FAQs

  • Are modern electric heaters expensive to run in the UK?

    While electricity electricity unit rates can be higher than gas, modern electric heaters are incredibly cost-effective because they are 100% efficient at the point of use—every watt of electricity drawn is converted directly into heat. Furthermore, because you can program and zone each room independently rather than running a massive central boiler to heat the whole building, you drastically reduce wasted energy.

  • What does Lot 20 compliant mean for electric heating?

    Lot 20 is a strict EU and UK eco-design regulation aimed at reducing energy consumption. For an electric heater to be compliant, it must feature smart, energy-saving technologies such as electronic room temperature controls, weekly timers, and open-window detection. All electric heating solutions supplied by Simco Direct meet these high efficiency standards.

  • Do I need a professional electrician to install an electric heater?

    It depends on how the unit is powered. Many of our electric wall heaters come equipped with a standard UK 3-pin plug and simple wall brackets, making them a straightforward DIY installation. However, for bathroom installations (where strict zone regulations apply) or if you prefer to have the unit cleanly hardwired into a fused spur, a qualified professional electrician must carry out the work.

  • Can electric heaters be safely used in bathrooms?

    Yes, but you must select a heater with the correct IP (Ingress Protection) rating. For bathroom safety, look for a heater rated at least IP24, which means it is protected against water splashes from any direction. Always ensure that any bathroom heating elements are positioned safely outside of Zone 0 and Zone 1 areas and are installed by a professional.

  • What is the difference between a convector heater and an electric radiator?

    Convector heaters work by drawing cold air over an internal heating element, warming it instantly, and letting it rise into the room—perfect for rapid, on-demand heat. Electric radiators, on the other hand, often contain a heat-retaining fluid or ceramic core. They take slightly longer to warm up but continue to radiate a steady, comfortable heat into the fabric of the room long after the power element switches off, making them ideal for primary, long-term heating.
