Electric wall heaters: A guide to installation, maintenance and safety

Electric wall heaters

Electric wall heaters are an excellent option for heating your home or business. To make the most of their features, you need to know how to install them, how to maintain them properly, and how to use them safely. 

At Haverland, we provide information on all these aspects of electric wall heaters and also highlight the basic points of their operation, efficiency, and key advantages.

Installation of electric wall heaters

Location

The electric wall heater should be installed on a wall or in a place where it can distribute heat effectively. It is not advisable to place them behind furniture or curtains.

Electrical connection

You must have an electrical connection nearby to plug in your electric heater. If not, you may need to install one. In this case, the installation should be carried out by a professional electrician. Electric radiators or heaters should be connected to a separate circuit to avoid overloads. Additionally, the installation must comply with the safety regulations of each region or country.

Mounting

Electric wall heaters should be fixed with appropriate brackets and checked to be level. Ensure that the surface is strong enough to support the weight of the device.

Maintenance of electric wall heaters

Cleaning

You should clean the radiator regularly with a dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation. It is important not to use liquid or abrasive products that could damage the surface.

Periodic inspections

Periodically check that there are no damaged cables or loose connections.

Operational issues

If you notice that the unit makes strange noises or does not heat evenly, consult a technician immediately.

Safe use of electric wall heaters

Do not cover

Make sure the heater is not covered by furniture, curtains, or other objects that could block air circulation.

Child safety

The heater should be out of reach of young children to prevent burns or other accidents.

Unplugging

If the device is not in use for long periods, it is better to unplug it to avoid electrical risks.

Features, efficiency, and advantages of electric wall heaters

Operation

Electric wall radiators or heaters use heating elements to raise the temperature of the air in the room. The hot air rises, creating natural circulation.

Efficiency

They are notable for their efficiency in heating small spaces or as additional heating. Efficiency can vary by model, but they usually convert almost all electrical energy into heat.

Advantages

Easy installation

They do not require a network of pipes or complicated installation. For example, the Ecojule electric accumulator has advanced features like a TFT screen, NTC temperature sensor, or WiFi support system via APP.

Individual control

They facilitate temperature management in different rooms independently. The Haverland Geo-Dry electric radiator stands out for its intelligent operation, maximising the integration between heating, connectivity, and technology.

Low maintenance

They do not require complex maintenance compared to central heating systems that need more maintenance effort.

Functional and versatile design

They come in various sizes and styles, adapting to different decorations and the needs of each home.

Remember, electric wall heaters are easy to install and require minimal maintenance, making them a good choice if you are looking for an efficient heating system for your home. Haverland UK is a company specialising in electric radiators, heat emitters, and smart heating in the UK.
