Smart Heaters

You can control these heaters three ways: the built-in control panel, the TCP Smart app on iOS or Android, or by voice with Amazon Alexa or Google Hubs. Set schedules and timers in the app, switch the heater on from outside the house, or simply say the command to your speaker for hands‑free control. Most models only need a standard wall plug and your home Wi‑Fi to link to the app and voice assistants.

For a small bedroom, a compact 700W or 1000W ceramic electric radiator is lightweight and quiet enough for overnight use. For a large living room, a 1500W–2000W ceramic or an aluminium panel heater (available in 820 x 450mm or 1040 x 450mm sizes) will give stronger, more even heat. If you want quick spot warmth, a 2‑in‑1 infrared and convection panel or a wall‑mounted fan heater will warm people fast while still offering smart controls.

Yes, because you can heat only the rooms you use and set precise schedules and timers via the TCP Smart app, you avoid running central heating for the whole house. Portable models mean you can move a 1500W radiator into the living room for an evening rather than heating every room. Bear in mind a 2000W unit uses more power when on, so relying on timers and lower set temperatures will maximise savings.

Many models include safety features such as automatic shut‑off if they are tipped over and bladeless fan designs that reduce exposed moving parts. Ceramic radiators stay relatively cool to the touch compared with exposed‑element heaters, and wall‑mounted panels keep appliances out of reach. Still, position any portable heater away from flammable materials and on a stable surface for extra peace of mind.

Bladeless fan models are designed to be especially quiet and lightweight, ideal if you want minimal background noise. Ceramic electric radiators are also typically very quiet because they rely on convection rather than a loud fan. If silence matters in a bedroom or study, opt for a ceramic radiator rather than a high‑speed fan heater.
