Electric radiators: what they are, how they work, how to install them
Electric radiators have been specially created to meet the needs of end users who cannot (or do not want to) intervene on their plumbing system. In fact, electric radiators do not require any type of hydraulic connection: an electrical socket is sufficient for their operation. The radiator power must be calculated on the basis of the square footage of the rooms it has to heat and for this calculation you will need the support of your trusted plumber or a heating engineer. Electric radiators work thanks to a resistance which, once activated, heats up and therefore allows the radiator to emit heat. There are different types of resistors, with more or less advanced technology: from simple on / off (on / off) to those regulated with thermostat and wi-fi control. Electric radiators can be installed in any room of the house thanks to the multitude of models and shapes available and above all to the color charts that allow you to perfectly match your radiator to the colors of the house. For the bathroom, towel warmers are usually installed, which have the same electrical operation as the radiators but, being made of bars, are specifically designed to house the towels. Also for the towel warmers, design and colors are studied to adapt to any bathroom environment. In closing, mixed operation radiators are worth a couple of words. Mixed operation radiators are basically traditional radiators (so they are connected to the plumbing system and work with the boiler): with the addition of a special resistance, it is possible to operate them in electric mode as well. Mixed operation is useful, for example, for mid-seasons when the boiler has not yet been re-ignited but you still need to heat some room in the house, such as the bathroom.
