Panel Heaters

Due to the decarbonising electrical grid, direct acting, wall mounted panel heaters are being increasingly specified as a compliant solution alongside low carbon hot water systems, such as hot water heat pumps, to provide for space heating requirements within new residential developments. Their flexibility also makes them ideal for commercial and refurbishment projects.

How do panel heaters work?

Dimplex Panel Heaters are direct acting heaters, using standard rate electricity to heat a space up quickly by using convection heat, or their features include a combination of radiant and convection heat. A range of controls ensures the user can align their heating with their unique requirements. The panel heater ensures rooms heat up rapidly, and accurate thermostats ensure that the room remains warm for the time selected and can be held at the temperature required, creating a constant, comfortable environment.

Alta Wi-Fi replacing Monterey, Girona and Saletto ranges

Replacing Monterey, Girona and Saletto, Alta Wi-Fi offers a more lightweight, Scandinavian-inspired design with a range of stylish clip-on glass accessories (sold separately) making it the ideal space heating system for building projects where space saving and aesthetics are key.

What should be considered when replacing a panel heater?

When replacing a panel heater, the practical aspects of its removal and the installation of a new model need to be considered, such as the size of the unit or the electrical socket placement, which helps reduce the need for redecoration or additional electrical work to be undertaken.

What is a low surface temperature (LSTE) panel heater?

A low surface temperature (LST) radiator is designed so that the surface temperature of the radiator does not exceed 43°C. This is for safety reasons to prevent possible scolding or burning of skin in specifications where safety is paramount, such as schools and care homes.

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.
