Electrorad has launched Smartpanel, which is a new range that bears all the looks of conventional radiators but at panel heater prices.

Smartpanel is fully compliant with EcoDesign Lot 20, and all models in the range incorporates integral energy monitors to provide users with useful data on their energy usage.

As well as boasting Virtual Open Window Sensors - that sense a draft and stop heating until the window has been closed - the heaters also incorporate Adaptive Start Control, which learns when to switch the heaters on in order to achieve optimum household comfort and reduce energy consumption.

The Smartpanel range is designed to meet the needs of various room sizes and is available in five heat outputs - from 600w to 2kw. Each smartpanel boasts top-placed digital programmable controls offering, 24/7 programming (nine pre-programs and four custom), together with comfort, economy and frost protection modes, as well as a Reduced Surface Temperature option. Furthermore, all models feature Triac thermostats for greater accuracy of room temperature control, and are silent in operation when switching on and off.
