FAQs

Does this radiator require a boiler?

No, this is an electric radiator that functions independently of your central heating system.

Can I install this myself?

While the physical mounting is straightforward, the electrical connection should be completed by a qualified electrician.

Is the mobile app available for both iOS and Android?

Yes, the smart heating controls are compatible with major smartphone operating systems.

How do I clean the gold finish?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.

What is a 1/2 BSP connection?

This is the industry-standard thread size for radiator valves and fittings in the UK.

Can this be used as a primary heat source?

It is typically used for supplementary heating, but its suitability as a primary source depends on the insulation and size of your room.

Troubleshooting

Radiator fails to connect to WiFi

Ensure your smartphone is on a 2.4GHz network during setup and verify that the radiator is within range of the router.

Radiator is not producing heat

Check the power supply at the fused spur and ensure the smart thermostat is set to 'On' via the mobile application.

Inconsistent temperature regulation

Ensure the internal thermostat sensor is not obstructed by furniture or curtains, which can cause false temperature readings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Alpha 2 Column Electric Radiator, ensure the location is within range of your home WiFi signal to maintain smart functionality. Since this is an electric unit, the installation must be carried out in accordance with current electrical regulations, often requiring a fused spur connection. For maintenance, use only a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the gold surface; avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can mar the metallic finish. Periodically check that the electrical cable is secure and free from signs of wear or heat damage.
