Description
Enjoy comfortable, consistent warmth with the Dimplex AluRad 1.5kW WiFi Electric Radiator. Combining traditional radiator styling with modern smart heating technology, this wall-mounted electric radiator provides an effective heating solution for bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and other residential spaces.
Featuring a 1500W heating output, oil-filled technology, built-in WiFi connectivity and a seven-day programmable timer, the Dimplex DAR150 offers convenient control over your home's heating.
With its 100% recycled aluminium body, electronic thermostat and compatibility with the Dimplex CapaConnect app, the AluRad combines contemporary heating technology with a familiar radiator design.
1.5kW Electric Heating
The Dimplex AluRad DAR150 delivers 1500W of electric heating, making it suitable for a range of domestic applications.
Its oil-filled heating system provides a combination of radiant and convected warmth, helping create a comfortable indoor environment.
Unlike traditional central heating radiators, the AluRad operates independently of a boiler or wet heating system.
This makes it particularly useful for home extensions, renovations, individual room heating and properties without conventional central heating.
Oil-Filled Technology for Lasting Warmth
The AluRad uses oil-based heating technology to provide gentle, gradual warmth.
The sealed heating system warms the internal fluid, which transfers heat through the aluminium radiator body.
This allows the radiator to distribute warmth through a combination of radiation and convection.
The oil-filled design also helps retain warmth after the heating element switches off, providing a comfortable heating experience.
Built-In WiFi Connectivity
Take control of your heating with the Dimplex AluRad's integrated WiFi functionality.
The radiator connects directly to your home WiFi network, allowing you to manage its settings through the Dimplex CapaConnect app.
There's no need to purchase a separate smart hub or additional controller.
With a compatible smartphone or tablet, you can adjust heating settings remotely, making it easier to manage your home's comfort.
Dimplex CapaConnect App Control
Enjoy flexible heating management with the Dimplex CapaConnect app.
The app allows you to control compatible AluRad radiators from your smart device, whether you're relaxing at home or managing your heating remotely.
Key functions include adjusting temperature settings, creating heating schedules and organising multiple compatible radiators into heating zones.
This is particularly convenient for households using several AluRad radiators throughout the property.
Amazon Alexa Voice Control
The Dimplex AluRad DAR150 is compatible with Amazon Alexa, providing convenient voice control through a suitable Alexa-enabled device.
This allows you to manage supported heating functions using simple voice commands.
Alexa compatibility adds another convenient way to control your heating alongside the radiator's built-in controls and smartphone app.
Seven-Day Programmable Timer
Create a heating schedule that suits your lifestyle with the integrated seven-day programmable timer.
The AluRad allows you to set different heating periods throughout the week, making it easy to adjust your heating around work, school and household routines.
With up to four programmable periods per day, you can arrange heating to suit when rooms are normally occupied.
For example, you might programme your living room radiator to provide warmth during the morning and evening while reducing unnecessary heating during the day.
Accurate Electronic Thermostat
Maintain your preferred room temperature with the digitally controlled electronic thermostat.
The thermostat monitors temperature and adjusts heating operation according to your selected settings.
This provides more precise control than basic manual heating systems and helps reduce unnecessary electricity consumption.
The electronic controls are designed to work alongside the programmable timer and smart heating features.
Open Window Detection
Reduce wasted energy with the AluRad's integrated open window detection.
When the radiator detects a sudden temperature drop consistent with an open window, it can respond by adjusting heating operation.
This helps avoid unnecessary heating when a room is being ventilated.
Combined with the electronic thermostat and programmable timer, this feature supports more efficient everyday heating management.
Energy-Saving Heating Controls
The Dimplex AluRad incorporates several intelligent features designed to help households manage electricity consumption.
These include programmable heating schedules, electronic temperature control and open window detection.
By heating rooms according to your requirements rather than operating continuously, you can reduce unnecessary heating.
The AluRad is also compliant with Lot 20 Ecodesign requirements for electric space heating products.
100% Recycled Aluminium Construction
The AluRad features a robust heating body manufactured from 100% recycled aluminium.
The welded finned construction provides a durable structure while supporting effective heat distribution.
Its aluminium chassis combines strength with a clean, contemporary appearance.
The use of recycled aluminium also reduces the need for newly produced aluminium in the radiator body.
Traditional Radiator Appearance
Designed to resemble a conventional central heating radiator, the AluRad blends naturally into a wide range of interiors.
Its classic white finish complements modern and traditional rooms, making it a practical alternative to more industrial-looking electric heaters.
The radiator's familiar appearance makes it particularly suitable for homeowners replacing existing radiators or installing independent electric heating.
Slim Wall-Mounted Design
The Dimplex DAR150 measures 583mm high, 730mm wide and 130mm deep.
Its compact wall-mounted profile helps maximise available floor space while providing substantial heating capacity.
The included H-frame mounting bracket is designed to support straightforward installation on a suitable wall.
Professional electrical installation is recommended to ensure the radiator is securely fitted and correctly connected.
IP24 Rated Construction
The AluRad carries an IP24 protection rating, providing protection against splashing water.
This allows installation in appropriate locations where the manufacturer's electrical and installation requirements are satisfied.
For bathrooms or other moisture-prone environments, installation must comply with the relevant electrical regulations and permitted installation zones.
Built-In Safety Protection
The Dimplex AluRad includes an automatic-reset thermal cut-out designed to protect against overheating.
This safety feature provides additional reassurance during everyday operation.
The radiator also features a key-lock function that can help prevent unwanted changes to the heating controls.
Five-Year Manufacturer Guarantee
The Dimplex AluRad range is backed by a five-year manufacturer guarantee, subject to the manufacturer's registration requirements.
This provides additional peace of mind when investing in a long-term electric heating solution.
Smart Heating for Modern Homes
Whether you're renovating your home, upgrading an existing heating system or installing independent electric heating in a new room, the Dimplex AluRad DAR150 offers a practical combination of comfort, convenience and modern technology.
With its 1.5kW output, oil-filled construction, built-in WiFi, seven-day programmable timer and smart app control, it's an excellent choice for households looking for reliable electric heating with greater control over their energy use.
