Sale of electric radiators and air heatersmeterIt has nearly doubled since early November and so far, according to retailers. Cthe figures are compared with sales made last year and are available nationally. But Capital lead Independent in the main cities with the highest sales of heaters. And this, because since the beginning of the cold season, thousands of Bucharest residents have not had heating in their apartments.
The electric radiator is the star product of this period in appliance stores. Retailers said they were surprised by the high demand and say they post higher sales by even 50% compared to the same period last year.
The trend is observed both in online sales and in stores.
Bucharest is the city that registers the largest sale of this type of device and this is because since the beginning of the cold season, thousands of people have frozen in their homes due to lack of heating.
On the website of Termoenergetica, the company that provides heating and hot water, there are thousands of apartment blocks and buildings in this situation.
The difference between the air heater and the electric radiator.
“The first criterion for choosing a product is of course price, but lately customers are turning to better performing products,” says Cosmin Burducea, manager of an appliance store.
The difference between a radiator and an air heater is that this radiator keeps the heat in the room longer than the air heater. It works on various heat levels, has a thermostat. Another thing to keep in mind is that an air heater and convector tend to dry out the air in the room more than a radiator.
“It just came to our knowledge then. We look at an electric radiator like this because we don’t have heat or hot water. Do you know what it’s like in apartments? You can’t take a bath. I can’t. Die. I’m dressed at home both day and night.” says a couple of customers who found themselves in a store with this type of product.
“I have to bring a radiator because my wife already has lung problems, she coughs, I don’t want to go to the hospital with COVID. No more budget problems when it comes to health. Instead of giving money to the doctor, it is better to spend money on a radiator and stay at home, ”explains a man.
The heat situation in Bucharest is still far from being resolved
The situation will not improve in the coming weeks, and the announcement comes from the mayor of the capital, Nicusor Dan.
“For what it will be this winter, unfortunately, we can only intervene in the damage and do the best we can,” said the mayor of the capital.
Therefore, heaters will be the only solution, especially since at night the temperature began to drop close to freezing.
On the other hand, the use of these devices will also affect the electricity bill, which in some cases can even double. In addition, there may be an overload of aging electrical networks.
