The Ultimate Radiator Buying Guide: 2025 Edition

Whether you're renovating, replacing an old radiator, or designing your dream home, choosing the right radiator can feel overwhelming. With so many styles, finishes, and technical considerations, it’s hard to know where to start.

That’s where we come in.

At Home of Heat, we make it easy to find a radiator that suits both your space and your style. And with our Summer Sale offering up to 50% off (plus an extra 10% when you subscribe to our newsletter), now is the perfect time to upgrade.

What to Consider When Buying a Radiator

Before you choose a radiator, think about:

Room Size and Heat Output
Use our BTU calculator to make sure your radiator will generate enough heat for the size of your room. Too little output, and you’ll be cold; too much, and you’ll waste energy.

Style and Finish
Radiators can be design features as much as heating sources. From vintage columns to sleek flat panels, the right style can enhance your room’s decor.

Positioning and Wall Space
Choose between vertical or horizontal radiators based on your available space. Vertical models are ideal for narrow areas, while horizontal options suit under-window spaces and long walls.

Plumbing vs. Electric
Most radiators connect to your central heating, but electric and dual-fuel options offer added flexibility, great for summer use or spaces without access to central heating.
