Electric Heating Panels – Types and How to Choose the Right Heater

Types of electric panels and their applications

Convector panels heat air that circulates through the room, ideal for spaces up to 25m². Infrared panels, such as the Adler AD7726 mini grejalica, emit heat directly toward objects and people, making them perfect for targeted heating of smaller zones. Storage heaters accumulate heat at night when electricity is cheaper and release it during the day.

Power output and room size

Basic rule: calculate approximately 100W per square meter for average-insulated rooms. For a 20m² room you need a panel of at least 2000W. Brands like Midea and Bosch Zeleni offer models with various power ratings and precise thermostats for optimal consumption.

Thermostat and programmability

Digital thermostats can reduce electricity consumption by up to 30% compared to mechanical versions. Look for models with weekly programming that automatically lower the temperature when you're away from home. Some modern panels include WiFi control for adjustment via smartphone.

Safety and additional features

Overheating protection is a mandatory feature – the panel automatically shuts off when reaching critical temperature. Models with IP24 rating can be used in bathrooms. Brands like Adler and Alfa Plam often include tip-over protection for additional safety.

Central heating vs electric panels

For supplementary heating or spot heating, electric panels are a practical solution without construction work. Systems like the Alfa Plam EK11 električni kotao can serve as a complete solution in smaller apartments, but note that electricity is more expensive than gas as fuel. Calculate monthly consumption before switching to electric-only heating.

Energy efficiency and costs

All electric panels have 100% efficiency in converting electricity to heat, but that doesn't mean they're all economical. The difference lies in temperature control and heat loss. Models with Eco mode maintain optimal temperature with minimal fluctuations, directly impacting your electricity bill.
