My daughter bought a 2 bedroom flat with e7 storage heaters, no gas supply. 2 of the 3 heaters are not fully working (only instant heat elements working though the e7 supplies have been checked and are all good).
Q is whether to replace all 3 with latest gen storage heaters or panel heaters...
Hey all, a few questions!
I had some old storage heaters that I've ripped out and replaced with oil filed electric radiators instead.
I now need to wire them up using the existing sockets that were there.
First thing is what's involved with converting to a normal energy supply from economy7...
I am sorting out a few problems in a fairly new build (3 years) no paperwork or instructions came with the property !!
a couple of the heaters pop and fizz, so I presume the builders stored them the wrong way and some oil drained out
the biggest problem is that I have no idea of the...
Hi. Please can someone offer me advise. I have a 1 bedroom flat with storage/comfort heaters (don't know which) that I don't turn on as I can't afford to run them. I have always had really high electricity bills and two metres which are supposed to cover day and night usage. Scottish Power...

I have just had a "smart" meter installed , and at night the electrics trips the RCD when the night storage radiator section comes on. I have had them out and they said installation was correct. I know a little about electrics (more over cautious and basic) but was suppressed when I looked at...
Hi All. I'm wiring a loft conversion, 2 small bedrooms and landing with separate ring circuit feeding 6 socket outlets and lighting circuit. Owners do not wish to extend their CH system and asked me to install 500W IR panel in each bedroom.
You can buy these units with a standard 13A plugs but I...
Hello all, I have been asked to do a eicr on a property, as the client has asked to rectify any issues as I go along, I have come across a supply to some storage heaters running off a oldb3036 consumer unit. It is running off a 24 hour supply ie 4 terminal meter but within it has contactors. I...
I have been asked to quote to install 6 x 1.8kW heaters to a wooden pergola with a perspex roof. It's on decking and there is a TN-C-S earth provided. There are obvious things to consider about the heat etc, but I'm more concerned about the electrical installation. It is 12m long and 4m wide and...
Hi, I’ve been asked to install 5x 3kw ceiling heaters in a room for a salon.
I just want to check how you would install them?
I’m thinking a radial in 4mm2 cable (singles in conduit), from cu to thermostat, to contactor to heaters, 13amp f/spur at each heater?
Customer wants them all to come on...
We have old dimplex storage heaters which need replacing. We don’t use E7 so want to replace with modern electric radiators. One large room (20m2), two medium (15m2) and one hallway. The range and types are baffling. Can anyone either recommend a type/manufacturer or a source of reliable...
Hi All, my flat has Off-Peak and Peak power supply and the hot water is produced via 2 immersion heaters, the bottom element is fed by the Off-Peak supply and the top one by peak (24hr) supply. As immersion heaters have a limited life span, I'd like to have more control of the Off Peak element...
I'm repurposing an agricultural building as a research workshop, where sometimes reasonably accurate air temperature control will be needed.
I want to keep it simple, flexible, and cheap.
Rather that fit modern and expensive wall-mounted heaters, which have a plethora of complicated...
please could somebody tell me how storage heaters are linked/synchronised with the electricity supplier so that they switch themselves off and on to coincide with the timings of the Economy 7 rate. In my case, for example, the E7 timings are allegedly 11.30 to 6.30am but the storage heaters are...
