What is a Dimplex Qrad Heater?
The Dimplex Qrad Radiator is a high-efficiency, low-maintenance electric space heater designed to provide comfortable, safe, and economical heating in homes, offices, and other locations. It is designed to be energy-efficient and cost-effective, with a thermostat that allows for precise temperature control.
Dimplex’s Qrad electric radiator boasts cutting-edge features such as adaptive start technology and dual-element technology. Adaptive start technology allows the Qrad heater to learn the thermal characteristics of a room, including the room size, outside temperature and average heat loss, to determine how long it needs to run in order to reach the set temperature. Dual-element technology offers a connective element with a variable output and a radiant element, enabling the heaters to accurately and comfortably maintain room temperatures whilst saving energy. Fully Lot 20 compliant, Qrad also features three customisable heating timers with four time and temperature settings for each day of the week.
What are the benefits of using a Dimplex Qrad Heater?
Dimplex Qrad Radiators are packed with innovative features to enhance comfort and efficiency:

-

Can I Use the Dimplex Control App with Qrad Heaters?

-
Adjust temperatures and set schedules.
-
Group heaters into zones for easier control.

Monitor energy usage and maintain minimum temperatures.
QradRF models require the additional purchase of the Dimplex Hub in order to be compatible with the Dimplex Control App
How do I install a Dimplex Qrad Heater?
Installing a Dimplex Qrad Heater is quick and easy. You must use the wall bracket supplied with the heater. There must be a minimum of 300mm clearance to the front and top of the heater and you should not install immediately below a socket outlet or connection box.
To fit the heater to the wall follow these steps:
1. Remove the bracket from the back of the heater by pressing down on the latches at the top of each bracket
2. Fix the bracket to the wall securely through the 4 pre-drilled screw holes
3. Line up the lower slots in the back of the heater with the bracket
4. Put the heater into an upright position and push the heater onto the bracket into the top latches
Is Dimplex Qrad Oil Filled?
No, the Dimplex Qrad is an oil-free electric radiator. It uses dual-element technology (convective and radiant) for rapid warm-up and accurate temperature control, making it a highly energy-efficient choice.
What safety features does the Dimplex Qrad Heater have?
The Dimplex Qrad Radiator is designed with safety in mind:
-
Overheat Protection: Automatically shuts off if unsafe temperatures are reached.
-
Child Safety Lock: Prevents accidental changes to settings.
-
IPX4 Splashproof Rating: Safe for use in bathrooms and damp environments.
-
BEAB Approved: Meets the highest UK safety standards for electric heating.
How do I maintain my Dimplex Qrad Heater?
The Dimplex Qrad Heater requires minimal maintenance. To clean the heater make sure that you disconnect the unit from the electricity supply first and ensure it is completely cool. You can then wipe the exterior with a soft damp cloth. If you wish to wipe behind the heater you can disconnect the heater from the wall bracket by releasing the latches on the bracket. Abrasive cleaners and furniture polish are not recommended as these may damage the finish. Periodically check wiring and connections for any signs of damage or wear, and replace them if necessary.
