Gone are the days when electric heaters were expensive to run and only used as a last resort for broken, under-performing, or an absence of central heating. Modern panel heaters are not only really economical to run - with many being Lot 20 Compliant, meaning very energy efficient - but can also look really stylish. No wonder then that many are actively choosing panel heaters as their primary heat source.

Here are some great examples of panel heaters that offer a range of features, different types of heating, and look really good as well – style as well as substance!

Heatstore Intellipanel Plus Wall Mounted Panel Heater with 24/7 Timer

This heater is one of the most advanced panel heaters on the market and is packed with features. It boasts intelligent technology including eco start delayed anticipatory control. This means that the heater anticipates the optimum period to reach the desired temperature at the right time. You know then, that if you want a certain temperature for 5pm, it will be that temperature at 5pm and it won’t start heating up a minute too soon.

It also has open window detection; shutting down if a window is open and heat would be wasted, a 24/7 timer, a thermostat accurate to 0.2°, and even an audio feedback system for users with vision impairments.

The Heatstore Intellipanel Plus Wall Mounted Panel Heater with 24/7 Timer starts at £259.50. See it here

Sunburst Wall Mounted Radiant Panel Heater with Thermostat

This is an interesting heater because it works using radiant heat, rather than convection. In simple terms, radiant heat warms the objects in the room, including furniture, walls, and people. This then reflects heat around the space. Convective heat warms the air and then allows it to circulate around the room. Radiant heat reaches optimum temperature faster and is more efficient.

This heater is IP24 rated so is suitable for bathrooms and can be used wall-mounted or free-standing. If you want something with a retro look, it’s perfect for you!

The Sunburst Wall Mounted Radiant Panel Heater with Thermostat is priced at £133.50. See it here

Ducasa Vitro-i Glass Electric Panel Radiant Heater

This beautiful heater is as stunning to look at as it is both efficient and effective to run. Its sleek, glass design (available in black or white) makes it as much of a design feature in any room as a functional device. It uses both radiant and convective heat to combine the best of both methods and the thermostat has 0.1° of accuracy.

It has a 24/7 timer, open window detection, and is compatible with the Smart Command APP.

The Ducasa Vitro-i Glass Electric Panel Radiant Heater starts at £492.50. See it here.
