Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Cornel Electric Radiator generate heat without being connected to a central heating plumbing system?
The radiator is filled with a special thermal liquid. An electric element inside heats this liquid. The hot liquid moves around inside the columns and warms up the metal surface. This heat then spreads into your room to keep you warm without needing any gas pipes.
What is the process for installing the Cornel Electric Radiator and does it require a qualified electrician for hardwiring?
Installation is very easy because there is no plumbing. You mount it to the wall using brackets. We recommend asking a professional electrician to wire it directly into your wall. This looks neater because there are no plugs showing and it is safer for high power heaters.
How does the intelligent Open Window Function on the Cornel Electric Radiator detect drafts to prevent energy wastage?
This smart feature watches the room temperature all the time. If it sees the temperature drop very fast, like when a door or window is open, it stops heating. This saves you money because the radiator will not try to heat the outside air.
Can I install the Cornel Electric Radiator in a bathroom zone and is it safe for use in damp environments?
You can use electric radiators in bathrooms but you must be careful. You need to check if the radiator is rated for the specific zone in your bathroom. Always let a qualified electrician install it to ensure it is safe from water and moisture.
How do I calculate the correct wattage like 800W or 1200W for my specific room size to ensure efficient heating?
You should use a BTU calculator or ask an expert. A bigger room needs more watts to stay warm. If you choose a radiator with low watts for a big room it will not get warm enough. It is better to have a bit more power than you need so the heater does not work too hard.
Does the Cornel Electric Radiator require regular maintenance such as bleeding air or topping up the internal fluid?
No you do not need to do any messy work. The radiator is sealed tight so the liquid never leaks out. You never need to bleed it like a normal radiator. Just wipe the dust off it now and then to keep it clean.
What is the specific difference between the 10 year radiator guarantee and the 2 year electrical element guarantee?
The metal body of the radiator is very strong and is guaranteed to last for 10 years. The electric part that makes the heat is an electronic device which has a 2 year guarantee. If the electric part breaks after 3 years you can usually just replace that part without buying a whole new radiator.
Can I program the heating schedule for individual days of the week using the built in digital thermostat?
Yes you have full control. You can set a different schedule for every day of the week. This means you can have the house warm on Saturday morning but keep the heating off on Monday when you are at work.
How heavy is the Cornel Electric Radiator and do I need to install special wall stays to support the weight?
These radiators are made of steel and can be heavy. The box includes strong wall brackets to hold it up. If your walls are not very strong like plasterboard you might need extra support. You can use wall stays to help secure it firmly so it does not pull off the wall.
Will the Cornel Electric Radiator retain heat effectively after the power is switched off compared to a standard panel heater?
Yes it holds heat very well. Because it is a column radiator filled with thermal liquid it stays warm for a long time after it turns off. Standard panel heaters usually get cold the second you turn them off. This makes the Cornel better for keeping a steady temperature.
Can I use the Cornel Electric Radiator as the primary heat source for a room or is it only suitable for supplementary heating?
You can definitely use it as your main heater. It is powerful enough to warm up a whole room on its own. Just make sure you pick the right size and wattage for the space you want to heat.
How does the thermostatic control ensure the room stays at a precise temperature without overheating or wasting electricity?
The thermostat acts like a brain for the heater. You set the temperature you want. When the room reaches that level the heater stops using power. It only turns back on when the room gets cool again. This stops it from getting too hot and wasting your money.
What happens to my programmed heating settings if there is a sudden power cut or electricity failure in my home?
Most modern electric radiators have a memory function. When the power comes back on the radiator should remember your settings. You usually do not need to program the whole schedule again after a power cut.
Is the thermal liquid inside the Cornel Electric Radiator toxic or dangerous if a leak were to occur in the unit?
The liquid is designed to be safe for home use. Leaks are very rare because the unit is sealed very well. If you do see a leak turn the power off at the wall and contact the support team immediately.
Does the Cornel Electric Radiator produce any noise such as clicking or buzzing during its heating cycles?
It is almost completely silent. You might hear a very quiet click when the thermostat turns on or off but it does not make buzzing or gurgling noises like some old pipes do. It is great for bedrooms where you need quiet.
Can I paint the Cornel Electric Radiator a different color to match my interior design or will that damage the finish?
We do not recommend painting it yourself. The factory finish is special and handles high heat. If you paint it with normal paint it might peel or smell bad when it gets hot. It is best to buy the colour you want from the start.
How long does it take for the thermal liquid inside the radiator to reach maximum operating temperature after switching on?
It heats up quite fast. You will feel warmth in a few minutes. It might take about 15 to 20 minutes to get fully hot depending on how cold the room is when you start.
Are the necessary wall mounting brackets and fixings included in the packaging of the Cornel Electric Radiator?
Yes the box comes with the brackets you need to hang it on the wall. You just need to make sure you have the right screws and plugs for your specific type of wall like brick or wood.
How does the Cornel Electric Radiator help with condensation and damp issues in colder rooms of the house?
Damp happens when warm air hits cold walls. By keeping the room at a steady warm temperature this radiator stops the walls from getting too cold. This helps prevent water from forming and stops mold from growing.
Is the Cornel Electric Radiator compatible with smart home systems or can it be controlled via a smartphone app?
The standard Cornel model uses controls on the unit itself. It does not usually connect to Wi-Fi out of the box. However since it is electric you can sometimes control the power supply with a separate smart plug if you want simple on and off control from your phone.
