While it might finally be summer, now is the time to upgrade your radiators and get any other heating maintenance out of the way. Warmer days are generally a slower time for both installers as well as shops, meaning there are better deals to be had. When you’re not comfortable installing any new radiators yourself, you’re more likely to find a handyman who can take on the project without much delay.
Why Replace Your Radiators?
Did you know that typically radiators should be replaced every 15 to 20 years? Some might even require replacement after 10 years if not properly maintained. If you have radiators with cold spots, rust or any that need frequent (costly) repairs, you might be better off replacing them altogether.
Why Radiator Do I Need for My Rooms?
Did you know that there are heaters with different outputs? If you have a room that is hard to get warm, it might simply mean that you need to update that radiator with one that offers a higher output for the same energy levels. There are handy calculators online that can tell you the recommended heat output for your room. You’ll be able to check whether your current heater is adequate, or it is time for an upgrade.
While upgrading your radiator might seem like a big invest and a hassle, it could ultimately lead to savings in the long run as you won’t spend quite as much energy to heat up your home. Especially with current energy prices, you will win back your initial investment quite quickly.
Radiator Options
While there are many different radiator choices, you can never go wrong with a column radiator. Both stylish and efficient, online suppliers such as Trade Radiators stock a wide variety, meaning you are guaranteed to find one that fits your room, style, budget and heat output requirements. With quick delivery throughout the UK, you can kick-off your radiator replacement project quicker than you think.
Column radiators have the benefit over other styles that they provide a high heat output due to their design. Especially in rooms that tend to run cold, a column radiator might be exactly what you need.
Strapped for space or looking to create more room? Make sure to look into vertical radiators. This could give you the required boost in heat output whilst taking up less space. This is particularly ideal in tight, smaller spaces or in those spaces where you’re looking to open up a bit more wall space.
Match Your Interior Design with Your Radiator
Struggling to find a radiator in a colour that you like? Most radiators will come in either a white, anthracite, black or grey. However, you can now get radiators painted in custom colours. If you want a dusty rose, teal, mustard, or lime coloured radiator, there is nothing standing in your way to get exactly that.
Maximise Your Savings
If you link up any new radiators with a smart thermostat, you can even save even more money while heating your home. If you’d like to read more on how to do this, make sure to read our guide on smart thermostats.
