Signify expands EcoLink portfolio in India with smart water heaters and OFR room heaters

Signify announced the expansion of its EcoLink portfolio in India into water heating and OFR room heating. The water heater range includes storage and instant water heaters, with ThermoQuad Smart models offering WiZ app connectivity and voice control through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri Shortcuts. The portfolio also includes WinterComfort oil-filled radiator (OFR) room heaters.

With this launch, Signify is extending EcoLink beyond its existing portfolio into two home appliance categories that address everyday household needs. The water heater range combines connected controls with technologies designed to protect against corrosion, manage hard-water conditions and retain heat. The WinterComfort room heaters offer multiple room heating modes and an adjustable thermostat, and additional instant heating through Super Turbo PTC technology.

Commenting on the launch, Sumit Joshi, CEO & MD, Signify, Greater India, said, “When we launched EcoLink, we wanted to bring thoughtful design and dependable performance to everyday home appliances. EcoLink fans have been a strong proof point, earning recognition for design and introducing forms the category had never seen before. That success gives us the confidence to grow further. With our new heating range, we are bringing the same thinking to water heaters, using newer technology built for Indian conditions like hard water, and an uncompromising focus on build quality. Our goal is simple: products that families can trust for years, and an EcoLink brand that Indian consumers recognise, relate to.”

Elaborating on the portfolio expansion, C. Arun Kumar, Head of Consumer Business, Signify, Greater India, added, “When people choose a home appliance, they look at more than its basic function. They want to know how well it performs, how long it will last, how easy it is to live with and whether its design breaks the clutter, which is what EcoLink stands for. We built this range around those expectations, from tanks and heating elements designed for hard water to connected controls in ThermoQuad Smart. With our new heating range, we are bringing EcoLink to more households across India.”

EcoLink Smart Water Heaters: Connected control meets convenience

The EcoLink water heater range includes storage models in square and vertical cylinder designs, alongside instant water heaters.At the centre of the connected range is ThermoQuad Smart, available in 15-litre and 25-litre capacities. It connects to the WiZ app and supports Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri Shortcuts control, giving users the option to manage water heating through their phone or voice.

Users can switch the heater on remotely and schedule heating through the WiZ app to have hot water ready when they need it.

The storage portfolio also includes ThermoQuad square models in 10-litre, 15-litre and 25-litre capacities, and ThermoVault vertical cylinder models in the same capacities. These water heaters carry a 5-star rating from the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).

The ThermoGo instant range offers 1-litre, 3-litre and 5-litre options for different hot-water needs.

Key technologies across the storage range include:
