@@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk Your nose is growing Pinocchio. Actually you can go cheaper than an oil filled radiator. I have a 2KW Glen heater with a thermostat that is about 35 years old and still working at 100% efficiency. It only cost £20.

Please lick on the following link to see the price list for our best selling range, the Slimline Curve: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/slimline-curve-electric-radiator/

Gas and oil CHS are wasteful as heating a volume of water and pumping it around pipework to heat 1 or 2 rooms is very inefficient with heat loss under floorboards and walls, boiler exhausts, etc. The efficiency of a gas or oil CHS in a typical home is maximised when all radiators are operating together however the efficiency is reduced when radiators are turned down or off using thermostatic valves. This is not the case with electric heating as 100% of the heat energy converted from electricity is delivered directly into each room. There is zero maintenance with electric radiators and a professional is not required for installation.

@@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk Exactly. More than once you've eluded to examples of poor insulation. Thanks for clarifying and agreeing with me. The features on these electric radiators are what you get with digital smart thermostatic valves, so there's still no benefit to changing to electric heating for the that reason alone. Also, DIY installation as suggested would not be advised. Try ripping out a central heating system and replacing it stock with electric radiators without checking load values at the consumer unit and the cabling throughout the home on a standard ring circuit or worse, an old fuse box. Top tip: have the local fire bridge on standby. While these may be "maintenance free", a standard rad & gas/oil system come with lengthy guarantee periods, sometimes up to 12 years. I doubt these electric rads will. Like a modern flat screen telly, once it's broken, that's the end. Conversely, spare parts and registered engineers for gas/oil heating systems are everywhere. This company has no liability for giving bad advice, so arm yourself with knowledge first.

@@ottofumbler7267 As mentioned above, adding thermostatic valves to an existing gas or oil CHS reduces the efficiency of the entire system. We have sold over 80,000 electric radiators over the past 10 years and not come across a situation where a customer has overloaded their electric supply, however we recommend double checking with a qualified electrician. You have mentioned the local fire brigade. We have not experienced any safety issues with our products so no cause for concern. Electricity will always be available and there's a real movement towards cleaner heating solutions that don't involve burning fossil fuels.

There you go folks. "Consult a qualified electrician"... who will need to visit your property to complete a full test of your electrics, tell you you need a separate ring circuit (due to the high load) to swap over from gas/oil central heating to a fully electric system, and then quote you ££££s for a rewire. So, when you've scrapped your gas/oil system (at a cost plus skip & recycling charges), bought all new electric rads, and had your electrics tested and a new ring (per floor) plus a possible consumer unit upgrade all paid for, plus a main fuse upgrade from your electricity provider, how long before you see the "savings" on your heating bill make economic sense? Don't forget the carbon footprint of scrapping your existing system and the manufacturing of new electric rads. Or for a fraction of the cost, upgrade your thermostatic valves and insulation, and boost your green credentials in a jiffy. "There will always be electricity", suggesting that gas is running out. Someone better tell the national grid that, as they're currently generating 35% of the UK's energy from gas fired stations, which is higher than any other single source. Now you have the facts, and not just a sales pitch. You decide.

@@ottofumbler7267 Checking with an electrician is only a recommendation. It is not necessary in most cases and as mentioned previously, we have not come across a situation in the past 10 years whereby a customer has overloaded their circuit. We've seen a huge transition over the past 3+ years from homeowners moving away from traditional fuels to heat their home, run their cars, etc. and electricity is here to stay for the long term. It's super clean with no boiler, pipework etc. so for many homeowners its a sensible and viable consideration.

I'm afraid we haven't come across this product in the past.

Yes it is. Our electric radiators are used throughout the home and include safety mechanisms such as thermal cut out switches. Our best selling radiator is the Slimline Curve which is the slimmest electric radiator in the UK: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/slimline-curve-electric-radiator/

I'm afraid it is not recommended to cover electric radiators as this will prevent normal airflow out of the top grill and can reduce the life span of the heater.

@@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk Thank you for your reply but the question is: Is it prohibited? Like on the electric heater " Do not cover" sign or will it be safe? Thank You!

@@plaksini There is a do not cover sign on the radiator so it will not be safe.

