What’s the most efficient type of wall heater to replace an old one?

[Gary111]

Hi, I have a rental property where one of the wall heaters has broken.
It was Atlantic 117 model 1250w

I want to try to improve the Epc rating if possible with whatever I replace it with.
I think ones with timers on help improve the rating slightly?

I’ve also seen wi fi ones ( from more obscure manufacturers on Amazon) they say they are lot 20 compliant.

Which sort is the best to improve the Epc?

Also is it worth me fitting timers on the other heaters ? They would cost around 30 pounds each .

Thanks

if an electric heater is using 1250w then it is delivering 1250w of heat

at 1250w, a timer will have to save the heater being on for 96 hours to get that extra cost back

Thanks, it’s more that I need to improve the Epc rating to jump through government hoops rather than anything that actually makes sense.

Then work on insulation and draughtproofing. No doubt you have already converted all the light bulbs to LEDs and insulated the pipes.

What does your EPC say?

All electric heaters are equally energy-efficient. They all turn 1 kWh of electrical energy into 1 kWh of heat energy.

To reduce your cost-efficiency, buy more expensive heaters. Or a heat-pump.
