For many years, the Dimplex PLX panel heater series was one of the most trusted names in electric heating. Compact, reliable, and easy to install, the PLX range became a staple in homes, offices, and commercial spaces across the UK.
While Dimplex has now discontinued the original PLX and XL ranges, the story doesn’t end there. The next generation, the Dimplex PLXE range, takes everything customers loved about the PLX and improves it with modern energy-saving features, smart controls, and Lot 20 compliance.
