Use cases

Domestic heating

Electric heating can provide a practical solution for homes, extensions, conservatories, garden rooms and individual rooms where additional or alternative heating is required.

Commercial and workplace heating

Heating requirements can vary considerably between offices, retail premises, workshops and other commercial spaces. The right system depends on the space, how it is used and where heat is required.

Targeted and supplementary heating

Under-desk, under-pew, ceiling and other specialist heating systems can provide warmth where it is needed without necessarily heating the entire space.

Bathrooms and wet areas

Electric underfloor heating, heating elements and mirror demister pads can add comfort and convenience in bathrooms and other areas where moisture and temperature control need to be considered.

Protecting pipes and equipment

Pipe freeze protection systems help protect vulnerable pipework and equipment from low temperatures in domestic, commercial and specialist installations.

Choosing the right product

Choosing the right heating solution starts with understanding the space, how it is used and where heat is needed.

1. What are you trying to heat?

Consider whether you need heating for a whole room, a specific area or a particular application. Far infrared, underfloor and specialist heating systems can each suit different spaces and requirements.

2. How do you want the heat delivered?

Electric heating can be delivered through radiant heating, underfloor systems or heating elements fitted to suitable radiators and towel rails. The best option depends on the space, installation and how the heating will be used.

3. How much heat do you need?

Required output depends on the size and construction of the space, insulation, glazing, ceiling height and how the room is used. Use the product specifications and application guidance when selecting individual products rather than relying on a single watts-per-square-metre figure.

4. How will the heating be controlled?

Many electric heating systems use thermostatic control to regulate temperature and improve comfort. Depending on the system, you may need a thermostat, programmer or other controller.

Frequently asked questions

Are electric underfloor heating systems suitable for all floor types?

Different electric underfloor heating systems are designed for different floor constructions and coverings. Some systems are suitable for screed or tile installations, while dry-laid systems are designed for applications such as laminate or timber flooring. Always check the specific product requirements before installation.

Can I fit an electric heating element into any radiator or towel rail?

No. Heating elements are available in different sizes, thread configurations and designs, so compatibility depends on the radiator or towel rail. Check the manufacturer's requirements, including thread size, available space and element orientation, before choosing an element.

What is the difference between far infrared and other electric heating systems?

Far infrared heating uses radiant heat to warm people, objects and surfaces directly, rather than relying primarily on heated air circulating around a room. Other electric heating systems use different methods, including underfloor heating and heating elements fitted to suitable radiators or towel rails.

Are electric heating systems energy efficient?

Electric heating systems convert electrical energy into heat at the point of use, but overall running costs depend on the system, how it is controlled, the building and its insulation, how the space is used and the electricity tariff. We recommend considering the complete installation rather than relying on a single efficiency or running-cost figure.

Can electric heating be used in bathrooms and other wet areas?

Some electric heating products are specifically designed for use in bathrooms and other areas where moisture is present, but suitability depends on the individual product and installation location. Always check the product's IP rating, installation requirements and relevant safety information before installation.

How do I choose the right electric heating system for my space?

The right system depends on the space, how it is used, the type of heat required and the installation. Factors such as room size, insulation, glazing, ceiling height and heating output can all affect the choice. If you're unsure, contact us with your requirements and we'll help point you towards the most suitable products.
