FAQs

Can I use this radiator with my gas boiler?

No, the Alpha Electric Radiator is designed specifically for electric-only heating and cannot be plumbed into a wet central heating system.

Is a hub required for the WiFi features?

The radiator connects directly to your home WiFi network, so a separate hub is typically not required.

Does it have a manual override?

Yes, you can manage the temperature settings using the physical controls on the thermostatic element if you do not want to use the app.

What maintenance does the radiator require?

Very little. Occasional cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient. Do not use chemical cleaners.

Can I install this in a bathroom?

You should check the IP rating of the unit and local building regulations regarding the installation of electrical appliances in zones near water sources.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not connecting to WiFi

Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4GHz network and verify the radiator is within range of the router. Restart the pairing process as outlined in the instruction manual.

Unit not heating up

Check that the power supply is active and the thermostat is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature.

Inconsistent temperature

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

  • Electric-only setup simplifies installation compared to wet systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Alpha Electric Radiator should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes, as it requires a dedicated power supply. Ensure the wall mounting surface is solid enough to support the weight of the unit when filled with its internal heating medium.

For ongoing care, keep the exterior clean by wiping it down with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals, which may damage the white finish. Periodically check that the WiFi connection remains stable through the mobile app to ensure your heating schedules continue to run as programmed.
