Radiator

There are different types of electric heaters:

Mobile radiators

Mobile radiators are electric radiators which can provide additional heat exactly where and when required.

  • fan heater
  • electric radiant heater
  • oil filled radiator

Wall heaters

Typically, a wall heater might be installed in a room where it is always colder than elsewhere because the central heating is non-existent or lacking. They are generally easy to install and more powerful than portable heaters.

  • Inertia radiator
  • Radiant heater
  • Storage

Mixed radiators: wall or mobile

These heaters can be wall mounted or mobile allowing a constant additional heating in an unheated room or a mobile source of additional heat where required.
