We measure existing electrical capacity to confirm the cable and protective devices can safely carry the additional electrical load required by the new heating installation. ### Mounting the radiator and making connections We position the mounting brackets firmly on the chosen wall, secure the electric radiator, and run the cabling cleanly. Connections are made into a fused spur or wired directly to a dedicated radial circuit, ensuring all terminations are sound and neatly enclosed. ### Testing, controls setup, and certification Once connected, the circuit is energised and tested for continuity and insulation resistance. We check that the digital programmer and thermostat operate properly, demonstrate how to set the heating schedule, and issue the appropriate electrical documentation. ## Frequently asked questions about electric radiators ### Can an electric radiator be connected to an existing socket circuit? In many cases, an electric radiator can be wired into an existing socket circuit via a fused spur, provided the circuit has sufficient capacity to handle the heating load. During our initial checks, we assess the circuit to confirm it is safe before connecting the unit. ### Can you remove old storage heaters when fitting new electric radiators? Yes. We can disconnect and remove outdated or broken night storage heaters before fitting modern, controllable electric radiators in their place. We will also check whether the existing off-peak wiring can be reused or if the supply needs reconfiguration. ### Are electric radiators suitable for rental properties in Christchurch? Electric radiators are a practical choice for landlords in Christchurch town centre, Mudeford, and Burton. They provide steady room-by-room heating without boiler maintenance, flue inspections, or gas safety checks, while giving tenants precise thermostat controls. ### Do you issue an electrical certificate after installing a radiator? Yes. Every electric heating installation is tested and certified. You receive electrical documentation detailing the tests carried out on the circuit, confirming that the work complies with relevant wiring regulations. As a NAPIT registered business, notifiable works are officially notified. ### What factors can change the cost of electric heating installation? The total cost is influenced by whether a suitable electrical connection already exists near the installation point. If a new dedicated radial circuit must be run from the consumer unit, or if the consumer unit requires an upgrade to support additional circuits, those elements are quoted separately. ## Other services in Christchurch - [Electrician in Christchurch](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-christchurch): Electrical repairs, inspections and planned installations for homes, landlords and suitable business premises across Christchurch and BH23. - [Electric radiator installation (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/electric-radiator-installation): MX2 Electrical fits electric radiators and heating from £145 around Poole and Dorset.
