With more and more homeowners looking to create a ‘smart home’. The Electric Radiator Shop explain why electric radiators and panel heaters are just the answer.
June 29th 2007, Steve Jobs unveiled the very first iPhone and in doing so he forever changed the way we access the world’s information forever. Prior to that, our mobile phone was primarily used for voice calls and texting. If you were really lucky, it may also have had a simple camera, calendar, and a few basic games such as “Snake” to keep you occupied. But the original iPhone laid the foundation for the modern smartphone and introduced two very important concepts — the touch screen and the App Store. The App store is the reason why we can summon taxis without speaking a word, transfer digital payments, and switch on our heating from the other side of the world at the mere touch of a button. Without smartphones, there would be no Ubers, Snapchats, and Instagram’s, and likewise the electric heating industry wouldn’t be where it is today.
Now, most modern electric radiators come with a WiFi smart control App, allowing you to control your electric heating systems from anywhere in the world. You can even check and control each room independently. You can also amend room temperatures, as well as weekly time programming and programmed temperatures.
In addition to offering controllability from afar, some models such as the Digi-line Radiators by Electrorad also feature inbuilt RF chips with a signal can that can ‘hop’ five times to increase the range and help reach remotely sited radiators. Other styles such as the Vanguard WiFi, also feature pioneering control technology that makes them compatible with the market-leading Amazon Alexa to enable voice interaction. Now, homeowners can literally tell their heating system what to do!
Not only that, some radiators also feature a Geo-Location option that automatically activates the radiator when the homeowner is a set distance to or from the home; cleverly ensuring you never return to a cold house! And, all of this can be controlled either from the phone, tablet, or computer.
The Vanguard WiFi range (as seen in the picture below) is fully Lot 20 compliant, it’s one of the first electric radiators to have voice control compatibility with Amazon Alexa. Coupled with its WiFi and App control, in-built energy monitor, and easy to read, top located LCD controls, it’s one of the smartest radiators in the marketplace.
Our hand-picked ranges of electric radiators and panel heaters now have more features than ever too, as part of the LOT20 compliance, which ensures they are smart, energy efficient and easy to use. Essentially, all electric radiator shop models now feature 24/7 programming, adaptive start, and open window functions to comply with the new minimum efficiency standard. Adaptive Start Control helps radiators learn when to switch on in order to achieve optimum household comfort, Virtual Open Window Sensors ensure that the radiators stop heating when they sense a continuous draft and restart when the draft has stopped. Some of the Electric Radiator Shop ranges also boast in-built energy monitors to help manage home heating usage.
