Connected electric radiator: comfort, savings, and remote control

The connected electric radiator makes daily heating management easier thanks to a dedicated app and advanced programming functions. From your smartphone, you can adjust the temperature, schedule heating periods, and on some models, monitor energy consumption. The goal is to heat only when necessary to improve your comfort while limiting energy expenses.

What is a connected electric radiator?

A connected electric radiator is a radiator that can be controlled via a dedicated app:

• Heating control from a smartphone.
• Personalized weekly programming.
• Energy consumption monitoring (depending on models)
• Heating adjustment based on home occupancy.
• Room-by-room heating control.
• Management using a voice assistant: Alexa & Google Assistant.

These features make daily heating management easier according to household habits.

How does a connected radiator work?

Once connected to the home's Wi-Fi network, the radiator can be controlled from a phone:

• The user chooses the desired heating settings.
• The thermostat automatically adjusts heating cycles.
• Some consumption-related information can be viewed directly from the app (depending on models).

The user can more easily adjust their heating and avoid unnecessarily heating certain rooms in case of absence or unforeseen events.

Why choose a connected electric radiator?

 

Thanks to its programming and remote control functions, a connected radiator can help reduce heating consumption when used correctly.

Which connected radiator to choose according to your needs?

The connected ceramic inertia radiator

Ceramic stores heat and releases it gradually, helping to maintain a more consistent warmth. This type of radiator is especially valued for the stable comfort it provides daily.

Ceramic radiators with heating film

These models combine the responsiveness of the heating film with the inertia of ceramic. They quickly provide a comfortable temperature while maintaining even heat over time.

The thermal comfort of connected cast iron

Thanks to its high thermal inertia, cast iron emits a gentle and steady heat even after the heating is turned off. It is often appreciated in rooms occupied for several hours a day, where temperature stability is desired.

Cast iron models with heating film

This technology combines the rapid heating of the heating film with the inertia of cast iron. It thus offers a good balance between responsiveness and heating quality.

The smart features that make the difference

Remote control

The connected radiator offers the ability to manage heating remotely via a dedicated app. You can adjust your home's temperature at any time, even when you're away or in case of unexpected events.

Presence detection

The radiators equipped with a presence detector allow the radiator to automatically adjust its operation based on room occupancy. This feature is especially useful in rarely used rooms, where it helps limit unnecessary heating periods.

The interchangeable thermostat

The interchangeable thermostat makes radiator maintenance easier and allows you to replace the thermostat if needed without changing the entire unit.

What power should you choose for a connected radiator?

The choice of power mainly depends on the area to be heated and the home's insulation. 

• For a well-insulated home, it is recommended to plan for 100 W/m².
• For a poorly insulated home, opt for 125 W/m²: this allows you to heat the room more easily while optimizing your energy consumption.

These estimates are given for information only and may vary depending on your home's insulation.

Thomson connected radiators: a complete solution

The Thomson radiators are available in several heating technologies (ceramic, cast iron, or double heating core) and include remote control functions, depending on the model, to simplify daily heating management.

In summary

A connected radiator makes it easier to manage your heating thanks to programming and remote control functions. Depending on the model, it can also provide information on energy consumption to help better control your expenses.

FAQ: Everything you need to know about the connected electric radiator

Does a connected radiator really help reduce consumption?

The savings depend on the home, its insulation, and usage habits.

Programming and monitoring consumption avoid unnecessary heating periods.

Can a connected radiator be controlled remotely?

Yes, all Bestherm connected radiators are compatible with a dedicated app that allows you to manage heating remotely.

You can change the temperatures, schedule your heating periods, and check information related to the use of your radiators in real time (depending on the model) wherever you are.

What is the difference between a connected radiator and a traditional radiator?

It offers greater flexibility of use and makes it easier to adapt the heating to the household's habits.

A traditional radiator is adjusted manually. A connected radiator, on the other hand, can be controlled from your mobile, making it easier to program and adapt the heating to the household's habits.
