What happens on the day
Every heater installation follows a structured process to verify the electrical supply before mounting the new unit on the wall.
- Circuit assessment and preparationWe inspect the existing wiring points and verify the consumer unit capacity. Testing the circuit confirms the cable and protective devices can safely carry the kilowatt rating of the new heating unit before any physical work starts.
- Mounting and electrical terminationWe secure mounting brackets into the wall structure, hang the electric radiator level, and terminate the electrical connections into a switched fused spur or dedicated junction box with proper cable clipping.
- Testing and operational demonstrationOnce connected, we test earth continuity and insulation resistance. We turn on the power, set up the built-in programmer or thermostatic controls, and confirm the heating element draws power as specified by the manufacturer.

WhatsAppCan an electric radiator connect to an existing wall socket?
Most electric radiators connect into a switched fused spur rather than a standard plug socket for permanent safety. During the visit, we evaluate the circuit to confirm whether connecting into an existing spur is suitable or if a dedicated line is required.
Do you remove old storage heaters before installing electric radiators?
Yes, we disconnect redundant storage heaters safely, isolate the wiring, and mount your new electric heating units in their place. We check the existing cabling to make sure it matches modern heating requirements.
Are electric radiators suitable for rental properties?
Landlords frequently fit electric radiators to replace broken gas fires or old storage heaters. Because each heater operates independently with its own digital thermostat, tenants can manage temperatures easily while complying with electrical standards.
Is a new consumer unit required for electric heating?
A new consumer unit is not always necessary. If your existing board has spare capacity and modern RCD protection, we can connect to it directly. If the board is full or outdated, we quote consumer unit upgrades separately.
Do electric radiators require maintenance?
Unlike wet central heating systems with boilers, pumps and valves, electric radiators have no internal fluids or moving mechanical parts to bleed or service. Keeping air vents free of dust is generally all that is needed.
