Rio Plus: electric radiators that take sustainability up a notch
A sustainable future requires effort from us all and, thankfully, technology is making it easier to contribute to a greener planet. Along with electric vehicles and the use of solar energy, modern heating systems with innovative product technologies help users to do their bit for the environment on a daily basis. Rio Plus radiators are a great example. With recently updated controls on our well-known Rio Compact, Plan and Linea radiators, they help generate more energy savings with precision temperature setting, and the integrated digital protocols facilitate custom heating so that no energy is wasted on unoccupied rooms.

Energy-efficient electric radiators
In terms of sustainability, electric radiators are already doing well. They convert every watt of electricity into heat, without generating any waste or emissions. Furthermore, they can easily be powered by electricity generated from a renewable energy source, such as solar panels (PV), to create a comfortable indoor climate that’s not only sustainable but also free of charge.
Additionally, Myson electric radiators are, as far as possible, made from recyclable materials. They are also filled with biodegradable vegetable oil, which allows them to operate with high levels of inertia. Consequently, our electric radiators are great at retaining heat, even when they’re turned off. They combine a lower energy consumption with long-lasting thermal comfort and this way become a good electric alternative for hydronic low-temperature radiators.
Smart electric radiators
The Rio Plus range of oil-filled radiators are available in various designs (Compact Panel, Flat Premium Panel and Profiled premium panel) to meet the highest standards. To minimise their ecological impact and maximise their ease of use, they are equipped with an integrated thermostat and precision temperature control, with integrated digital protocols that allow for custom heating options and optimal connectivity.
With a Unisenza Plus Gateway the controls turn the Rio Plus radiators into smart electric radiators that users can control via WiFi. They can be regulated via a user-friendly app on your smartphone or tablet, and when a home automation system, such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa, is installed, they can even be voice controlled.
Every radiator can be controlled separately, so users can save money and minimise energy waste by only heating the rooms they’re actually using, rather than needlessly heating the entire space. Furthermore, the app allows for a digital visualisation of the radiators’ energy consumption so that it’s easy to monitor and adjust the energy usage whenever and wherever needed.
Sustainable product in sustainable packaging
All our Rio Plus radiators comply with the European CE & UKCA marking and ECO Design directive. This guarantees that our radiators meet all ecological requirements and have a limited impact on the environment throughout their product life cycle.
To extend our focus on sustainability across the board, the Rio Plus radiators now also have a packaging composed of a majority of recycled or recyclable materials, which helps to reduce the product’s ecological footprint without compromising its safety during transport.
