The Benefits of Electric Radiators

At Paladin we know that cast iron radiators are synonymous with traditional homes but they can also be integrated seamlessly into modern interiors with little effort.

Around four million homes in the UK are not connected to gas central heating, however if you live in one of these homes you don’t have to miss out on the beauty of cast iron radiators because Paladin has a plethora of stylish and sophisticated electric cast iron radiators that have the convenience of electrical operation.

Showcasing a magnificent centrepiece in your home has never been easier. Our electric cast iron radiators are fitted with a 240V single-phase heating element that can be thermostatically adjusted via the settings. They also include a frost protection mode and those paired with our Wi-Fi enabled fused spurs can be controlled via a free-to-install app, offering timed operation for single or multiple radiators.

Our radiators are supplied filled, tested and ready for wiring to a fused spur. We offer electric cast iron radiators in a range of sizes. We’ll show you some options shortly, but first let’s discuss the benefits of electric radiators in your home:

  • Electric radiators require less maintenance (for example they don’t need bleeding, balancing or flushing).
  • The cost of installing electric radiators can be a lot less than installing gas central heating.
  • Each radiator can be independently controlled when used in conjunction with our Wi-Fi enabled spurs which means you only need to heat the rooms that you’re using.


At Paladin, the majority of our cast iron radiators can be transformed into electrical models. Our range of electric radiators are available in a wide range of colours to suit your home from calming blues to fun pinks and the elements can be white, gold, satin silver, steel, anthracite, matt black, gloss grey, textured grey or textured dark grey.

Our cables are white as standard but, on request, we can supply black or light grey cables. Here are some of our favourite cast iron radiators ready to become electric masterpieces inside your home.
