FAQs

Can this element be used in any radiator?

This element is suitable for electric designer radiators, dual-fuel systems, and towel rails with a minimum tube length of 64cm and a 1/2 inch BSP inlet. It is not designed for standard water-filled central heating radiators.

How do I control the element remotely?

You can control the element remotely using the Tuya app, which allows you to set schedules, adjust temperatures, and select modes via your smartphone, provided the element is connected to your Wi-Fi network.

Is this heating element safe for bathrooms?

Yes, the element has an IPX4 rating, which means it is resistant to water splashes, making it suitable and safe for use in bathroom environments when installed correctly.

What is the warranty period?

The electriQ Heating Element comes with a 2-year warranty.

Does it require professional installation?

The element offers both plug-in and hardwired options. While plug-in installation is straightforward, hardwiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.

What temperature range can I set?

You can set the room temperature precisely between 7°C and 30°C using the thermostatic control.

What does 'dual-fuel' mean in this context?

For a towel rail, 'dual-fuel' means it can be heated either by your central heating system or by the electric element, allowing you to use it independently of your main heating.

Troubleshooting

Element not powering on

Check that the power cord is securely plugged in or that the hardwired connection is correct. Verify the circuit breaker is not tripped.

Wi-Fi connection failed

Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz, not 5GHz. Check that the password is correct and the element is within router range. Restart your router and the heating element.

Temperature is inaccurate

Ensure the electronic temperature sensor is not obstructed by direct sunlight or drafts. Allow the room temperature to stabilize after setting changes.

Heating cycle does not start

Verify that a heating mode is selected and the temperature setting is higher than the current room temperature. Check the programmed schedule if 'Weekly Timing' or 'Timed Heating' is active.
