Electric wall panel radiator suggestions?

1.3K Posts


The super-expensive Dimplex Low Surface Temperature radiator I have in my bedroom has packed in after only a couple of years of running... you guessed it: beyond the warranty period.
If I can buy expensive rubbish, I can also buy cheaper rubbish and save a few pennies. Can anyone suggest a suitable, reasonably cheap-and-cheerful replacement which they themselves have installed/used? Does not have to be LST.

are you on E7?
How much time do you spend in your bedroom & how well insulated is your flat/house?
Just average insulation. Sorry can't be more specific.
I have been informed by the electrician we called out that it's beyond repair. He seemed honest... but then don't they all?
So get the cheapest that looks OK and has the features you want.
Storage heaters are completely different and it pays to buy a better one.

24 timer is very useful and can easily be switched between OFF/TIMER/ON modes.
Wall mountable too.
Convector type so will heat up and cool down quickly but gives exactly the same output as any other equivalent rated heater regardless of cost.
