Electric Heating Fixed -> Commercial Heating -> Industrial Fan Heaters and Fan Storage Heaters -> Dimplex High Output Fan Storage Heater 4.6kW
The VFMi range of high output fan storage heaters has the capacity and controllability to cope with the demands of larger environments and commercial premises. Exceptionally high heat retention gives low static case discharge and accurate responsive output is provided by the thermostatically controlled fan.
Efficient control of room temperature
A thermostatically controlled, quiet fan moves air through the hot storage core to the lowlevel outlet grille providing rapid room temperature lift and controlled discharge of the stored heat. At the air outlet grille hot air from the core is
automatically mixed with room temperature air to ensure an even air output temperature. The thermostat has its sensor situated in the base of the heater adjacent to the air inlet side of the fan for maximum accuracy. The integral
thermostat also provides close control over temperatures in large open plan office areas where localised hot or cold spots (such as those caused by electrical equipment or corridors) create ‘micro-environments’. For even greater control the fan circuit may be linked to a separate timer.

Energy saving feature:
• Highly accurate thermostat for close control over retained heat.
Other Features:
• Ideal for offices, hotels, community rooms, halls and larger homes.
• Loadings from 3.4 to 6.9kW.

What are Heavy Goods?
Carriage is shown at the checkout stage and is charged at the cost price of a pallet based on a 48 hour delivery service to most locations, more remote locations can be longer because of the logistics involved. All storage heaters, except mini-bathroom storage heaters, are over the standard carriage weight of 30kgs. Carriage is calculated based on your postcode and the number of pallets that will be necessary to despatch your order (e.g. The cost of delivering 4 storage heaters could well be the same cost as delivering 1 storage heater if it is possible to get 4 heaters of the size ordered on to one pallet). We work on a maximum weight of 500kgs per pallet which will be delivered by lorry. It is your responsibility to unload the pallet.
