Electric Heaters

What is an electric heater and how does it work?

Electric heaters are devices used to convert electrical energy into heat, utilized in both industry and households. They consist of a heating element, which can be made from various materials (such as resistive wire, ceramics, or quartz) housed in an insulating enclosure. The electric current passing through the heating element generates heat based on the Joule effect, which is the transformation of electrical energy into thermal energy through the electrical resistance of the material.

How an electric heater works

When the heater is turned on, electric current flows through its heating element. The electrical resistance of the material causes electrical energy to be converted into thermal energy. This heat is then transferred to the heater's casing and from there to the environment - in this case, to the water or heating medium within the bathroom radiator. This heat is further distributed by the radiator, warming the room.

Heaters for bathroom radiators are particularly useful as they allow for temperature regulation in the bathroom, providing thermal comfort regardless of the season or the main heating system of the house.

This way, you can efficiently manage energy consumption, limiting it to the necessary minimum, and provide an additional source of heat during transitional periods when central heating may still be off.

Types of electric heaters

At mexen.pl, you can order electric heaters available in varying powers and several color variants - white, black, silver, gold, anthracite.

Choose the power of the heater:

• 300 W;
• 400 W;
• 450 W;
• 500 W;
• 600 W;
• 900 W;
• 1200 W.

What to pay attention to when choosing an electric heater?

Choosing the right electric heater is crucial if you want to ensure energy efficiency, safety, and long-lasting satisfaction from use.

Below are key aspects to consider when selecting an electric heater:

• heating power - expressed in watts (W), should be adjusted to the volume of the room where the heater will be installed. Too low of a power will be ineffective, while too high may lead to excessive energy consumption;
• temperature regulation - the ability to regulate temperature is important for ensuring comfort of use and energy efficiency. Heaters with built-in thermostats or the ability to connect an external temperature controller allow for precise adjustment of the temperature to individual needs;
• protections - important for the heater to be equipped with protective systems, such as overheating protection or dry running protection. This ensures protection for both the user and the device against damage;
• ease of installation and operation - the heater should be easy to install and operate. Pay attention to the length of the power supply cord, the ability to easily replace the heating element, and the availability of user manuals;
• brand - when choosing a heater, it's worth paying attention to the reputation of the manufacturer and opinions from other users. At mexen.pl, you have access to products that guarantee high quality and reliability.
