Where to buy new central heating radiators?

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy new double panel convector radiators in or around Belfast?

We need to replace a couple and, from doing a web search, there seems to be a vast difference in price from place to place and between makes. Is one make really any more efficient than the rest?

Nothing in our house seems to be a standard size and ideally we need ones that are an in-between height (450mm). B&Q do some 400mm high which would do but are they likely to better value than trying a plumbing supplier?

Check out the Myson range, they do different heights and widths. Premier HE is probably the best value for money.

Most sizes are stocked by plumb centre, they do good discounts if you ask nicely

Cheers, Des.

I see that Myson make round top radiators and compact ones. What's the difference apart from how they look?

Our existing ones are round top double panel. We want to replace them with double panel 400 - 450mm high (we have huge windows and the existing 500mm high radiators sit too close to the window ledge). We want to keep them as short as possible lengthwise but reckon we'll need each one to have an output of at least 5000 BTU.

The list price of the Myson Premier HE is working out at almost 4 times the price of a similar output compact model from B&Q!

When we were replacing radiators, after checking out B&Q, we found we got a better price, and exactly what we needed at a small local plumbers, and they were more than glad to advise us how to do the work.
