Frequently Asked Questions – Electric Radiators Ireland
Q: Where can I buy an electric radiator in Ireland with fast delivery?
A: Shamrock Electrical supplies electric radiators across the Republic of Ireland from its base in Rathcoole, Dublin. Orders are delivered nationwide within a few working days. The full range including wall-mounted panel heaters, WiFi smart radiators, and oil-filled radiators is available at shamrockelectrical.ie.
Q: Are electric radiators expensive to run in Ireland?
A: Running costs depend on the wattage of the radiator and your electricity tariff. A 1,500W electric radiator running for one hour costs approximately €0.45 to €0.60 based on average Irish electricity rates. Modern electric radiators with built-in thermostats and timers significantly reduce running costs by only heating a room when needed. WiFi-enabled models allow you to control heating schedules from your phone, avoiding unnecessary use.
Q: What size electric radiator do I need for a room in Ireland?
A: A general guide for Irish homes is approximately 100 watts per square metre of floor space. A 10 square metre bedroom typically requires a 1,000W radiator. A 20 square metre living room would need approximately 2,000W. Older or poorly insulated properties may need slightly more capacity. Well-insulated new builds may need slightly less. Contact Shamrock Electrical if you need help sizing a radiator for your space.
Q: Do electric radiators need to be installed by an electrician in Ireland?
A: Most wall-mounted electric radiators require connection to a fused spur by a qualified electrician. Plug-in electric radiators and oil-filled radiators can be used immediately without installation. The Titan Smart WiFi models from Shamrock Electrical are wall-mounted and should be installed by a registered electrician. Installation is typically a straightforward half-hour job.
Q: What is the best electric radiator for a small room in Ireland?
A: For a small room such as a box room, home office, or single bedroom of around 8 to 12 square metres, a 750W to 1,200W panel heater is usually sufficient. The Titan Electric Panel Heater with WiFi Control, available from Shamrock Electrical from €129.99, is a popular choice for small rooms in Irish homes because it heats quickly, maintains temperature efficiently, and can be scheduled from a phone app.
Q: Do you deliver electric radiators to all counties in Ireland?
A: Yes. Shamrock Electrical delivers electric radiators to all counties in the Republic of Ireland including Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Kerry, Clare, Tipperary, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Kildare, Meath, Louth, and all other counties. Delivery takes a few working days from order. Free shipping applies to orders over a qualifying amount.
Q: Can I control an electric radiator from my phone in Ireland?
A: Yes. The Titan Smart WiFi Electric Radiator and the Titan Electric Panel Heater with WiFi Control, both available from Shamrock Electrical, connect to your home WiFi and are controlled via a smartphone app. You can set heating schedules, adjust temperature remotely, and monitor energy use from anywhere. This is particularly useful for managing heating costs in Irish homes where temperatures vary significantly between seasons.
Q: What is the difference between a panel heater and an oil-filled radiator?
A: Panel heaters heat a room quickly but stop producing heat as soon as they are switched off. Oil-filled radiators take longer to heat up but retain heat for longer after switching off, making them more efficient for extended heating periods. For Irish homes that need quick heat in the morning or evening, a panel heater is usually the better choice. For rooms that need sustained heat over several hours, an oil-filled radiator is more economical. Both types are available from Shamrock Electrical with delivery across Ireland.
Q: Do you have a showroom where I can see the radiators in person?
A: Yes, our showroom is located at Unit 22, Block 613, Jordanstown Road, Greenogue Business Park, Rathcoole, Co. Dublin, D24 TX98.
