SMARTER CONTROL WITH PERFORMANCE FOR QUANTUM ELECTRIC HEATING

Dimplex Quantum’s electric heating combines advanced controls, proven efficiency and installer-friendly design, bringing together high-heat-retention construction with smart, self-learning charge control. By storing off-peak energy and releasing it exactly when rooms need it, Quantum helps households cut running costs while maintaining consistent comfort – supporting the balance that specifiers are increasingly being asked to deliver in retrofit programmes and planned upgrades.

A study has highlighted that Dimplex Quantum can deliver running-cost savings of up to 27% compared with older storage heaters, thanks to its advanced insulation, intelligent heat management control and precise energy-use optimisation. For specifiers and housing providers, this provides a proven performance narrative when evaluating replacements for ageing storage heater estates.

The range is backed by a 10-year guarantee and carries the independent BEAB safety mark, giving confidence that the products meet recognised safety standards.

Control is where Quantum truly stands apart – its intelligent algorithm learns household routines, automatically adjusting heat output to maintain consistent comfort while avoiding wasted energy. Features such as Adaptive Start and Open Window Detection help optimise efficiency without requiring constant user input.

Through the Dimplex Hub, compatible heaters can be connected to the Dimplex Control app, allowing users to manage their heating from anywhere with real-time visibility of performance and energy use. Quick-access functions such as Boost and Away modes make everyday operation simple, while scheduling and remote monitoring give

householders oversight of their heating system. When paired with Quantum’s advanced high heat retention technology, this connectivity takes performance even further. The system stores low-carbon electricity during off-peak periods and releases steady warmth throughout the day – creating a responsive heating solution that delivers lower running costs with effortless control.

For retrofit projects, Quantum’s casing and footprint are designed to help cover fixing marks left by older storage heaters, reducing the need for additional making-good or redecoration. For project delivery teams, this can help streamline replacements and support a cleaner finish within occupied properties.

Dimplex also offers training, technical resources and community support through the Dimplex PRO Installer Club. www.dimplex.co.uk
