Prepare for Unpredictable Weather in 2013 with a Dimplex CXL Combination Heater

As we move out from winter and the warm excess of the New Year period, we should be wary of the spring. Judging from a quick glance outside, it ought to be warm. It might even be sunny. But, no. Spring is a notoriously fickle season, as prone to sudden dips in temperature as the winter or the British summer. And what is there to do when this happens? How can we even hope to prepare, freezing there in our socks of a Thursday morning? 2012 was the wettest year on record; what fresh surprises will 2013 bring?Note: the Dimplex CXL range and the XL ranges are no longer available; see here to find out the existing Heating solutions from Dimplex. Storing Heat Just in Case  We discussed the proper use of storage heaters just a few months ago, in October. The same basic principle applies: it's a good idea to store up the heat using cheap off-peak electricity during the slightly warmer seasons for a little extra comfort at night. Using the manual controls, it's especially simple to decide how much heat to charge using a storage heater and later release. But this won't help when a sudden freeze sets in. The Dimplex CXL Series Dimplex's combination heaters, the CXL series, combine a storage heating unit with a "top-up" convection heater that can be activated in case of cold weather, when the ceramic storage blocks are turned off.The CXL12, for example, is a 1.7kW storage heater and a 900W convector heater in a single, slimline casing - less than 8 inches (200mm) in depth and drip-proof with a rating of IPX4.So it's suitable for the bathroom - which is where it's often needed most. Its storage heater elements and components are based on the bestselling XL range, which remains a main player some years after its introduction.The convector heater is thermostatically controlled, and user-adjustable to maintain a comfortable room temperature when it's needed.Even if you're totally comfortable reading this right now, it's certainly worth investing in a Dimplex CXL combination heater for the year ahead, whatever weather it might bring.Note: this range of Dimplex heaters is now superseded by the Dimplex Slimline Storage Heaters on this list, available at Sparks.

