    Replacing electric radiators

    I’m looking to replace electric radiators in my flat (two with a more modern version, one with a towel rail). I’m just wondering if it is a difficult/ timely job for an electrician to do? It would need to be wall mounted and doesn’t have a plug, just an ‘off-peak’ switch. Also, is there anything not obvious that I need to consider? Cheers
