Dimplex Storage Heaters FAQ

How Do Electric Quantum Storage Heaters Work?

Contrary to a regular electric room heater, these machines work by storing electrical energy at night to release on-demand later in the home. Ceramic bricks are often used as the heating element in the system, meaning they are completely efficient and no heat energy is wasted.

They do not have any moving parts, which also means they save energy which means they are less maintenance to keep them running.

Dimplex night storage heaters also apply to the information above. However, other brands of heaters could be more suitable for you, so check your eligibility today to see what storage heater could suit your needs. You might even be able to get one for free with the ECO scheme.

How Long Do Dimplex Electric Storage Heaters Last?

Despite having a long life span, elements of the night storage heaters Dimplex provide might only last up to eight years. These elements could include the thermostat to control temperature. There are methods of repair that experts can complete, and you can request checkups on storage heaters in case they need replacing.

How Energy Efficient are Dimplex Heaters?

Tests on Dimplex smart storage heaters have shown 47% savings in the past when compared to electric convection heaters. However, it would be best to keep in mind that energy-efficient does not translate to cost-efficient as electricity can still cost more than gas in some cases.

Why Are Traditional Storage Heaters Not Good?

A radiator system or standard storage heater system does not have the best features of any electric heating system. Here are examples of some flaws of older storage electric heaters:

  • Not enough stored energy available
  • More heat leakage
  • Higher electricity bills
  • Higher running costs

How to Set Up a Dimplex Heater?

If you are sure that this is the brand for you, here are some tips for setting up the storage heater when you get it. The instructions below are specifically for the Quantum storage heaters model of Dimplex electric storage heaters UK.

Older storage heaters in comparison to Dimplex control Quantum heater with a Quantum IQ controller and boost element (also available as fan-assisted panel heaters) maybe be considered easier to use for home heating. The electric convector provides low cost as the built-in timer controls heating times resulting in a cheaper price for your electricity.

Initial Steps

Firstly, turn the machine on when plugged into the wall switches.

Tip: it works best if your Dimplex Quantum storage heaters are plugged in because the power programmer and charge function will always be active; you do not always have to be heating your home. Still, you will get the most of the features having it on.

With the Quantum models of the Dimplex storage heating system, you can next locate the controls on the top right of the machine. The three options listed should be a menu, back, and advance option on the digital display screen.

The main display screen should show you:

  • The target room temperature
  • Off-peak energy charge remaining from the previous night
  • The set timer mode
  • The operating status of the heater

You can also activate or deactivate the child lock by pressing the dial and back button together for five seconds. If you are starting this system, you can set a pin code to lock all the heater settings on the display menu. Competitions and product information shows the user’s requirements when discussing the many benefits of Dimplex heating and ventilation

Date and Time

This is a simple process when you get your storage heater. Click the menu button, and rotate the dial. The ‘date/time’ option should be highlighted on the digital screen, and then press the dial to select.

After this, you can choose to change the day or night setting to alter and set as you please. A feature of the storage heater is that it automatically updates the spring/autumn clock change.

Temperature

To adjust the temperature on the quantum storage heaters, you do not have to touch the display screen at all. Simply rotate the dial to your desired target temperature. The heater will switch off once the room has reached your selected temperature.

Tip: remember to set the temperature back to normal before midnight so the heater can store the correct amount of heat energy overnight for the following day.

Timer Modes

The Dimplex Quantum heaters have five-timer features that you can play with to find what benefits you the most:

User timer – you can select up to four periods of operation.

Out all day – only provides 7.5 hours of heating in the day, some during the morning and the rest in the evening.

Home all day – provides 13 hours of heating each day.

Away – you can set a temperature for the number of days you are out, reducing the heat output during this time to save energy.

Frost protection – maintains the room temperature of 7 degrees celsius to prevent frost in your home.
