Description
The Dimplex AluRad DAR150 1500W Wi-Fi Electric Radiator combines the familiar appearance and comfortable warmth of a traditional radiator with modern electric heating technology and smart app control. With its oil-filled aluminium construction, accurate electronic thermostat and built-in Wi-Fi, it provides a stylish and highly controllable heating solution without requiring a conventional wet central heating system.
With a 1.5kW heat output, the DAR150 is designed for use across a range of domestic spaces including bedrooms, living areas, hallways, home offices and extensions. It can operate as an individual electric radiator or form part of a larger connected electric heating system.
Unlike basic panel heaters that primarily rely on rapid convection, AluRad uses oil-based heating technology to provide a combination of radiant and convected warmth. This creates a gentle and gradual heating effect similar to that associated with a traditional wet radiator, while the oil-filled design helps retain and release warmth effectively.
Built-in Wi-Fi allows the radiator to connect directly to your home network without requiring an additional hub or control accessory. Using the Dimplex CapaConnect app, you can remotely control the radiator, adjust temperatures and manage heating schedules from a compatible smartphone or tablet.
Amazon Alexa compatibility adds convenient voice control, allowing compatible smart-home users to incorporate the AluRad into their connected home heating setup.
For everyday efficiency, the DAR150 features a highly accurate electronically controlled thermostat capable of maintaining the selected temperature to within approximately ±0.2°C. The temperature set point can be adjusted between 7°C and 30°C, providing precise control rather than relying on the comparatively basic thermostat found on many traditional electric heaters.
A fully programmable 7-day timer lets you create heating schedules around your routine. Multiple heating periods can be programmed throughout the day, helping avoid heating rooms unnecessarily when they're normally unoccupied.
Open Window Detection provides another useful energy-saving feature. If the radiator detects the sudden temperature drop associated with an open window, it can respond accordingly rather than continuing to waste energy attempting to maintain the set room temperature.
Controls can also be accessed directly from the radiator using its clear 1.7-inch TFT LCD display, so everyday operation doesn't depend on having your phone available. A key-lock function can prevent unwanted changes to the settings, making it particularly useful in family homes, rented properties and shared or commercial environments.
The AluRad is manufactured using a robust welded and finned heating body made from 100% recycled aluminium. Its white finish and traditional radiator-inspired styling allow it to integrate naturally into contemporary or traditional interiors, while its slim 130mm installed depth helps minimise intrusion into the room.
For straightforward wall installation, Dimplex supplies an H-frame mounting bracket and installation template. The radiator is also IP24 rated and incorporates overheat protection for additional safety.
With its combination of 1500W output, oil-filled warmth, precise temperature management, weekly scheduling and built-in Wi-Fi, the Dimplex AluRad DAR150 provides a sophisticated alternative to both conventional electric panel heaters and traditional plumbed radiators.
