    I recently got my flat rewired. It had old storage heaters and we plan on putting modern storage heaters in.

    Been round to a house to quote to replace some storage heaters for new panel heaters and came across a strange (to me at least) way of wiring the old storage heaters via a contactor in the board, as usually I see their own off peak consumer unit which powers up at night via economy 7. From the...

    I have electric panel heaters, and I want a thermostat with wifi app control.

    So as the title says, I have 3 panel heaters in my flat, but only one really needs the fine control i'm after, the other two rarely go on even in dead winter as i'm stingy and my flat is small. The heaters are mains connected (no plug sockets) so i'm looking for something that ideally will go...

    Class 2 metal case heaters

    During an EICR the heater cases were found not connected to earth and only had 2 core cable, they do have a double insulated label on them, is this acceptable, they are fed by mcb with no rcd.
