The UK Radiators Alpha Electric 2 Column Radiator is an ideal heating solution for homeowners seeking a traditional cast-iron aesthetic combined with modern, smart-home functionality in smaller living spaces. This grey, electric-powered radiator offers consistent heat output and precise temperature management via a WiFi-connected thermostatic element controlled through a mobile app; however, users should note that as an electric-only unit, it requires a dedicated power source and is not compatible with standard central heating plumbing.

No, this is an electric-only radiator and does not connect to central heating pipework.
Yes, manual overrides are typically available on the heating element interface, though the app provides full functionality.
This specific Alpha Electric model is rated at 300W.
Given its traditional style and construction, it is heavier than standard panel radiators; ensure you have appropriate wall fixings.
It is not recommended, as applying non-specialized paint can affect the radiator's heat dissipation and void the warranty.
Yes, the radiator comes equipped with the WiFi thermostatic element as described.
Ensure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network, as many smart elements do not support 5GHz bands.
Check the power supply at the fused spur and ensure the thermostatic element is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature.
Calibrate the internal thermostat via the mobile app and ensure the unit is not located directly underneath an open window or draft source.
Installation of the Alpha Electric radiator is designed to be efficient for those with access to an electrical outlet or fused spur. The unit utilizes a standard 1/2 inch BSP fitting for the element. It is essential to ensure the wall surface is load-bearing, as the cast-iron style build carries significant weight. To maintain the finish, regularly dust the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can strip the grey powder coating. If the unit is used in a bathroom, ensure it is installed outside of designated zones or according to local electrical safety regulations for bathroom heating.
