Storage Heaters
Dimplex storage heaters are the most advanced electric storage heaters on the market, providing access to the lowest energy tariffs available from off peak electricity into their thermal energy store, helping to balance the electricity grid.
What is off peak heating?
Off peak heating provides a solution to modern building energy efficiency regulations as well as the increasing efforts to move to net zero. With heating making up a significant percentage of the UK's energy consumption, it is more important than ever to find heaters that can help manage energy demands. Modern storage heaters use off-peak electricity which is provided overnight when electricity demands are lower. This ‘off-peak’ period is supplied at a cheaper price than standard rate electric tariffs and also helps balance the demand for electricity throughout the day. Because a storage heater works by using energy from off-peak periods, users can enjoy reduced energy bills.
How do storage heaters work?
Over a number of hours, storage heaters use off peak energy to heat an internal heating element. The element gradually transfers the heat to very high-density energy retention cells that absorb and store the heat to heat your home the next day. The storage heaters use insulation material to retain as much of this heat for as long as possible. When in use, it pulls in cooler air, warming the air through the heater and then circulates it through the room.
What is high heat retention (HHR)?
High heat retention (HHR) storage heaters like Dimplex's Quantum provide additional layers of insulation to retain heat longer than a conventional storage heater. The extra insulation also helps keep the outside of the heater cool while it's not in use. HHR storage heaters also have a range of features to further increase energy efficiency like adaptive start and open window detection.
