Electric towel rails
Our towel rails keep bathrooms warm and towels dry, with no plumbing work needed. Slimline designs suit smaller bathrooms and cloakrooms.
Sunamp water heaters
Sunamp heat batteries are a compact alternative to a traditional hot water cylinder, which makes them a practical choice for smaller Devon homes where storage space is tight. There’s no annual service, and they work with solar panels.

Homes, holiday lets and everything in between
From cob and stone cottages on Dartmoor to holiday lets on both coasts, Devon’s homes ask a lot of their heating.
Off the gas grid
Around 24% of South West homes are off the mains gas grid, and plenty of Devon is among them, from Exmoor’s edge to the South Hams. Electric radiators mean no oil tank, no deliveries and no boiler.
Stone cottages and farmhouses
Many Devon homes were built long before modern insulation standards. Our radiators fit straight to the wall with no pipework, and we size each one room by room at the survey, so hard-to-heat rooms get the output they need.
A damp, coastal climate
Each radiator warms up quickly and runs to its own schedule, so you can respond to a cold, damp spell straight away and hold slow-to-warm rooms at a steady temperature.
Efficient and maintenance-free
Electric radiators are 100% efficient at the point of use, turning all the electricity they draw into heat in the room. There’s no annual service to book, so upkeep is simple.
How they workA more sustainable option
Electric heating burns no fossil fuel in your home, and how green it is overall depends on where your electricity comes from. We also support the planting of one tree for every installation we complete.

What a Devon customer says
“We were pleasantly surprised that we didn’t need as many radiators as we thought. Yet still had enough to heat all the rooms exactly as we wanted.”Louisa Chanter Tavistock, Devon
That’s what the survey is for. Every property is different, so we measure each room and recommend the sizes and output it actually needs, not a radiator for every wall.
Storage heater replacement
Night storage heater replacements in Devon
Many Devon homeowners come to us to replace their old storage heaters with electric radiators. Storage heaters charge overnight and release that heat through the day whether it’s needed or not, which makes them hard to control and can leave rooms cold by the evening.
Electric radiators heat a room when you want it, with each one controlled on its own. We take the old heaters away and recycle them for you.
Thinking of replacing your old night storage heaters? Here are some signs it might be time:
- Poor control: heat is released on a fixed schedule, whether you need it or not, and can’t easily be adjusted room by room.
- Rising running costs: your bills are climbing, and storage heaters give you little room to bring them down by heating only the rooms you use.
- Unreliable heat: most of the stored warmth is released early in the day, leaving rooms cold by evening, when you need it most.

Common questions
Electric heating in Devon: FAQs
How much does electric heating installation cost in Devon?
It depends on the size of your property, the number of rooms being fitted and the radiators you choose. Every job starts with a free, no-obligation survey, so your quote is based on your actual home rather than a generic estimate.
Can I replace my old storage heater with an electric radiator?
Yes, it’s one of the most common jobs we do in Devon. We remove and recycle your old storage heaters and fit modern electric radiators in their place.
Do electric radiators work in an older or poorly insulated Devon home?
Yes. They heat up quickly and each one is set individually, which helps in older, stone-built homes where some rooms hold heat better than others. Your surveyor sizes each radiator for its room, and good insulation will always help keep costs down.
How long does electric heating installation take?
With no boiler or pipework to fit, most installations are done in a day, including removing and recycling your old heaters.
Are electric radiators expensive to run in Devon?
It depends on your tariff, the size and insulation of your home and how you use your heating, so there’s no single figure that’s right for every home. Electric radiators turn all the electricity they use into heat in the room, and room-by-room control means you only heat the rooms you’re using. Your surveyor can give you an estimate for your home, and our running costs page explains how it works.
Do you offer free quotes and surveys across Devon?
Yes. Our local surveyor covers the whole county and leaves you with a free, no-obligation written quote at the end of the visit.
