Best Smart Electric Heaters 2024 – WiFi programmable electric heaters & radiators
I originally wrote this guide back in November 2021 when energy prices started to soar. Over two years later, things I have not improved much and the cost of living continues to have an impact on most people.
With the current cold snap and my recent review of the AENO Seasonal Premium Eco panel heater, I thought it would be a good time to update this post with new and relevant recommendations.
If you have gas heating I have covered smart thermostats before. Companies such as Genius Hub and Tado both have smart thermostatic radiator valves which allow you to warm up different parts of your home at different times, saving quite a lot on energy bills.
I have previously reviewed the excellent but expensive Haverland SmartWave smart electric radiator, which is an excellent option if you want whole home control of your electric heaters.
To preface my recommendations, a lot of these heaters will be more expensive than their non-smart counterparts, so there is no guarantee they will save you money overall. However, setting up schedules for them to go on and off only when needed should, in theory, save you money in the long run.
Panel / Convection Heaters

I recently reviewed the Aeno Premium Eco, and it is superb, but it does have a high upfront cost. This claims to do infrared heating, which will provide a direct transfer of heat from the heater to the object without heating the air in between. Infrared heating is supposed to be much more efficient than convection, and this appears to be reflected in the much lower power usage of this heater.
I was a big fan of this heater as it is possible to set it up within the Smart Living app and then integrate it with third-party ecosystems such as Home Assistant, allowing you to integrate it with all the other devices within your smart home.

Mill Heat 99450 Portable Convection Heater
No products found.
- Output – 1.2Kw
- Approximate Price: £120
- Freestanding
- Panel / Convection heater
This heater was on my original recommendation list, but since then, several reviews have come in stating various issues with the WiFi and poor support. I am leaving it on the list as it is still an option, but I’d recommend selecting one of the other choices.

This is the only oil-filled option I could find with some decent reviews. Quite ugly compared to the panel options, but these tend to be a good option as temporary solutions that you may move around the home. Oil radiators are often regarded as being more efficient than panel heaters, they take longer to warm up but slower to cool down.
This is another Tuya/Smart Life-compatible product.

- Output – 0.5Kw / 0.75Kw / 1Kw / 1.5Kw

This was on my original list and had no reviews at the time, but it now has quite a few poor reviews. Issues inbclude it being a nightmare to set up and the Amazon EU models not working with the UK Alexa skill.
Being oil-filled they work in a similar manner, they take a while to heat up but are also slow to cool down and they work well when used for longer periods vs the short blast you may have from a panel heater.
Fan Heaters
