What we fit
Our electric heating solutions for Somerset homes
German electric radiators
radTherm electric radiators are our most popular product: German-engineered and designed for precise, room-by-room control. Each radiator runs to its own schedule and temperature, which helps if some rooms hold heat better than others.

Why homes in Somerset choose electric heating
From the Levels to the Exmoor hills, a lot of Somerset is rural, old and a long way from the gas main.
Off the gas grid
According to the House of Commons Library, 24% of South West homes were off the mains gas grid in 2024, the second highest of any English region. Electric radiators don’t need a gas connection at all.
Older, rural properties
Much of Somerset is rural, with many older, stone-built homes. Electric radiators are fitted without the pipework a gas system would need, so there’s no disruptive retrofit to work around.
Exmoor and the hill villages
Homes in and around Exmoor and Somerset’s hill villages are often too remote for a gas connection to be practical. Electric radiators only need an electricity supply, wherever the property is.
No tank, no boiler service
No oil tank to fill, no deliveries, no flue and no annual boiler service. The radiators themselves are maintenance-free.

Storage heater replacement
Night storage heater replacements in Somerset
Storage heater replacements are one of our most common jobs in Somerset, particularly in older, off-grid homes that were fitted with storage heaters years ago.
We replace each old storage heater with a modern electric radiator that heats on demand and is controlled on its own. We take the old heaters away and recycle them, so you don’t have to worry about it.
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 Somerset: FAQs
How much does electric heating cost to install in Somerset?
It depends on the size of your property, the number of rooms being fitted and the radiators you choose. Book a free, no-obligation survey for a detailed quote based on your actual home, rather than a generic estimate.
Can I replace my old storage heater with an electric radiator?
Yes, we replace old storage heaters in Somerset homes with modern electric radiators, and we remove and recycle the old heaters as part of the job.
Do electric radiators work in older or off-grid Somerset homes?
Yes. Electric radiators don’t need a gas connection, and they heat up quickly with room-by-room control, which suits older, off-grid properties where some rooms hold heat better than others.
How long does electric heating installation take?
Most installations are done in a day, including removing and recycling your old heating where needed.
Are electric radiators expensive to run in Somerset?
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 Somerset?
Yes. Our local surveyor covers the whole county and leaves you with a free, no-obligation written quote at the end of the visit.
