Dimplex

For doctors’ surgeries, dental practices, or any other healthcare or wellness business where people may need to wait for an appointment, Dimplex has all the answers for keeping customers warm while waiting, with a wide range of flexible electric heating solutions.

For a fast boost of warmth from a fan heater for high traffic areas, or a constant background heat from economical off-peak storage heaters, there’s a product for every situation, including advanced electronic control options for an integrated whole-building solution to keep a tight hold on running costs.

The WF fan convector range provides rapid response heating. A powerful 3kW maximum output and accurate thermostatic control ensure a comfortable temperature is quickly established and then maintained for economy. By drawing room temperature air in through the front panel and blowing warm air through the concealed grille underneath, the heaters set up a very effective circulation of air in the room, avoiding the wasteful ‘heat up and cool down’ cycle. The WF range is suitable for installation in a wide variety of environments and is available in either a contemporary or a more classic finish.

Fan-assisted storage can also provide a good balance between low running costs and capable performance. Although only a little larger than conventional domestic storage heaters, the Dimplex VFMi range of heaters has been designed with higher insulation levels to retain heat for longer, making them ideal for commercial situations where heat demand is often greater yet may not remain at a constant level. Their extra performance also means they make the very best use of low electric tariffs, too.

Panel heaters are also great for waiting areas as they offer a quick warm up and thermostatic control to maintain a steady temperature during use. They are also splashproof (IPX4) rated for use in bathrooms or wet areas. The EPX range has loadings from 0.5kW up to 2kW and comes with a range of optional plug-in timers, including 24 hour or run back timer which ensures the heater is not left on all day. The popular PLX range is available in loadings from 0.5kW up to 3.0kW and includes models with seven day timers, plus the PLXNC range which has no controls and is designed for use with Dimplex remote timers for additional control over energy use.
