Dimplex’s Edel hot water heat pump is now listed on the UK Government-backed Energy Technology List (ETL) – and is currently the only dedicated hot water heat pump to be included, according to the company.
The listing confirms the Edel range (170, 200 and 270-litre models) meets the strict energy performance criteria set out by the scheme, giving a recognised benchmark at a time when compliance, efficiency and real-world performance are under increasing scrutiny.
As Part L evolves, technologies that can demonstrate verified performance are moving higher up the agenda. ETL inclusion provides reassurance, reducing specification risks and supporting long-term energy and carbon targets.
Edel uses energy extracted from external air to deliver efficient domestic hot water across both newbuild and retrofit applications. Its compact, self-contained design allows for straightforward installation in space-constrained settings, without adding unnecessary system burden.
That confidence is already being demonstrated on site – at the Chateau Mews development in West Bridgford, delivered with Keepmoat – Edel units were specified as part of a fully electric solution designed to meet modern energy standards and remove reliance on gas.
Installed within standard utility cupboards in each apartment, the compact units addressed space constraints while delivering an efficient, low-carbon hot water system. The approach also supported Part L compliance, where domestic hot water is an increasingly important part of overall energy performance.
The project reflects a wider shift towards decentralised, apartment-level solutions that simplify installation and support compliance without increasing system complexity.
Dimplex says independently verified technologies will help people make confident, well-informed decisions. www.dimplex.co.uk
