Ceramic Heaters: Why they are an excellent Choice for your home
Advances in heating technology have revolutionised the way we keep our homes warm during the winter. Among these innovations, ceramic heaters have gained popularity for their efficient performance and safety features. Let’s take a closer look at the characteristics of ceramic heaters, their technology, and how Haverland UK, a company specialising in electric radiators, heat emitters, and smart heating in the UK, is leading the way in these trends.
What are ceramic heaters?
Ceramic heaters, like Haverland’s GEO-Dry model, are known for their ability to heat quickly and evenly. These radiators use ceramic elements that store and gradually release heat, maintaining a constant temperature for longer periods. This translates to significant energy savings, as they require less power to retain heat compared to other types of electric radiators.
How do ceramic heaters work?
Ceramic radiators have a core made of ceramic material that retains heat even after being turned off. This thermal inertia allows heaters to continue emitting warmth, helping to reduce energy consumption.
Key features of ceramic heaters
Ceramic heaters are known for offering multiple benefits for your home. Below, we break down their main features to help you understand why they could be a great option for you.
Fast and even heating
Thanks to the ceramic elements, these radiators reach the desired temperature much faster than other types of electric radiators. This makes them an ideal solution if you need to quickly warm a room or want a heater that responds swiftly to changes in temperature.
Efficient heat retention
Ceramic heaters store and release heat gradually, allowing them to maintain a constant temperature for longer. While they don’t retain heat as long as oil-filled radiators, they are quite efficient in homes where heating is turned on and off frequently.
Energy savings
Since they don’t take long to reach the appropriate temperature, ceramic heaters can be more efficient in situations where intermittent heat is needed. This results in more controlled energy consumption compared to systems that take longer to heat up.
Advanced safety
Many ceramic heater models, such as the GEO-Dry from Haverland, come equipped with safety features like thermal safety limiters in case of overheating.
What heating system should I buy for my UK home?
When deciding which heating system is best for you, it’s essential to consider your specific needs, the size of the room, and how you use the heating.
When to choose a ceramic heater
Ceramic heaters are an excellent choice if you’re looking for:
Fast heating
If you need immediate warmth in rooms that cool down quickly, such as living rooms or bedrooms.
Intermittent use
They are ideal for homes where heating is turned on and off several times a day, as they reach the temperature quickly without wasting excess energy.
Safety and control
If safety is a priority, their advanced overheat protection features offer peace of mind.
When to opt for an Oil-Filled Radiator?
If you’re looking for continuous and long-lasting heat, an oil-filled radiator might be more suitable. For example, Haverland’s ULTRAD or ECO-RADI (Designer XRI) electric radiators are perfect for situations where you need:
Prolonged heat
Oil-filled radiators retain heat for longer, meaning they continue warming the room even after being turned off.
Large spaces
If you need to heat larger areas or maintain a stable temperature for many hours, oil-filled radiators are more efficient in terms of long-term energy consumption.
Low energy consumption
Once the temperature is reached, these radiators need less energy to maintain the warmth, which can lead to savings on electricity bills.
Therefore, ceramic heaters are an excellent option for those seeking fast and efficient heating, especially in smaller or medium-sized rooms with intermittent use. However, if you need to maintain a constant temperature in larger spaces or are looking for optimised long-term energy consumption, oil-filled radiators such as the ULTRAD or the ECO-RADI may be the best choice.
Haverland UK offers a range of products tailored to different needs, combining advanced technology, safety, and efficiency. Whether you choose a ceramic heater or an oil-filled electric radiator, with Haverland, you’re always investing in quality and comfort.
