Dimplex is a company that specializes in electric heating and renewable energy solutions. The company was founded in 1973 in Ireland by Martin Naughton. It initially focused on manufacturing electric heating elements. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Dimplex expanded its product range to include electric heaters, fires, and other heating appliances. The company became known for its innovation in electric heating technology, introducing features such as flame effects in electric fires. In the 1990s, Dimplex experienced significant international growth, expanding its presence into markets beyond Ireland and the UK. The company's reputation for quality and innovation helped it become a leading brand in the electric heating industry worldwide. In the early 2000s, Dimplex began to diversify its product offerings to include renewable energy solutions such as heat pumps and solar thermal systems.

What is the practical difference between the freestanding Dimplex ML convector heaters and the PLXE wall-mounted smart panel heater, and which one might suit your room better?

The ML models are freestanding convector heaters (available as 2kW and 3kW) so you can move them between rooms and use them as a quick, temporary boost; they're handy if you want portable heat. The PLXE is a 2000W wall-mounted smart panel heater designed to be a neat, permanent solution with app-enabled control for schedules and comfort. If you need flexible, occasional heat go for an ML; if you want a tidy, always-available heat source with smart control in a bedroom or living room, the PLXE is more suitable.

How much space will a 2kW or 3kW Dimplex heater typically heat?

A 2kW unit is commonly used for small to medium rooms — for example a standard double bedroom or a small lounge — while a 3kW convector is better suited to larger living areas where you need a stronger output. Insulation, ceiling height and whether the heater is used as background or boost heat will affect performance, so think of 2kW as light-to-moderate heating and 3kW for larger or chillier spaces.

What features does the Dimplex Control App Smart Hub add to the PLXE 2000W panel heater?

The Smart Hub lets you control compatible Dimplex smart heaters from the app, so you can set schedules, adjust temperatures remotely and centralise control for several units. That makes it easier to reduce running time and target heating when you actually need it — for example, you can program a warm-up period before you return home rather than running the heater all day.

Are these Dimplex electric heaters energy-efficient enough for regular daily use?

Modern electric heaters convert almost all electrical energy into heat at the point of use, and Dimplex has a strong focus on efficient, innovative products, so they are effective for regular use when sized and controlled correctly. Using a 2000W PLXE with the Smart Hub to schedule temperatures or selecting an appropriately sized ML model for short boost periods will keep running time—and cost—down.

Can you manage several heaters from one smart hub, and how does that compare to the freestanding models?

The Control App Smart Hub is designed to manage compatible Dimplex smart heaters centrally through the app, so you can run multiple PLXE panel heaters as zones from one point. Freestanding ML convectors are typically standalone plug-in units without hub control, so if you want multi-room scheduling and remote control, opt for the PLXE plus the Smart Hub combination.
