Anyone learn anything about their electric cast iron rads? There is so little info on their website & I have clicked every option.

Apparently now their US home office is in Somerville Mass--

In one of their videos, & in various pics, it shows the electric attached, but in the same video & also in pics it also shows the same rad piped into the floor for water. ?!
I am so confused--because:
They also state it eliminates plumbing/pump/boiler etc, but shows it plumbed?!
I pulled the installation info, but it is just for the thermostat.

I'd love to know exactly how the cast iron electric rads work, as this might be an option for me.

It makes mention of the heating element, but doesn't say if the rad is fulled with fluid. ???


They need some help on the web end-there's just not enough info, & it's not user friendly. I am hoping someone here knows.

Their new US office is in Rocky Hill, Connecticut. They bought A-1 radiators in Somerville Mass. Yes there are electrified radiators are filled with a heat transfer fluid. They also sell refurbished radiators for their intended use as hot water or steam radiators. Electrified radiators are only practical in areas with inexpensive electricity or with a consumer that does not care what they are paying for electricity
