1. The Rointe KYROS and D Series

At number 1 on our list, the Rointe KYROS and D Series radiators are by far the most affordable, energy efficient, and sleek radiators that you can find on the market to date. They offer the same modern design with a variety of high-quality features ranging from tactile control panels to low energy consumption with 38% of nominal power consumption coefficients. Also, they are incredibly easy to install, whether you wish to do it yourself or hire a professional installation technician.

Ease of Use

Owners will be able to download the easy-to-use Rointe App, which is a comprehensive application that you can access through your smartphone, tablet, or home computer and is a large part of making your radiator more efficient. Through the Rointe App, you will be able to track your daily consumption of energy, stop and start your radiator remotely, change temperature settings, and more. It essentially turns your mobile device into a remote control for the unit.

Power and Size

Every Rointe unit is injected with a high-grade aluminum that allows the unit to disperse the most amount of heat all through natural air convection. Depending on the model that you purchase (whether curved or straight), the air holes are designed to provide an even distribution of warm air throughout the room with the perfect level of humidity. Each unit is also designed to house a thermal fluid that is constantly running at approximately 50 ºC with a boiling point of 330 ºC, helping to make sure that the molecular structure of the radiator remains intact throughout the years.

Safety Features

Rointe radiators are perfect for children and pets, as the unit maintains a very low surface temperature to help avoid any accidents with people in your home. As an example, if you have the unit set for 21ºC, the surface temperature will only be at 40 ºC, eliminating the chance of burns. This is also a reason as to why Rointe radiators are great for public or private spaces.

Efficiency

By far the largest selling point of any Rointe unit is the fact that they are incredibly energy efficient due to the implementation of Fuzzy Logic, a technology that no other radiator can take advantage of. The Fuzzy Logic Energy Control is essential for maintaining the amount of energy needed to heat up a room at a reasonable amount. When you first install the Rointe unit, Fuzzy Logic will estimate the amount of energy needed at every second until it reaches your desired temperature. As time progresses, the smart technology will reduce the amount of required energy meanwhile ensuring that the temperature remains within +/- of .25 ºC for your chosen temperature. This gives you the ability to take advantage of 38% effective power consumption.

Other Interesting Features

If you opt for the D Series radiators, you will have easy control of the thermostat with the help of a tactile control panel, where you can change the temperature, program the unit, set a timer, look at the time of day, and more. It also helps to add a more modern appeal to an otherwise ordinary item that you would have in your home.

Overall, there are many different radiator units that you can choose from but Rointe has the features, style, and power that the others don’t. Their efficiency, modern appeal, installation benefits, and ample amount of controls are just a few of their best selling features. If you’re looking for the most power for an affordable price, these units are your best bet.
