Dimplex Edel is a highly efficient hot water heat pump that uses energy extracted from external fresh air to heat water. Utilising low-carbon renewable energy, this heat pump is a highly efficient solution for generating domestic hot water in new houses, apartments and refurbishment projects. With an impressive Coefficient of Performance (COP) and low energy consumption, Edel offers high performance and energy savings.
Why choose an Edel Hot Water Heat Pump?
Compact unit fiting standard service cupboards for simpler space design
In-built legionella protection control function to ensure safe and secure hot water supply
RF enabled, allowing remote control and monitoring via a smart device when purchased with a Dimplex Control Hub
Independently tested by KIWA and certified to EN 12897 to meet building regulations
How it works
The Edel Hot Water Heat Pump consists of a ducted system to supply external air to an air source heat pump mounted on top of a water cylinder. The heat pump collects energy from the air and converts this into heat, which is then transferred to the water within the cylinder, creating hot water.
Efficiency
With an impressive Coefficient of Performance (COP) of up to 3.36 and an average energy consumption of only 250W, Edel offers high performance and energy savings. For increased sustainability, Edel models can integrate with PV panels using a PV optimiser to divert solar energy to the heat pump’s compressor, generating hot water without relying on grid electricity. By reducing carbon emissions and improving EPC ratings, Edel is an environmentally friendly choice that also offers low running costs.
Saftey
Safety is paramount with Edel, it features a robust stainless steel cylinder with a non-porous surface that provides more resistance to bacteria and is compatible with diverse water qualities. It's in-built legionella protection control function ensures a safe and secure hot water supply.
Take control with Dimplex
All three Edel models are radio frequency (RF) enabled, allowing remote control and monitoring via a smart device using the Dimplex Control app, when purchased with a Dimplex Control Hub.
Dimplex Smart Heating System
Edel can be installed alongside the Q-Rad electric radiator and the Quantum electric HHR storage heater to provide a highly efficient electric hot water and space heating solution that can be controlled remotely via a smart device, when purchased together with Dimplex Control Hub and help reduce energy costs.
Quantum is a modern and stylish high heat retention (HHR) storage heater using intelligent and adaptive controls to make it one of the most advanced and economical electric heaters on the market. The design of Quantum is complemented by Q-Rad. When installed together, they create a highly effective and economical electric space heating solution.
QuantumQ-Rad is our most intelligent electric radiator yet. The slim electric radiator design complements the Quantum range of high heat retention storage heaters and can be used along with the Edel hot water heat pump for a complete smart electric home heating solution.

New build houses and apartments
The Edel hot water heat pump is designed for ease of installation and use, arriving pre-plumbed and pre-wired with an in-built control. Its compact size allows for flexible installation, fitting easily into a standard service cupboard or placed out of sight in a garage or utility room. Advanced design features ensure low operational noise. Edel features a robust stainless steel cylinder with a non-porous surface that provides more resistance to bacteria and is compatible with diverse water qualities.
Residential refurbishment
The Edel hot water heat pump is a low-carbon energy-efficient solution for the reliable provision of domestic hot water. Edel helps reduce an existing dwelling’s carbon emissions, helping to improve the EPC ratings of refurbishment projects when modelled in RdSAP. Edel can be installed with the RF enabled Dimplex Quantum high heat retention (HHR) storage heater and Dimplex Q-Rad electric radiator, forming an all-electric heating and hot water system. This setup allows owners or residents of modern smart homes to manage all supported Dimplex products anytime, anywhere.
Social housing
The Edel hot water heat pump provides a low-carbon energy-efficient solution for the reliable provision of domestic hot water for social housing. Edel helps reduce carbon emissions across all new and existing dwelling types. When used for modelling in SAP 10.2 and RdSAP, Edel can help achieve updated Part L compliance and improve EPC ratings. Edel requires minimal maintenance and servicing, with the stainless steel cylinder coming with a five-year warranty via online registration and other parts covered for two years, providing extra reassurance in the social housing sector.
Student accommodation
In highly insulated student buildings, where hot water is the highest energy demand service, Edel helps reduce carbon emissions and can be installed with electric panel heaters for a cost-effective hot water and space heating solution. The compact size of Edel means it can be installed inside a standard service cupboard without reducing the living space in self-contained student accommodation. Simply set the hot water temperature, and Edel will manage the hot water storage for you.
Retirement and assisted living
The Edel hot water heat pump is a cutting-edge solution for safe, energy-efficient hot water generation and storage, ideal for retirement and assisted living properties. Safety is paramount with Edel, which features advanced legionella protection to ensure the highest water quality standards. The low maintenance and service requirements coupled with user-friendly controls and low operational noise make it an ideal choice in the retirement and assisted living sector. Edel can be installed together with LSTE low surface temperature panel heaters, designed for spaces where safety is critical, to provide a highly energy-efficient, fully electric hot water and space heating solution.
