The advanced Dimplex Quantum heaters can reduce energy bills and enhance comfort. Funding schemes may be available to make heating more affordable by assisting in replacing inefficient heaters with Dimplex Quantum heaters.

Like old storage heaters, Dimplex Quantum’s are designed to make the most of the Economy 7 tariff, storing heat overnight while electricity is cheaper.

However, unlike older models, Dimplex Quantum heaters are three times better insulated, making them a high heat retention heater. They also use fans for even greater control over heat output. This gives you complete control over when you want your heaters to be turned on and precisely how warm you want them to be room by room.

The heater also learns the heating up and cooling down times of the property, room by room, and adjusts settings accordingly.

These heaters’ ability to store the heat more effectively can mean that up to 45% of the unused stored heat from the previous day can be used to heat your property, ensuring bills are reduced and an even spread of heat around the property is more easily achieved.

This consistent availability of heat when it’s needed can help reduce instances of condensation and the resulting mould from under-heating the property.

The heaters typically cost £800 – £1,350 each. However, there may be funding available to help cover the cost of these, depending on your circumstances, the schemes available and your property.

Why High Heat Retention Heaters?

  • 27% cheaper to run than standard storage heaters & 47% cheaper than on-peak electric panel heaters.
  • Fully responsive heating controls – set temperatures room by room.
  • Boost option for unexpected cold weather.
  • Quick, easy installation process with a modern attractive design.
  • Improve the Energy Performance Rating of the property compared to other electric heating types.

Pre-installation

A visit to the home will be required to ascertain if the property is suitable for the work and to confirm eligibility. This will be followed by a technical survey by our installers to check the electrics and consumer unit to ensure the new heaters will be compatible, or what work is required to make the installation possible. The survey will also identify the heat demand for the property, so that the right size heaters can be fitted and it will also identify suitable heater locations.

The installer will also complete some paperwork to ensure the funding can be claimed.

You will need to ensure that there is a dual rate meter in your property that can work on both day and night rates. If you do not have one already, you will need to contact your utility company to order one, and if they do not have any, you may need to change supplier to one who does. We will assist you where we can in identifying a provider who can fit a meter if you are struggling to do so.

Installation

The work is typically completed in a day, but if there are more than 3 heaters to install or a lot of new wiring to complete, then it could take longer. Any cabling will be tucked into trunking to hide it and the electrician should also set it up how you would like it, explain the controls, and leave you with a quick start guide and manual.
