Dimplex has upgraded its Girona and Monterey ranges of designer panel heaters to meet the EU’s new Lot 20 energy efficiency standard for ‘fixed’ heating products.

Modernising existing Dimplex models, the new ranges all include energy saving technologies such as an accurate electronic thermostat (+/-0.2ºC) providing improved temperature control. Combined with a low thermal inertia which enables the panels to heat up more quickly, the Girona and Monterey ranges are able to more accurately match and maintain a chosen room temperature. The new ranges also incorporate integral 7-day timer, open window detection and adaptive-start functionality.

These added features form part of the manufacturer’s commitment to ensure all three ranges are compliant with the new Lot 20 legislation.

In addition, the panel heaters have also been redesigned with clear, simple to navigate, yet advanced controls using touch-sensitive technology with optional audio feedback, complemented by an RGB backlit graphical display. Users will also benefit from standard timer modes (User Timer, Out All Day, Home All Day, Holiday) and continuous heat modes which include Manual, Frost Protect and Eco settings. 

The panel heater software also introduces a PIN-based Runback lock – allowing for greater control when installed in public areas.

The Dimplex panel heater range maintains its stylish design choices, including an elegant, black or white glass front design on the Girona, while the Monterey range consists of a stylish finned metal structure. Both models will cover most traditional panel heater fixing marks.

The Girona and Monterey designs are each available in a range of five models from 0.5 to 2.0 kW heat output.
