SÜKA heaters will run most economically when correctly sized and used. If they are undersized they will work harder to produce the necessary heat and therefore NOT run as efficiently.
In addition to these details, we include a choosing guide on our website. Alternatively, call us and we can provide all the help you could need on choosing the right product for your property.

Sizes
The 500 watts, 800 watts, 1.0 kilowatt, 1.5 kilowatts and 1.6-kilowatt radiators are available in one size only in each type. The 1.0 kilowatt and the 1.6 kilowatts are BOTH of the same dimensions. The 2.0-kilowatt radiator is available in four different sizes. The 2.5-kilowatt radiator is available in two
different sizes. The reason for the varying sizes in the larger sized radiators is that a greater surface area is available should there be sufficient wall space to install on. In larger rooms, it is always advisable to use the bigger sized radiators. The bigger the radiator in physical size the more efficient it is as the heat is spread on a wider area. There is also an additional benefit of extra lower surface temperatures.
Working out the size you need.
To work out the size of the radiator (in kilowatts) needed to heat each room, use the formula:
number of kw = volume of room x 0.04
For example for a room 3m x 4m x 2.5m high:
No. of kw = 3 x 4 x 2.5 x 0.04 = 1.2
If a room has a north-facing outer wall then increase the
result of 25%.
