Electric heating

Electric heating – fast, comfortable and smart room heating

Electric heating is a practical solution when you want to heat a room quickly and efficiently without central heating or a gas connection. With a modern electric heater or convector, you heat only the room where warmth is actually needed, such as a living room, bedroom, home office, workspace or holiday home.

At waterheater.shop, you can find electric convector heaters with electronic temperature control and smart functions such as Wi-Fi, timers and weekly programming. The range includes the Thermex Frame E Wi-Fi series in 1000, 1500 and 2000 W, allowing you to select the heating output that best suits the size and requirements of the room.

What is electric heating?

Electric heating converts electricity directly into heat. An electric convector warms the air that passes along the heating element. The warm air then rises naturally, creating air circulation throughout the room.

A key advantage is that no central heating system or gas pipework is required. A suitable electrical connection is sufficient.

Electric heating is particularly suitable as:

supplementary heating

heating for a home office

heating for a bedroom

heating for a holiday home or chalet

temporary heating

heating for rooms without a radiator

targeted heating for one specific room

What is an electric convector heater?

A convector heater mainly warms the surrounding air. Cooler air passes along the electric heating element, warms up and rises naturally.

This allows the temperature in the room to increase gradually and evenly without the need for a powerful fan.

Modern electric convectors combine this simple heating principle with electronic thermostats, programmable functions and Wi-Fi control.

Electric heating with Wi-Fi

A Wi-Fi electric heater offers more control than a basic mechanical heater.

Thermex Frame E Wi-Fi models can be controlled using the Thermex Home app. This allows you to adjust the room temperature and heating settings conveniently from a smartphone.

Depending on the model and settings, available functions can include:

switching the heater on or off remotely

setting the desired temperature

selecting the heating output

setting a daily programme

creating a weekly programme

using a timer

activating the child lock

This makes it easier to match the heating schedule to the times when the room is actually being used.

What size electric heater do I need?

The required heating output depends mainly on room size, insulation, outside temperature, ceiling height and the desired indoor temperature.

As a general guide within the Thermex Frame range:

1000 W: suitable for smaller rooms

1500 W: suitable for small to medium-sized rooms

2000 W: suitable for medium-sized to larger rooms

A well-insulated bedroom may require considerably less heating power than a poorly insulated workshop with the same floor area.

For this reason, do not look only at the number of square metres. The thermal characteristics of the room are equally important.

Thermex Frame 1000E Wi-Fi

The Thermex Frame 1000E Wi-Fi is the compact model in the range and features two power settings of 500 and 1000 W.

This model is particularly suitable for smaller rooms where compact electric heating or targeted supplementary heating is required.

Thermex Frame 1500E Wi-Fi

With power settings of 750 and 1500 W, the Thermex Frame 1500E Wi-Fi provides greater heating capacity.

It is a good choice for bedrooms, offices, workspaces and other medium-sized rooms.

Thermex Frame 2000E Wi-Fi

For higher heating requirements, the Thermex Frame 2000E Wi-Fi offers power settings of 1000 and 2000 W.

It is the most powerful model in the current Frame range and is intended for rooms where more heating output is required.

Wall-mounted or freestanding electric heating

Flexible installation is an important advantage of modern convector heaters.

Thermex Frame models can be permanently wall-mounted, keeping floor space free and creating a clean, space-saving installation.

Alternatively, the convector can be used freestanding with the supplied floor supports and castors.

This means the same heater can, for example, be used in a home office during the day and moved to another room in the evening.

Electric heating as supplementary heating

An electric convector is especially useful as supplementary heating.

Instead of increasing the temperature throughout the entire home, you can heat only the room you are currently using.

This can be particularly useful for:

a home office

a guest room

a hobby room

a bedroom

a workspace

a holiday home

a room that is not heated sufficiently by the central heating system

Targeted room heating can help avoid unnecessarily heating other parts of the building.

Is electric heating energy efficient?

An electric heater converts almost all of the electricity it uses into heat at the point of use. However, actual heating costs are mainly determined by the power rating, operating time, selected temperature and heat loss from the room.

An electronic thermostat and sensible scheduling can help reduce unnecessary heating.

Practical ways to control energy use include:

heat only rooms that are actually being used

do not set the temperature higher than necessary

use a timer or weekly programme

keep windows and doors closed while heating

reduce draughts and heat loss

choose a suitable heating output for the room

A lower wattage does not automatically mean lower total energy consumption. An undersized heater may have to run much longer to reach the same room temperature.

Electric heating without gas

Electric heating does not require natural gas, a flue system or a fuel tank.

This makes an electric convector particularly useful in homes and buildings without a gas connection or where extending an existing central heating system is not desirable.

For local heating in a single room, there is also no need to install a complete central heating system.

Quiet electric heating

A convector that works through natural air circulation does not require a powerful fan for normal heat distribution.

This makes this type of electric heating particularly suitable for rooms where quiet operation is important, such as bedrooms, offices and study rooms.

Electric heater with thermostat

An adjustable thermostat prevents an electric heater from running continuously at full power.

You set the desired room temperature and the electronic control switches the heating on or off according to the measured temperature.

Combined with Wi-Fi and weekly programming, this allows the heating to be matched much more closely to daily use than a basic heater with only an on/off switch.

Using electric heating safely

Always use electric heating in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Modern Thermex Frame convectors include various safety features such as overheating protection, tip-over protection and child lock.

Make sure the air openings remain unobstructed and never cover the heater while it is in use.

Only use the appliance in rooms and conditions for which the specific model is intended.

Which electric heater should I choose?

When comparing electric heating products, the following features are especially important:

Power: choose a suitable wattage for the room

Thermostat: for automatic temperature control

Wi-Fi: for remote control via smartphone

Programming: for automatic heating schedules

Installation: wall-mounted, freestanding or both

Dimensions: important where space is limited

Safety features: such as overheating and tip-over protection

By comparing these features, it becomes easier to select an electric heater that suits both the room and the intended use.
