Searching for electric radiators

[ETradesmen]

Good evening all, I just wanted to pick your brains regarding electric radiators.

I am due to purchase a property and want to install very basic but very good oil filled radiators which can be controlled via a central stat (through a contactor).

I have installed thousands of these which all have been individually controlled. These are ok but would much prefer ones that need an external stat to switch them on (ideally wired).

I don’t want eco settings or 24/7 timings I’d prefer a good old fashioned heater!

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Energy efficiency regulations have come into force which probably impact what you are wanting to do, and indeed what heaters you can obtain legitimately!
To quote the interweb: "Lot 20 requires any installed electric heater manufactured from January 2018 to have an electronic thermostat with a 24-hour, 7 day timer with either adaptive start or an open window sensor"

Worth reading up on LOT20, because I suspect you ought to implement the efficiency requirements (like open window detection, timer, and local thermostats)

As per @Avo Mk8 you won't get an old fashioned heater due to LOT 20. They will all have the inbuilt controls now. I don't do much with regards to electric heating, but my office has a 2kW Stiebel Eltron panel which is controlled solely by a Hive stat - it doesn't require a contactor as only the control part goes through the stat itself,
