Signify has expanded its EcoLink home appliance portfolio in India with instant and storage water heaters, alongside WinterComfort oil-filled radiator (OFR) room heaters. The launch brings the brand into two additional appliance categories, with app-based scheduling on select water heaters and digital or analogue controls across the room heater range.
Among the new products, the ThermoQuad Smart water heaters support the WiZ app, allowing users to switch on heating remotely and set schedules. Voice control is also available through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri Shortcuts. Here are the pricing, availability and feature details.

The products will be available through Signify's direct-to-consumer channels, Amazon India, Philips Smart Light Hubs and leading retail outlets. Signify also says it offers a 24-hour installation service promise across more than 300 cities. Free installation and connecting pipes are included with the storage water heater range, subject to the applicable model and service terms.
EcoLink Water Heaters: Features and Specifications
ThermoQuad Smart leads the connected range, with 15-litre and 25-litre options. WiZ app support lets users schedule heating around their routine, such as having hot water ready before a morning bath, rather than switching the heater on manually each time.
Alongside the smart models, EcoLink has introduced ThermoQuad square storage water heaters and ThermoVault vertical cylindrical models. Both come in 10-litre, 15-litre and 25-litre capacities and carry a BEE 5-star rating, according to Signify. The ThermoGo instant water heaters are offered in 1-litre, 3-litre and 5-litre capacities.
For the storage range, Signify is highlighting protection against corrosion and hard-water conditions. Its GlassVault technology uses a glass-enamel lining fused to the steel tank, while the DuraCore heating element combines an Incoloy 800 nickel-chromium alloy with a protective glass coating. The company says these features are designed to improve durability in Indian water conditions.
HeatLock insulation uses high-density polyurethane foam to retain heat and reduce the need for reheating. The storage models have a 2kW heating power rating and can withstand pressure of up to 8 bar. Signify also lists temperature displays, touch controls, automatic thermal cut-off, pressure release, and protection against overheating and dry heating among the range's features.
EcoLink WinterComfort OFR Room Heaters: Features
WinterComfort is available in digital and analogue versions. The digital model has 11 Z-shaped fins, a touch control panel, a temperature display and an RF remote. The analogue models come in 11-fin and 13-fin configurations, with a hybrid fin design, an adjustable thermostat, 360-degree wheels and a cord winder.
Signify's Super Turbo PTC feature adds a ceramic heating element for supplementary warmth. The analogue range offers up to 400W of additional heating, taking the total output to 2,900W, while the digital model has a total output of 2,700W. Signify lists ECO, COZY and BOOST heating modes for the range.
Safety features include tip-over auto cut-off and thermal protection. A SafeStore feature is designed to help prevent oil spills when the radiator is stored flat. The WinterComfort range comes with a two-year warranty, subject to terms.
