Dynamic Boost auto mode

Default mode for most homes. Fans modulate continuously based on the temperature differential between flow water and room air. No manual setpoints — the radiator gives the room what it asks for, at the lowest fan speed that meets demand. Silent when the room is comfortable.

Three speed modes

Auto · Comfort · Eco. Auto follows the room. Comfort biases towards faster response (slightly higher fan speeds). Eco caps fan output at the lower end to prioritise silence and electrical efficiency. Selectable per unit or per zone.

Manual override knob

A discreet rotary dial at the side of the casing lets the occupant push fan speed up or down without unlocking the app. Reverts to scheduled behaviour after the next zone command. Useful for guest rooms and rented spaces where you don't want to expose smart controls.

Room thermostat input

Standard 0–10 V or thermostat-contact input — accepts signals from any building controller. Wire the room thermostat to the Strada and the fan boost ramps with demand. Integrates with Tado, Nest, Drayton, Loxone, KNX (via gateway), and the ACOND HeatUp app at the heat pump.

Heat-pump weather comp

The heat pump's weather compensation reduces flow temperature on mild days. The Strada's fan boost ramps up to compensate — so room output stays stable while system efficiency stays at peak SCOP. Best-of-both: the heat pump runs cool, the radiator still delivers full output.

Zone scheduling

Time-of-day temperature programmes per room or per floor, configured at the heat pump's control app. Bedrooms cooler at night. Living areas warm at 6pm. Holiday mode drops everything to frost protection. Schedules apply equally to heating and to summer cooling.

Eco mode

Caps fan boost at 50%. Useful for shoulder-season weeks when heat demand is modest and natural convection from the radiator does most of the work. Drops fan electricity to a few watts per unit, keeps acoustic signature at the lowest possible level.

Night-silent mode

Disables fan boost entirely between user-defined hours. Radiator behaves as a passive convector overnight. Useful for bedrooms in noise-sensitive properties. Resumes Dynamic Boost automatically at the morning schedule trigger.

Cooling changeover signal

Reads the heat pump's heat-or-cool changeover signal automatically. Reverses fan direction logic (fans now help shed heat from chilled water rather than carry it from warm water). One installer-set parameter, no per-season homeowner intervention.

1 · Low-XC core (the radiator itself)

Copper-aluminium heat exchanger holding only 0.6 L of water. Fine-pitch aluminium fins on copper tubes. Outputs vary by length and height — typical Strada sizes deliver 600 W to 2,200 W heating at A6/W35 (heat-pump flow temp), 350 W to 900 W cooling at 18°C flow. Powder-coated steel casing, choose RAL colour at order, blends with any interior. 50-year design life on the body.

2 · DBH fan unit

Two or three brushless DC tangential fans, modulating 0–100%. Mounted inside the casing along the base — invisible from outside. 24 V DC supply. Replaceable as a service item: the fan unit slides out from underneath without disturbing the heat exchanger or the pipework. Genuine Jaga spare parts available indefinitely.

3 · 24 V DC power supply

Wall-mounted PSU near the unit, 230 V mains in, 24 V DC out to the fan motor. One PSU serves up to four Strada DBH units (length-dependent). Concealed in the wall void above the radiator or in an adjacent cupboard. RCD-protected from the property's lighting circuit — no dedicated fused spur required.

4 · Valves & brackets

Standard G½" BSP connections — fits any TRV and lockshield from existing UK radiator stock. Jaga supplies matching brackets in chrome, white, or RAL-matched powder-coat. Mounted on the wall in the same positions as the radiator it replaces — no new chases, no new drilling beyond the bracket holes.

5 · Reversing valve (system-level)

A 3-way changeover valve at the heat pump's plant area routes flow to underfloor in winter and to Strada DBH in summer (or vice versa, depending on the system layout). One valve serves the whole house. Fitted at the buffer tank manifold. Specified during the heat pump survey, not at radiator level.

6 · System pipework

The Strada DBH uses the same flow and return pipes that fed the old radiator. In most retrofits this means no chasing, no lifting floorboards, no replumbing — the new emitter connects to the existing tail pipes with standard compression fittings. The heat pump installer verifies pipe size is adequate for the new combined heating + cooling duty during the heat-pump survey.

10-year body warranty

Jaga warrants the Strada heat exchanger and casing for ten years from commissioning. Covers the copper-aluminium core, the steel casing, and the powder-coat finish. Conditional on treated system water and a magnetic filter on the heating circuit (water-side warranty conditions). Both parts and labour covered.

2-year fan warranty

DC fan motors covered separately for two years. After that the fan unit is a £40-ish service item — slides out from below, no specialist tools, swappable in under fifteen minutes. Jaga commits to fan-unit availability for the lifetime of the radiator. No proprietary failure point.

50-year design life

Jaga publishes a 50-year design life on the Strada body. Low-water-content design means fewer freeze/expand cycles, less internal corrosion, and far lower mass to fatigue. Belgian-built to a long-life specification rather than a lowest-cost specification. The radiator outlives the heat pump that feeds it.

Quarterly grille wipe-over

The only routine maintenance the homeowner does. Wipe the top and bottom grilles with a soft cloth to remove dust. Hoover the fan inlet at the base once a season. Takes two minutes per unit, keeps fan acoustics at spec, and stops dust building up on the heat exchanger fins where it would otherwise dampen output.

Magnetic filter on the heating circuit

A magnetic filter on the heat pump return catches iron-oxide sludge from the old pipework before it reaches the Strada's narrow copper waterways. Mandatory for Jaga's 10-year warranty when retrofitting onto an existing wet system. Fitted in the plant area during the heat pump install, serviced annually.

Corrosion inhibitor

Dosed into the system fill water at commissioning. Stops mixed-metal corrosion between the heat pump's stainless components, the Strada's copper-aluminium core, and any remaining steel pipework. Re-dosed every 5 years as part of CleverBloom's service plan. Warranty-conditional on documented dosing.
