Comparing electric heatersfor OEMs, retailers and planners

Elektroheizungen für OEM-Partner vom Hersteller Lucht LHZ - Made in Germany

Using comparisons as a decision-making tool for your product range and sales

If you are considering adding electric heaters to your portfolio as an OEM partner, retailer or planner, different requirements will come to the fore. These include positioning and application profile, variant capability, documentation, certifications, and a delivery model that reflects your sales channel. Here you will find selection criteria, a comparison table and links to detailed pages with specifications and documentation.

You will receive a package of documents for each model, including data sheets, dimensions, installation options, colour and branding options, installation instructions, product images, planning texts and information on packaging and shipping.

Further technical details and reference configurations are available on request.

White label and brand label options are available for all heating types

All three heating types are available as series products and can be supplied as either a white or brand label. Therefore, when selecting from the OEM portfolio, it is crucial to consider which heating type is best suited to the application profile, desired heating characteristics, and distribution channel.

Convector heater

Infrared heater

Conclusion: Which type of heating is suitable for which OEM target group and sales channel?

The appropriate type of heating is determined by the usage profile and sales concept. This enables you to swiftly identify the most suitable heating solution for your product range and sales channel.

The table below summarises the most important differences according to application profile, heat characteristics and control.

Specialist retailers with staggered performance classes and clear application profiles

require convector heaters and infrared heaters, which can be easily classified according to their application profile and heat characteristics. These can be supplemented by storage heaters for constant heat and regular use.

White label or brand label programmes:

Heating types with a high degree of variability in colour, installation and type plate, enabling product lines to be neatly adapted to the brand and distribution.

Commercial property business and series equipment:

Storage heaters are used when uniform heat emission and plannable designs are important, as well as convector or infrared heaters for zoned applications.

System providers and product packages in the fields of photovoltaics (PV), energy storage and smart homes:

heating types that can be clearly positioned via digital control and offer clean documentation.

Planning and tendering:

heating types for which specifications, documents and evidence are quickly available, including clear performance levels and dimensions.

Comparison criteria for OEM, trade and planning

We use criteria that can be directly applied to product design, sales and planning for the comparison.

Application profile and product range positioning

Is this type of heating more suitable for short-term use or zoned heating, or for rooms that are used permanently and require constant heating? This determines the product range logic and sales argumentation.

Heat characteristics and response time

The type of heating technology used (convection, radiation or storage) influences how quickly heat is felt and how evenly it is distributed throughout the room.

Control and digital expandability

Digital control is important for many portfolios. Decisive factors include whether an integrated thermostat is available and whether app and cloud control can be offered as an option.

LOGO

Variant capability for the product range and its implementation

Important factors include performance classes, colour variants according to the RAL colour chart, installation types, and design options, all of which can be clearly mapped in the product system and sales. White or brand labels are generally possible; the specific designs depend on the product range and target market.

Documentation and data

Data sheets, dimensions, images, installation information, and other relevant documentation are important for product creation and planning. The clearer and more structured these are, the faster product creation and marketing can be implemented.

Evidence and approval basis

Tests, measurements and studies facilitate internal approvals, product development and planning. Having evidence available reduces queries and speeds up decisions.

Using evidence from tests and studies to support arguments

Measurements and studies provide evidence for internal approvals, evaluations and planning. On our tests and studies page, you will find information on the heat dissipation and heating behaviour of electric heating systems.

How to use the table:

Note

Please note that designs and variants may vary depending on the project. Specific data and documentation for each design are available on request.

You will receive a data sheet, dimensions and details of the available options for installation, colour and branding.

On request, we can provide you with the relevant documentation, depending on the model. This includes, amongst other things, data sheets, installation instructions, images, dimensional drawings, design specifications, and details regarding packaging and shipping. Further technical details, such as connection specifications, protection class and design details, are also available on request, together with the relevant data sheets.

Direct links to the relevant product pages

If you already have a specific type of heating in mind, you will find specifications, reference data and OEM options at the next level.

Questions to help you compare OEMs and retailers

Convector and infrared heaters can usually be installed and categorised quickly. Storage heaters are useful for providing constant heat output and are ideal for regular use.

Decisive factors include variability in installation, colour and type plate, as well as reliable documentation for product creation and sales. The most suitable options for each type of heating depend on your target market and the desired brand image.

For standard fittings, predictable designs, clear specifications and certifications are important. Storage heaters are often the best option here, while convectors and infrared heaters can be used to supplement short-term and zoned applications.

Convectors quickly heat air through circulation; infrared has a stronger effect on surfaces through radiation; and storage heaters work with storage technology and time-delayed release. The choice should be based on the intended usage and positioning.

These usually include data sheets, dimensions, installation instructions and product images. Depending on the project, additional documentation such as planning texts, packaging information and shipping details may also be required. We can provide the relevant documentation package for each model upon request.

Next step: Request data sheets and OEM options

If you would like to review the heating types for your product range or an OEM project, we will send you the relevant documentation. Depending on the model, you will receive data sheets, dimensions, and information on installation variants, colours, and branding. Reference configurations and additional documents for product installation and planning are also available on request.

We will provide you with a documentation package for each model on request, including data sheets, dimensions, installation instructions, product images, planning texts, and information on packaging and shipping.
