Heat pumps
Renewable energy solutions for sustainable buildings using natural sources such as air, ground and water to provide heating, cooling and hot water.
Heat pumps are the perfect partner for heating and cooling systems designed to work at lower water temperatures, helping to support the design and construction of more energy-efficient buildings.
What do heat pumps mean for you?
All in one soluton
Heat pumps can be used to both heat a home or building as well as provide hot water.
Environmentally friendly solution.
No carbon dioxide output helping to reduce carbon footprint of your home.
Saving money on energy bills
Being more efficient than traditional sources, heat pumps consume less energy overall.
High output low noise
Heat pumps are a clean and quiet way to heat and cool your home.
Types of heat pumps
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
For new residential dwellings, monobloc and split system heat pumps are ideal solutions for efficient hot water generation and space heating.
Hot Water Heat Pumps (HWHPs)
A low-carbon technology for heating hot water, designed to be installed within a building.
Featured product
Edel
Our Edel RF Hot Water Heat Pump (HWHP) is a low carbon technology for heating hot water. This heat pump can create hot water up to 60°C, is high performance with low operational noise and is suitable for installation within service cupboards, garages and utility rooms.
Ambient loops
This system uses a network of water heat pumps connected to an ambient loop and can improve the energy performance of a building.
Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs)
ideal for projects where early consideration can be given to groundworks and infrastructure.
Water Source Heat Pumps (WSHPs)
This variation is best suited to developments that are located near a large body of water.
We offer a wide range of CPD UK and CIBSE accredited CPDs covering different aspects of the design and specification of heat pumps. All CPDs can be delivered online or in person.
CPDs
Dimplex is here to assist you in your project with expert information. Our frequently updated and curated content library is here to break down key information, finding you the correct specifications and saving you essential time for your project.
We can offer hands-on face-to-face training on Dimplex products, including heat pump principles and servicing, and a course covering our Edel hot water heat pump.

Our Heat Design Team
Need to understand the heat loss and load of a new project? Want to ensure your home is compliant with the latest sustainability regulations? Want to know how to budget for a new heating system?
Defining the Future of Compliance
The compliance system for new developments is set to drastically change over the next 16 months. The consultations for Approved Documents L and F, which are expected to take place towards the end of 2019, will be the only opportunity for industry to support or appeal these changes, which have a high potential to heavily impact building design, HVAC specification and the carbon-focused mindset of the industry.
Decarbonising heat and what lessons have been learnt?
Decarbonising heat is seen as a key area to address if the UK is to achieve its net-zero 2050 target. The scale, complexity, and cost of the transition to low carbon heating technology means the industry needs time and support to adjust to the changes it faces. The much-anticipated regulatory framework and clear strategy for the energy transition process should provide a reliable platform to take on the challenges on our journey to a low carbon future.
Debunking the misconceptions of electric panel heating
Modern, energy efficient electric panel heaters that offer a high level of control to users, whilst using low carbon energy, are unrecognisable from the inefficient, clunky panel heaters of the past. Despite technological advances, the perception of electric heating mostly relates to the old technology that grew in popularity with the advent of cheaper nuclear energy in the late 1950s. Traditionally, panel heaters in homes were accompanied by storage heating to make use of the energy generated ‘off-peak’ and assist with under-utilised night-time energy available on the grid. In addition, electric heating has long been a convenient form of secondary heating, for example with the use of portable fan heaters.
