and it's beautiful, thin and super efficient.......

NEEDO electric radiators are proving that beauty is more than skin deep through their revolutionary new heating technology, which heats up twice as fast as competitor systems* and offers up to 25% energy savings.

The secret behind NEEDO’s unique offer is an innovative two-phase heat transfer process that not only delivers a much more rapid rise in temperature but also facilitates heat recovery of energy already produced, substantially lowering running costs.

“We have called this process the Advanced Condensing System (ACS),” said NEEDO UK managing director Salvatore Cirasuolo. “We believe we are the only UK electric central heating system manufacturer to offer this technological advance. Our radiators work on a completely different principle to standard electric systems, offering greater heat control, more even heat flow/spread and reduced operating costs.”

Unlike many electric heating systems, NEEDO radiators are specifically designed to optimise total heat transfer through the patented ACS technology of the core heating system. ACS is based on an innovative eco-friendly fluid embedded in the aluminum case of the radiator under controlled conditions during manufacture.

During operation the fluid evaporates at high speed and immediately releases its energy through the condensing process to the radiator’s case. Heat generated is completely and quickly transferred from the radiator to the environment. As a result, the ACS technology reduces the time to reach the required temperature by more than 50% with respect to an equivalent electric radiator commercially available. Furthermore the condensing process ensures an extremely uniform temperature profile of the radiator resulting in a highly efficient and highly comfortable heat transfer process.

“With NEEDO we have worked hard to produce a product that delivers on a number of fronts,” added Mr Cirasuolo. “Not only are the radiators great to look at, with leading design aesthetics, they are super slim (at just 3cm thick) and work brilliantly to deliver highly responsive, cost-effective and environmentally responsible heat. In the past electric heating has been synonymous with lumpy, old-fashioned panel and storage heaters that were both inefficient and expensive to operate. Now there is no excuse not to install or use a good-looking, highly efficient electric heating system.”

NEEDO radiators are quick and easy to install without the need for any plumbing. They reach the required temperature twice as quickly as any normal panel, storage or wet system heater. Their heat diffusion is far more efficient and each radiator can be wirelessly controlled independently by the cool-looking My NEEDO energy management centre with touch-screen controls to create a complete central heating system throughout the home.
What’s more, the radiators have been designed to cleverly pivot away from the wall to facilitate cleaning or decorating.

“With NEEDO it really is possible to have a designer electric central heating system that is economical  to run, highly efficient and independently controllable/programmable from your armchair. The radiators look fabulous, they heat up almost immediately, and real-time monitoring of their power usage allows users to control and reduce energy bills,” said Mr Cirasuolo. NEEDO combine performance, design and ergonomics with a highly advanced energy management system.”

The NEEDO range includes super thin radiators in horizontal and vertical versions available in three styles and a choice of nine colours, superbly styled towel rails and the spectacular Monolithe, which combines heating, lighting and mobility all in one system.
