Electric radiator installation across Broadstone
We serve Broadstone from our base in Poole.
What happens on the day
From testing the incoming supply to demonstrating the heating controls, our installation process is straightforward, tidy, and fully certificated.
- Initial inspection and supply isolationWe inspect the proposed wall location, check the consumer unit, and test the circuit cabling. Power is safely isolated at the main distribution board before any mechanical fixing or electrical connection work begins.
- Mounting and electrical connectionThe heating unit is secured firmly to the wall using heavy-duty fixings. We connect the heater to a switched fused spur or dedicated radial supply, ensuring all connections are enclosed, earth bonding is sound, and cabling is neatly clipped.
- Testing and controls demonstrationOnce the radiator is connected, we restore power, conduct electrical continuity and insulation resistance tests, and run the appliance. We set up the digital thermostat or timer and confirm the unit heats as intended.

WhatsAppCan an electric radiator be connected to an existing socket circuit?
In many cases, an electric radiator can be wired into an existing ring circuit via a switched fused connection unit, provided the circuit has sufficient spare capacity and correct protective devices. If the circuit is already heavily loaded, we install a new dedicated radial circuit from the consumer unit.
Do you remove old night storage heaters before fitting electric radiators?
Yes. We disconnect and remove old storage heaters safely, ensuring the electrical connections are isolated. We can then wire the replacement electric radiators into the existing supply points if the circuit configuration and tariffs are appropriate.
Is an electrical installation certificate provided after fitting a heater?
Yes. As a NAPIT registered business, MX2 Electrical tests every newly installed heater circuit and issues the appropriate minor electrical works certificate or electrical installation certificate. Notifiable alterations are registered under building regulations.
Are electric radiators suitable for rental properties?
Yes. Landlords frequently choose wall-mounted electric radiators because they provide consistent warmth without the maintenance requirements of gas boilers or wet pipework. Modern units feature tamper-resistant timers and accurate digital thermostats.
What happens if my consumer unit cannot accommodate a new heating circuit?
If your existing consumer unit lacks spare ways or RCD protection required for a new heating circuit, we will explain the options before any work starts. A consumer unit upgrade can be quoted separately to bring the installation up to modern standards.
