- Are panel heaters flammable?
Mill Panel Heaters are designed with safety in mind and are completely safe when used according to the instructions. Thanks to their x-aluminum heating element and low surface temperature, they can be safely left on unattended. All Mill products are CE-approved, meeting rigorous European safety standards. - Which panel heater is best?
Mill WiFi Panel Heaters consistently receive top reviews on platforms like Google Play and the App Store, making them the most user-friendly on the market. Additionally, the Mill App is regarded as one of the most popular smart heating apps. With Mill WiFi Panel Heaters, customers enjoy full control over heating temperatures and energy consumption, ensuring both comfort and energy savings. - What is a panel heater’s electricity usage and associated costs?
The electricity usage of Mill Panel Heaters depends on factors such as the desired room temperature, duration of use, and the heater’s wattage. We recommend 70-100 watts per square meter, although this may vary based on the insulation, ceiling height, and other room factors. Mill Panel Heaters are 1:1 energy-efficient, meaning the amount of energy consumed directly translates into heat. A 600-watt Mill Heater can consume as little as 73 kWh per winter month, demonstrating outstanding efficiency. You can estimate energy consumption using our online energy consumption calculator. - What kind of panel heater should I choose?
Mill offers two stylish, minimalistic designs: Invisible and Glass. Mill Invisible heaters seamlessly blend into your wall with soft edges and a gently curved front. Mill Glass heaters feature a sleek, contemporary glass front that suits modern interiors. Both designs are available in various wattages, ranging from 250W to 2000W. It’s important to choose a heater with sufficient wattage for the size of your room. You can also use multiple smaller heaters for optimal coverage. For added convenience, choose between models with day/night programs or WiFi control for flexible, energy-efficient temperature management. - Should I choose a panel heater with or without WiFi?
We recommend Mill WiFi Panel Heaters if your home has an internet connection. These heaters offer full control over both temperature and energy usage via the Mill App. You can program temperatures to adjust automatically according to your daily routines and monitor multiple heaters across different households. With Mill WiFi Panel Heaters, you can save energy by managing your home’s heating even when you’re away. If you already own a non-WiFi heater but want to upgrade, you can easily make it smart by adding a Mill WiFi Socket, which allows your existing heater to connect to WiFi and operate like a Mill WiFi Panel Heater.
- Which is better: panel heater or oil-filled radiator?
Both Mill Panel Heaters and Mill Oil-filled Radiators offer distinct benefits depending on your needs. Mill Panel Heaters are ideal for providing a consistent base temperature across larger spaces and can be safely left on unattended thanks to their x-aluminum heating element and low surface temperature. They are perfect for homes with wall space available for installation.
On the other hand, if you need a more portable and flexible heating solution, Mill Oil-filled Radiators are an excellent alternative. They do not require installation and can be easily moved between rooms. The heating element in Mill Oil-filled Radiators is not in direct contact with the air, which prevents dust from burning or drying out the air. This makes them an excellent option for homes with allergy or asthma sufferers, offering a healthier and more comfortable environment.
“It does not get easier than this; to achieve the right temperature at all times, and at the same time reduce power consumption.”

Mill WiFi Panel Heaters make it simpler than ever to achieve both everyday comfort and energy savings. Featuring advanced software and hardware upgrades, these heaters offer improved device connectivity, enhanced safety features, and technical functionalities like OTA updates and Local Res API. With these innovations, Mill WiFi heaters deliver the following benefits:
PID Control
Mill WiFi Generation 3 panel heaters are the first to incorporate PID control technology, a revolutionary feature that makes achieving consistent room temperatures easier than ever. This system ensures stable heating by adjusting power levels gradually when the desired temperature is reached, rather than switching off entirely. With Proportional – Integrated – Derivative (PID) control, Mill heaters maintain a steady, reliable temperature while maximizing energy efficiency, providing you with comfort without the hassle.
- Where should I place the panel heater? How many per room?
Mill recommends placing panel heaters under windows, as this helps prevent cold drafts from entering the room and promotes more efficient heating. In larger rooms, it is better to distribute heat evenly by using multiple smaller heaters rather than relying on a single large one. This ensures consistent warmth throughout the space.
What distance should I maintain between a panel heater and other objects, such as curtains or furniture?
To ensure safe and efficient operation, it is important to maintain the recommended minimum distance between Mill Panel Heaters and surrounding objects. According to the instruction manual, there should be at least 5 cm of clearance on the sides, and a 10 cm gap in front and above the heater. This allows for proper airflow and prevents any obstruction that could affect the heater’s performance.
- What is a cold draft?
A cold draft occurs when cold air from outside enters a room, often through a window. The cold glass of the window cools down the surrounding air, causing it to fall and spread across the floor. To prevent this, we recommend placing a Mill Panel Heater directly under the window. This placement will help block the cold air and create a more consistent, comfortable temperature in the room. Mill Panel Heaters come in various wattages and sizes, with special models designed for low windows, indicated by the letter “L” in the model name (e.g., IB1000LDN or GL850LWiFi3). - How do panel heaters work?
Mill Panel Heaters feature a large surface and a modern x-aluminum heating element that is in direct contact with the air. This design allows for efficient heat distribution, ensuring a more even and consistent warmth throughout the room, rather than a concentrated heat source. The low surface temperature of the heater itself also means it won’t dry out the air, helping maintain a comfortable indoor climate while providing steady heat. - Which panel heater should be used in children’s rooms?
All Mill Panel Heaters are safe for use in children’s rooms due to their x-aluminum heating element and relatively low surface temperature (maximum 69°C). They are designed with overheating protection that automatically shuts off the heater if it is accidentally covered. Mill Glass Panel Heaters are especially suitable for children’s rooms, as their tempered glass front absorbs less heat, keeping the surface temperature even lower—around 51°C for models between 600W and 1200W. Additionally, the back of the glass features a protective film that ensures the glass remains intact in the event of an accident. Mill Generation 3 heaters also come with a child safety lock function, which can be activated via the app or directly on the heater, preventing children from adjusting the temperature.
- How to clean a panel heater?
To clean your Mill Panel Heater, first turn it off and let it cool down. Use a slightly damp non-woven cloth to wipe the outer surfaces of the heater. If there is dust inside the unit, we recommend using a can of compressed air designed for cleaning electronic devices. Never open the panel heater yourself. If you need further assistance or have concerns, contact Mill HQ or your local distributor for support. - What is the difference between a panel heater and a heat pump?
Heat pumps work by converting outdoor air into warm indoor air using a compressor, and they need to be professionally installed in a specific location within the home. They are highly efficient for providing base heat over large areas. In contrast, Mill Panel Heaters are ideal for zonal heating, allowing you to precisely control the temperature and energy consumption in specific rooms. They are flexible, portable, and easy to install wherever you need heat. For optimal comfort, you can combine a smart heat pump with Mill WiFi Panel Heaters to manage heating across your entire home more efficiently.
