The truth about energy labelling exemptions for solid state electric radiators

Are you in the market for a solid state electric radiator? If so, you may have noticed that some companies provide information on the energy efficiency and performance of their heaters, while others do not. But did you know that some of these claims may be misleading?

As a responsible consumer, it is important to be aware of these potential issues and take steps to ensure you are making an informed purchase decision. Here are some things to keep in mind when shopping for solid state electric radiators:

Energy labelling requirements

In the UK, all heating appliances must meet certain energy labelling requirements, which are designed to help consumers make informed choices about the energy efficiency of the products they are considering. The labels show the energy efficiency rating of the appliance, as well as other key information such as its heat output and annual energy consumption.

However, it is important to note that electric radiators are currently exempt from these labelling requirements. This means that companies are not required to provide this information to consumers when marketing their products.

Misleading claims by competitors

Unfortunately, some companies may take advantage of this exemption and provide misleading information about the energy efficiency and performance of their electric radiators. For example, they may claim that their heaters are more efficient than they actually are, or that they can heat a room more quickly than is realistic.

It is important to be cautious when evaluating these claims and to do your own research to verify the accuracy of the information provided. Look for independent reviews and third-party testing data to get a more accurate picture of how well the electric radiator will perform.

Choosing a reliable and trustworthy supplier 

To ensure that you are purchasing a quality product from a trustworthy supplier, it is important to do your research and choose a company with a good reputation. Look for suppliers who have a history of providing high-quality products and excellent customer service, and who are transparent about their product specifications and performance claims.
