Rointe Electric Radiators Ireland
Kyros, Sygma & Belize

Rointe is a Spanish electric heating manufacturer with over 40 years of experience in electric radiator design and engineering. The range is manufactured in Girona, Spain, and distributed across Ireland and the UK through authorised trade partners. Rointe electric radiators are designed for A-rated energy performance, using thermal fluid technology in an aluminium alloy body across the range.

In Ireland, Rointe electric radiators are increasingly specified by electrical contractors for properties without gas connections, particularly new builds, extensions, holiday homes, and retrofit heating projects where gas boiler installation is not viable or cost-effective.

Rointe Ranges: Kyros vs Sygma vs Belize

All three ranges use Rointe's thermal fluid heating technology and share a ±0.2°C thermostat with 24/7 programming and open window detection. They differ in control type (integrated WiFi and app control versus an on-radiator panel with optional Remote), wattage options, and IP rating.

The Three Rointe Ranges Explained

• Kyros, the flagship WiFi model Uses Rointe's thermal fluid technology in an aluminium body, with 24/7 programming, integrated WiFi control via the ROINTEX app, and open window detection. The top-tier model in the range, best for rooms in continuous use such as living rooms and open-plan kitchen-diners. Wattages: 600W, 750W, 1,000W, 1,800W.
• Sygma, the programmable non-WiFi model Uses the same thermal fluid technology as the Kyros, but as the simpler, more basic model: control is via its own mechanical panel with a built-in 24/7 programmer, and a Remote control can be added as an optional extra rather than built-in WiFi. The preferred specification for rooms with intermittent occupancy: spare bedrooms, home offices, or guest rooms. Wattages: 600W, 750W, 1,000W, 1,800W.
• Belize, bathroom-ready with IP44 Includes models with IP44 water-ingress protection, suitable for bathroom Zone 2/3 installation. Like the Kyros, the Belize uses thermal fluid technology and includes integrated WiFi as standard. The standard Rointe specification for en-suites, utility rooms, and other damp locations. Confirm the IP rating on the specific model, IP44 applies to specific SKUs in the range, not all.

Specifying Rointe: Wattage and Room Sizing

The correct wattage depends on room volume, insulation level, and heat loss calculation. As a rule of thumb for Irish domestic properties (moderate insulation, double glazing):

Rule of thumb only, not a substitute for a proper heat loss calculation. Our full buying guide covers wattage, thermostat accuracy, IP rating and smart controls: how to choose an electric radiator in Ireland.

Installation: What Electricians Need to Know

Rointe electric radiators are plug-in or hardwired depending on the model. Most Kyros, Sygma, and Belize models are supplied with a 13A plug for direct connection to a fused spur. Some higher-wattage models may require a hardwired radial circuit from the consumer unit, confirm with the product datasheet before ordering.

• Plug-in models (600W to 1800W): require a 13A fused spur within cable reach, no special circuit required
• Hardwired installation: 2.5mm² radial circuit from the consumer unit, standard installation per IS 10101
• Bathroom Belize models: install per IS 10101 bathroom zone requirements, IP44 models are suitable for Zone 2/3
• WiFi commissioning: for Kyros and Belize, ROINTEX app setup requires 2.4GHz WiFi at the installation point, confirm with the homeowner before commissioning. Sygma has no built-in WiFi; a Remote control can be supplied as an optional extra instead

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between Rointe Kyros, Sygma and Belize?

  Kyros, Sygma and Belize all use Rointe's thermal fluid heating technology. Kyros and Belize include integrated WiFi and app control as standard; Kyros is best for living rooms and open-plan spaces, Belize for bathrooms with its IP44 models. Sygma is the simpler, non-WiFi model, programmed via its own panel with a Remote control available as an optional extra, best for bedrooms and intermittent-use rooms. Full breakdown in Kyros vs Sygma vs Belize.
• What wattage Rointe radiator do I need?

  For average Irish insulation: 750W under 10m², 1,000W for 10 to 15m², 1,800W for 15 to 20m², and 2,000W or two units for open-plan spaces over 20m². Use a heat loss calculation for accurate specification.
• Do Rointe radiators need a special electrical circuit?

  Most models are supplied with a 13A plug for connection to a fused spur, so no special circuit is required. Some higher-wattage models may need a hardwired 2.5mm² radial circuit from the consumer unit, confirm with the product datasheet.
• Which Rointe radiator can go in a bathroom?

  IP44-rated models in the Belize range suit bathroom Zone 2/3 installation under IS 10101. Not all Belize units are IP44, so confirm the IP rating on the specific SKU. EEW branch staff can check before you order.
• Are Rointe radiators expensive to run?

  A 1,000W Rointe costs approximately €0.27 per hour at average 2026 Irish electricity rates. The ±0.2°C thermostat and 24/7 programmer cut total run-time versus basic electric heaters. Full cost tables in are Rointe radiators expensive to run?
