Opportunities In The Specialist Radiator Market

By Tal Potishman

It is safe to say that the current economic climate has not been easy for the heating industry. Nonetheless, installers should not be put off by the economic downturn. They should not be discouraged and wait around hoping for the situation to get better. Installers have a number of opportunities available to them. It is just about spotting these opportunities and making the most of them.

The real challenge facing installers at the moment is to recognise these opportunities and taking advantage of them. One particular opportunity is the radiator market. There have been many products available in this market that have also increased in popularity over time due to a number of reasons.

The local government has been keen to make investments in social housing and public building works, such as education and healthcare, and as a result this has led to increased demand in specialist heating products which are designed to cater for these areas.

Many household owners who were once thinking about moving house have now changed their minds and have set their goals on improving their homes instead. Consequently, household owners are now purchasing designer radiators and products, which offer them great style and high performance.

Consumers are also concerned about reducing their expenditure on fuel bills. They are trying to find different ways to cost-cut. Having an efficient heating system has become increasingly appealing as it is seen as a great way of achieving this goal.

It is up to the installer to assess the consumer's individual circumstances, and to advise them appropriately according to that. It is best to provide the consumer with as many options as possible. This may lead to a better result for the installer at the end.

Many customers will have fairly drab looking radiators in their homes. Therefore they would be looking for the opportunity to give their radiators a makeover as they recognise that the radiator does not just have to be a practical item in the house to be hidden away. It can also be seen as a decorative item in itself, and as an installer, you can help see the customer this point of view.

There are a range of options available to the customer. You can have double-panelled radiators, single-panelled or one which is clear glass. Depending on what you are looking for, there are a wide range of styles and designs to choose from. This means that you can have a warm lovely home even before you turn on the heating.

Towel warmers are also on the increase in popularity. They can come in a variety of models just like radiators. There are also a wide range of floor stand designs available, which allows for greater flexibility in your home design, and making your bathroom very stylish.

It is time to change the consumer's perception. A radiator in the house does not just need to be another accessory to be hidden away. It can be stylish like any other object in the house. As an installer, your business will boom if you recognise these qualities in the market and make the most of them. - 30517
