SURELY ELECTRIC HEATING CONSUMES A LOT AND COSTS MORE? ABSOLUTELY NOT, QUITE THE OPPOSITE.
INTRODUCTION
Irrespective of the solution you decide on for your heating, the first thing you need to think about is how to improve the thermal insulation of your home. The energy costs of a house built in the 1970s or even before are double those of a modern home. By simply installing windows with latest generation double glazing you can make savings of around 20%.
MODULARITY
Every RADIALIGHT product comes with smart controls that allow you to create an autonomous heating system for the various zones of your home and even for each room. You can adjust the heating in each room to your specific needs, enjoying significant savings compared to a centralised system.
CORRECTLY SIZED
All RADIALIGHT products self-regulate the power supplied over time (thus consumption in kWh), based on the temperature set and, naturally, the temperature in your room at a given time.
This means that your radiator will never use its full power all of the time - it will only use the kWh needed to heat as and when you need it.
On our website you will find a useful calculator for each radiator, so that you can choose the best model based on the size of the room, how it is used, and where your home is located.
A slightly over-sized product will certainly consume less than a smaller one that may often have to operate at full power, making you spend more.
SMART ELECTRONICS FOR AN INFORMED USE OF YOUR HEATING, ALLOWING YOU SAVINGS
The consumption and, therefore, the saving challenge is won by using the correct control system, and RADIALIGHT technology offers you this.
The main functions available to you are listed, with a detailed explanation of how to make the best use of them. Forget the old electric radiators of the 1980s and 90s that created overly hot (or cold) moments, and shockingly high energy bills!
Informed use of your RADIALIGHT radiator allows you to achieve significant savings (up to 40% compared to before), because you can now heat intelligently: only as much, when, and how you want, keeping control of the heating system at all times.

PRECISION ADJUSTMENT OF WELLBEING
Our thermostats offer highly precise adjustment, with oscillations normally of around a few tenths of a degree of the temperature setting. Fluctuations will be minimal, and your body will not sense them. The sensation will always be that of uniform, all-embracing warmth, without excessive heat shocks and, more importantly, excessive cold ones – which would drive you to raise the setting, thus increasing consumption.
SETTING THE CORRECT COMFORT AND ENERGY-SAVING (ECO) TEMPERATURE
Adjustment precision allows you to set a precise, stable comfort temperature of 19°C, which will generate savings. Every degree lower than your old habits leads to an electricity saving of 7%.
A useful indicator on the display of many RADIALIGHT radiators warns you if you are using a comfort temperature that will cost you too much. You can also set an energy-saving (ECO) temperature that is lower than the comfort temperature, and, when the room is not occupied, this will reduce consumption even more. We recommend setting the energy-saving temperature at not more than 3.5°C lower than the comfort one, otherwise your radiator will take a lot longer and consume more power to get back to your preferred temperature.
WEEKLY PROGRAMMING
Adapting the use of heating to your routines and habits is one of the keys to saving.
All RADIALIGHT radiators offer you the option of setting a comfort or energy-saving temperature, or complete switch off of the heating, for each room, day, and time in the week, offering considerable savings and keeping the same temperature at all times for a period of 6 months.
SMART LEARNING OF YOUR HABITS
The new generation of KYOTO and AETHEREA radiators is even more intelligent. They save you the bother of weekly programming, automatically creating an operating programme based on the COMFORT and ECO temperatures you have set. You don't have to do anything: the radiator uses its presence sensor to ‘learn’ your habits on its own, and if your change them, it will update automatically.
OPEN WINDOW ALARM FUNCTION
Raise your hand if don’t open your windows to change the air in the rooms in the morning. As much as this can be seen as a healthy habit, it certainly does not help your electricity bill. In fact, at these times, a normal radiator will operate at full power, because it will interpret this as an event of anomalous cold.
The Open Window Alarm, with which all RADIALIGHT radiators are fitted, will automatically switch off the heating, going into stand-by mode, thereby avoiding pointless waste. Once the air has been changed and the windows are closed again, you can turn back on your radiator.
KNOWING YOUR RADIATOR'S CONSUMPTION
All radiators in the KLIMA, KLIMA WiFi, ICON , ICON WiFi, KYOTO and AETHEREA ranges provide information on electricity consumption in kWh for the previous 24 hours, week and month. You will know how you are using your heating and how much it is costing you at all times. This allows you to take timely cost-saving decisions, if necessary.
INTERCONNECTED PRODUCTS FOR UTMOST PRACTICALITY AND CONVENIENCE
Time is our most important resource, and RADIALIGHT connectivity allows you to save, operating your radiator remotely. Simply use the RADIALIGHT APP, available free of charge from iOS and Android stores, and a normal Wi-Fi network. Radiators in the KLIMA WiFi, ICON WiFi , KYOTO, or AETHEREA ranges can be interconnected. You can also use a number of products simultaneously and have control over your heating system in real-time, wherever you are. You can read consumption levels and costs and receive notifications on anomalous events such as sudden changes in settings or a power failure. Welcome to the world of the interconnected home. Welcome to the world of RADIALIGHT.
