Electric radiators - any + recomended suppliers

I've been asked to swap out some old, massive storage rads for slimline ones that can be run during the day. Having worked in a town where mains gas is king this is a new one on me, so I'm after suppliers/manufacturers that other forum readers have used and found reliable.. The ones I've looked at seem to have a maximum power of 2 or 2.5kw, clearly inadequate for space heating a downstairs room in a traditional ( ie, OLD) cottage. Clearly, I can't fill the house with 4kw heaters, but one larger on for the downstairs room may be an option if they are available? Does anyone know?

I'm going to look at the job tomorrow, but it appears to have one decent sized living space that rule of thumb calcs suggest around 4kw heat, 2 small bedrooms and a tiny kitchen. 

Just to be clear, I'm not after any advice on supply or exceeding  maximum demand etc: just the possible availability of  larger heaters than I've seen so far, and reliable products.

  • Off peak warm air heaters are/were available a couple of years ago as I had to quote to change two elderly gas units that had been condemed (large bungalow with ducting under floor) at each end of property, but by the time they had run a new supply to the property and bought/installed the new heaters the decision as made to spend the money on new gas warm air units but I was surprised at the cost but then they are rare beasts..
