night storage
heaters
Dimplex Quantum storage heaters work in the same
way as standard night storage heaters, by charging
up overnight using the cheaper rate of electricity
available on Economy 7. But what makes Quantum
heaters di erent is that they have thermostats and
a digital programmer which makes them much more
responsive to your needs.
For example, you can choose a room temperature
and the times of day when you want the heater to
come on, and based on your choices the heater will
automatically work out how much electricity to store
overnight. And an internal thermostat will ensure that
when the room reaches the required temperature, the
heater turns o and retains the rest of the heat it has
stored for later.
Quantum heaters are better insulated than older
types of night storage heater, meaning that less heat
escapes when it isn't needed. They also respond to
seasonal temperature changes and 'learn' how much
heat to store. Thanks to these improvements, the
running costs of quantum heaters are around 27%
lower than standard night storage heaters.
Getting started
Firstly, make sure that both switches on the wall are
turned on and ensure they are left on all the time,
including overnight. This will not mean the heater keeps
heating 24 hours a day, it will just keep the low powered
programmer active. You can turn o
the summer, but it's best to avoid turning the heater o
and on at the wall during the colder months as this can
hinder the intelligent charging function.