We recommend our own brand (Best Electric) as we have the highest TrsutPilot rating in the UK electric radiator market. The Slimline Curve is our best selling range which is the slimmest in the market: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/slimline-curve-electric-radiator/. There is also a Wifi model if you would like to control your radiator remotely: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/slimline-curve-wifi-electric-radiator/

Hi David, thank you for your message. Our electric radiators are manufactured in the EU however please contact us on 01423 733000 or info@bestelectricradiators.co.uk to find out more about our advanced electric radiators. Many thanks, Best Electric Customer Support.

Heat retention is approximately the same in both our Ceramic and Oil filled electric radiators. Ceramic is slightly more favored because it is lighter and slightly smaller for the same output and you never run the risk of them leaking over time. www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/c/electric-radiators/ceramic/

We specialise in energy efficient low cost electric radiators. Please read our reviews from over 80,000 sales: uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk

Yes. Many of our customers switch from gas central heating to electric heating without solar and after 80,000 sales we have not received any negative feedback regarding running costs.

The current EPC certificates do not recognise advanced LOT electric radiators even though they are up to 50% cheaper to run than economy 7 storage heaters. We have had meetings with our local MP and correspondence from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) regarding the current EPC guidelines. We hope this will change in the near future to help homeowners and renters save money on their heating bills and help the environment.

We will be creating another video on precisely this subject. As a ball park (and a way to calculate the running costs) our electric radiators will draw electricity 25% of the time to maintain a set target room temperature. This means that running cost calculations should be based on 25% of the cost per kWh. For example, our 2000w electric radiator running on a tariff of 30pence per kWh will cost 2x30/4 = 15 pence per hour. The initial warm up phase will always cost the most however the Slimline Curve featured in the video will heat a room within 10-15 minutes! It is also important to note that even though electricity converts to heat energy 100% (based on the laws of physics), this does not mean that the running costs from one electric heater/radiator to another will be the same. The running costs are determined by the heat management technology (i.e. how the heater delivers the set temperature). Our electric radiators include multiple advanced energy saving technology to help minimise wastage and help reduce running costs. Please contact us directly for more information on info@bestelectricradiators.co.uk

Have you purchased your radiators from our company? Are your radiators LOT20? Electric radiators can vary hugely from one brand to another. We've not experienced this type of feedback following 80,000 sales.

Hi Dean, your comments are absolutely spot on. Investing in renewables and nuclear energy to help clean the environment and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels from the rest of the world. Electricity is here for the long term unlike gas and oil.

@@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk Indeed, and I think you’re ahead of the game here and have a big future. The ease and cost of installation as well as the ability to maximise efficiency through scheduling etc is attractive, and many properties that can’t facilitate a heat pump will be scratching around for a solution. I need to keep my baby’s room at 18 degrees all night, I don’t want the boiler to be running all night, and smart radiator values are rubbish, so I’m looking at electric radiators…

Heat naturally rises so it is fine to put a radiator behind a sofa however we recommend a distance of at least 10cm in front of the radiator to prevent too much radiant heat being absorbed into the fabric of the sofa.

Thank you for your comment. Electric water filled central heating systems are notoriously expensive to run in comparison to traditional gas and oil CHS because 1) the cost of electricity is higher than gas and oil and 2) they experience the same heat wastage and lack of control which gas and oil CHS experience. We recommend using independent advanced LOT20 electric radiators for each room and a separate electric water heater to provide hot water to taps, shower, bath, etc. This will allow you to have heat precisely when you where you want it and avoid wastage. The Slimline Curve is the slimmest electric radiator in the UK at 51mm and represents over 95% of our total sales: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/slimline-curve-electric-radiator/

I'm afraid our products are only currently available in the UK. Do you think there is a potential market for such products in colder areas of the US?

We believe you are referring to a panel or fan heater which deliver 100% convection heat which can feel stuffy and can push dust around the room. We sell advanced electric radiators that deliver a blend of convection and radiant heat, which is the best form of heat delivery into a room. We get nothing but praise regarding the 'type' of heat our products emit. You can view genuine customer reviews on our TrustPilot page: uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk

Hi, we are a UK based company currently only selling to the UK and Europe.

Panel heaters are notoriously expensive to run which is why many homeowners switch to advanced electric radiators which are packed with energy saving technology.

