Homeowners love the luxurious warmth of hydronic heating, but many new homes without gas connections can make things tricky. Electric hydronic heating might seem daunting—heat pump hydronic systems can be costly and complex, demanding outdoor space, invasive plumbing and regular maintenance.

This leaves you with a choice: give up on the comfort of hydronic heating or explore otheroptions like split systems. Hydronic heating provides gentle, radiant warmth without the draughts or allergens you get with forced air systems.

Enter Thermosoft Australia’s range of Purmo electric radiators: the same radiant heat as hydronic systems without the installation headaches. Plus Series electric radiators, premium quality units from Europe, come from the same factory as hydronic panels. They offer the same cosy warmth but use an electric element and oil instead of water-filled pipes. Installation is a breeze—mount them on walls in around 20 minutes using brackets or have an electrician hard-wire them.

Why choose Plus Series electric radiators? These slimline panels are a straightforward choice for new homes or retrofits compared to heat pump hydronic systems. No complex piping or outdoor units are required.

The radiators are cost-effective for homeowners looking to cut initial costs during new builds or renovations. While heat pump hydronic systems can cost over $30,000, you can install Plus Series electric radiators for as little as $8000, depending on your home’s size. Though heat pump hydronic systems may boast lower running costs, the investment takes decades to recoup in energy savings.

Plus Series electric radiators excel in energy efficiency, particularly in well-insulated, draught-proof homes with good heat retention. They channel electricity directly into heat for peak performance, while advanced digital thermostats keep room temperatures within 0.1 degrees of your preferred level. Timers and zoning capabilities let you heat only the rooms you use, synching with solar power generation for extra savings.

When choosing a heating system, weigh up installation complexity, efficiency, cost and personal comfort. Plus Series electric radiators provide budget-friendly, easy installation and personalised room control. Enjoy the same cosy warmth of hydronic heating at a fraction of the cost.

Whether getting ready in front of the mirror or looking to brush your teeth after a shower, mirror condensation can be an inconvenience at the best of times. However, electric mirror heaters provide the perfect solution, using a heated backing to leave your mirror crystal clear even after a steamy shower.

How does it work?

Electric mirror heaters integrate seamlessly with any standard mirror installation. Consisting of a thin heating element, an electrician simply applies the pad as backing before the mirror is mounted to the wall. A mirror heat pad can be fitted to most sizes of mirror and is linked to a standard on/off switch.

How hot does a mirror heat pad get?

A mirror heat pad will generally heat to around 30 degrees; hot enough to eliminate surface condensation but not too hot!

Having been experts in the business of air circulation and ventilation for the past five decades, Vornado’s unique set of air heating technological advancements is backed by advanced research in the physics of airflow. Most reputable and significant in their research, was the evolution of their signature Vortex Technology, which has been strategically engineered into each of Vornado’s home appliances, including the TVH500 Whole Room Heater.

Vornado’s signature Vortex Technology ensures the efficient circulation and movement of air to disburse the warmth around the room in less time than a traditional heater, thus consuming less energy, and keeping costs down. The “Vortex” action creates a powerful stream of air that flows fast, warm and constant in a twisting spiral pattern, using the walls and ceiling to circulate and re-circulate the air which flows continuously throughout the room.

The result is that you feel the difference no matter where you are in the room without the need of oscillation. Vornado believes comfort should be constant. With circulation you receive consistent, well-distributed air.

By comparison, traditional space heaters warm only the space directly in front, leaving the rest of the room cold. Consumers are therefore running their space heaters at higher settings and for longer periods of time to achieve an ambient room temperature. Space heaters are therefore detrimental to the environment as they consume vast amounts of energy and cost consumers hundreds in electricity bills.

Not only does the TVH500 protect the environment, it also protects your family with Vornado’s Multi-Level Safety Protection features. Externally this includes the tightly spun metal grill, which blocks curious fingers and nosy pet tails as well as remaining cool to touch even after hours of operation. Internal safety protection includes an automatic ‘shut-off’ feature which is initiated if the unit is tipped over or obstructed.

The Vornado Whole Room Heater features a remote control and a digital LCD screen to display current and set temperature. The TVH500 model also boasts an easy-to-set timer. This allows you to run the unit for a predetermined period of time before it shuts off automatically – keeping you from wasting energy and money by accidentally leaving the heater on.

Vornado’s TVH500 Whole Room Heater – the ideal combination of style, durability, safety and performance.

All this while being backed by Vornado’s 5-year replacement warranty guarantee for added peace of mind.
