Dimplex Quantum Storage Heaters

Discover the Dimplex Quantum range of high heat retention storage heaters, designed to make efficient use of lower-cost off-peak electricity while providing reliable, controllable warmth throughout the day. With intelligent charge control, programmable heating schedules and modern styling, Dimplex Quantum storage heaters offer a practical upgrade from older traditional storage heating systems.

Smarter Heating

Dimplex Quantum heaters combine high heat retention technology with intelligent controls to make better use of lower-cost off-peak electricity, storing only the energy required to meet the following day’s heating needs. 

Their highly insulated core helps retain heat for longer, making them a more advanced option within our wider range of storage heaters.

Each Dimplex Quantum heater also offers programmable heating schedules, precise thermostatic control and fan-assisted heat delivery, giving users far greater control than traditional storage heaters. 

Compatible models can also be managed remotely through the Dimplex Control app when paired with a separately available Dimplex Hub, while the wider Dimplex range includes additional electric heating solutions for different rooms and installation requirements.

Dimplex Quantum Sizes and Outputs

Dimplex Quantum heaters are available in five output sizes, ranging from 0.5kW through to 1.5kW, allowing the range to cover everything from smaller rooms to larger living spaces. 

Choosing the correct model is important because the right output will depend on factors such as room dimensions, insulation levels, glazing and overall heat loss rather than floor area alone.

For this reason, a Dimplex Quantum heater should be selected according to the heating requirement of the individual room rather than simply choosing the largest available model. 

If you are comparing different options, our wider range of storage heaters includes solutions for a variety of domestic and commercial spaces.

Dimplex Quantum Controls and Smart Features

Dimplex Quantum heaters use intelligent automatic charge control to calculate how much off-peak energy needs to be stored for the following day, adapting to room temperature, heating patterns and changing conditions. 

Programmable timers, precise thermostatic control, Boost and Away modes also give users much greater control over when heat is delivered.

Current Quantum RF models include built-in radio frequency connectivity and can be controlled remotely through the Dimplex Control app when paired with a separately available Dimplex Hub. 

This allows compatible heaters to form part of a more connected electric heating system, with schedules and temperatures managed from a smartphone.

Replacing Old Storage Heaters with Dimplex Quantum

Dimplex Quantum heaters are designed as a modern alternative to older storage heaters, combining improved heat retention with far more sophisticated control over charging and heat delivery. 

Traditional storage heaters can release significant amounts of heat before it is needed, whereas Quantum uses a highly insulated core and adaptive controls to retain stored energy and release warmth more deliberately throughout the day.

Upgrading can also provide programmable schedules, electronic thermostatic control and smart functionality that may not be available on older manual models. 

For homes already using off-peak electric heating, replacing ageing units with Quantum can therefore improve convenience and control without changing to an entirely different type of heating system. Explore the wider Dimplex range for additional electric heating options.

Dimplex Quantum Running Costs and Off-Peak Tariffs

Dimplex Quantum heaters are designed to make use of lower-cost off-peak electricity, making them particularly suitable for properties using Economy 7 or another compatible time-of-use tariff. 

The heater charges during designated cheaper periods, stores the energy within its insulated core and then releases heat according to the programmed heating 

requirements.

Actual running costs will depend on the electricity tariff, heater size, room temperature, insulation and how the system is programmed, so there is no single figure that applies to every installation. 

Intelligent charge control can help avoid storing more energy than required, while choosing the right tariff can have a significant effect on overall heating costs. For a more detailed breakdown, see our guide to How Much Do Dimplex Heaters Cost to Run?

Are Dimplex Quantum Storage Heaters Worth the Price?

Dimplex Quantum storage heaters prices are generally higher than those of basic electric heaters, but the extra cost reflects more advanced technology and greater control over how heat is stored and delivered. 

High heat retention, intelligent automatic charging and programmable controls are designed to make better use of off-peak electricity and reduce unnecessary heat loss.

For homes that rely heavily on electric heating, this can make a Dimplex Quantum heater a worthwhile long-term investment rather than simply the cheapest upfront option. With better control, strong heat retention and a design intended for everyday use, Quantum can provide better overall value where the system is matched to the right tariff and property.

Dimplex Quantum FAQs

Are Dimplex Quantum Storage Heaters Expensive to Run?

Running costs depend on the heater size, room requirements and electricity tariff, but Dimplex Quantum storage heaters are designed to make use of lower-cost off-peak electricity. Their automatic charge control also helps avoid storing more energy than the room is expected to need.

What Size Dimplex Quantum Heater Do I Need?

The correct Dimplex Quantum heater depends on the heat loss of the room rather than floor area alone. Room size, insulation, glazing and external walls should all be considered when choosing between the different Quantum outputs.

Can Dimplex Quantum Heaters Be Controlled From a Phone?

Yes. Compatible Dimplex Quantum heaters can be controlled through the Dimplex Control app when paired with a separately available Dimplex Hub. This allows remote adjustment of temperatures, schedules and heating zones.

Are Dimplex Quantum Radiators the Same as Storage Heaters?

The term Dimplex Quantum radiators is sometimes used when searching for the range, but Quantum models are actually high heat retention storage heaters. They store lower-cost off-peak energy and release the heat later rather than heating solely on demand like a conventional electric radiator.

Are Dimplex Quantum Storage Heaters Worth the Money?

Dimplex Quantum storage heaters prices are higher than those of basic electric heaters, but the additional cost reflects high heat retention technology, intelligent charging and more advanced controls. For properties that rely on electric heating and use a suitable off-peak tariff, that can make Quantum a strong long-term heating option.