@@BestelectricradiatorsCoUk surely though a 2000w heater is going to use 2kwh no matter how it works..weather it is infrared, oil filled, electric radiator or panel heater? How is this more efficient? I need to find an alternative that is not going to result in high cost to run

@@joannehorrex7548 We have sold over 80,000 electric radiators without any complaints regarding running costs. This is a real testament to the efficiency of our product which are packed with advanced energy saving technologies. You can read more at the following link: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/slimline-curve-electric-radiator/

Have them on but cut your room temperature to 14°C enough to keep hands warm and put a couple of layers of clothing on.

A lot depends on how many outside walls you have the less you have the cheaper to heat.

The laws of physics dictate that all electric heating devices are 100% energy efficient. The actual running costs of one heater/radiator to another is impacted by several contributing factors such as the accuracy of the thermostat, the type of thermostat (digital or analogue), in-built technology that prevents overshooting of the target temperature, predictive heating technology that can calculate and anticipate how long it takes to heat a room to a predetermined temperature, etc. All these factors help minimise energy wastage to help maximise energy efficiency. Our electric radiators include all these energy saving components and technologies. Over the years we have received fantastic feedback from our customers claiming in excess of 50% savings on running costs from their old heating system to our electric radiators. In fact this morning we had feedback from a customers that our radiators were 56% more efficient than their previous heating solution (electric storage heaters). The savings of course can vary significantly from one home to another however to date (following 80,000 sales) we have not received a single complaint or concern regarding the running costs of our electric radiators. Cheap and cheerful electric heaters are notoriously expensive to run in comparison to advanced LOT20 electric radiators.

Hi Shaun, we can supply you with a simple step by step guide and also a CZcams video to help programme your radiator. Alternatively you are welcome to contact us by telephone and we will guide you through the programming process. It is nice and simple when we explain it. Please contact info@bestelectricradiators.co.uk. Regards, Best Electric Customer Service Team.

Good question. We have been in discussions with our local MP and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to highlight our concerns. It's a travesty that the current rules do not take into consideration advances in electric heating especially as they help to save homeowners money and also help the environment at a time where we should all be playing a part to be more energy-efficient. We are hopeful the EPC will be updated soon.

Interestingly our biggest market are homeowners who are moving away from storage heaters and more interestingly this is where we see the biggest savings in terms of running costs! The concept of storage heaters using a cheaper night tariff (Economy 7), storing heat during the night and delivering the heat during the daytime sounds great, however sadly this is where the advantages stop. Storage heaters are notoriously wasteful because they are big and bulky with large heating capacity and therefore use large volumes of electricity (even though the electricity is cheaper during the night). They then deliver the heat through the day (often when the homeowner is not in the property) and run out of heat when it is most needed on the evening. With an advanced electric radiator, the heat management technology will help eliminate heat and electricity wastage because they will only draw electricity when heat is required. So, even though the electricity tariff will be higher the running costs are approximately 40-50%. Apart from lowing the running costs there are also lots more advantages of an electric radiator over a storage heater which you can read by clicking this link: www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/replacing-storage-heaters/

We sell 3 types of electric radiators which pretty much covers the whole of the electric radiator market (Oil, Ceramic and Dry Thermal). Interestingly Oil filled electric radiators are our least popular range because they are big, chunky, heavy and take a while to heat a room. Although it is rare, they also run the risk of leaking over time. The key point to make here is that all our electric radiator ranges whether they are oil, ceramic or dry are all equally energy efficient which means they all cost the same to run. As a result most customers prefer a super slim, lightweight Dry Thermal electric radiator in particular our Slimline Curve range because they are the slimmest electric radiator in the UK (www.bestelectricradiators.co.uk/p/slimline-curve-electric-radiator/). This range always receives the highest TrustPilot rating and is manufactured from 100% high grade aluminum. It is available with Wifi or non-Wifi. As for infrared heating, we have chosen not to sell this type of property because we do not believe it is the future of home heating.

Do a lot of reserch into infrared, need ceiling or angled, high mounted wall hanging for best results. Very pricey for the ones that really do the job. Great advertising, very neat or pretty but remember they heat the object not the air.

@@esme6346 We do not recommend Infrared heating as the majority of homeowners do not want ceiling mounted heaters.

Nope. Ceramics stay warm _much_ longer than oil, so need less energy overall to maintain a comfortable level of heat.

Oh - and infrared is crap. Been there, done that.
