Our Electric Heating Services:
Dimplex Storage Heaters
Storage heaters are a tried and trusted electric heating solution, widely used in homes and properties across the UK – and with modern technology they are smarter and more efficient than ever. They work by storing heat overnight using off-peak electricity (at lower tariff rates), then releasing that warmth gradually throughout the day.
We are experienced installers of the Dimplex range of storage heaters, including the flagship Dimplex Quantum – the UK's most advanced high heat retention (HHR) storage heater. The Quantum uses intelligent, adaptive controls to automatically adjust to the weather and your daily routine, so you stay comfortable while keeping energy use to a minimum.
Benefits of modern Dimplex storage heaters:
- Use low-cost, off-peak electricity to heat your home for less
- No gas supply, boiler or pipework required
- Simple, low-maintenance operation – no annual servicing needed
- Reduce your property's carbon footprint
- Compatible with smart tariffs and the Dimplex Control app for remote management
- Improve your property's EPC rating
- Quiet, discreet and attractive designs that suit modern interiors
Whether you are replacing old storage heaters or installing a system for the first time, we can advise on the right size and number of units for your home, and carry out a clean, tidy installation with full certification.
Panel Heaters & Direct Electric Heating
For rooms where you need responsive, controllable warmth on demand, panel heaters and direct electric heaters are an excellent choice. Unlike storage heaters, they heat a room quickly and can be used exactly when needed, making them ideal as a standalone solution in well-insulated rooms, or as a complement to a storage heating system.
We install a range of direct-acting electric panel heaters suitable for:
- Living rooms, bedrooms and home offices
- Conservatories and extensions
- Rental properties and holiday lets
- Commercial offices, studios and retail spaces
Modern panel heaters feature programmable timers, digital thermostats and sleek, wall-mounted designs that take up no floor space whatsoever. Many models can also be integrated with smart home systems for full remote control.
Electric Underfloor Heating
There is nothing quite like the comfort of warm floors underfoot – and electric underfloor heating is one of the most popular heating upgrades for kitchens, bathrooms, extensions and new builds across the UK.
Electric underfloor heating systems use heating cables or mats installed beneath your floor surface to radiate gentle, even warmth upwards through the room. There are no radiators on the walls, no draughts and no cold spots – just consistent, comfortable heat from the ground up.
Why choose electric underfloor heating?
- Provides even, comfortable heat distribution across the whole room
- Space-saving – completely hidden beneath the floor
- Works beautifully under tiles, stone, laminate and engineered wood
- Energy efficient in well-insulated rooms and spaces
- Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, orangeries and extensions
- Can be controlled via smart thermostats for precise temperature management
- No ongoing maintenance once installed
Our electricians will design and install your underfloor heating system to the correct specification, ensuring all connections and circuits meet Part P building regulations – giving you complete peace of mind.
