Understanding your radiator
The inside of your radiator has fireclay plates that are heated up by the electrical
element. The hot plates transmit the heat to the metal body, making the room warm
by radiant heat. Radiant heat is like the sun shining on you, it makes you feel lovely
and warm. The hollow flutes on the front and back of the radiator create convection
heat by touching the cool air that’s lower in the room which then warms naturally as
it rises through the flutes. As the air rises through the flutes it heats more and more
and quickly heats all of the air in the room.
Your radiator has a built in thermostat which means that it will heat your room to
whatever temperature you want it to be. Once the radiator has heated your room to
its set point, it will click off. It then comes back on to compensate for any heat loss, so
when it falls below your set point. This keeps your room at an accurate temperature.
The better the insulation is in your room, the less often the radiator will come on.
Normally, if your room is cool, such as first thing in the morning or when it has been
off all day, your radiator will have to work really hard and will get quite warm when it
is trying to achieve your set point, but once its got there, it will just click on and off at
a luke warm temperature to maintain the temperature, so don’t worry if its only
warm and not hot, it is just doing its job.
