What do you mean by smart electric heaters?
I've seen both storage and non-storage heaters labelled as 'smart electric' so I was curious as to whether the OP had a specific manufacturer or model in mind.
Might be an option to keep the heaters you have but power them from a smart supply of some sort, so you can turn them on/off remotely? The likes of the Philips Hue Smartplug is rated for 2.8kW for example. Or if they’re hardwired something like this might do the job - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Universal-Automation-Assistant-Compatible/dp/B06WWNBD3Y/ref=asc_df_B06WWNBD3Y/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=256110712503&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12559220805502028595&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9047193&hvtargid=pla-420324200333&psc=1. You just need to be sure whichever smart switch/relay you go for is suitable for the maximum current the heater can draw.I was thinking of changing from 2 storage heaters both minimum 15 years old to electric heaters which can be controlled by wi fi as I live 80 km from the property.
You probably could go for something like Technotherm that have partial storage heating via tablets rather than the traditional brick - best of both worlds.I was thinking of changing from 2 storage heaters both minimum 15 years old to electric heaters which can be controlled by wi fi as I live 80 km from the property.

Depends what your use case is - assuming if you are 80km away you want to trigger heating before you get there? Or just frost prevention?
