Full details
This electriQ Anthracite Electric Horizontal Designer Radiator is ideal for homeowners seeking a stylish, efficient, and flexible heating solution without the need for plumbing. Its key benefit is the ability to provide localized, on-demand heat that's cheaper to run than central heating, with the added convenience of app control. A potential caveat is its 0.6kW output, which may be best suited for smaller to medium-sized rooms or supplementary heating. This radiator offers a modern aesthetic, quick installation, digital thermostat control, remote operation via the Tuya app, and an IPX4 bathroom-safe rating.

FAQs
Do I need a plumber to install this radiator?
No, this electric radiator is designed for simple DIY installation. You just need to mount it on the wall and plug it into a standard electrical outlet or have it hardwired by an electrician.
Can this radiator be used as a primary heat source?
The 0.6kW output is ideal for smaller rooms (e.g., bathrooms, studies, small bedrooms) or as supplementary heat in larger spaces. For larger or poorly insulated rooms, it may not be sufficient as the sole heating source.
Is it safe to use in a bathroom?
Yes, the radiator has an IPX4 waterproof rating, which means it is protected against splashes of water, making it safe for installation in bathrooms.
How do I control the radiator remotely?
You can control the radiator remotely using the Tuya app on your smartphone, provided the radiator is connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
What is the running cost compared to gas central heating?
It is generally cheaper to run for heating individual rooms because you only heat the space you are using, rather than an entire home. However, the exact cost depends on electricity vs. gas prices and room usage.
What is the warranty period?
The radiator comes with a 5-year electrical warranty and a 10-year warranty on the radiator body itself.
What are the dimensions of the radiator?
The dimensions are 60cm in height, 100cm in width, and 5.8cm in depth.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not turning on
Check that the power cable is securely plugged into the socket or that the hardwiring is correctly connected. Verify that the power outlet is functional by testing it with another appliance. Ensure the main power switch on the radiator (if applicable) is in the 'on' position.
Wi-Fi connection is unstable or not connecting
Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Restart your router and the radiator. Move the radiator closer to the Wi-Fi router if possible. Re-run the app setup process.
Radiator is not heating sufficiently
Check the thermostat setting to ensure it is set to a sufficiently high temperature. Confirm the room size is appropriate for the 0.6kW output. Ensure no furniture or obstructions are blocking the radiator's heat output.
App cannot control the radiator
Verify that the radiator is connected to your Wi-Fi network and that your smartphone has an active internet connection. Close and reopen the Tuya app. Try unpairing and re-pairing the radiator within the app.
