8 ELECTRIC.IE • The Magazine & Website for the Irish Electrical Industry • Rointe Smart Heating, Built Around the Installer For an installer, better heating technology should not mean a more complicated job. It should mean fewer products to handle, faster installation, easier maintenance and a system that is straightforward for the customer to use once the handover is complete. That is the thinking behind Rointe’s latest generation of connected electric heating. At the centre of the range is Inverter Smart Adaptive Technology. Instead of operating like a traditional PID controller, repeatedly switching at full power as temperature moves around the setpoint, Rointe’s system continuously adjusts output to match the real heating demand. Independent testing shows 12% lower energy consumption than an equivalent PID-controlled radiator under the same test conditions. For installers, however, the benefit goes beyond the energy figure. Inverter control has also allowed Rointe to simplify the core radiator offer around three principal outputs: 600W, 1,200W and 1,800W. That means fewer standard sizes to understand, transport and keep available, while the radiator itself modulates output once installed. Shortformat models are also available for projects where wall space requires a different form factor. A more consistent platform also helps installers become familiar with the product faster, simplifying repeat jobs, troubleshooting and routine support across multiple different installations. The result is a more flexible approach to specification without returning to the complexity of the older seven-size range. Standard installation is equally straightforward: selected Rointe inverter radiators are supplied with a plug, brackets, installation kit, template, cable and user instructions, helping reduce preparation time on site. One app, one connected heating ecosystem Hardware is only part of the story. Rointe Nexa brings the connected heating range together in one control environment, allowing radiators, connected towel rails, storage heaters and underfloor heating to be managed from a smartphone. Products connect directly through WiFi Direct, removing the need for additional gateways or smart boxes. Bluetooth pairing supports setup, while Nexa allows products to be organised individually or by room, floor or zone. Installers can configure schedules, activate functions and set operating parameters before handover, giving the customer a system that is already organised around the way the property is used. That becomes particularly useful in rental properties, student How Inverter Smart Adaptive, Rointe Nexa and a simplified product range make specification, installation, maintenance and control easier from first fix to handover.
