The Alpha 2 Column Electric Radiator in Bronze is designed for homeowners seeking a sophisticated heating solution that blends antique aesthetics with modern connectivity. It is perfect for supplemental room heating, offering the primary benefit of smartphone-controlled warmth independent of a central boiler system; however, users should note that as an electric-only unit, it requires a dedicated power source and is not compatible with standard wet central heating pipes.

No, this is an electric-only radiator designed to function independently of your home's central plumbing.
Most functions rely on the WiFi element, though manual overrides may be possible depending on the specific model's control interface.
The finish is durable, but regular dusting and avoiding harsh cleaning chemicals will help maintain its appearance for years.
It requires a standard mains electrical connection; please consult a certified electrician for safe installation.
Yes, through the companion mobile app, you can program specific schedules for different days of the week.
Ensure your smartphone is on the same 2.4GHz WiFi network and reset the radiator's connection mode as per the instruction manual.
Check the local electrical breaker or fuse to ensure power is reaching the unit and confirm the thermostat is set to a temperature higher than the current room temp.
Verify that the thermostatic sensor is not obstructed by furniture or curtains, which can cause false readings.
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure the unit is correctly fused and grounded. The radiator utilizes a standard 1/2 BSP connection, which is industry-standard for heating elements. Once installed, download the designated companion app on your smartphone to pair the radiator with your home WiFi network. Maintenance is minimal: simply dust the columns regularly with a soft, dry cloth to preserve the Antique Brass finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or chemical solvents, as these can strip the decorative coating. Periodically check the app for firmware updates to ensure the thermostatic element continues to function correctly with your mobile device.
