In Torrevieja, winters are not as harsh as in other parts of inland Spain, but that doesn’t mean heating can be overlooked. When the temperatures drop, having a system that ensures comfort at home makes all the difference. Radiators remain one of the most practical and efficient solutions, especially in renovated homes or holiday residences.
In this article, we explain the most common types of radiators, their advantages, and what you should consider before choosing the one that best suits your home on the Costa Blanca.
Types of radiators
🔹 Water radiators
These are the classic option. They work by being connected to a boiler or an aerothermal system, distributing heat evenly. They are very efficient for homes where heating is used daily throughout the winter.
🔹 Electric radiators
Independent and easy to install, they do not require building work or connection to a boiler. They are an excellent choice for those looking for a quick solution or for heating occasional rooms.
🔹 Low-consumption radiators
Perfect for holiday homes in Torrevieja, where heating is used sporadically. They use less energy and can be programmed so that they only run when really needed.
What to consider when choosing a radiator
✅ Size and power: should be adapted to the square metres of each room and the level of insulation in the home.
✅ Materials:
- Aluminium: heat up quickly, ideal for occasional use.
- Cast iron: take longer to warm up but retain heat for a much longer period.
✅ Design and aesthetics: today there are decorative, slimline, or even vertical radiators that can complement the style of your home.
✅ Placement: ideally, radiators should be installed beneath windows or in areas where there is greater heat loss, improving energy efficiency.
