If you're a property developer then you'll be used to the whirlwind of decisions that need making to make a successful renovation come together. From electrics and appliances through to security and insulation, there's a ridiculous amount to consider. One of the real headaches for property developers, especially those with properties in flats, is how to heat the place. Wall-mounted electric radiators are an obvious choice when a gas central heating is just too much upheaval, but they may have more going for them than you might think. Here are 4 incredible benefits of installing wall-mounted electric radiators in your property...
1. You don't need to spend a fortune installing them
Obviously one of the biggest considerations for property developers is cost. You develop a propertry and sell it on, you put the place up for rent and it can form a steady income, but for all that to work you need to make your investment worth it - and that means keeping costs down. Wall-mounted electric radiators are a perfect choice for such situations, because they don't require any special treatment. As well as being one of the more energy efficient and cost effective ways of heating a property, they're also ludicrously easy to install. Unless you're hardwiring them in, there's no need for an electrician, and with little more than a screwdriver and a pencil you can have one successfully mounted and up and running within 10 minutes. Wall sockets can be descreet, and thousands of properties don't bother hardwiring them in - it doesn't effect the efficiency or running of them at all. Electric Radiators Direct have a range of radiators that come with everything you need to get started, complete with templates, wall brackets and standard UK 3-pin plugs already attached. Simply mount, plug in and go.
2. They require next to no maintenance
Another big consideration for landlords and property owners is ongoing cost. You don't want to install a system that you know is going to break down in a few years and cost you a fortune to repair. Unfortunately, that's a natural symptom of most traditional heating solutions - gas boilers break down, old convection heaters get dusty and clunkly, and water radiators need to be bled - but not with wall mounted electric radiators. They're clean, silent and have no moving parts. In fact, the RC Wave unit from Haverland comes with a 10 year guarantee and a lifetime warranty on the body of the radiator - that's how confident manufacturers are that these things don't break down.
3. They're easy to program and use
Another consideration is how any tenants or future owners might take to the type of heating you've chosen. You may even choose to look after the heating yourself, if you're the one paying the bills. Wall mounted electric radiators are, again, perfect for this. You'll have complete control over each individual room - its temperature, its schedule and when it comes off and on. For your tenants, they'll have more control over their home heating than ever before, and for you, you'll be able to set them and leave them ticking over when the property is unoccupied.
4. They're a safeguard against mould and mildew
This is enough to get any property developer's attention. Mould and mildew are an expensive problem for property owners. There's nothing worse than getting a call from your tenant about mould on the ceiling or rot on the skirting boards due to cold and rain. While wall-mounted electric radiators can't completely protect your property from mould (for that you'd need to look at wider issues like insulation, windows, brick work etc), the right model will ensure there are no cold spots in the room. Cold spots are natural with older heating methods like traditional convection heat (your average gas central heating system), but newer electric radiator models distribute heat in a different way - smooth, even and constant. That mouldy patch on the ceiling in the spare room? Who'd have thought an electric radiator could be the answer...!
