Whether you're unwinding in the living room, working in the home office, or relaxing in any space, maintaining a comfortable temperature is essential, especially as evenings draw in. At Aizo Quality Heating, we specialise in supplying high-quality electric heating solutions, and the EHC DSR Heat Retention Radiators are an excellent choice for efficient, reliable warmth across your entire home. As a supply-only company, we provide these innovative radiators to both homeowners and trade installers, ensuring straightforward access to heating options that suit a variety of needs.
Understanding EHC DSR Heat Retention Radiators
The EHC DSR Heat Retention Radiators embody German engineering excellence, integrating smart technology with partial heat storage for outstanding performance. These radiators feature patented Magmatic tablets—ceramic stones that store heat effectively. Once the target temperature is achieved, the thermostat switches off the power, enabling the stored heat to continue radiating for up to 45 minutes without consuming additional electricity. This means the radiators typically use around 20 minutes of electricity per hour, depending on your property's insulation and outdoor conditions.
Unlike conventional convector heaters, the DSR models deliver a balanced combination of convection and radiant heat. Their high-fin design provides six times the surface area of similar heaters, ensuring even heat distribution throughout the room. This avoids hot spots near the ceiling and delivers warmth right down to floor level for ultimate comfort. The outcome is a steady temperature that mimics a traditional 'wet' system radiator, but with the added benefits of electric heating's flexibility and efficiency.
Key Features for Efficiency and Convenience
Efficiency lies at the core of the DSR range. Electric radiators convert nearly 100% of the energy they use into heat, with no losses via pipes as in central heating systems. This positions them as a cost-effective alternative to gas systems, particularly since you can heat specific rooms as required rather than the whole house. For trade installers, the DSR radiators are simple to install—they can be wall-mounted using the supplied kits, placed free-standing with optional feet or castors, or connected to a standard 13A socket for immediate use. We advise engaging a qualified electrician for installations involving multiple units to prevent circuit overloads.
Each radiator comes with a built-in digital programmer for accurate control. Set a 7-day schedule in one-hour increments, selecting from comfort, economy, or frost protection modes, with precision to 0.1°C. For enhanced smart capabilities, add the optional DSR Smart APP Gateway. This allows Wi-Fi control from anywhere, including geo-location features that adjust settings based on your location—ideal for holiday homes or rental properties. The app also provides energy usage data to help monitor and refine consumption.
Safety is paramount too. These radiators include overheat protection and thermal cut-off switches, emitting no harmful fumes unlike gas alternatives. Maintenance is straightforward: dust with a soft cloth or vacuum brush when switched off, steering clear of abrasive products.
Versatile for Any Room
The DSR range offers models in standard, tall, and conservatory heights, with outputs ranging from 800W to 2400W or higher, making them suitable for spaces of all sizes—from compact bedrooms to larger living areas. They deliver rapid, responsive warmth to combat cooler evenings, keeping your home comfortable year-round. For eco-conscious consumers, these radiators support sustainable practices by reducing energy waste through targeted heating.
Trade installers will value the adaptability: select from various sizes and outputs to match diverse projects. Customisation is simple—opt for any RAL colour to blend with interiors, or discover our bespoke options for a personalised finish.
A Guide to Electric Radiators: Common Questions Answered
To help you make an informed choice, here are answers to some frequently asked questions about electric radiators, drawing on expert insights for efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and safety.
Are Electric Radiators Efficient?
Yes, electric radiators are remarkably efficient, converting 99.9% of the energy they consume into heat. Unlike central heating systems that lose heat through pipes, electric radiators deliver warmth directly to the room. You can achieve localised heating, selecting which rooms to warm rather than running the entire system, resulting in higher overall efficiency.
How Do Electric Radiators Work?
Electric radiators operate on a simple principle: electricity passes through a heating element, which warms the radiator's internal fluid or components. In the case of heat retention models like the DSR, ceramic tablets store and release heat gradually for sustained warmth.
Do Electric Radiators Use a Lot of Electricity?
Electric radiators are designed to be energy-efficient and cost-effective. Consumption depends on wattage, usage patterns, and room size. Models with programmable timers and thermostats, such as our DSR range, allow heating only when needed, significantly reducing electricity use. For instance, features like adaptive start and open-window detection prevent unnecessary operation.
How to Choose the Best Electric Radiator?
Consider energy efficiency, heating capacity, programmable features, and design. Look for models with precise thermostats, smart controls, and eco-friendly attributes. Reading customer reviews can also guide you—our products often receive high praise for performance in homes and offices.
How to Clean Electric Radiators?
Cleaning is straightforward. Ensure the radiator is off and unplugged. Use a soft cloth or vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or liquids to prevent surface damage. Regular upkeep maintains performance and longevity.
Are Electric Radiators Safe?
Absolutely. Unlike gas systems, they produce no harmful emissions. Our radiators include safety features like overheat protection and thermal cut-off switches to prevent hazards.
Can You Paint Electric Radiators?
Yes, but use high-temperature paint designed for radiators. Follow manufacturer guidelines to avoid affecting performance. Our heat retention radiators are available in any RAL colour as standard.
In summary, electric radiators provide an efficient, cost-effective, and safe heating option. Their versatility and eco-friendly design make them ideal for modern living, with advancements like ceramic tablets and smart controls enhancing energy savings.