How Portable Heaters can be an Ideal Weapon in the Preventing Hypothermia

There's an argument to be made concerning what is the ideal weapon in fighting and even preventing hypothermia, and we think that portable heaters can be an ideal weapon. In scientific terms, hypothermia is when our core body temperature reaches 35 degrees Celsius. This is opposed to a standard body temperature which should be 37 degrees Celsius. You don’t get frostbite as soon as hypothermia hits. In fact, with mild forms of the ailment, it can be very difficult to detect initially. Only a single degree drop in temperature can result in a slew of symptoms that may go unnoticed. These include slowed reaction time, impaired judgement, slurred speech and impaired rational decision-making. It is only when your core body temperature reaches 30 degrees that you will lose consciousness - and that is a rare occurrence. In this article, Sparks will delve more into the issue of hypothermia and explain how portable heaters may be the ideal solution to this widespread problem. Mild hypothermia and who it affects the most Mild hypothermia and who it affects the most - here are some of the symptoms of hypothermia. Picture credit: here.An indoor air temperature of 20 degrees can chill a body to 33 degrees in only eight minutes. This is well below what the average body temperature of a healthy adult should be. The people most at risk are the elderly and others with naturally low metabolic rates. Low metabolic rates cause people to generate less heat and most afflict those 60 years old and over. Elderly people with inadequate diets or heating are the most at risk from hypothermia. Infants are also susceptible to this condition - so be on the lookout for symptoms. With an infant, these symptoms include cold-to-touch bodies, bright red skin and unusually low energy rates. Extreme cases of hypothermia can result in death. It is not just the elderly and infants who may be affected by hypothermia: it could affect anyone in your household. This is why it is important to keep on the look-out for these symptoms and to find an effective solution. Portable heaters: an ideal weapon in preventing hypothermia Portable or ‘space’ heaters have had a renaissance recently, with a range of modern, eco-efficient models being released on the market. They offer an ideal solution to hypothermia, as you can warm up specific rooms an optimal temperature without wasting a huge amount of energy. There are three main types to take a look at.Buy Portable Heaters at Sparks Convector heaters Convector heaters are perfect for heating large spaces such as living rooms and conservatories, but are suitable for a variety of room types. They offer rapid warm-up and virtually silent operation. Convection works by air being pushed over a heating element, which then rises and enters the room. Cold air is pulled into the bottom of the heater and the process repeats itself. Eventually, all of the air within the room will be heated. Convector heaters also operate at a much lower volume than fan heaters.  This model is designed to complement any surroundings, has a thermostatic control, and is ideal for domestic or commercial use. Fan heaters Fan heaters, meanwhile, are lightweight which means they can be quickly moved to wherever they are most required. This adaptability is a key appeal of fan heaters for users looking for convenience in use, as they can be used for ‘zonal’ heating. They offer remarkably fast heat output and can be placed unobtrusively throughout the home, with the ability to heat large areas. Dimplex offers a mix of upright and ‘letterbox’ style fan heaters, as well as ‘towers’. You should pick which fan heater will suit your lifestyle the most. Dimplex’s modern range includes great features such as clear displays and controls and complete flexibility for your needs. For instance, there is the incredibly efficient Dimplex XLE070 which uses smart heat retention to save energy. The built-in timer also grants users greater control over their heating, which allows them to adapt their heating temperature and timings to suit their needs.Best Fan Heaters at Sparks Radiators Radiators have a near silent operation, so are great for use within bedrooms - but can be used anywhere across your home (apart from the bathroom). Some models even feature a fully programmable 24-hour timer, so you can set precisely when you want the heater to be in operation. This saves you from wasting energy at times of the day when it is not necessary for the radiator to be turned on. Dimplex has a fantastic range of radiators, that offer cutting-edge features to help keep you warm - and stay environmentally friendly. Don’t ignore the problem - get a portable heater to stay warm and healthy Hypothermia is a problem that is often overlooked but can no longer be ignored. This past year there were more than 34,000 excess winter deaths, with hypothermia being a major contributor to this terrible statistic. Portable heating solutions are now much cheaper, more eco-efficient and - above all else - will give you peace of mind. They are well worth investing in, to reduce the risk of hypothermia to your family and other loved ones, thus being a great help in preventing hypothermia.

How to Use a Storage Heater to Stay Warm in this Cold Winter

British Summer Time came to an end last week (and we hope you already set your clocks one hour backwards last Sunday night!), which can mean just one thing: it's time to switch on the heating. Normally, this just involves setting a timer on the boiler, but many smaller dwellings are heated by storage heaters. What is a Storage Heater? How Does it Work? These slim white appliances use electricity during the off-peak hours (usually during the night) to transfer heat to high-density material which gradually releases that heat later on - a process known as "charging" the heater. They are remarkable energy saving devices, so long as the electricity tariff offers different on- and off-peak prices.In the UK this is the Economy 7 tariff. Although they look unassuming, a storage heater can be quite daunting to use when they are first encountered, particularly if it was 'inherited' in a rented property or student accommodation. How to Use a Storage Heater There are two manual controls on a storage heater, usually dials: input (or charge), and output (or room temperature control). The input sets how much electricity the heater uses in the off-peak periods. This controls how much heat is stored by the appliance. The more electricity that goes in, the more heat that is available for use later. During the winter, it is advisable to set the input to its maximum level. The output control regulates how much of the stored heat is released during the on-peak hours. This can be set to different temperatures, and finding the "sweet spot" can be a matter of trial-and-error. Automatic storage heaters (such as the Dimplex XLE050) are even easier to use - many of them automatically compensate for environmental weather conditions. The appliance will always release a little heat as wasted energy during the charge periods. While this is inefficient, the heat loss is not too great and it can even be useful to protect the room against frost. If you own a storage heater and it is not already switched on, we would like to advise you to turn on the wall switch at least 24 hours before first use. If you do not own a storage heater, Sparks Electrical offer a great many models in-store and online (for in-store pickup).Why not consider buying a storage heater before it gets even colder?Best Storage Heaters at Sparks
