running costs

The running costs of the radiators are strongly influenced by the insulation levels of a property or development. The greater the level of heat loss within a property then more electricity will be consumed by the radiator, as it has to work harder to maintain the room temperature. If the insulation values are very high then the radiator will reach the desired temperature faster and maintaining the temperature will be easier as heat loss is minimal, therefore the radiator will consume less electricity.

• Approximate running costs per hour assume correct radiator size in relation to heat losses
• one-kilowatt hour to equal 10.4 pence (including vat),
• 10.4 pence is based on British Gas Duel Fuel Tariff and is correct as at March 2008
  
• These running costs should be used as a guideline only and are not definitive. Running
• costs will differ slightly depending on the tariff of electricity suppliers.
