When it comes to radiators, electric ones tend to have a bad reputation. They are considered expensive and ugly. But this reputation is now ill-deserved. Yes, in the past, it used to be true that electric radiators were more expensive than central heating radiators, but as we move to renewable energy, this will become outdated. 

And because electric radiators are becoming more common, more manufacturers make them and they are experimenting with different designs, so they are no longer ugly.

In fact, in certain circumstances, electric radiators are the best choice. One such circumstance is in the bathroom. In this article, we are going to explore the benefits of electric bathroom radiators.

By the end of this article, you'll understand why this style of radiators becoming increasingly popular for use in the bathroom.

You Can Use Them Throughout the Year

The biggest advantage in having an electric radiator in your bathroom is that you can switch it on the entire year without having to switch on the rest of your radiators and central heating system.

With central heating radiators, you can switch them on whenever you want, but during the summer, you will have to switch on your entire central heating system. You can switch off each individual radiator, but hot water will still be pumped through the pipes and this will make your house feel warm. Given that global warming has made the UK hotter than ever, added warmth is not what you want in the summer.

By using an electric radiator in your bathroom, you can keep it on throughout the year without making the rest of the house hot. Some people like to keep their radiators on in the bathroom so that they can dry their towels every day.

They Are Easier To Programme

You can program an electric radiator individually. With central heating, you can only program the entire system. With the bathroom radiator, it's unlikely that you require heat throughout the day. You will just want to heat the room in the morning or whenever it is that you shower/bath.  Or you will want to dry your towels, which only takes a few hours to do.

That means that you only need heat in your bathroom for a very limited period throughout the year.  You can buy electric bathroom radiators that are programmable so you can set the time for whatever time is convenient. For example, you can set it to come on between 9 and 12 in the morning and then 9 and 12 in the evening.

This is much more efficient than central heating programs and it will help to save you money on your energy bills long-term.

They Are Easy to Install

The final reason to go for electric radiators in your bathroom is that they are easy to install. You just need to hook them up to the electricity supply, which runs throughout the house, and you're good to go. With central heating, you have to make sure that you have the pipework present, and if you don't, it can be expensive to have it installed.

I hope that you now understand the benefits of this style of radiator for your bathroom. They really are a fantastic choice.
