Installed Heating
Installed heating from Dimplex provides a robust, permanent, fitted electric powered system that is suitable for all types of room or for the whole home.
With the UK’s ongoing efforts to decarbonise heating, Dimplex electric heating solutions are a perfect solution: they are easy to install and offer great functionality and efficient energy use. There are two types of installed electric heater: direct-acting heaters which use standard rate electricity for instant heat, and storage heaters that absorb energy supplied at a lower price for slow release later.
What does electric heating mean to you?
Lower costs
Lower upfront costs when building or renovating a home, enabling faster build with greater freedom. Little to no service or maintenance required once installed.
Environmentally friendly solution
No carbon dioxide output helping to reduce carbon footprint of your home, helping to reduce environmental impact.
Saving money on energy bills
Take advantage of smart energy tariffs designed for modern storage heating, such as British Gas Dimplex Quantum Tariff
Smart heating controls
Helping you to manage your heating efficiently by responding to changing weather conditions and your requirements to maintain your ideal room temperature.

Storage Heaters
Storage heaters are electrical heaters that store heat generated from low-cost nighttime electricity and release it during the day.
Panel Heaters
Panel heaters are direct-acting heaters, able to heat a space up quickly by convection, and are a great solution for when instant heat is required.
Fan Heaters
Fan heaters work by using a fan to pass air over a heat source. The more air passes across the heating element the more quickly the temperature will rise in that area.
Featured product
Quantum
Designed, developed and manufactured in the UK by Dimplex, it stores up low-cost, off-peak energy to be used on demand through the day, making it the most economical electric heating on the market today
Towel Rails
Designed to provide warm, dry towels all year round, our range of towel rails can also provide background or full heat to help you meet your home’s unique demands.
Electric Radiators
Dimplex Electric Radiators are designed to perform and function in a similar way to traditional wet-filled radiators.
Supplementary Heaters
Heating products that address often difficult-to-heat areas such as conservatories, patios, garages and workshops, utility room, cupboards or corridors.
Water Cylinders
Electric water heating is an efficient method of heating water directly with electric immersion, reducing energy losses than can be experienced from pipework, and circulating pumps
Featured product
Q-Rad
Q-Rad is our most intelligent, Lot 20 compliant electric radiator yet, with attractive styling to match the Quantum off-peak storage range. It provides instant warmth through dual-element technology.

How does the Zeroth Energy System address domestic hot water demand and reduce primary energy use in apartments?
Domestic hot water (DHW) is typically the dominant energy load in modern, well insulated buildings. Ambient loops, such as the Zeroth Energy System can significantly reduce the annual CO2 emissions and primary energy use of large residential properties in two ways:
Balancing the DHW demand and output
Heating water to the required temperature at the point of use
We will consider how the technology achieves these reductions and what the impact is on modern developments.
How do ambient networks that use in-apartment heat pumps work?
Ambient networks typically consist of in-apartment water-to-water heat pumps connected via a central loop to a central plant. Each heat pump uses ambient water from the central loop to provide heating, hot water and even cooling into the apartment. For domestic hot water use, the heated water is stored in an unvented, integrated cylinder that sits below the heat pump module in the apartment, whilst the heating circuit could use emitters such as radiators, fan coils or underfloor arrays.
How do I know what capacity fan coil I need?
Working out what capacity fan coil unit you need requires a lot of factors to be taken into consideration from the outset of a project, including solar gains. These include building orientation, geographical location, envelope construction materials and infiltration alongside internal gains such as lighting, equipment and occupancy. These will have to be considered with any potential plans to install solar shading, as they all have an impact on the predicted performance of a building.
