The choice of heating type is undoubtedly very important. It is necessary to consider both practical, economic and safety values. Currently, heating with solid fuels, such as coal, is almost completely abandoned. Electric heating, and specifically using an electric radiator, is worth considering. It is worth learning more about this and getting to know the best products.

When is it worth choosing heating with an electric radiator?
Electric radiators are indeed becoming increasingly popular. At the same time, they can be used for heating all year round. More and more people choose this solution as an alternative to traditional heating, so for example, instead of gas heating, they choose electric heating and use an electric radiator for this purpose.
An electric radiator is the perfect solution for transitional periods. The weather is becoming more and more unpredictable and changeable. In the summer, temperatures can often drop dramatically at night, and turning on the entire heating system just for one night is pointless. An electric radiator will work perfectly as a heating solution during the transitional period, as well as an additional source of heat when working with other heating systems.
The electric radiator can be turned on whenever needed, which certainly helps reduce costs, as the heating is not on all the time. This solution is therefore ecological and prevents wasting energy.
How much does heating with an electric radiator cost?
You can often hear that electric heating is really expensive. However, this is not entirely true. Recently, you have probably noticed how much heating prices have increased. For example, the price of gas has increased by an estimated 18%. People who use a larger amount of gas, e.g. to heat the entire house, paid almost 28% more. On the other hand, the costs of electric heating are not that high at all. If we assume that we pay PLN 0.45 per kWh, the cost of heating a house up to 200 m2 all year round will be PLN 4,500. At the same time, it should be noted that winters are getting warmer, so energy consumption will be lower. In addition, you can heat the room with an electric heater. To save even more in the case of electric heating, you should lower the temperature at night and raise it early in the morning. So how do you calculate the exact heating costs? You need to take into account:
- how long is the heating season in Poland - currently it is considered to be about 200 days;
- how many hours will the heater work - depending on your needs, it can work in continuous mode, but you can lower the temperature at night or turn the heater on for 20-22 hours.
- So we multiply the number of working hours per day and the number of days in the heating season, and then multiply it by the estimated power consumption in the device's heating mode.
Which electric heater consumes the least electricity?
When choosing an electric heater, you need to pay attention to its efficiency, which translates into annual heating costs. Low energy consumption is ensured by a convector heater. It sucks in air from the bottom and then heats it. Then the heated air rises upwards. It should also be noted that such a heater does not reach very high temperatures, and at the same time heats evenly.
Electric radiators in the Onninen wholesaler
At the Onninen installation wholesaler you will find a wide selection of electric radiators, from traditional to modern, from standard to innovative. We offer models of different shapes, sizes and power, so that you can choose the perfect ones for your requirements and space.
A good solution will be the Atlantic F-119 MOBILE/2000W electric convector heater . It impresses with its ergonomics, but also with its practical values. It is equipped with an electronic thermostat with a microprocessor. This makes work easier and at the same time provides comfort. It has legs, so you can place it in the chosen place. It heats up very quickly and provides heat almost instantly.
It is also worth paying attention to the Atlantic F-120 1500W electric convector heater . This is a model that has been equipped with a wall frame. It heats up very quickly. The manufacturer has equipped it with an operating mode switch. For example, you can choose the eco or comfort operating mode, or even an open window. This is a really modern model that allows you to adjust the settings to the ambient temperature. It should be noted that it has a thermostat setting lock, which ensures safety and protection, e.g. against accidental temperature changes by children.
The Atlantic F-119 MOBILE/2500W electric convector heater will also be a suitable solution for demanding conditions. It has quite similar parameters to the first model we presented. However, it has protection against freezing, but also overheating, and temperature control. The device works efficiently and is designed for rooms with an area of up to 31 m2. It is practically flat, so it does not take up much space, which is ideal for smaller areas.
