Evening all
i was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of the dimpled quantum range. It has a dual supply one from the off and one on peak.
The installation instructions are rubbish and give little guidelines to the specific cable and mcb sizes only the unit cables are peak 1.5 and off peak...
Hi Guys, new to this forum and need some advice..
i have purchased a flat that had storage heaters fitted, these were of no use and I am replacing them with new dimplex Monterey panel heaters throughout. The question I have is to do with installation. I would like the central 4 zone controller...
Hello everyone,
This is my first post.
We have just bought a new flat, which was built in the 60s. It has some really old brown Dimplex Storage Heater units (probably made in the 80s, if not even earlier), which we would want to replace. There is also what appears to be a bimetallic...
A client has a Dimplex TRS120 oil-filled 120W electrical towel rail. The element has packed up and before it's replaced I wanted to check whether the 120W element could simply be replaced with a higher wattage one, e.g. 175W (TR8404), as listed in the Dimplex spares brochure, a couple of lines...
I recently bought an apartment with 2 Duo Heaters 500i and 300i. Got 2 EPX panel heaters in the bedroms. No central control system. Im finding that the running costs for the Duo Heaters quite high and that they are not heating the room 25sqm enough when i get home in the evenings. I have tried...
My parents have got storage rads and a few don't work properly, despite the knob being on the lowest setting they pump out maximum heat. What is the part that has failed and where can I get them from?
Would it be cost effective to replace all of the rads as they are really old? I'm not sure if...
Hi, 2 out of 3 of our storage heaters have started playing up, with similar issues. Come midnight, when the off peak supply kicks in, the heaters start clicking continuously - almost like its a Relay not being able to make its mind up. Anyone any idea why it's doing this? The second problem is...
Just installed duo 500n x1 and 3 EPX 1000 heaters using mains borne receivers, appropriate programmer and filter at incoming supply.
Anyone had an issue with the receivers for the EPX range. The rx9913 receiver firstly comes with an instruction sheet with no reference to EPX set up.
When...
Hi,
I've recently bought a flat and have done away with the old storage heaters that were fitted. I was pretty set on replacing these with Dimplex Duo Heat storage heaters and the panel heaters to match until the electrician came round last night and suggested Rointe ones. Its a top floor flat...
Hi, looking for some advice on how I can fix a problem I'm having with my central heating system if possible.
I'm not an electrician but I would like to try and fix the problem myself :-)
I have a flat with 4 Dimplex heaters all controlled by the wall mounted control panel. There are 2 dimplex...
Evening Chaps...
One of my customer is a small 1800's church, which is pretty cold.
Been asked if I can offer a solution to their heating.
Details:
- no other services coming in, just electric
- 100amp incoming supply (max demand very minimal at present : 9 x lights, 4 x 13amp socket, 1 x...
I have to go to a job on saturday and wire in a dimplex AC45N heater in a new premises. The client removed it from his old premises and has now mounted it above his door and wants me to wire it in. Now as its 4500w I'm going to put it on its own dedicated 20a mcb.
Now he had it wired to 3 mk...
Have been asked to look at a smoking shelter in a pub garden. There are 2 Dimplex heat lamps on the wall, run from two spurs, off the ring. Not on Timer switch .
The lamps keep blowing in the space of a week.
Anyone got any ideas, other than the smokers having to stand in the cold! :)
Hello
Have attended property to investigate fault on storage side of dimplex heater. Fault caused by supply conductors [line & neutral]touching internal casing of store and melting causing dead short. No idea how long they had been in contact with case for. After replacing flex storage elements...

Hi guys, I've been reading your forum over the years for advice and fixed a few things (thanks) including my girlfriends storage heater.
It had the common problem with the PCB and PCB controller, I wasn't 100% sure which so I replaced both. The symptoms included it making a horrendous loud...
Hi all. Got 2 heaters that have stopped working and I think there maybe a reset switch/button somewhere on these. Question is where and what does it look like? Any pictures welcome. Cheers.
Hi all,
Am a new member and have a dimplex duoheat 400i thats playing up. When switched on it sounds like the relay on the pcb is hunting and the led`s on the temp contoller are flashing all the time. Any suggestions would be greatfully appreciated.
