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.

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.

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.
What is the requirement for HVAC system compliance for a collective housing application?
One regulatory requirement for collective housing applications, or large residential developments, is to comply with Part L of the Building Regulations. The updated Part L has been published and is concerned with the conservation of power and fuel in buildings. Fixed heating, ventilation and air conditioning services in new residential dwellings play a large part in achieving the required energy performance of a building and their targets and requirements are outlined in this Approved Document.
Seven key considerations that influence the specification of effective communal heat networks in high-rise apartments
Although certain requirements will vary from project to project, such as available space or the decision to include comfort cooling, there are seven key factors that ultimately impact the specification of a communal heat network within high-rise residential apartment:
