Connected electric radiator: comfort, savings and remote control

A connected electric radiator makes it easier to manage heating day to day thanks to a dedicated app and advanced scheduling features. From your smartphone, you can adjust the temperature, schedule heating times and, on some models, monitor energy consumption. L'the aim is to heat only when necessary, improving your comfort while keeping energy costs down.

What is a connected electric radiator?

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

• Control heating from a smartphone.
• Custom weekly scheduling.
• Energy consumption monitoring (depending on the model)
• Heating adjusts according to whether anyone is home.
• Room-by-room heating control.
• Control using a voice assistant: Alexa & Google Assistant.

These features make it easier to manage heating day to day, according to the household's habits.

How does a connected radiator work?

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

• L'users choose their desired heating settings.
• The thermostat automatically adjusts heating cycles.
• Some consumption information can be viewed directly in the app (depending on the model).

L'users can adjust their heating more easily and avoid unnecessarily heating certain rooms when they're away or plans change.

Why choose a connected electric radiator?

Feature	Standard radiator	Connected radiator
Temperature adjustment	Manual	Remote control via an app
Scheduling	Weekly	Adjustable in real time
Consumption monitoring	No	Yes (depending on the model)
Absence management	No	Yes
Energy optimization	Basic	Advanced

With its scheduling and remote control features, a connected radiator can help reduce heating consumption when used correctly.

Which connected radiator should you choose for your needs?

The connected ceramic inertia radiator

Ceramic stores heat and releases it gradually, helping maintain a more consistent temperature. This type of radiator is particularly popular for the steady comfort it provides every day.

Ceramic radiators with heating film

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

The thermal comfort of connected cast iron radiators

Thanks to its high thermal inertia, cast iron provides gentle, even heat, even after the heating switches off. It is often appreciated in rooms occupied for several hours a day, where a stable temperature is desirable.

Cast iron models with heating film

This technology combines the quick warm-up of heating film with the thermal inertia of cast iron. It offers a good balance between responsiveness and heating performance.

Smart features that make all the difference

Remote control

A connected radiator lets you control your heating remotely using a dedicated app. You can adjust your home’s temperature at any time, even when you’re away or plans change unexpectedly.

Occupancy detection

Radiators with an occupancy sensor automatically adjust their operation based on whether the room is occupied. This feature is particularly useful in rooms that are used infrequently, as it helps limit unnecessary heating periods.

The replaceable thermostat

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

What power rating should you choose for a connected radiator?

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

• For a well-insulated home, 100 W/m² is recommended.
• For a poorly insulated home, opt for 125 W/m² instead: this makes it easier to heat the room while optimizing your energy consumption.

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

Thomson connected radiators: a complete solution

Thomson radiators are available with several heating technologies (ceramic, cast iron, or dual heating elements) and, depending on the model, include remote control features to make everyday heating management easier.

In summary

A connected radiator makes it easier to manage your heating with scheduling and remote control features. Depending on the model, it can also provide information about energy consumption to help you keep your costs under control.

FAQ: Everything you need to know about connected electric radiators

Can a connected radiator really reduce energy consumption?

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

Scheduling and monitoring energy use help avoid unnecessary heating.

Can you control a connected radiator remotely?

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

You can adjust the temperatures, schedule heating periods, and view information about your radiators' use in real time (depending on the model), wherever you are.

What's the difference between a connected radiator and a conventional radiator?

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

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