With evenings getting darker and colder earlier, it’s clear the heating season is upon us. If your current heaters are underperforming, outdated or eating into your energy bills, this is the ideal time to consider a smarter upgrade.

At Electrix, we’re seeing more homeowners swapping old storage heaters or inefficient electric radiators for high-efficiency systems that deliver better comfort, lower running costs and full control.

Why Your “Old” Heaters Might Be Letting You Down

• Older storage heaters and convector models often lack modern controls or insulation, meaning they can’t adapt to your usage or the changing seasons.
• Without smart timers or adaptive charging, they may heat when you don’t need it and waste energy when you do.
• During the colder months your system will run more frequently, so inefficiencies become more obvious and more costly.
• Upgrading now means you’ll be ahead of the winter rush, benefit from better efficiency all season long and likely see quicker returns on your investment.

Meet the Upgrade: Dimplex Quantum Storage Heaters

One of the best options we’re recommending right now is the Dimplex Quantum series. A standout for efficiency, smart control and long-term value, this range is ideal for replacing old systems. Here’s why:

• High Heat Retention (HHR): Stores off-peak energy overnight and releases it on demand during the day — you use cheaper energy when it’s best.
• Smart controls and adaptive charging: The heater learns your usage patterns and adapts accordingly, meaning minimal waste and more comfort.
• Remote control and timers: With the optional RF module and smartphone app, you can schedule boost, away mode and zone control with ease.
• Efficiency savings: Independent testing shows up to 27% cheaper to run than standard storage heaters and up to 47% cheaper than electric radiators or convectors.
