Hi,
In picking a new radiator for a room, I've noticed that BTU figures seem to differ considerably between sites and manufacturers.
As an example, a Double panel 1000w x 500h panel from B&Q (Kudos brand) states 1.476Kw whereas from Homebase (Quinn brand) stated 1.662Kw - a difference of 12.5%.
Are some radiator brands more efficient than others or is this down to some other factor such as calculation points? If there is a difference between brands then is there a recommended brand for the best efficiency?
