Heaters from ring

[Knobhead]

It’s a small maisonette not a sauna!

I don’t recall the OP asking about electricity charges and tariffs.

so informing the customer the running costs of convector heaters is not something you would do?

couple of minutes chat and thats it, hardly a hardship.

Only if you know the efficiency and running costs of the particular heater being installed.

An educated guess will give them a idea.

by ONLY i suppose you would offer no advice then to the customer?

By only I mean I would only inform them of the running costs if I know the running costs.

I don't give out advice to customers based on guesses.

 

[wozz]

let them find out approach.

Well i would and have done and many people are surprised at the cost of heating properties with electric at peak cost.

 

[davesparks]

How do you go about working out the running costs then?

I assume you factor in the insulation of the rooms to be heated, number of external walls, any other heat sources, energy tariff they are on, efficiency of the heaters, size of the rooms?

Not to mention the average householders complete inability to use storage heaters properly.

Economy 7 and 10 also have much higher peak costs, so for a small property it may not be worth it depending on how much they use the heaters and usage during peak times.

Someone has been influenced by all the company snake oil hype!! lol!!

These things as i remember, are bloody expensive radiators (around 600 quid for a 2KW radiator) and are actually no better than any other manufactures products.

Heard all this old hype before, like any electrical radiator/heater, you basically get 1KW of heat output, for every KW of input. Anyone telling you any different, is is giving you a load of snake oil....
