Electric heater installation Worcester
NWE Solutions are experts in the installation and maintenance of electric heaters and cover Worcestershire and surrounding counties. We are Part P registered so you can be assured that you’re in safe hands when it comes to helping you determine the best electric heaters for your home and the best locations for them to be fitted.
As experienced electric heater and heating system installers we can help you with determining what heating radiators you need. For instance, you may be considering panel heaters or storage heaters depending on what you want from them in terms of convected or radiated heat. However, there are new heating products coming onto the market including hybrid panel heaters. These provide an initial burst of heat from their metallic elements but then provide a steady stream of ongoing warmth from ceramic tablets. We can help advise you on what will suit you best with a free site survey to evaluate your needs.
You may also need help with determining the best way of controlling these heaters. We are very experienced in installing the most up-to-date smart thermostats to get the most from your heating system. Finally, you may have already invested in the heaters you want but have realised that you don’t have the number of sockets or spurs actually required. Again we can help you install these efficiently so it has no impact on your existing available sockets.
Going fully electric
You may be looking at having a fully electric heating system that includes how water as well. We can provide you with advice on the best water heater to suit your needs. We can work in conjunction with plumbers to tackle this. We can also with the wiring of your solar panels to provide a fully electric solution that removes the need for gas completely. This may be a particular concern to people who are looking to move away from a reliance on fossil fuels or live in a remote area that doesn’t have a mains gas supply.
Considering DIY installation? How NWE installers can help you
Of course, you may be wanting to just buy a few stand-alone heaters to cover some rooms and this can be an attractive option from a cost perspective. However, at NWE we provide electric heating systems that can more closely resemble a gas radiator or central heating system. This means having wall-mounted thermostats that can control various zones and schedules like a more traditional heating system. This harnessed with say smart thermostats and water heaters can provide a whole heating system solution that is highly responsive at a fraction of the cost of a traditional heating system.
Why choose Electric Heating over Central Heating Systems or Gas Radiators?
You may not be entirely certain whether electric radiators are the right option for you at this point and we can help advise you with a free site visit to your home. However, there are a number of reasons why you may want to consider electric heating over more conventional gas central heating.
Cheap to install
Since we're installing to your existing electrical circuit the process can be a matter of minutes as opposed to hours with plumbing and pipework needed for gas radiators or ductwork for central heating.
Minimum Disruption
You can have an entire system fitted in your home in a matter of a few hours. We can work around you with next to no noise or extensive changes to the fabric of your home since we're not fitting boilers or having to fit pipework or ducting throughout your home.
Modularity
It can be very easy to add more electric radiators as stand-alone units or as part of a system. This can be ideal where you're looking at say an extension or changing the functions of rooms without having to consider further extensive work pipework or ducting changes.
Budget-friendly to install
You might not be able to afford a whole new central heating or gas radiator system but with electric radiators, you can add them in as and when you can afford them.
Low Lifetime Ownership Cost
If you only look at the cost of electricity is compared with other fuels then of course it can be very easy to see electric heating as a non-starter. However, when you take into account initial capital install cost for say, gas heating systems along with ongoing maintenance costs then the choice isn't so clear cut.
Low Maintenance
There is very little that can go wrong with an electric radiator when compared to the wide range of moving parts, joints and pipework of other heating systems. There is also the fact that you don't need to have the commitment to regular annual servicing that a gas boiler is recommended to have. Oh, and of course you'll never have to bleed a radiator again!
Ecological Impact
Of course, it very much depends on where you're electricity is derived from but more and more electricity providers are providing electricity from completely renewable energy sources. Of course, this all the more a consideration if you are generating much of your electricity through your own solar panel array!
Adaptability
With the rise in home working due to the COVID crisis many people are looking at say home offices n their garages or in garden offices separate from the rest of the home. Electric heaters can be ideal for these areas where having extensive pipework or ducting from the main residence would be a highly expensive and disruptive option.

Electric Heating Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install an electric heating system?
Of course, it will very much depend on the number of heaters and the supporting thermostats, that you want to be installed. Other issues may also include laying down wiring for auxiliary buildings and integrating with any existing systems you may wish to combine. To get an accurate quote we always recommend a free site survey from us to determine the extent of the job. We can also possibly suggest alternatives to what you may have in mind which could reduce the cost.
How do you hook up an electric heater?
Do electric radiators just plug in?
For many electric radiators, this can be the case and it can seem an easy option to do this yourself. Of course, picking this option can deny you many plug sockets that you require for your day-to-day running of the house. It can then seem attractive to start introducing extensions or multi-plug sockets to address this issue. However, there may be a risk of overloading the circuit when using high voltage devices like heating products such as radiators through them. So getting a qualified electrician involved who may provide additional spurs dedicated to your heating system can be prudent.
