If you’re currently weighing up your electric heating options, you’ve likely come across Fischer electric radiators. With their strong reputation and long history in the UK market, many households consider Fischer Future Heat when thinking about upgrading their heating system. But how do they compare to other modern electric heating alternatives?
At Trust Electric Heating, we believe in giving people clear information about what we offer, so they can make the right choice for their home. Our NEOS electric radiator is designed and built in Britain, with a focus on energy efficiency, lasting quality and ease of use. If you’re exploring alternatives to Fischer electric heaters, our Electric Heating Guide offers a helpful overview of our product and what makes it different to the rest.

Most Fischer electric radiators feature identical front and back panels, but the NEOS electric radiator is built differently. It’s a UK-manufactured electric radiator with a patented back wall design, featuring Quadvex technology. This design helps reduce rear heat loss by up to 35%, channelling warmth into your room more effectively.
Fischer electric radiators typically use a clay core, just like many other traditional electric heating models. At Trust Electric Heating, we’ve taken a different approach. Our NEOS electric radiators use a soapstone core, a high-performance material known for its ability to absorb and slowly release heat long after the power is off.
Here’s what makes it different:
High Heat Retention – Soapstone stores warmth for at least 30 minutes without consuming power.
Durability – It resists cracking, even under high temperatures, allowing us to offer a 25-year guarantee.
Non-Porous Nature – Unlike clay, soapstone doesn’t absorb moisture, so it won’t deteriorate over time.
Energy Efficiency – By delivering residual heat, soapstone helps lower overall electricity usage.
Fischer electric radiator casings are typically made with mild steel, like most electric heaters. For our NEOS electric radiators, we’ve opted for aluminium instead, because it’s simply better at conducting heat. In fact, aluminium is 290% more thermally conductive than mild steel.
Here’s a quick comparison:
Steel: Conductivity = 10.1 × 10^6 S/m
Aluminium: Conductivity = 36.9 × 10^6 S/m
In practical terms? Aluminium helps the NEOS warm your room 2.9x faster and more evenly. It doesn’t trap heat like steel can, meaning less waste and more comfort.
At Trust Electric Heating, product development doesn’t stop at launch. We continually refine our designs through rigorous testing, using real-world performance data to improve durability, efficiency, and control. Our electronic components are independently tested and manufactured to high-quality standards, ensuring every NEOS electric radiator is built to last.
From the soapstone core to the thermostat, every part of the system is developed to deliver reliability and performance day in, day out. That commitment to quality is one of the ways we stand apart from many other electric heating systems on the market.
We understand that no two homes are the same. That’s why the NEOS offers a wide range of thermostat control options, from simple integrated dials to smart app-based systems and wireless zone controls. Whether you prefer manual control or want to manage your heating remotely via your smartphone, we’ve got options that fit your lifestyle.
You can a variety of separate heating zones, giving you precise control over how and when each room is heated, perfect for lowering energy usage without compromising comfort.
One notable difference between Fischer radiators and our NEOS system lies in how smart control is handled. One of our Bluetooth thermostat options, called My Radiator Buddy, includes a Geo Location feature. This smart function can detect when you’ve left home and automatically lower the temperature, then raise it again when you return, without you needing to touch a thing. It’s an easy way to avoid waste and stay comfortable.
When investing in electric heating, long-term peace of mind matters. That’s why we offer a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty on all NEOS radiators, more than double the 10-year warranty typically offered by Fischer. It’s our way of backing the quality of our design and build, and giving you confidence that your heating system is built to last.
We also offer a 100-day warmth guarantee, similar to the Fischer Warm Home Guarantee. If your home doesn’t reach your desired temperature, we’ll come out to reassess your heating setup and work with you to make it right.
We believe heating your home shouldn’t come with hidden costs or vague pricing. That’s why we have a clear rate card, so every customer knows exactly what to expect. Whether you’re comparing quotes or just starting to explore options beyond Fischer, our pricing is designed to be fair and transparent.

Our expert installation team is on hand to ensure everything is fitted correctly and efficiently. And unlike many electric radiators, including Fischer heaters, which are often heavier due to their construction, NEOS radiators have a lightweight, slim profile. That means easier handling, quicker installation, and a cleaner, more modern appearance on your wall. Despite being lighter, they deliver powerful, even heat, combining performance with style.
