Ecostrad Allora Designer Electric Radiators

The Ecostrad Allora sets itself apart from other electric heating solutions because of its innovative design, reliability and exceptional quality. It’s an electric radiator uniquely designed to meet the needs of electric heating using Fast-Flo technology that enhances heat distribution and performance. It’s not converted to electric like so many low-end designer radiators – the Allora has been developed by experts solely for electric to provide comfortable warmth whenever it’s needed.

When you receive your Allora electric radiator, it will arrive pre-filled with the exact amount of fluid needed to provide optimal performance, allowing for quick and easy setup. All your installer will need to do to fit the element is remove the seal and screw it into place – no messy and time-consuming filling needed. The mineral oil inside the Allora also holds more heat versus standard oils and has an anti-freezing formula which will protect the electrical element when temperatures drop.

The Ecostrad Allora has been specially developed with electric heating in mind but this isn’t always the case for other designer radiators on the market.

Cheaper designer radiators are often just central heating radiators that are converted to work as electric by adding oil and a heating element. More often than not, this leads to problems because hydronic radiators aren’t equipped to deal with the modular way electric radiators work. Central heating radiators are designed to be part of a system where pressurised water is continually flowing, which means their internal structure doesn’t promote the flow of a non-pressurised liquid. In an electric radiator, the pressure of the thermal oil changes with temperature, so from a cold start when pressure is low, the heating medium can fail to reach across the whole body of a converted hydronic model. Another key reason why converted radiators often underperform is because poor flow can lead to overheating near the element, causing the radiator to repeatedly cut out. The Ecostrad Allora doesn’t have these issues because its design is customised to directly address these potential problems.

The Fast-Flo technology used in the Allora means that it has wider channels and larger apertures between the pipe joints to aid the circulation of thermal oil inside the radiator. Its collector pipe (the pipe which connects all of the front bars together) is also positioned lower to account for the variable pressure in an electric system, which ensures that the thermal oil will be able to reach every part of the radiator. This improved internal flow also stops hot spots from developing near the heating element, preventing overheating and effectively eliminating instances of the radiator cutting out. The Ecostrad Allora has been rigorously designed and tested by experts to deliver efficient heating that you can rely on day-to-day. Don’t be caught out by the low price point of cheap heaters you may see elsewhere – it’s always worth investing in quality to avoid disappointment.

Ecostrad Allora designer electric radiators are designed to be controlled via Bluetooth using the Terma Blueline heating app. The Blueline app provides access to full 24/7 programming so you can set a custom heating schedule, hour by hour, day by day across the whole week. Start times for your heating schedule can be programmed down to the half hour and multiple temperature levels can be set across each day. When programming your Allora electric radiator, the app also allows you to base temperatures on either the internal heat levels of the appliance or the ambient room temperature.

The MOA Blue heating element has a fixed 2-hour timer if accessed manually using its control panel, however, the app allows this to be refined down to smaller increments of time. An energy monitor function displays the running cost for each heater when you add your tariff rate to the app. This feature lets you compare the cost of running each heater and will show statistics per day, week or month to help you monitor your consumption. To ensure your rooms are comfortable and warm the moment you come to use them, the app also comes with an adaptive start function, which allows you to pre-heat your spaces ahead of time.
